About Athena Gold Corp.

Athena is engaged in the business of mineral exploration and the acquisition of mineral property assets. Its objective is to locate and develop economic precious and base metal properties of merit and to conduct additional exploration drilling and studies on its projects across North America. Athena's Laird Lake project is situated in the Red Lake gold district of Ontario, covering over 7,000 hectares along more than 10 kilometres of the Balmer-Confederation Assemblage contact, where recent surface sampling results returned up to 373 grams per tonne gold. This underexplored area is road accessible, located about 10 kilometres west of West Red Lake Gold's Madsen mine and 34 kilometres northwest of Kinross Gold's Great Bear project. Also located in Northwestern Ontario is Athena's Forester project, a 4,900-hectare land package located less than 30 kilometres southeast of Orla Mining's Musselwhite gold mine, with historical drill intercepts showing strong potential for both high-grade, narrow-vein and low-grade, bulk-tonnage gold mineralization. Meanwhile, its Excelsior Springs project is located in the prolific Walker Lane trend in Nevada, where it is currently under an earn-in option with Mammoth Minerals Ltd. (formerly Firetail Resources Ltd.). The Excelsior Springs project spans over 2,500 hectares and covers at least three historic mines. Athena also holds a 100-per-cent interest in its Oneman Lake gold/volcanogenic massive sulphide project in Ontario.
