FALCON APPLIES FOR WORK PERMITS AT HOPE BROOK

Vancouver, B.C., September 17, 2021. FALCON GOLD CORP. (FG: TSX -V), (3FA: GR), (FGLDF:

OTCQB); ("Falcon" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it s exploration plans on its Hope

Brook Project which is strategically located contig uous to Sokoman – Benton Joint Venture ,

Marvel Discovery and First Mining’s ground which is optioned to Big Ridge Exploration . The

company has filed it initial permits for its first phase of exploration which includes high resolution

magnetic gradiometry surveys a proven method to sort the structural complexities in geological

terranes. The Company will also be sending prospecting crews to the area to begin baseline

prospecting to determine if the magnetic trends highlighted in regional government surveys are

due to similar mineralized structures as those hosting the nearby Sokoman / Benton new Lithium

discovery.

Most recently Sokoman/Benton made headlines announcing the first High Grade Discovery of

Lithium bearing pegmatites at their Golden Hope project. It is important to note this discovery is

less than 1 km away from our recent property expansion in the area. The 35 grab and chip

samples are noted in the Sokoman/Benton NR (September 16th 2021) were collected over a 2 km

distance. Their sampling program confirmed that the presence of pegmatite, and the first

significant occurrence of Lithium documented in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador,

Canada.

Karim Rayani Chief Executive Officer commented , “Falcon and our sister company Marvel

Discovery have made a lot of noise as of late not only in acquiring sizable land positions tied on

to major structures but also following the structures to find what w e believe are hidden gems

that were overlooked and passed by. Sokoman and Benton ’s new Lithium discovery being less

than a 1 km away is a testament to our business model.”

Falcon's Hope Brook 24,900 hectare property is hosted within the Exploits subzone of the central

Newfoundland gold belt. The property covers extensions or is proximal to two major structures

linked to significant gold prospects (Cape Ray; Matador Mining) and deposits (Hope Brook; First

Mining) in southern Newfoundland. Rock lithologies and structures on the property are also

related to those associated with Marathon Gold's Valentine gold deposits, Sokoman's

Moosehead gold project and New Found Gold's Queensway gold project. Falcon's land po sition

straddles both the eastern and western extents of recent land acquisitions by the

Sokoman/Benton JV partnership, with Falcon now controlling areas of considerable structural

complexity marked by large -scale fold and fault structures, which provide i mportant structural

controls (traps) for gold mineralization within this area.

Within this immediate area, the most significant deposit is the Hope Brook Gold Mine, which was

in production from 1987 to 1997, producing 752,163 ounces of gold. The Hope Brook deposit is

now owned by Coastal Gold Corp., which has outlined an additional 6.33 million tonnes at an

average grade of 4.68 grams per tonne gold for 954,000 ounces of gold in the indicated and

inferred categories.
