NEWS RELEASE

American Pacific Mining Acquires the Historic Past-Producing Gooseberry Gold Project

in Nevada, USA

VANCOUVER—April 23, 2019—American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD / FWB: 1QC / OTCPK: USGDF) (“APM” or

the “Company”) has staked the historic gold and silver Gooseberry Mine in Storey County Nevada, USA. The

property was staked for a total of USD$20,000 and includes 42 unpate nted claims encompassing the prospective

708 acre property.

• American Pacific acquires through

staking the historic Gooseberry Mine in

Storey Nevada

• At a cost of USD$20,000, the gold and

silver project includes 42 unpatented

claims, totaling approximately 708 acres

• Next steps include data review, sampling

and eventual drilling

Eric Saderholm, APM’s President, commented:

“The Gooseberry Project is a low sulphidation,

epithermal system with high -grade gold and

silver mineralization hosted in quartz carbonate veins. T he project was intermittently productive over the last

century, and it’s our belief that there is a lot of exploration potential remaining over the project area . When the

last operators were mining at Gooseberry, gold was only $353 dollars per ounce, so little exploration was taking

place. I look forward to reviewing the historic data and starting the 2019 sampling programs as soon as possible.”

“Gooseberry fits the American Pacific model of cost-effective acquisitions in the Western USA with a focus on high-

grade precious metal properties,” said Warwick Smith, APM’s CEO. “OceanaGold is now earning-in at our Tuscarora

project and has committed to spending USD$650,000 over the next 12 months — combine this with the acquisition

of a previous gold producer, the Company should have an exciting year ahead.”

Sporadic hard rock gold and silver mining took place at Gooseberry Mine between 1906-1991, with little to no

exploration occurring beneath the lower levels of the underground mine. The Ramsey district, where the project is

located, also remains under-explored compared to many other areas of Nevada. Infrastructure includes power to

the area, main highways and some roads through the project which may need minor rehabilitation.
