Argo Gold Expands Exploration at the Uchi Gold Project

Toronto, CANADA, September 9, 2020 – Argo Gold Inc. (“Argo Gold” or the “Company”) (CSE: ARQ)

has expanded its surface stripping and washing exploration program at the Uchi Gold Project. Fieldwork

to da te has included stripping and washing areas of kn own mineralization - Woco, Northgate, and

Raingold - and prospecting over a nomalies identified in the Summer 2019 Biogeochemistry Survey.

Prospecting a biogeochemistry an omaly has identified siliceous tourmaline alteration in outcrop 175

metres south of Woco. S iliceous tourmaline alteration occurs in the footwall of the high-grade Woco

vein where the currently known sur face expression is 70 metres. Argo Gold is currently planning a

second drill program to test a number of targets indicated by the 2019 and 2020 exploration programs.

Argo Gold’s first drill program in Winter 2019 intersected high-grade gold at both the Woco Vein and the

Northgate She ar Zone. The Woco Vein and the Northgate Shear Zone are 2 kilometres apart on a 5

kilometre mineralized trend that is considered highly pro spective. The Summer 2019 Biogeochem istry

Survey covered the main miner alized trend and identified multiple high priority anomalies proximal to

the hig h-grade Woco vein and also identified additional new anomalies along the 5 kilometre strike

length of th e main mineralized trend; (Argo Gold PR, October 28 2019). West of the mai n mineralized

trend, another mineralized trend – the HST Zone and the Raingold vein system - was sampled in the

Summer 2019 field program and returned anomalous gold assays over 600 metres of strike length. One

of the continuous chips of five samples assayed 14.5 g/t Au across 2.6 metres at Raingold. (Argo Gold

PR, November 6 2019).

Argo Gold is pleased to announce that Josh Pelletier, MSc, P.Geo and SEG fellow has joined the company.
