EVERGOLD CONDUCTS AIRBORNE MAGNETIC SURVEY OF DEM PORPHYRY PROPERTY, B.C., IN PREPARATION FOR 2024 FIELD SEASON

A 1,490-line-kilometre, high-resolution heli-borne magnetic survey over the entire 10,451-hectare breadth of Evergold Corp.'s road-accessible DEM property, located 40 kilometres northwest of Fort St. James in central British Columbia, is now under way. The survey is being carried out in follow-up to a small three-hole reconnaissance drill program carried out in October to November last year on the large DEM1 porphyry prospect, which covers four square km (4 per cent) of the highly prospective 104 square km property area. The drilling targeted a multielement geochemical anomaly in soils overlying the topographically highest areas of the DEM1 prospect along with coincident and compelling strong magnetic, induced polarization chargeability and resistivity anomalies, suggesting high discovery potential. Initial assays (additional assays are pending) from this very preliminary drill program have attracted considerable positive attention in the technical community and industry, including a shoutout as "the property to watch" by the B.C. government geologist at the recent AMEBC Roundup conference in Vancouver. These early assay results demonstrate:

• A large new porphyry system at DEM1;
• A system fertile for both intrusion and related vein-hosted precious and strategic metals;
• A remarkable assemblage of sulphides and associated high-value elements, including gold, silver, molybdenum, cobalt, tungsten, tellurium and rhenium, indicating a richly mineralized system that is considered likely to produce both broad and/or high-grade intercepts with higher-density drilling, now in planning;
• Broad intercepts of gold and silver, for example, 135 metres of 0.12 gram per tonne Au, two g/t Ag from six to 141 metres in hole DEM23-01, and 48.2 metres of 0.58 g/t Au and 11 g/t Ag from 303 to 351.2 metres in hole DEM23-03;
• High-grade porphyry-hosted intercepts, including individual sample highs of molybdenum (0.82 per cent) with associated gold (1.2 g/t), rhenium (3.7 g/t) and silver (eight g/t);
• High-grade vein-hosted intercepts, including individual sample highs of gold (29.5 g/t), silver (182 g/t), cobalt (0.12 per cent), copper (0.19 per cent) and tellurium (41 g/t).

An earlier, limited-coverage magnetic survey carried out in 2017 proved highly effective in delineating the immediate area of the DEM1 target. A recent review of the sea-level susceptibility slice of the publicly available regional magnetic data set revealed a large new anomaly immediately southeast of DEM1, of similar scale and character. The magnetic survey now under way is expected to better define this DEM2 target, possibly reveal others over the roughly 96 per cent of the property not surveyed to date, and provide greater detail and depth penetration over and below the DEM1 prospect, allowing for more effective drill targeting.

"Markets continue to be tough, but we remain very keen on the DEM1 prospect, and the wider DEM property," said Kevin Keough, President and chief executive officer. "The recent shoutout DEM received to an overflow crowd at Roundup -- uniquely so among all the projects highlighted -- is instructive. The results returned from our tiny first-pass drill program were highly encouraging, and the industry is watching. We look forward to advancing the DEM1 prospect this summer, possibly with the participation of an industry partner, and to searching for additional targets on the largely unexplored, highly prospective DEM property."

About the DEM project

The 10,451-hectare DEM property, located in moderate terrain only 40 kilometres northwest of Fort St. James in central B.C., lies toward the south end of the Nation Lakes porphyry camp and within the Quesnel terrane, the latter of which hosts large deposits and long-life mines, including the nearby Mount Milligan mine (50 km to the northeast of DEM), and Lorraine deposit and, farther south, the Mt. Polley, Afton, Copper Mountain and Brenda mines, in addition to the Highland Valley mines and deposits. Located central to the DEM property is the DEM Halo (also known as DEM1) prospect, a roughly four square km target area defined by alteration and mineralogy suggestive of the presence of a porphyry system, by a multielement soil geochemical signature, including soil highs to 2.1 parts per million Au, 160 ppm Ag, greater than 10,000 ppm arsenic and 651 ppm Cu, by compelling high-relief magnetic and induced polarization-chargeability anomalies, and by the presence of nearby regional-scale structures. Extensive logging in the area and associated forest service roads provide drive-on access directly to the DEM prospect. All of these factors, when combined, indicate excellent discovery potential for a precious and strategic metals-enriched porphyry and related vein systems. Further details on the DEM prospect may be found on the company's website and in a Natioanl Instrument 43-101 technical report entitled "Technical Report on the DEM Property," dated Aug. 30, 2023, posted thereon and on the company's issuer profile at SEDAR+.
