NEWS RELEASE 20 - 05 July 20, 2020
ENDURANCE EXPANDS LAND POSITION AND COMPLETES OPTION AGREEMENT
AT THE RELIANCE GOLD PROPERTY IN B.C.
Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG – TSX.V) (the “Company”) announces a 67% increase in the size of Reliance Property in
Southern British Columbia from the initial 673 hectares to the current 1,122 hectares (the “ Property”). Concurrent with
this increase the Company has executed a comprehensive option agreement with the Optionor (“ Agreement”). The
Property is located 4 kilometres (“km”) east of the village of Gold Bridge with year-round road access, and 10 km north of
the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which produced over 4 million ounces of gold.
Under the terms of the original letter agreement completed in September 2019, the Company can earn a 100% interest
in the Property for cash consideration in the aggregate amount of $300,000 to be paid over five years, the allotment and
issuance of up to a total of 4,000,000 common shares of the Company (the “ Shares”) by December 31, 2025 and
exploration expenditures in the aggregate amount of $3,000,000 to be incurred by December 31, 2024. Prior to this
Agreement, the Company had paid $10,000 and issued 200,000 Shares to the Optionor as provided in the original letter
agreement. With completion of this Agreement, a further $10,000 payment is payable. The Agreement is subject to a 2.5%
net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), of which 1.5% NSR can be purchased by the Company at any time for $1,000,000.
As part of the Agreement, two claims acquired by the Optionor subsequent to the initial letter agreement were included
in the Agreement. In addition, the Company also acquired a 20 hectare claim from a third party and this claim will be
included in the Agreement.
In September 2019, the Company agreed to issue up to 200,000 Shares to PI Financial Corp. (the “Finder”) who introduced
the Property to the Company. The Shares will be issued and paid to the Finder in two tranches. The initial 100,000 Shares
to the Finder are now payable with the completion of the Agreement. The second tranche of 100,000 Shares will be issued
and paid on or before January 31, 2021 provided that the Agreement remains in good standing on December 31, 2020.
The Shares issued will be subject to a 4 month hold period as per the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Property was previously explored with trenching and diamond drilling from 1985 through 2008. The last program of
drilling in 2008 targeted the Imperial Zone, and returned highlight drill intersection widths of 13.30 grams per tonne
(“gpt”) gold over 4.20 m (est 1.8m true width), 7.05 gpt gold over 5.06 m (est 2.05 m true width), 5.70 gpt gold over
12.05 m (est 9.5 m true width), 5.43 gpt gold over 15.35 m (est 10 m true width), and 2.16 gpt gold over 12.13 m (est
6.5 m true width), in five (5) drill holes.
In December 2019, the Company announced the results from a program of surface rock sampling completed in September
2019 which included 10 gpt gold over 5 m at the Imperial Zone and 4.6 gpt gold over 2 m at the Senator Zone prospects.
The Company completed a helicopter supported aeromagnetic geophysical survey and the results from this survey were
announced on July 6, 2020. An exploration program consisting of soil, biogeochemical and rock sampling is currently active
with planned geological and structural mapping expected to be completed in August. The company submitted its
application for drill permit in February and that application is currently in the consultation phase.
Summary maps of the 2020 airborne magnetic data, the historic and 2019 surface sampling results and the 2008 drill
results in plan and section for the Reliance Property are available on the company website.
Endurance Gold Corporation is a company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of highly prospective
North American mineral properties with the potential to develop world-class deposits.

Robert T. Boyd, P.Geo. is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 and supervised the compilation of the historic information forming the basis for
this release. The 2019 representative chip samples mentioned in this release were analyzed for gold only at SGS Canada by GE_FAA30V5. The single over-limit sample
that exceeded 10,000 ppb gold was analyzed by SGS Canada by GO_FAG30V. Confirmation standards were inserted by SGS Canada with each of the two analytical
techniques.
Bedrock representative chip and grab samples mentioned in this release are potentially selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades within the
bedrock when drilled. Except for the drilling completed in 2008, the historic exploration drilling activity cannot be relied upon due to poor quality georeferencing and
lack of down-hole dip information. Despite estimates, the drill intersections mentioned in this release may not accurately represent the true width of the intersection. In
2008 all cut and/or split core samples were analyzed by ICP analyses at Ecotech Analytical Laboratory. Samples that exceeded 1,000 ppb Au were rerun by lead collection
fire assay at the same laboratory using a preferred 30 gram sub-sample size.
The 2020 exploration program is being managed by Darren O’Brien, P.Geo, an independent consultant and qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.
Mr. O’Brien has reviewed and approved this news release.
