PURE GOLD MINING COVID-19 RESPONSE MEASURES

Pure Gold Mining Inc. is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and has implemented preventative measures at both the Pure Gold Red Lake mine site as well as corporate offices to safeguard the health of its employees, while continuing to operate effectively and responsibly in its communities.

Development activities at the Pure Gold Red Lake mine continue to operate normally, with no significant impact to date beyond the implementation of additional education and safety measures. At this time, the development schedule is on track, and first gold production is anticipated in late 2020.

Some of the measures being put into place include:

• Implementing work-from-home practices, where possible, including continuing detailed engineering work for the mine's development;
• Reducing in-person meetings and transitioning to teleconferencing, where possible, as well as restricting large gatherings;
• Implementing enhanced cleaning and disinfecting protocols;
• Promoting personal preventative measures, such as frequent washing of hands, and increasing awareness of social-distancing practices;
• Screening all contractors and external visitors to site for risk factors and symptoms, as well as returning employees on shift change;
• Requiring employees who show symptoms, or are in close contact with someone with symptoms, to stay home from work;
• Suspension of all international travel and requiring employees returning from travel outside of Canada to self-isolate for the government-recommended 14-day self-quarantine period.

"Ensuring the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate is our highest priority," said Darin Labrenz, president and chief executive officer. "Though there have been no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 in Red Lake, we are implementing various precautionary measures aimed at reducing the risk of transmission and enabling our development and construction activities to continue as efficiently as possible."

Pure Gold will continue to closely monitor the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation and will adjust its plans as necessary, with the primary focus being the health/safety of employees. The company is following the COVID-19 safety guidelines outlined by the government of Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, as well as the provincial governments of Ontario and British Columbia, and will provide updates to the market, as appropriate.
