GFG Expands High-Grade Gold at Montclerg with 8.34 g/t Au

over 7.5 Metres East of the Prolific Timmins Gold District

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

• Additional high-grade and bulk tonnage gold intercepts from four new assay results

from the inaugural 2021 drill program at the Montclerg Gold Project

• Hole MTC-21-006 returned 8.34 grams of gold per tonne (g/t Au) over 7.5 metres (m),

40 m east of hole MTC-21-005 that graded 4.82 g/t Au over 26.0 m

• MTC-21-007 intercepted multiple bulk-tonnage zones above 125 m depth that graded

1.40 g/t Au over 31.1 m and 1.11 g/t Au over 23.0 m

• Assay results from the remaining five holes are pending and expect to be received in

the coming weeks

• Drilling resumed in March at the Montclerg Gold Project with a 5,000 m Phase 1 drill

program

March 22, 2022, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada: GFG Resources Inc. (TSXV: GFG )

(OTCQB: GFGSF) (“GFG” or the “ Company”) reports new assay results from four drill holes

that have intersected multiple zones of significant gold mineralization at the Montclerg Gold

Project (the “Project” and/or “Montclerg”), located 48 kilometres (“km”) east of the prolific

Timmins Gold Distric t in Ontario, Canada ( See Figure 1 ). In 2022, GFG plans to drill

approximately 10,000 m at Montclerg in parallel with a significant regional exploration program at

its Goldarm and Pen gold properties.

Today’s results are from the inaugural drill program which was completed in the fourth quarter of

2021. To date, the Company has released assay results from nine of the 14 holes that have

successfully returned both high-grade and bulk tonnage intercepts from the MC Central target (See

Table 1 and Figures 2 -5). The remaining five holes include additional testing of targets at MC

Central and initial tests at MC East. The Company expects to report assay results from the

remaining 2021 drill holes in the coming weeks.

Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO of GFG, stated, “Our early drilling success at Montclerg is

demonstrating the continuity of the system with both high-grade and bulk tonnage components.

These recent results are expanding our understanding of the system and its structural controls; the

intensity of the alteration, veining and sulphidation that we are seeing is consistent with a large-

scale gold system. With our Phase 1 2022 drill program well underway, further assays pending

from 2021 and encouraging metallurgical results from our partnership at Rattlesnake Hills, we are

off to great start and look forward to an exciting 2022.”

Technical Commentary of Assay Results

Drill hole MTC-21-006 was drilled to test the Upper Footwall zone 40 m east of the high- grade

mineralization intersected in MTC -21-005 which returned 4.82 g/t Au over 26.0 m (See news

release dated February 10, 2022) . This follow-up drill hole successfully intersected the Upper

Footwall zone and returned 8.34 g/t Au over 7.5 m , including 15.04 g/t Au over 2.7 m from an

interval of intensely carbonate and sericite altered mafic volcanic rocks with up to 15% quartz

carbonate veins and up to 30% pyrite and arsenopyrite. Three other mineralized intervals were

encountered that returned 0.82 g/t Au over 8.0 m, 0.99 g/t Au over 7.8 m, and 2.03 g/t Au over 3.1

m. As part of the on-going drill program, several holes will be completed to test for strike and dip

extensions of the high-grade mineralization within Upper Footwall zone.

Drill hole MTC -21-007, drilled on the same section as MTC -21-006, was designed to test the

Upper and Lower Main zones above a vertical depth of 125 m. The two zones were successfully

intersected returning 1.40 g/t Au over 31.1 m and 1.11 g/t Au over 23.0 m . Consistent with

previous holes, the gold mineralization occurs within intensely quartz and sericite altered felsic

volcanic rocks with up to 10% quartz vein and up to 5% pyrite and arsenopyrite.

Drill hole MTC-21-009 was designed to test the southward extension of the Upper Main zone and

Upper Footwall zone. The Upper Main zone was encountered returning 1.23 g/t Au over 15.0 m

with the Upper Footwall zone returning sporadic 1 to 2 m intervals of 0.2 to 1.0 g/t Au.

Drill hole MTC-21-010 was designed to test the northward extension of the Upper and Lower Main

zones at vertical depths less than 125 m from surface on the same section as MTC-21-005. The two

targeted zones were intersected and returned 1.05 g/t Au over 27.0 m and 0.77 g/t Au over 14.2

m. A third mineralized zone was encountered within the footwall mafic volcanic rocks that returned

3.52 g/t Au over 3.1 m . The shallow Main zones remain open towards the north indicating infill

and step-out drilling is justified and will be completed in the upcoming drill programs.

*Drill intercepts are presented using a 0.20 g/t Au cut-off and as drilled length. Composites include internal dilution of

up to 3 m at grades less than 0.2 g/t Au. True width is estimated to be 50 to 90% of drilled length.

Phase 1 2022 Drill Program

The Company has completed the first 6 holes of its Phase 1 2022 drill program at Montclerg. This

5,000 m drill program will focus on a one-kilometre segment of the MC trend and test for extensions

of the Upper and Lower M ain zones and the high- grade Upper and Lower Footwall zones. Drill

core logging of these initial drill holes along the MC trend note similar alteration and mineralization

to that previously documented for these zones confirming the kilometre scale extent of the gold

system. In particular, drill core from a hole completed around holes MTC -21-005 and 006, which

returned high-grade gold within the Upper Footwall zone, displays similar pyrite and arsenopyrite

contents, quartz veining and carbonate-sericite alteration.

Additionally, selected high priority targets will be tested on the CX (Canamax) trend where historic

drilling has identified gold mineralization in ultramafic, felsic porphyry and sedimentary rock units

with quartz-carbonate veining and alteratio n that is analogous to the Clavos gold deposit located

7.5 km to the west.

Outlook

In 2022, the Company plans to complete approximately 10,000 m of drilling on its Timmins

portfolio with its 5,000 m Phase 1 drill program well underway at the Montclerg Gold Project. In

addition to the 2022 drill programs, GFG will continue additional regional exploration activities

and drill target development across the Goldarm Property and the Pen Gold Project. The re gional

programs will include airborne geophysics , sonic till sampling program s and data compilation.

Meanwhile, assay results are pending for the remaining five holes from the maiden 2021 drill

program and the Company expects to report these results in the coming weeks.

Following the successful initial test work that exceeded recovery rate expectations at the

Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project (“RSH Project”) (See news release dated March 15, 2022 ), the

Company’s option partner, Group 11 Technologies Inc. (“ Group 11”), will proceed to conduct

further in-situ recovery (“ISR”) analyses and data review. The technical review will further assess

the amenability and recovery rates for extracting gold using an eco-friendly water-based solution.

Next steps to advance the RSH Project to include additional laboratory tests, additional drill tests

and related project permitting.
