FALCON INITIATES AIRBORNE SURVEY OVER ITS HSP SOUTH PROJECT -
CONTIGUOUS TO GO METALS CORP.
Vancouver, B.C., October 18, 2022, Falcon Gold Corp. (FG: TSX -V), (3FA: GR), (FGLDF: OTCQB); ("Falcon"
or the “Company”)., is pleased to report the Company has contracted Balch Exploration to fly AirTEM
surveys over the Corporation’s large land position within the HSP Nickel -Copper-Cobalt Project area. (See
figure 1.)
AirTEM was successfully employed by Go Metals at their HSP Project area and ground follow -up of the
identified AirTEM anomalies, including trenching and direct drilling, which led to their new nickel
discovery.
“We are following the same successful strategy utilized by Go Metals and will be flying our entire land
position within the HSP project area. Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys are a proven
exploration strategy to directly detect conductive nickel s ulfide mineralization . We look forward to
reporting back on the findings once the data has been collected and interpreted.” Stated, Karim Rayani,
Chief Executive Officer
Falcon HSP South Project
On October 5 th the Company announced the acquisition of 413 claims covering 22,302 hectares of
strategic ground through an option agreement and staking contiguous and proximal to Go Metals Corp,
HSP Nickel Copper PGE Project 130 km north of Havre St. Pierre , Quebec. The staking covers
approximately 135 km of prospective contact of the Havre St. Pierre Anorthositic Complex (HSAP) where
Go Metals Corp recently announced the discovery of "Wide Intervals of Nickel and Copper Sulphides”. (Go
Metals Press Release D ated September 13, 2022 ). The most westerly block of the Falcon Gold claims
covers the southwest extension of the Anorthositic Complex, on a prospective fold nose structure and is
located less than 2.2 km from prominent airborne TDEM anomalies identified b y Go Metals and host to
the Nickel-Copper mineralization (Figure 1).

Falcon’s Other Battery Mineral Properties
On June 22 nd, 2022, the Company acquired the Timmins West and Outarde nickel projects northeast of
Timmins, Ontario and northwest of Baie -Comeau, QC respectively.
Timmins West comprises of 1,940 hectares within the Kamiskotia gabbroic complex (KGC) located 20
kilometres (km) northwest of Timmins, Ont. The KGC is a gabbroic to anorthositic intrusive mafic to
ultramafic body that has documented nickel -copper-cobalt (Ni -Cu-Co) mineralization. An outcrop grab
sample in 2004 reported 0.44% Ni, 0.64% Cu and 0.033% Co hosted within pyrrhotite. The property lies
40 km southwest of the Crawford Ni -Co project being developed by Canada Nickel.
The KGC property shares many similarities to other well -known complexes such as the Bushveld complex
(South Africa), the Stillwater complex (United States) and Bell River Dore Lake complexes (Quebec). The
Timmins West Ni-Cu-Co property has historically been explored for gold. However, its mafic to ultramafic
composition within the KGC makes it a prime target for magmatic Ni -Cu-Co mineralization.
The Outarde Property comprises 93 claims covering 5,138 hectares located 120 km northwest of Baie -
Comeau, QC. The property contains nickel -copper-cobalt-style mineralization and was last explored by
Falconbridge in 1997. The property is located at the folded nose of a gabbro -norite suite of mafic rocks,
part of the large anorthositic -gabbro pluton of the De La Blache mafic plutonic suite. The gabbro -norite
body occupies the entire length of the property (about 30 km) and has only been intermittently ex plored.
Nickel- and copper-bearing sulphides are generally located in fracture or shear zones. Values up to 1.28%

Ni, 1.38% Cu and 700 ppm Co was collected from a grab sample. The property has not been drilled. Grab
samples are selected samples and not nec essarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the
property.

About Falcon Gold Corp.
Falcon is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring, and exploring
opportunities in the Americas. Falcon’s flagship project, the Central Canada Gold Mine, is approximately
20km southeast of Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef Gold Deposit which has currently estimated 3.32 million
ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 g/t gold) mineral reserves, and 2.3 million ounces of
measured and indicated mineral resources (133.4 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t gold). The Hammond
Reef gold property lies on the Hammond shear zone, which is a northeast -trending splay off the Quetic o
Fault Zone (“QFZ”) and may be the control for the gold deposit. The Central Gold property lies on a similar
major northeast-trending splay of the QFZ.
The Company holds 14 additional projects: The Esperanza Gold/Silver/Copper mineral concessions locat ed
in La Rioja Province, Argentina; The Viernes Gold/Silver/Copper project in Antofagasta Chile; The
Springpole West Property in the world -renowned Red Lake mining camp; a 49% interest in the Burton
Gold property with Iamgold near Sudbury Ontario; in B.C., the Spitfire-Sunny Boy, Gaspard Gold claims;
the Great Burnt, Gander North/South, Valentine Gold South, Victoria West, and Golden Brook acquisitions
adjacent to First Mining, Matador, Benton -Sokoman’s JV, and Marvel Discovery in Central Newfoundland;
and most recently Battery Metals projects in Ontario and Quebec, The Timmins West and Outarde
Property.
