About Carlin Gold Corp.

Carlin controls two 100-per-cent-owned gold exploration properties in Nevada, the Cortez Summit property and Willow property, both containing Carlin-style gold targets. Cortez Summit lies about one kilometre northeast of the north end of Nevada Gold Mines' (NGM) 13-million-ounce Goldrush deposit (National Instrument 43-101 technical report effective Dec. 31, 2021, prepared for Barrick by NGM) and east of Barrick's Fourmile 3.19 Moz resource (Barrick 2022 annual report). Cortez Summit is contiguous with Barrick and NGM claims on all sides. NGM has submitted a final environmental impact statement for Goldrush and a record of decision was obtained in December, 2023.
