About Element79 Gold Corp.

Element79 Gold is a mining company focused on gold, silver and associated metals committed to maximizing shareholder value through responsible mining practices and sustainable development of its projects. Element79 Gold's main focus is on two core properties: the previously producing, high-grade gold and silver mine, Lucero, located in Arequipa, Peru, with the intent to bring it back into production in the near term; and its flagship Maverick Springs project located in the famous gold mining district of northeastern Nevada, United States, between the Elko and White Pine counties. Maverick Springs hosts a National Instrument 43-101-compliant, pit-constrained mineral resource estimate reflecting an inferred resource of 3.71 million ounces (Moz) of gold equivalent (AuEq) at a grade of 0.92 gram per tonne (g/t) AuEq (0.34 g/t gold (Au) and 43.4 g/t silver (Ag)) with an effective date of Oct. 19, 2022. The acquisition of the Maverick Springs project also included a portfolio of 15 properties along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada, which are non-core to its primary business focus. In British Columbia, Element79 Gold has executed a letter of intent and financed a drilling program to acquire a private company that holds the option to a 100-per-cent interest of the Snowbird high-grade gold project, which consists of 10 mineral claims located in central British Columbia, approximately 20 kilometres west of Fort St. James. The company also has an option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Dale property, 90 unpatented mining claims located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ont., Canada, in the Timmins mining division, Dale township. The company is analyzing the non-core Nevada projects, the Dale property and Snowbird property for further merit of exploration, sale or spinout.
