Advance United Holdings Inc. Shareholder Update June 29, 2023
Toronto, Ontario–(June 29, 2023) – Advance United Holdings Inc. (CSE: AUHI) ( OTCBQ: AUHIF)
(FSE: 9I0) (the “Company” or “Advance United”) is pleased to announce a shareholders update.
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to provide you with an update on the company's progress and recent
developments.
Property Summary:
The company completed exploration work on four of our properties in 2022.
Drilling and surface sampling at Buck Lake copper property were successful in identifying a zone
of High-grade copper mineralization in a 500 m long massive sulphide deposit (see Press Release
dated December 20, 2022). The deposit is open at both ends and down dip. Our success at Buck
Lake motivated us to expand the property to over 4 ,000 Ha (9600 acres) to cover similar
occurrences of copper and zinc and to include other areas potentially indicative of sim ilar
mineralization. Past work in the newly acquired areas has discovered copper and zinc
mineralization and has pointed out the presence of o ver 20 prospective anomalies (AFRI File
Number 41N01NE0226, 20006965). Follow-up work is planned for the in the newly acquired areas
will include mapping, sampling and stripping to expose the anomalous areas.
Drilling at the Melba gold property in the Kirkland Lake area confirmed the presence of high-grade
gold in the known veins but even more significantly discovered a new type of gold mineralization
never before explored (or even identified) on the property. The new style of mineralization is
typified by highly anomalous gold values associated with disseminated pyrite in porphyry dike s
that cross the property (see Press Release dated March 2023 – drill hole MEL -22-05 or 06 are
examples). Further mapping and sampling of these new gold occurrences followed by drilling is
indicated We are excited to explore this type of mineralization as it has potential for large tonnage
deposits.
Noteworthy, Kirkland Lake Discoveries (formerly Warrior Gold) whose property adjoins Melba to
the east has announced a large exploration program on their property and are in the process of
raising $7.8M (press release dated May 24th) and a significant airborne geophysical study of the
area (press release (press release dated June 8th). The reader is cautioned that while this points
to the potential of the area the results found on adjacent properties may not be extended onto
the Melba Property.
Compilation of assessment work, prospecting and sampling at the Doyle Gold Property has been
carried out . A recent LiDAR survey over the property assisted our geological staff to identify
several large structures associated with the known gold occurrences. The identified structures
show great promise for hosting further gold mineralization and will be explored in the summer of
2023. The main features correspond to known gold mineralization in a drill hole , completed by
Tri Origin Exploration in 1995. Hole T95-34 intersected banded pyrite in sheared felsic tuffs over
a 12.0 metre interval that contained visible gold and returned an assay of 10,457 ppb gold (0.34
troy oz/t) from the 312.0 to 313.0 metres.
Further to our press release dated May 23, 2023, described an exciting new development at the
Paint Lake Road JV. Airborne surveys carried out by Bold Ventures on their property to the north
has indicated a large shear zone that crosses their property and enters the central area of the PLR
JV property. Some indications suggest that this structure continues to the Mishi Open Pit of
Wesdome Mines approximately 5 km to the east. Furthermore, several of their magnetic and EM
anomalies continue onto the southern part of the PLR JV Property. The anomalies discovered on
Bold’s Property have been described as “prospective for gold mineralization” by their consulting
geophysicist. Advance United completed a ground EM survey in 2022 which also identified
anomalies in the northern part of the property.
Property Expansion
We have continued to focus on expanding our property portfolio and entering new partnerships.
As previously mentioned, knowledge gained at our existing properties has been used to expand
our properties. In additi on, research efforts have resulted in identification of two properties in
South Carolina which are being examined for acquisition. To this end Advance United contracted
a regional compilation around one of the properties to identify possible expansion opportunities.
We look forward to reporting back on these opportunities.
Operational Changes and Increased Efficiencies
Efficiency and optimization remain key priorities for our company. We have implemented various
operational initiatives aimed at streamlining processes, reducing costs, and improving overall
productivity.
One of the main efforts in this area was the hirin g of an Exploration Manager. He has extensive
experience in First Nations consultation. Project management and government liaison and has
been very helpful in alleviating some of the workload from the CEO as well as coordinating the
field activities of our staff.
The Board has recommended the Mr. Kevin Wright, who has resigned as a director of AUHI and
accepted appointment to lead the continued development of the Au Marketplace and technology
platform. Subject to Exchange approval, the Company intends to spin out the technology platform
into a subsidiary, Minebanq Inc. We look forward to continuing to keep our shareholders informed
of the developments of the spin out in the coming weeks.
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility
We recognize the importance of sustainability and corporate social responsibility in today's
business landscape. We have made significant strides in our sustainability initiatives, including
reducing our carbon footprint, implementing environmentally friendly practices, and promoting
diversity and inclusion within our organization , including our second female prospector, Ashley,
which traditionally has been a male dominated role. She has been very successful in identifying
prospective areas on our Buck Lake Property in a previously unexplored and unknown area. This
exciting discovery will be explored in our upcoming work program.
Secondly, we have a plan in place to reseed and revegetated the areas disrupted during our
activities at Buck Lake. Consultation with the local First Nations has allowed us to identify relevant
plant species for this Effort. We remain committed to making a positive impact on the
environment and society as a whole.
Outlook and Future Plans
Looking ahead, we are very optimistic ab out the company's future. We anticipate continued
growth in our core portfolio through exploration and plan to explore new opportunities for
expansion. Our focus will remain on exploration innovation, stakeholder returns, and operational
excellence.
We recently announced a non-brokered financing private placement through the issuance of up
to 5,000,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.05 per Unit and up to 6,666,666 flow -through
units (each, a "FT Unit") at a price of $0.075 per FT Unit for aggrega te gross proceeds of up to
$750,000 (the "Offering"), see press release dated June 6, and invite all shareholders to consider
participating.
We would like to express our gratitude to our shareholders for their continued support and
confidence in our company. We remain committed to delivering value and sustainable growth
through our mineral exploration and project acquisition activities. As always, we encourage you
to actively engage with us and provide feedback.
Thank you for your continued support and trust.

About Advance United Holdings
Advance United brings an entirely different approach to the mining industry. We don’t mine.
Rather, we’ve acquired a portfolio of undervalued gold properties and are increasing their value
through the application of modern technology. We have a growing pipeline of similar properties
that we are looking to acquire. And now we’ve launched the Au Marketplace. A first of its kind
digital platform that connects owners of mineral commodities and deposits with developers and
producers.
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.

the Au Marketplace, visit www.advanceunited.ca.
