SHOWCASE ANNOUNCES BOND PERMITTING IS UNDERWAY FOR AN EXPLORATION DRILL PROGRAM AT THE DIXIE FLATS-NORTHSTAR PROJECT, NEVADA

Showcase Minerals Inc. has submitted a notice of intent permit drafted by Nexus Environmental Consultants to the Bureau of Land Management to conduct exploration drilling at its Dixie Flats-North Star property located in Elko county, Nevada. A total of 12 drill holes are planned for 11,985 feet in length. Angled drilling will target areas of interest from five drill pads, minimizing disturbance and reducing costs of both drilling and reclamation.

The drill targets have been identified using analysis of 53 historic drill holes, localized geologic mapping, surface sampling controlled-source audio-magnetotelluric (CSAMT) surveys, seismic and gravity surveys. A clear trend of mineralization near to historic drilling has been identified which aligns with the regional trend of mineralization of the Rain mine to the northwest and the Dark Star deposit approximately 1.5 miles south of the southwest end of the Dixie Flats-North Star claim block. This drill program is designed to expand the known orebody near previous high-grade intercepts and then extend the orebody along strike of identified structures.

About the Dixie Flats-North Star gold project

The Dixie Flats-North Star property is located on the east side of the Pinon Mountains, 21 air-miles south of the city of Elko in northeast Nevada. It is a combination of two claim blocks, the Dixie Flats group of claims and the North Star group of claims. The property comprises a total of 236 total unpatented mineral claims on federal land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The property lies on the southern margin of the Carlin trend, a northwest-trending belt of sediment-hosted gold deposits that makes up the greatest geographic concentration of gold deposits in North America, with reported production of more than 92.5 million ounces of gold since 1961. The Dixie Flats-North Star property is underlain by rocks known to host gold mineralization on the Carlin trend, and surface sampling has shown anomalous gold, silver, arsenic, antimony and mercury levels in rock, soil and biogeochemical samples from the property, which is a characteristic geochemical signature of Carlin-type gold deposits.

Dixie Flats-North Star is approximately three miles south of Newmont Mining Company's Emigrant Springs mine, which finished production in 2018, and approximately 4.5 miles southeast of the past-producing Rain mine. Both deposits are hosted in dissolution breccia zones at the contact between the Webb mudstone, the basal unit of the overlying assemblage, and the underlying Devils Gate limestone. Prior exploration on the Dixie Flats-North Star property has been focused on delineating this contact at depth and discovering possible extensions to the regional structures controlling mineralization at the Rain and Emigrant mines and their demonstrated extension to the Dixie Flats-North Star property. The information on the adjacent projects is taken from publicly available sources and is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Dixie Flats-North Star property.

Additional information on the Dixie Flats-North Star Gold Project can be found in the National Instrument 43-101 technical report entitled "Technical Report on the Dixie Flats-North Star Gold Exploration Property," Elko, Nev., dated Sept. 21, 2022, which has been filed on SEDAR+.
