ENDURANCE REPORTS MULTIPLE DRILL INTERSECTIONS FROM IMPERIAL ZONE
INCLUDING 7.93 GPT GOLD OVER 7.4 M
Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG – TSX.V; ENDGF – OTC Pink; 3EG – Berlin Open Market ) (the “ Company”) is
pleased to announce drilling results from the Imperial Zone at its Reliance Gold Project (the “ Property”). The
Property is road accessible and located 4 kilometres (“km”) east of the village of Gold Bridge, and 10 km north of the
historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced over 4 million ounces of gold.
Two (2) diamond drill holes were completed at the Imperial Zone designed to test thickening trends of the
mineralized zone observed in earlier drilling. Both holes successfully intersected wide mineralized intervals including
high-grade gold mineralization and validated the evolving structural geology model being developed at Reliance.
New drill hole results reported herein include:
• DDH23-081 returned three (3) significant intercepts over 31.7 metres (“m”), including: 7.93 gpt gold
over 7.4 m, 3.30 gpt gold over 5.1 m, and 1.23 gpt gold over 6.0 m
• DDH23-082 returned two (2) significant intercepts over 32.0 m including: 3.61 gpt gold over 16.0 m,
and 4.56 gpt gold over 7.3 m
• Estimated true width of the Imperial Zone in this area is estimated at 30 m (see Figure 2)
“We are pleased to see that drill testing of the Imperial Zone geologic model has now expanded a 30 m wide
mineralized zone over a minimum 200 m strike length. This wider zone of Imperial mineralization is still open to
expansion along strike and to depth.” stated Robert T. Boyd CEO of Endurance Gold Corporation “The drilling success
statistics also continue to be exceptional through 2023 and demonstrate the strength and growth potential of the
Royal Shear gold system with 70% of the drill holes returning significant gold intercepts over a 1.5 km strike length.”
DDH23-081 was drilled at -68 degrees to test the proposed thickening of the Imperial Zone 60 m down-dip from hole
DDH23-065 that returned 8.98 gpt gold over 9.3 m as reported on June 26, 2023, and 105 m down-dip from DDH21-
009 that returned 8.47 gpt gold over 24.9 m as reported on December 9, 2021. This drill hole successfully returned
three mineralized intercepts of 7.93 gpt gold over 7.4 m, 3.30 gpt gold over 5.1 m, and 1.23 gpt gold over 6.0 m over
a 31.7 m drill length . This drill hole was the first to successfully test the proposed thickening plunge within the
Imperial Zone.
DDH23-082 was drilled at -75 degrees with the objective of further defining the thickening trend of the Imperial
Zone. DDH23-082 intersected the Imperial Zone 30 m down-dip of DDH23 -081, and 40 m up -dip from DDH23 -066
that returned 17.28 gpt gold over 4.2 m as reported July 11 2023 . This hole successfully returned two mineralized
intercepts of 3.61 gpt gold over 16.0 m, and 4.56 gpt gold over 7.3 m over a combined 32.0 m drilled length.
New geologic modeling utilizing the 2023 diamond drill results has shown that the mineralized Imperial Zone dips
between 45 and 70 degrees to the southwest along the footwall of the Royal Shear. A thicker zone of mineralization
plunges at 245 degrees where the zone flattens to a 45 degree dip. This thicker zone has now been defined by five
drill holes over about 150 m vertical depth and 200 m along the plunge direction. The thicker zones are interpreted
to be related to large scale flexures in the Royal Shear host structure. The thicker zone is open along strike and to
depth and further drill testing is warranted next season to further expand.
The 2023 diamond drilling program has concluded for the season with 5,301 m completed in 22 drill holes. The 2023
program was shortened due to local wildfire s mid-season and therefore the Company work crews were evacuated
and not drilling for 2 months. As a result, many of the drill targets at the Eagle and Imperial Zones remain untested
this season and the Company anticipates restarting the drilling program in April 2024.
Complete a ssays are pending for seven (7) additional drill holes completed in the Eagle and Crown Zones. The
Company anticipates these results will be reported by early January.
Results from 2023 diamond drilling at the Imperial and Diplomat Zones are summarized on Table 1 and the reported
and highlight intersections are shown on the Royal Shear plan map in Figure 1, the Imperial cross section including
the two reported holes in Figure 2, and the Royal Shear longitudinal section in Figure 3. A summary of the 24 drill
holes with intersections exceeding 50 gram x metre from the 82 drill holes completed to date are shown on Table 2.
A complete tabulation of prior diamond drill hole results for 2021 through 2022, and 2023 is available on the
Company website.
The Company also announces that further to its news release dated September 27 and October 26, 2023 , the
Company has closed its previously announced non -brokered private placement of non flow -through units and flow -
through shares announced on September 11, 2023 . Total Proceeds from the two previously announced tranches of
the financing have resulted in gross proceeds of $1,092,794. 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.

Diamond drill core was logged and evaluated on the Property and samples designated for collection under the supervision of a geologist at the property. Drilling
was completed with NQ size tools capable of collecting 4.76 centimetre diameter core. NQ drill core was cut using a diamond saw with one half of the core sent
for analysis and the remaining kept for future studies. All drill core samples have been submitted to ALS Global in North Vancouver, BC, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017
accredited laboratory, where they are crushed to 70% <2 mm then up to 250 gram pulverized to <75 microns. Samples are then su bmitted for four-acid digestion
and analyzed for 48 element ICP -MS (ME -MS61) and gold 30g FA ICP -AES finish (AU -ICP21). Over limit samples returning greater than 10 parts per million
(“ppm”) gold are re -analyzed by Au -GRA21 methodology and over limit antimony returning greater than 10,000 ppm Sb are re -analyzed by Sb -AA08
methodology. Endurance Gold monitors QA/QC by inserting blanks, certified standards and pulp duplicates into the sample stream. The work program is
supervised by Darren O’Brien, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration for the Company and the qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. O’Brien
has reviewed and approved this news release.
