NEWS RELEASE

INDEPENDENCE GOLD EXPANDS 3TS PROJECT WITH STRATEGIC MINERAL CLAIMS

ACQUISITION

Vancouver, BC – (March 31, 2025) – Independence Gold Corp. (TSX-V: IGO) ("Independence Gold" or the

"Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of seventeen additional mineral claims covering an

area of 28,100 hectares (“ha”), significantly expanding its 3Ts Project (“3Ts”) in central British Columbia.

The 3Ts Project is located approximately 185 kilometres (“km”) southwest of Prince George, British

Columbia and is now comprised of thirty-one mineral claims covering approximately 35,486 ha in the

Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. The project is situated 16 km southwest of Artemis

Gold Inc.’s Blackwater Mine and covers a low -sulphidation epithermal quartz - carbonate vein district

within which nineteen individu al mineralized veins, ranging from 50 m to more than 1,100 m in strike

length and with true widths up to 32 m have been identified.

The newly acquired claims encompass ground underlain by Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks, which

is the same geological setting that hosts the known mineralized veins at 3Ts. A comprehensive review of

historical geochemical data has identified anomalous gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc concentrations in

sediment samples. Many of these geochemical anom alies correspond with structural features identified

in historical geophysical surveys, displaying characteristics similar to the mineralized host struct ures

within the existing 3Ts Project.

The prevailing geological model for the 3Ts region suggests that upwelling magma created dome-like

surface features. As these magma bodies deflated, arcuate fault structures formed around their

peripheries, providing key fluid pathways for mineral deposition. These structural controls are believed

to be fundamental in the formation of the high-grade gold-silver veins at 3Ts and will serve as a primary

exploration focus for the newly acquired ground. Independence Gold is planning an exploration program

for the summer that will include airborne geophysics, detailed mapping and prospecting to identify high-

priority target zones.
