VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT AWARDS BLOCKS 1,2,3 ADJACENT TO A.I.S. RESOURCES

FOSTERVILLE TOOLLEEN GOLD PROJECT TO KIRKLAND LAKE WITH $90 MILLION BUDGET

Vancouver, British Columbia November 2, 2021– A.I.S. Resources Limited ( TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF ) (the

“Company” or “AIS”) announces that Kirkland Lake Limited (TSX:KL) has won the tender issued by Earth

Resources Victoria through the Department of Jobs Precincts and Regions. The tender was won on a

commitment to spend up to $90 million on the three blocks it won. Kirkland Lake’s block 3 (EL007794) is

adjacent to A.I.S. Resources EL006001 Fosterville-Toolleen project.

Across the three blocks for which it was the successful tenderer, Fosterville Gold Mine will spend more than

$90 million over a five-year period. The successful tenderers will now progress through to the licensing

stage, which includes a 21-day period for the public to make submissions regarding the licence applications.

The tender opportunity was offered to experienced minerals explorers who could demonstrate a history of

responsible exploration and a commitment to working closely with Traditional Owners, local stakeholders,

and communities. It attracted a strong response with tenders received from a competitive field.

Martyn Element, Chairman of AIS stated, “With almost $20 million being spent per year in the next 5 years

exploring neighbouring properties AIS looks forward to its own drilling and ground work being done in the

immediate future to further progess the Company’s exciting Fosterville Toolleen Gold Project.”
