A.I.S. Resources Signs Binding LOI to Acquire the

Toolleen-Fosterville Gold Project EL006001

Vancouver, British Columbia August 24, 2020 – A.I.S. Resources Ltd. (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF)

(“AIS” or the “Company”) announces that on August 24th, 2020 the Company entered into a

Binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Providence Gold and Minerals Pty Ltd (“PGM”), to acquire

the Toolleen-Fosterville Gold project (the “Project”) located 3 km from the township of

Toolleen and 12 km from the Kirkland Lake Fosterville gold mine. The Project is situated on

freehold land and has no native title claim.

Fig 1 – The newly announced 26 sq. km. Toolleen-Fosterville Project shown in yellow is conveniently located

only 42 miles from Bendigo, and 12 km from the 7.58 Moz Au Fosterville Gold Mine.

Close to the 7.58Moz. Gold Fosterville Mine

AIS President & CEO, Phillip Thomas commented, “With the Toolleen-Fosterville Project’s close

proximity to the 7.58 Moz. gold Fosterville Mine (Kirkland Lake Gold–KL-NYSE) we are in good

company. To be able to acquire a property with an open cut mine, free gold on the surface,

substantial geological work and evidence of quartz augurs well. Other explorers around our

new project include: Fosterville South Exploration (FSX-V), Nubian Resources (NBR-V), Catalyst

Metals (CYL-AX), and Petratherm Limited (PTR-AX). The Project area, which is adjacent to the

recently lifted exploration moratorium area, is located within the Bendigo-Ballarat Zone of the

Palaeozoic Lachlan Fold Belt of eastern Australia and the greenstone corridor running north

south. The gravity survey shows highly prospective areas. The experience at Fosterville and

Bendigo suggests that the shallow gold mineralisation may be indicative of high-grade shoots

that can be mined by underground methods. This exploration project is a perfect addition to

the AIS Resources’ more advanced exploration stage Yalgogrin Gold Project. The Company is

finalizing definitive agreements for the Yalgogrin and Toolleen-Fosterville Gold Projects and is

looking forward to executing its exploration plans in Australia.”

Toolleen-Fosterville Project Acquisition Terms

Under the terms of the LOI, AIS Resources will acquire 100% interest in the Project, by paying

AU$375,000 (CAD$356,250) and issuing AIS shares equal to AU$375,000 (CA$356,250) to the

Vendor, PGM. A 1% NSR is payable on all gold production. The Acquisition is expected to occur

by September 14, 2020 and is subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals and all conditions

having been satisfied or waived with respect to the terms of the LOI including the approval of

the TSX Venture Exchange.

The vendor’s geologist, Dr. Rodney Boucher, a pre-eminent Geologist with over 25 years

experience in central Victoria geology will be assisting in the handover and future work on the

Project. Several prospectors have been on the EL tenement ground and surrounding tenements

and have recovered surface gold.

Local Geology Prospective for Gold Deposits

The Toolleen Gold Zone was mined underground until 1957 with a reported 7,000 tonnes @

10g/t Au being produced from the top 60 metres. Willman (2007) showed that the best

mineralisation at both Bendigo and Castlemaine was found a few kilometres into the hanging

walls of major faults thus, these areas of shallow cover are both prospective and easy to

3 | P a g e

explore. PGM had previously discovered the Four Eagles project operated now by Catalyst Metals in the

hanging wall in a similar position. The Mt William Fault transects the tenement in a north-west

south-east direction.

Fig 4 (L) – Gold nuggets recovered from one of the farms on EL6001 • Fig 5 (R) – Angular reef quartz and rounded

glacial quartz scree of Permian glacial origin.

The Lachlan fold belt has been subdivided into eight zones based on age, rock types and

structural history (Grey, 1988). The Permian glaciation is evidenced by small subsurface and

locally outcropping occurrences of glacigene sediments that provide evidence of the glaciation.

This occurred in eastern Australia during the lower Permian affecting the Toolleen area. Fluvio-

glacial and glacial sediments crop out poorly and tend to be preserved in down faulted blocks or

have been reworked into younger deposits. EL006001 is east of the Mt William fault.

Fluvial sediments have reworked Palaeozoic reef quartz and gold along with Permian glacial clasts into

ancient rivers that criss-cross the tenement during the Cenozoic. Fosterville is unique in the region as

it represents a large North striking West dipping fault reef up to 20 metres wide and eight

kilometres long hosting rich gold reefs with finely disseminated gold. . Fosterville was attractive

due to the arsenopyrite-hosted, fine disseminated folding (even though it wasn’t unique with similar

mineralisation at Nagambie & Bailieston and even in small parts of Bendigo and Daylesford), but has

become famous for the abundant nuggetty gold.

At the deposit scale, high-angle secondary reverse faults and dilational cross structures served as

conduits for the mineralising fluids. In addition to the fault-controlled mineralisation, where

4 | P a g e

accommodation occurs at the apexes of tight fold hinges, mineralisation can occur as stacked ‘saddle’ or

‘trough’ reefs as commonly seen within the Bendigo area.
