Vancouver, Canada – September 22, 2021 – Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX: CCM, OTC -QB:
CRCUF, Frankfurt: CANA) announces high-grade gold assays for four more drill holes from the ongoing
24,000 meter (m), 47-hole drill program at its 100% owned New Polaris Gold project in north western
British Columbia, located 100 kilometers (km) south of Atlin and 60 km northeast of Juneau, Alaska.
The focus of the drill program is infill and step -out drilling in the C West Main (“CWM”) vein system
which hosts a major part of the gold resources at New Polaris. The intercepts reported below include results
for two holes that also intercepted significant mineralization in a parallel vein ( “C10”) located in the
hanging-wall of the CWM vein.
Highlights:
• Hole 21-1890E1 intersected 17.1 gpt Au over 8.4 m from 343.0 m in the C10 Vein and 8.58 gpt
Au over 2.1 m from 442.5 m in the CWM Vein
• Hole 21-1890E2 intersected 7.25 gpt Au over 4.3 m from 368.0 m in the C10 Vein and 25.7 gpt
Au over 2.1 m from 481.7 m in the CWM Vein
• Hole 21-1859E1 intersected 4.84 gpt Au over 2.2 m from 393.3 m in the CWM Vein
• Hole 21-1800E1 intersected 8.60 gpt Au over 2.5 m from 534.6 m in the CWM Vein
Scott Eldridge, CEO and Director, said, “Intercepting high-grade gold over robust widths in the C10 vein
parallel to the CWM vein was an unexpected bonus. The C10 vein has returned high-grade gold results in
the past, but we have not previously estimated any resources for it. With these new drill results and further
drilling, there is an opportunity for the C10 vein to add additional resources at New Polaris.
“Additionally, we continue to intercept high -grade gold results in every infill drill hole intersecting the
CWM vein. These drill results fall within the PEA mine plan a nd increase the density of drilling in the
deposit so that we can upgrade inferred resources to indicated resources. We anticipate further assays from
both the C10 and W West veins in the coming weeks.”
The Company will host a webinar today at 9:00 am PDT / 12:00 pm EDT where management will be
available to answer questions following the presentation. Online registration and participation details may

The infill drill holes continue to intercept good gold grades over mineable widths throughout the CWM
vein system and they support the current resource at depth as predicted by the geological model. An
additional vein, the C10 vein, has been intersected in the CWM hanging-wall about 90 to 100 meters above
the CWM vein and has returned high grade gold over mineable widths in two of the holes (21-1890E1 and
21-1890E2) of the infill program so far (Cross Section). Three holes from previous drill campaigns by
Canagold had also intersected this zone of mineralization:
• 13.7 gpt Au over 3.8 m from 318.6 m in hole P95C42
• 15.1 gpt Au over 2.5 m from 354.5 m in hole P95C43
• 14.9 gpt Au over 1.6 m from 297.5 m in hole 06-1859E2
These previous drill intercepts were never incorporated into the geological model. More holes of the infill
drill program are expected to intercept this parallel vein and an updated geological model incorporating all
of these intercepts will be made at the end of the drill program.
Out of the planned 47-hole, 24,000 m program, 26 holes have now been completed, of which assay results
have been received for 12 holes. All the samples collected from the mineralized zone in these holes have
been submitted to the ALS Geochemistry lab in Whitehorse, YT for gold analysis. Detailed information
for the two drill holes and the sample assay results and mineralized intercepts are provided in Table 1 and
Table 2 below. The collar locations of the four holes in relation to other drill holes of the infill program are
shown on the Drill Hole Location Map and the mineralized intercepts relative to previous drilling on the
Long Section. Additional drill results are anticipated approximately every two weeks or so.
Infill Holes to Upgrade Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources
The program is designed primarily to in-fill drill the Inferred Resources of the CWM vein system within
the currently defined resources in the PEA*. The infill drill holes range in depth from 300 to 650 m and are
designed to provide greater density of drill intercepts (20 – 25 m spacing) in areas of Inferred Resources
between 150 and 600 m below surface. The improved drill density will be used to upgrade parts of the
Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources for inclusion in a future feasibility study.
*The New Polaris resource is contained within a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) report which was prepared by Moose Mountain
Technical Services in the format prescribed by NI43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and filed on Sedar April 18, 2019.
Exploration Holes to Test Down Plunge Potential and Expand Mineralized Zone
Two deeper exploration holes of approximately 1,000 m in length are being drilled to test between 200 to
250 m down plunge of the modeled extent to the gold mineralization. These will be the deepest holes drilled
on the project to date and the results will serve to guide the design of future drill programs. Typically,
mesothermal gold systems continue to depths far exceeding the current 600 m depth of the New Polaris
Resources. Similar high grade mesothermal gold mineralization at Red Lake, Ontario for example has been
mined to depths of more than 2,200 m.
New Polaris Overview
Canagold’s flagship asset is the 100% owned New Polaris Gold Mine project located in northwestern
British Columbia about 100 kilometers south of Atlin, BC and 60 kilometers 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 Nations traditional territory. Canagold is
committed to providing employment and business opport unities 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 aver age grade of 10.3 g pt 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 disseminated arsenopyrite within
quartz-carbonate stock-work veins and altered wall -rocks. Individual mineralized zones extend up to 250
meters in length and 14 meters in width. Average widths more commonly range from 2 to 5 meters.

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 ten on a rotating basis to monitor laboratory performance
and provide quality assurance (QA) of the assay results. Several sample bags are transported together in
rice bags with unique n umbered security tags attached and labelled with Company and lab 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 Whitehorse, YT for preparation and assaying.
The entire sample is crushed to 70% passing -2 millimeters 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 elements including arsenic, antimony, sulfur and iron are analyzed 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.
