South Darlot Gold Project: Phase 2 Soil Sample Programme

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (GlobeNewswire – 2 November, 2022), Central Iron

Ore Ltd. (CIO – TSX.V) (“CIO” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce they have commenced

the Phase 2 soil sampling programme at the South Darlot Gold Project.

CIO is pleased to announce that it has commenced the second phase of soil sampling on

tenements M37/631 and M37/632 to expand upon the successful Phase 1 programme announced

in June 2022. This programme identified five coincident gold-copper-lead in soil anomalies on or

about the Emperor Structure and along strike of the Endeavour Mineral Resource. In addition to

the gold anomalism, two lithium targets were identified characterised by the presence of elevated

Li and other elements associated with LCT pegmatites (Rb, Cs, Be, Ta).

The Phase 2 programme consists of 3,870 soil samples to be collected on the same tight sample

density of 20mN x 30mE (Figure 1) and will target potential mineralised systems with a similar size

footprint of the Endeavour and Mermaid prospects located on M37/631.
