Corporate Updates

Element 79 Gold Corp Strengthens Posi�on in Peru, Acquiring Roxana Vein at

Auc�on, Adjacent to the High-Grade Lucero Gold-Silver Project

CEO James Tworek also Provides an Update on Peru Work Plan

VANCOUVER, BC / THENEWSWIRE / June 27, 2023 – Element 79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM)(OTC: ELMGF)(FSE:

7YS) ("Element 79 Gold", the "Company") proudly announces that, further to an auc�on held on May 17,

2023, the Company submited the winning bid for the coveted area covering the Roxana vein and referred

to as Lucero del Sur 28 located strategically just east of the high-grade Lucero gold-silver project (Figure 1)

which has recently returned up to 402 g /t gold, and 8,464 g/t silver in underground chip sampling (see

news release April 27, 2023).

"This strategic move allows us to further strengthen our foothold in the area while con�nuing to validate

the region's abundant resources," said James Tworek, President and CEO. "The Roxana vein boasts a

significant historical poten�al, and we aim to build upon these results while leveraging our resources in

the region."

Lucero del Sur 28

Encompassing 1,200 hectares, the Lucero del Sur 28 property is located immediately to the east of the

high-grade Lucero gold-silver project (Figure 1.) in the Shila range of southern Peru.

Roxana Vein

Historical informa�on obtained from Buenaventura indicates the Roxana vein outcrops over a strike length

of approximately 100m, with varying widths between 0.20 and 0.50 meters. The vein is dominated by

white to hyaline quartz) and altered rock clasts, with lesser amounts limonite pa�nas, hema�te , pyrite,

and jarosite. Certain sec�ons feature lenses with argen�ferous galena, chalcopyrite, malachite, and

azurite. Informal workers have worked at strike lengths of approximately 50m and depth of 5m, extrac�ng

over 12,000 tonnes of ore yielding grades of 12.5 g/t Au and 1.2 oz/t Ag.

Tocracancha Prospect

Previously work on this pro spect near the Roxana vein iden�fied several west-northwest trending veins

exhibi�ng strike lengths from 200 meters to nearly 1,200 meters with widths spanning from 0.5 to 2.0

meters. The observed mineralogy predominantly consists of predominantly hyaline quartz, gray silica

microveins, baryte, and calcite, with traces of galena, sphalerite, as well as oxides of iron and manganese.

“Given the recent high-grade results on the Lucero project we jumped at the opportunity to acquire the

nearby Lucero de Sur 28 property which hosts significant known at surface mineraliza�on,” quoted James

Tworek, Element79 Gold Corp CEO. “While our current work plans are focused on proving up the main

veins of the Lucero project’s past producing Shila Mine, we also intend to explore this new land package

in the near term. “

mining district of northeastern Nevada, USA, between the Elko and White Pine Coun�es. Maverick Springs

hosts a 43 -101-compliant, pit-constrained mineral resource es�mate reflec�ng an inferred resource of

3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent "AuEq" at a grade of 0.92 g/t AuEq (0 .34 g/t Au and 43.4 g/t Ag)

with an effec�ve date of October 19, 2022. The acquisi�on of the Maverick Springs Project also included

a por�olio of 15 proper�es along the Batle Mountain trend in Nevada, which are non-core to its primary
