Phenom Resources options Crescent Valley project

PHENOM OPTIONS CRESCENT VALLEY EPITHERMAL GOLD PROPERTY, NEVADA

Phenom Resources Corp. has provided an update on the timely and selective addition to its gold exploration portfolio in Nevada by signing an option agreement for an epithermal gold property strategically located along the southwest fringe of the Carlin gold trend in northern Nevada, approximately 15 kilometres (12 miles) west of the company's flagship Carlin gold-vanadium project.

Dave Mathewson, Geological Advisor to the Company states, "The Crescent Valley Project represents the largest quartz vein system in Nevada that I am aware of. The project is a low-sulphidation bonanza vein epithermal gold opportunity with a setting remarkably similar to that of the SLEEPER deposit in Humboldt County, Nevada. The SLEEPER Mine was a high-grade gold mine operated by AMAX Gold from 1986-1996 and was considered the lowest cost producer in the world in 1988 at $103/oz because of its open pit mined Bonanza vein and wall-rock gold grades which averaged 0.48 opt Au."

Paul Cowley, President & CEO states, "We are very pleased to add this high-quality gold asset at this time of elevated gold prices. The terms are very reasonable to manage, allowing us to complement our flagship project yet focus the bulk of our treasury on drilling the Carlin Gold-Vanadium Project this summer. Summer 2023 exploration plans for the Crescent Valley project will start with a Phase 1 surface sampling and geophysical surveys program to optimize drill targeting in a Phase 2 program."

The Crescent Valley claim group, located 22 km (13 miles) southwest of the town of Carlin, Nevada comprise 38 unpatented lode claims protecting a 4 kilometre (2.5 mile) strike-length of the large low-sulphidation epithermal vein system developed along the western margin of the northern Cortez Range. The range-front vein system is a zone of multi-event, silica-healed, hydrothermal breccias. Portions of the veins display minor repetitive banding, coarsely-bladed calcite, and quartz pseudomorphs of the calcite, that typically represent boiling of hydrothermal fluids and deposition levels of gold. Limited historic drilling revealed some vein thicknesses from 10 metres (30ft) to 55 metres (180ft).

The Company has signed a three-year option agreement with Nevada Gold Ventures, LLC ("Nevada Gold"), whereby the Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Crescent Valley Property by completing the following cash payments and share issuances to Nevada Gold and incurring the following exploration expenditures on the property:

e) On or before the third anniversary of TSX-V approval, spend an additional US$200,000 in work commitments and issue an additional 150,000 common shares;

Nevada Gold will retain a 3% Net Smelter Return Royalty ("NSR") on any mineral products derived from the Crescent Valley Property.
