Golden Independence Completes Phase One Exploration Program at Napoleon Project

Exploration Programs

Golden Independence Completes Phase One

Exploration Program at Napoleon Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2023) - Golden Independence Mining Corp.

(CSE: IGLD) (OTCQB: GIDMF) (FSE: 6NNA) (the "

Company

" or "

Golden Independence

") is pleased

to announce the completion of the first phase exploration program at the Napoleon project located in the

Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia. The exploration program was completed by Tripoint

Geological Services during June and was comprised of rock sampling and prospecting. A total of 13

rock samples were collected and submitted to ALS Global for assaying with results expected over the

coming weeks.

In the southern portion of the Napoleon claims, the prospecting program at Napoleon located similar

intrusive to those hosting the Bonaparte deposit, along with vuugy quartz veins hosted in Nicola Group

rocks in the north, which represents a second potential host of mineralization.

"The initial exploration program met with overall success," commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Golden

Independence. "Particularly, the observation of similar geology and mineralization to that of the high-

grade Bonaparte mine to the southeast is highly encouraging and we await assay results to both confirm

observations and guide the next stage of exploration at the project."

In the southern portion of the claims closest to the Bonaparte mine, prevalent subcrop of quartz diorite

occurs hosting up to 5% disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite which appears genetically similar to that

observed at the Bonaparte mine. The Company will be reviewing the subsequent phase of exploration

following the receipt of assay results.

About the Napoleon Project

The Napoleon property occurs along the same northwest trending erosional exposure through Chilcotin

basalts as the Bonaparte Mine. The Bonaparte Mine, located to the southeast, is comprised of several

en echelon high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins with similar intrusive rocks mapped within the Napoleon

property. Exploration within the region dates back to the 1970's and 1980's with the discovery of gold

mineralization in several clusters of quartz vein float material over a diorite intrusion with grades varying

from 3.4 to 547 g/t gold

1

. The adjoining Bonaparte deposit has been extensively explored including

underground development, open pit mining, and a bulk sampling which yielded grades of 26.5 g/t gold

from a 3,700 metric tonne bulk sample

.

Golden Independence cautions investors it has yet to verify the historical information and further cautions

mineralization on the Bonaparte deposit is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the

Napoleon Gold Project.

stage Independence project located adjacent to Nevada Gold Mine's Phoenix-Fortitude mine in the

Battle Mountain-Cortez Trend of Nevada in addition to the wholly owned Napoleon gold project located in

the Kamloops Mining Division of BC and Yukon gold claims in the Watson Lake district of the Yukon.

The Independence project hosts an M&I resource of 334,300 ounces of gold and an Inferred resource of

847,000 ounces of gold with a substantial silver credit. A 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment

(PEA) outlined a low-cost heap leach operation focusing on the near-surface resource with total

production of 195,443 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of US$1,078 per ounce of gold. The

Napoleon project is comprised of over 1,000 hectares and prospective for multiple forms of gold

mineralization, with exploration in the area dating back to the 1970's with the discovery of high-grade

gold. The Yukon gold projects are comprised of almost 8,000 hectares of quartz claims prospective for

high-grade gold mineralization with historical grab sampling highlights of 144 g/t gold.
