GOLD'N FUTURES REPORTS ON GRADE-BLOCK MODELING PROGRAM FOR THE HERCULES GOLD PROJECT, NORTHERN ONTARIO

Gold'n Futures Mineral Corp. has provided first results of its current resource modelling of the gold zones of the Hercules gold project, located in the Beardmore-Geraldton mining camp of Northern Ontario. The Company completed at the end of 2022 its compilation of the extensive database generated on the Hercules property through several decades of prospecting, mapping, geophysical surveys, trenching and some 547 drill holes and about 114,000 meters ("m") of cores. Much of the information was assembled from numerous and disparate sources that has wherever possible been verified and made suitable for a National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate ("MRE").

Highlights of the findings of the modeling program include:The Golden Mile vein system (the "GM Vein") is traced by diamond drilling and surface trenches for a continuous strike length of about 1,560 m with a further 300 m of trench untested on the north limb; The GM Vein's strike length is extended by approximately 300 m to the south east to connect with and to include the Amede gold zone;The GM Vein contains very high grade sections and may comprise multiple zones or shoots of high grade mineralization that plunge to the west; Initial geostatistical analyses suggest that there is a second set of mineralization which concentrates gold in cojoining shears;Nuggety gold is strongly influencing grade fluctuations which is to be addressed with more sampling of surface showings and drill core intersections; and,The next steps for the Hercules project will address defining extensions of the gold zones and shoots and locating new gold zones by testing specified targets.

Gold'n Futures' President and CEO, Stephen Wilkinson, commented,

"We are very encouraged by the grade-block model which clearly shows that the Golden Mile vein is strike continuous to the southeast connecting with the Amede vein. The vein system as determined by drilling now exceeds 1,600 metres in strike length. Importantly, the model defines a southwest plunge to the mineralization of potentially high-grade gold mineralized shoots, and areas of little or no drilling. These are significant target areas which will be drill tested commencing in our next program."

For today's update, Gold'n Futures presents the three dimensional ("3D") model of the southeast portion of the GM Vein. This southeast portion of the GM vein covers approximately 1,600 m of strike where the most intensive historical work has occurred. For developing the vertical long section, the Company employed drill intersections from 349 drill holes and 34 composite channel samples. The channel samples were cut across the quartz veins and were accurately located by survey-grade GPS. The channel samples were largely taken from trenches limited to 400 m of strike, representing roughly 1/4 of the length of the grade-block section of Figure 1.

The GM Vein model incorporated grade blocks measuring 10 m by 10 m by 10 m. The model over its strike length reaches a maximum depth of approximately 475 m and with depth of intersections averaging about 180 m. In addition, the Golden Mile including the Amede vein grade blocks reveal shoots of high-grade mineralization plunging to the southwest. Significantly, all of these shoots are under-drilled.

The model also highlights a high-grade horizon in the GM Vein from surface to approximately a 70 meter depth that corresponds on surface to the channel sampled trenches. The high-grade surface channel cuts significantly influenced the grade, while the 30 meter drill spacing within and below this horizon may be understating the grade. This abrupt grade differential could be resolved by closer spaced drilling along with detailed channel cuts of Golden Mile trench.

The drill-defined strike of the GM Vein is an important component of the MRE which the Company is working towards. However, surface mapping, trenching and sampling has demonstrated the GM Vein occurs over more than 2,000 m. Plus, as announced on June 2, 2022, the GM Vein has an extended strike as determined by the recent airborne magnetic survey of more than 6,900 m. Clearly, GM Vein is a very significant structure of which about 6% of its length has been trenched and sampled and only about 25% has seen any drilling. Even with the information derived from hundreds of drill holes, the GM Vein although being a highly prospective gold-rich system requires further detailing.Figure 1.

The section view is looking from the southwest to the northeast at the vertical projection of the Golden Mile vein. The grades of the blocks are chosen to demonstrate the presence of the plunging shoots whereas the MRE may contain resources estimates based upon economically significant cut-off sensitivities.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/9330/166231_6fa9b290f463eb84_001full.jpg

Next Steps

Gold'n Futures is similarly building grade block models on each of the other main gold zones for which it has surface sampling and drill data. The other zones include the Wilkinson Lake/Penelton zone, the Lucky Strike/Bobby Orr, the Yellow Brick Road zone, the 7 of 9 zone and the Marino zones.

With the commencement of its 2023 field work, the Company will undertake a multipronged program beginning with the expansion of the very important channel sampling of previously overlooked trenches and the examination of the drill core in its storage area. The purpose of this portion of the program will be to augment the existing sample data and to gain statistically relevant estimates of the GM Vein grade in the presence of its notable gold nuggets.

The MRE will be the culmination of the current program and its completion will be announced as soon as the program allows. The Gold'n Futures team believes it may be able to announce the new MRE within the next 4 weeks.
