GFG Expands the Goldarm Property with the Acquisition of
the Aljo Mine Gold Claims in the Timmins Gold District
April 6, 2022, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada: GFG Resources Inc. (TSXV: GFG )
(OTCQB: GFGSF) (“GFG” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into a binding letter
of intent (the “Agreement”) with private, arm’s length vendors (the “Vendors”) to acquire a 100%
interest in 14 unpatented mining claims (the “Coulson Claims”) adjacent to the Goldarm Property
(See Figure 1).
Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO of GFG, commented, “ We are happy to add the strategic
Coulson Claims that host historic underground development at the Aljo Mine to our recently
consolidated land package. The high-grade gold values and the fact that gold mineralization exists
in a variety of geological settings and orientations demonstrates the prospectivity of the property
and our contiguous Goldarm Property.”
The Aljo Mine was the focus of underground exploration and development during the early 1900’s,
including two shafts to depths of 400 and 575 feet. Limited , intermittent production occurred
through the 1940’ s. More recently, Kingswood Exploration completed surface exploration and
drilling on the property between 1988 and 1992. This historic drilling returned high -grade gold
mineralization associated with quartz -carbonate veins in highly carbonate -altered mafic volcanic
rocks (See Table 1 ). Gold mi neralization is also documented in the adjacent ultramafic and
porphyric felsic intrusive rocks which, along with the presence of extensional - and shear -vein
systems, provides support for multiple mineralized zones and the overall high prospectivity of the
area.

(1) Drill intercepts are historical and GFG’s QP has not verified the laboratory accreditation, analytical method, sample
size or QA/QC procedures utilized for the historic drill results. True widths have not been estimated.
Potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource
on the Coulson Claims to date and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the Coulson Claims being defined
as a Mineral Resource.
Terms of the Agreement
Under the terms of the Agreement, GFG will acquire a 100% interest in the Coulson Claims by:
• Issuing 700,000 common shares of GFG (“ Consideration Shares ”) on closing of the
Agreement;
2
• Making a cash payment of C$50,000 to the Vendors;
• Granting the Vendors a 2% NSR on the Coulson Claims with the right to buy-back one half
(1%) of the NSR for C$1,000,000; and
• Making a success payment of C$1.0 million in cash within 60 days of announcement of any
NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource of 1.0 million ounce of gold on the Coulson Claims.
Completion of the Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including approval
of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Consideration Shares will be subject to a customary four month
hold period.
Outlook
In 2022, the Company plans to complete approximately 10,000 m of drilling on its Timmins
portfolio with its 4,000 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 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.
