DEEPROCK MINERALS EXPANDS LAND PACKAGE IN NEW BRUNSWICK

VANCOUVER, CANADA, July 22, 2021 – DeepRock Minerals Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE: “DEEP”),

is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement with Gerard Roy and Rose Hannan

(together the “Optionor”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Lugar Property (the “Property”), a 2,800

hectare (28.0 km²) mineral claim package comprising 112 contiguous claim blocks that adjoin and

surround the northern border of the Company’s Falls Grid Property (and together herein known as the

“Golden Gate Project”).

Within an area long known to be prospective for its mineral exploration potential the Lugar Property

covers areas both North and East of the Company’s Falls Grid Property which was optioned in June 2019.

The expanded land package spans multiple converging major geological contacts and fault zones that are

related and on structural trend with similar formations that host both former producing mines and

commercial deposits now under development both west and southwest of the project area.

Four known gold occurrences have been reported on the Lugar Property. The primary target area lies in

the Property’s southeastern section, which is an east-northeast extension to the Company’s targeted gold

zone on the Falls Grid Property. Reported interpretations of earlier airborne and ground-based

geophysical surveys appear to confirm earlier exploration work which included prospecting and shallow

diamond drilling that encountered multiple sulphide mineralized intercepts. With its southwestern extents

lying within the original Falls Grid Property, this contact zone has been shown to trend NE for a distance

exceeding 5 kms.

Additionally, the Lugar Property’s secondary target area hosts Ordovician granite intrusions along the

northern boundary that have been mapped over a distance of 7.0+ kms, and where within the Property a

series of gold geochemical anomalies have been reported from soil, quartz vein and float sampling. This

area lies parallel and south of the known gold-hosting Nicolas Denys granite.

DeepRock’s option to acquire a 100% right, title and ownership interest in the Property over a 4 year

period consist of $120,000 in total cash payments, and an accumulative expenditure of $225,000 in

exploration work, and including a retained 1.25% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) in accordance with the

following schedule (all dollar amounts in Canadian Dollars):

i. $5,000 cash payment to the Vendor within 5 days of the agreement’s execution date (paid),

ii. Before the 1st Anniversary - $10,000 cash payment to the Vendor and $25,000 minimum work,

iii. Before the 2nd Anniversary - $25,000 cash payment to Vendor and $25,000 minimum work,

iv. Before the 3rd Anniversary - $35,000 cash payment to Vendor and $75,000 minimum work,

v. Before the 4th Anniversary - $45,000 cash payment to the vendor and $100,000 minimum work,

NOTE: There are no third-party finder fees applicable to the above. The Company has the right to

purchase 0.5% of the NSR for $1,000,000 and the remaining 0.75% of NSR under terms to be negotiated

with the Optionor.
