About Element79 Gold

Element79 Gold is a mining company f ocused on gold, silver and associated metals. Element79

Gold’s main focus is on two core properties: developing its previously-producing, high-grade gold

and silver mine, the Lucero project located in Arequipa, Peru, with the intent to bring it back into

production in the near term; and its flagship Maverick Springs Project located in the famous gold

mining district of northeastern Nevada, USA, between the Elko and White Pine Counties.

Maverick Springs hosts a 43-101-compliant, pit-constrained mineral resource estimate reflecting

an inferred resource of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent “AuEq” at a grade of 0.92 g/t AuEq

(0.34 g/t Au and 43.4 g/t Ag) with an effective date of Oct. 19, 2022 (see news release October

20, 2022, available on SEDAR). The acquisition of the Maverick Springs Project also included a

portfolio of 15 properties along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada, which are non- core to its

primary business focus. In British Columbia, Element79 Gold has executed a Letter of Intent and

funded a drilling program to acquire a private company which holds the option to 100% interest

of the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project, which consists of 10 mineral claims located in Central

British Columbia, approximately 20km west of Fort St. James. The Company also has an option to

acquire a 100% interest in the Dale Property, 90 unpatented mining claims located approximately

100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, Canada in the Timmins Mining Division, Dale Township.

The Company is analyzing the non- core Nevad a projects, The Dale Property and Snowbird

Property for further merit of exploration, sale or spin -out. For more information about the
