Canagold Drills 22.1 Grams per Tonne Gold over 4.3 Metres
in Y-Vein System at New Polaris
Vancouver, B.C. – October 27, 2022 - Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX: CCM, OTC -QB: CRCUF, Frankfurt:
CANA) (“Canagold” or the “Company”) announces high-grade gold assay results f rom the first four drill
holes of 20 completed as part of an 8,000-metre drill program targeting the Y-veins at New Polaris.
The 8,000 metres (“m”) of drilling currently underway for 2022 primarily targets the shallow high -grade
Y-vein system, located just north of the main resource of the C-West Main vein. The Y-vein system contains
two parallel, steeply dipping veins striking north –south (Y19 and Y20 veins). By infilling the previous
drilling, the planned holes will improve the resource category from the inferred to indicated level for
inclusion in the feasibility study for which Canagold has engaged Ausenco Engineering.*
The results are from the first four infill holes, which are located in the northern part of the Y-vein system.
These results clearly confirm the high-grade historic resource.
Gold mineralized intervals and true widths [m] from the assay results include:
• 22.1 gpt Au over 4.3 m [1.8 m] from 225.7 m down hole P22Y04 in the Y19 vein
• 22.9 gpt Au over 3.0 m [2.1 m] from 194.6 m down hole P22Y03 in the Y19 vein
• 9.39 gpt Au over 7.3 m [2.6 m] from 272.6 m down hole P22Y03 in the Y20 vein
• 7.48 gpt Au over 4.7 m [2.9 m] from198.0 m down hole P22Y02 in the Y19 vein
• 7.85 gpt Au over 3.3 m [unknown] from 123.2 m down hole P22Y04 in the previously unmodeled
vein
• 5.81 gpt Au over 5.5 m [2.1 m] from 308.0 m down hole P22Y04 in the Y20 vein
(Details of drilling set out in Table 1 and Table 2 below)
"These high-grade drill result s demonstrate the potential to add more ounces of gold in a completely
separate, and nearer-to-surface zone from the C-West Main vein, and to this point, the Y-veins are not in
the mine plan of our 2019 PEA,” said Canagold CEO Catalin Kilofliski.
“To dat e, we’ve completed over 5 ,400 metres of our 8,000-metre program that is running ahead of
schedule and under budget. The program is further testament to our commitment to shareholders as well
as the support we’re receiving from our largest shareholder, Sun Valley Investments. Since the formation
of our new Board of Directors, we have raised the necessary capital to continue our exploration drill
program, we’ve engaged Ausenco Engineering to commence a full feasibility study on New Polaris, and
most recently, our full Board and management team was on site engaging with the local community and
the Taku River Tlingit First Nations.”

New Polaris Overview
Canagold’s flagship asset is the 100% owned New Polaris Gold Mine project located in northwestern
British Columbia about 100 kilometres south of Atlin, B.C. and 60 kilometres northeast of Juneau, Alaska.
The property consists of 61 contiguous Crown -granted mineral claims and one modified grid claim
covering 850 hectares. New Polaris lies within the Taku River Tlingit First Natio ns traditional territory.
Canagold is committed to providing employment and business opportunities that help support the local
economies in the vicinity of its exploration projects.
The New Polaris gold deposit is an early Tertiary, mesothermal gold-bearing vein system occupying shear
zones cross-cutting late Paleozoic andesitic volcanic rocks. It was mined by underground methods from
1938 to 1942, and again from 1946 to early 1951, producing approximately 245,000 oz gold from 740,000
tonnes of ore at an av erage grade of 10.3 gpt gold. Three main veins (“AB, C and Y”) were mined to a
maximum depth of 150 m and have been traced by drilling for up to 1,000 m along strike and up to 800
m down dip, still open for expansion. The gold occurs dominantly in finely d isseminated arsenopyrite
within quartz-carbonate stock-work veins and altered wall-rocks. Individual mineralized zones extend up
to 250 metres in length and 14 metres in width. Average widths more commonly range from 2 to 5 metres.
Drill Core Sampling and Quality Assurance – Quality Control Program
Drill core is geologically logged to identify the gold mineralized zones that are allocated unique sample
number tickets and marked for cutting using a purpose-built diamond blade rock saw. Half core samples
are collected in labelled bags and the other half remains in the original core box stored on site. Quality
control (QC) samples including certified reference material standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted
into the sample sequence at intervals of one in 10 on a rotating basis to monitor laboratory performance
and provide quality assurance of the assay results. Several sample bags are transported together in rice
bags with unique numbered security tags attached and labelled with Company and l ab contact
information to ensure sample security and chain of custody during shipment to the lab.
The samples are submitted to the ALS Geochemistry lab in Yellowknife, NT for preparation and assaying.
The entire sample is crushed to 70% passing -2 millimetres and a 250 gram aliquot is split and pulverized
to 85% passing -75 microns. Analysis for gold is by 30 gram fire assay and gravimetric finish. A suite of 30
other elem ents including arsenic, antimony, sulfur and iron are analy sed by aqua -regia digestion
Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). ALS Canada Ltd. is accredited by the
Standards Council of Canada and is an ISO/IEC 9001:2015 and 17025 :2017 certified analytical laboratory
in North America.
