Advance United Holdings (AUHI) Acquires Additional Land

Expanding Buck Lake Property to Over 4,100 Acres

Highlights

• Assessment of past work and government geological investigations indicates at least

three (3) high potential zones which extend beyond the previously existing claims.

• Fifty-three (53) new and additional claims encompass these high potential zones and

increase the Buck Lake Property to 4,100 acres in size.

• The new property area includes similar geological units to those seen on the original

Buck Lake Property which typically fall into the category of Volcanic Massive Sulphides

(VMS).

Toronto, Ontario – (October 21, 2021) – Advance United Holdings Inc. (CSE: AUHI) (FSE: 9I0)

(the "Company" or "Advance United") is pleased to report that based on the results of known

and potential geological extensions of favorable geology the Buck Lake Property has been

expanded by the addition of fifty (53) additional claims.

The claims have been added in two general areas north and west of the existing property

(Figure 1). These cover extensions of potential VMS structures identified in the assessment of

past work in the area.

An analysis of past work combined with government geological mapping indicated that there

are additional areas hosting massive sulphide units similar to those found in the drilling on the

Buck Lake Property. A Report by the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) titled “Ontario Geological

Survey Open File Report 6354 Report of Activities, 2018 Resident Geologist Program Timmins

Regional Resident Geologist Report: Timmins and Sault Ste. Marie Districts Recommendations

for Exploration VMS Targets in Lunkie Township and the Batchawana Greenstone Belt”

indicated the potential of the areas acquired, and copper and zinc rich samples were collected

by OGS staff from the area and referenced in the above report.

To the north of the Buck Lake Property, a series of trenches in the Private Lake North

occurrence uncovered two zones which are described as containing massive sulphide beds with

copper mineralization while an airborne Electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic survey to the west

of Buck Lake identified a 2 km long anomaly that appears, from government mapping, to be

comprised of massive sulphide in iron formation. Neither of these areas has reported copper or

gold assays.

“We are excited by the potential of the extended Buck Lake property. Our work crews are

currently completing the program at Buck Lake and will move to a program of geological

mapping, prospecting, and sampling on the new claims. We are preparing our work program to

include these new areas and will be completing follow-up work in 2022.” Advance United CEO

Jim Atkinson said. “This demonstrates the purpose and value behind our business model to re-

work existing data in known areas that supports, documents the potential, and allows us to

increase quantifiable resources and reserves using current standards and modern technology,

thereby increasing the value of the property and overall value of our portfolio of properties.”

About the Buck Lake Property

The Buck Lake Property lies in the Batchawana Greenstone Belt within the Abitibi Subprovince

of the Canadian Shield. The Abitibi Subprovince is known to host many VMS type of deposits

including Glencore’s Kid Creek Mine, the deepest base metal mine in the world.

Geologically the Buck Lake Property overlies the contact between mafic and felsic volcanics, a

classic Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) target. An EM anomaly identified trending North-South

across the property, appears to be associated with the contact between felsic and mafic

volcanic units.

A previous drillhole conducted by Noranda Exploration in 1987 along the Electromagnetic (EM)

anomaly intersected two (2) zones of massive sulphide mineralization of 4.88 m and 4.72 m in

thickness (as reported in the MNDM Assessment Report).

Both massive sulphide zones were described as containing copper and zinc mineralization

although assays were not included in the available Assessment Report. Rock sampling during a

soil geochemical program completed in 2017 identified copper mineralization in the form of

chalcopyrite in rocks adjacent to the EM anomaly. A reconnaissance soil sampling program

2017 identified a 2,000-metre-long copper and zinc anomaly associated with the contact and

the EM anomaly.

The newly acquired claims contain similar geology and mineral occurrences which have not

been systematically explored.

Qualified Person

James Atkinson M.Sc., P. Geo., a Qualified Person ("QP") as such term is defined by National

Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved

the geological information reported in this news release. The Qualified Person has not

completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Buck Lake Property,

particularly with regards to historical sampling and regional government-mapped geology. He

did however supervise the soil and rock sampling program carried out on the property in 2017.

The Qualified Person assumes that sampling and analytical results were completed to industry

standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the

Buck Lake Property but may not be representative of expected results.

Exchange in Canada under the symbol "AUHI" and the Börse Frankfurt Stock Exchange in

Germany under the symbol "9I0".

We are a different kind of Canadian junior mining company, one designed to succeed where

other junior mining companies fail. We are involved exclusively in the acquisition and

advancement of past projects - with no intent to bring them back into production or to mine

them ourselves. Our expertise is in identifying and acquiring undervalued properties with

significant historical work, which were uneconomic at the time, but we believe have economic

value at today's prices.

We fund the development of re-working historic data and applying modern technology to

underwrite new qualified reports, document quantifiable resources and reserves to current

standards, thereby recognizing the current value.

Our purpose is to bring immediate and long-term value to our partners and shareholders while

seeking to eliminate exploration risk, so that we can all advance united in the shortest possible

time frame.
