Getchell Gold Corp. Provides an Exploration Update on the Company’s Nevada Projects

Toronto, Ontario – September 16, 2021 – Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) ("Getchell"

o r t h e " C o m p a n y " ) is pleased to provide an exploration update on the ongoing dri ll program at the

Fondaway Canyon Gold project and the forthcoming drill program at the prospective high-grade Copper-

Gold-Silver Star project.

Key Highlights

Fondaway Canyon Gold Project

x Hole FCG21-11 has commenced and is a down-dip step-out of the o utstanding Colorado SW and

Juniper gold intercepts recently announced from hole FCG21-08;

x Two drill holes, FCG21-09 and FCG21-10, that targeted the North Fork Zone discovery, have been

completed and sent to the lab for assay; and

x Two new drill pads have been constructed to allow further targeting and expansion of the Colorado

SW and the North Fork gold zones.

Star Copper-Gold-Silver Project

x The maiden drill program is scheduled to commence by early October;

x The drill program will target geophysical anomalies associated with the Star Point and Star South

highly mineralized surface occurrences; and

x Drill pad construction has now been completed.

Fondaway Canyon 2021 Drill Program Update

Four drill holes, FCG21-07 through FCG21-10, totaling 1,752.5 m etres have been drilled this year at the

Fondaway Canyon Gold Project. All four holes are in the Centra l A r e a a n d a r e f o l l o w i n g u p o n t h e

discovery of the Colorado SW, the Juniper, and the North Fork gold zones during the 2020 drill program.

The first two holes drilled in 2021, FCG21-07 and FCG21-08, sta tioned at the Colorado Pit and drilled to

the southwest, returned highly remarkable gold intercepts (see Table 1 below and Company news releases

dated Aug. 10 and Aug. 25, 2021).

Hole FCG21-08 intersected the Colorado SW Zone for over 200 met res and the high-grade Juniper Zone

returned 4.7 g/t Au over 25.9m, that included 11.4 g/t Au over 5.5m, within 100 metres of the surface.

The highly successful drill hole FCG21-08 represents the seventh consecutive hole in the Central Area that

has intersected substantive gold mineralization by the Company.

In 2020, drill hole FCG20-04 stationed 300 metres to the southe ast discovered a thick mineralized body,

newly identified as the North Fork Gold Zone, that extended to the bottom of the hole. Figure 1 highlights

the notable gold intercepts within the North Fork broad zone of mineralization (see Company news

release dated Feb. 10, 2021).

Two 2021 drill holes, FCG21-09 and FCG21-10, that targeted the North Fork Zone above and below FCG20-

04’s gold intercepts (Figure 1), have been completed and sent to the analytical lab for assay. Due to drilling

issues, hole FCG21-09 was stopped prior to reaching planned depth.

The drill has relocated back to the Colorado Pit with the objec tive of hole FCG21-11 to expand upon the

Colorado SW and Juniper gold zones. To assist with further def inition along strike and down dip of the

Colorado SW and North Fork discoveries, two additional pads have been constructed. These two pads, in

conjunction with the existing drill pads, provide ample angles of attack for the foreseeable future.

Star Copper-Gold-Silver 2021 Drill Program Update

In preparation of the maiden drill program at the Star Copper-G old-Silver project located 60 km to the

north of Fondaway Canyon, three drill pads have been constructed.

Two drill pads have been constructed to target geophysical anomalies associated with the Star Point and

Star South highly mineralized surface occurrences, located 4 km distant from one another. One additional

pad has been constructed 1.5 km to the west of Star South to ta rget a strong geophysical anomaly not

directly related to a surface showing due a continuous blanket of sediments covering the target area.

It is anticipated that the drill program at Star will commence at the start of October. It is likely that two

of the three geophysical targets will be drilled during this ca mpaign to allow the drill sufficient time to

return to Fondaway Canyon and complete additional holes before the end of the 2021 drill season.

The 2021 drill core is being processed using the same methods as the 2020 drill program. The core is cut

at Bureau Veritas Laboratories’ (“BVL”) facilities in Sparks, N evada, with the samples analyzed for gold

and multi-element analysis in BVL’s Sparks, Nevada and Vancouve r, BC laboratories respectively. Gold

values are produced by fire assay with an Atomic Absorption finish on a 30-gram sample (BV code FA430)

with over limits re-analyzed using method FA530 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish). The multi-

element analyses are performed by ICP-MS following aqua regia d igestion on a 30g sample (BV code

AQ250). Quality control measures in the field include the systematic insertion of standards and blanks.
