Granada East Project Revisited in Search of Historic High-Grade 200 Grams
per Tonne Gold Mineralization
April 14, 2025, Rouyn Noranda, Quebec, Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (the “Company” or
“Granada”) is pleased to announce its expanded exploration focus on the Granada East Project. The
potential strike length on the property is 5.5 kilometres, including the eastward extension 2.5
kilometres from the Granada Pit 1 to the historical Aukeko Shaft and a further 2 kilometres to the
Austin-Rouyn Shaft.
The Aukeko Shaft was sunk on the “Auk Shear” zone in conjunction with stripping and trenching
which was mapped over a one-kilometre length with an average width of 50 metres. The Auk Shear
zone was the location of the Bert Vein where three bulk samples were reported to have been taken
in 1938 from a trench approximately 50-to-150 metres east of the Aukeko Shaft . The bulk samples
averaged a grade of 7.0 ounces gold per ton (240.0 grams per tonne) (from public files with
MERN(Ministère d’Energie et Ressources Naturelles) GM52851)(News Release July 10, 2018).
The Austin Rouyn shaft, sunk to a depth of 68 metres, reported grab samples from the first level (at
36 metres) taken in 1940 and assaying up to 8.57 ounces of gold per short ton ( 291.4 grams per
tonne) (1980, Report: GM36668).
Exploration Highlights:
• Phase I - Conduct Drone Lidar survey to integrate with historic drone mag survey, property
mapping and drilling
• Phase II – Conduct Second round of geophysics (survey details still in discussion with
geophysics company, potentially radiometric) to maximize potential drill targets for REE,
Alkali Metals and Gold mineralization.
The Granada Project lies along a significant but underexplored structural corridor. To date, over 90%
of exploration activity has been concentrated on the western portion of the property, while Granada
East remains largely unexplored , despite historical records dating as far back as the 1920s. The
renewed focus on Granada East represents a critical step forward in unlocking the full potential of
the project.
About Granada East:
The Aukeko gold mine is part of the east-west trending structure on the Granada Gold Mine
property. It is two kilometres east from the extended LONG Bars zone where over 160,000 metres of
drilling has been undertaken to date, in addition to historical drilling from the 1990s. A further 1.9
kilometres east is the Austin -Rouyn Mine. Note that there are two cross -cutting intrusive dykes of
undefined width within that strike length. The potential strike length is conceptual in nature as there
has been insufficient exploration to define the full length of the mineralized mat erial and it is
uncertain if further exploration will do so.
In the late 1930s, a shaft was sunk to 13 metres and extensive trenching was undertaken on surface
at the Aukeko Mine. Mapping identified several auriferous structures within a 500-metre wide, east-
west trending zone with shearing, alteration, and quartz veining along with numerous porphyry
intrusions.

Proposed Exploration:
Granada Gold Mine conducted a Drone Magnetic Survey in 2018, which currently covers most of the
property. Building on this data, the Company plans to initiate a Phase I LiDAR survey , aimed at
enhancing the structural understanding of the area. The integration of this new data with the existing
magnetic survey, historic geological mapping (notably KWG, 1993), and historical drilling results will
provide a robust framework for identifying high -priority exploration targets th rough the
delineations of prominent structures.
“The opportunity to explore for high grade gold opens up a new frontier at Granada, particularly in
the underexplored eastern claim block,” said Frank J. Basa, President CEO . “By leveraging a
combination of modern and historical data, we’re positioning ourselves to make informed, high -
impact exploration decisions.”
In preparation for Phase II, Granada Gold will engage with a local geophysical firm to determine the
most effective methods for further defining gold-bearing structures. EM/IP work will be considered
as part of this ongoing evaluation. The Company’s goal is to partner with strong technical
collaborators to define high -potential drill targets, enhancing both the mineral and structural
understanding of the Granada property and our commitment to fostering local businesses and
communities.

Mineral Resource Estimate
On August 22, 2022 the Company filed an updated NI 43 -101 technical report supporting the
resource estimate update for the Granada Gold project (Please see July 6, 2022 news release)
reporting that the Granada deposit contains an updated mineral resource, at a base case cut-off grade
of 0.55 g/t Au for pit constrained mineral resources within a conceptual pit shell and at a base case
cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t for underground mineral r esources within reasonably mineable
volumes, of 543,000 ounces of gold (8,220,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.05 g/t Au) in the
Measured and Indicated category, and 456,000 ounces of gold (3,010,000 tonnes at an average grade
of 4.71 g/t Au) in the Inf erred category. Please see Table 1 below for full details. Report reference:

About Granada Gold Mine Inc.

Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop and explore its 100% owned Granada Gold Property
near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and is adjacent to the prolific Cadillac Break. The Company owns 14.73
square kilometers of land in a combination of mining leases and claims. The Company is currently
undergoing a large drill program with 18,000m out of 120,000m complete. The drills are currently
paused to provide the technical team with the necessary time to evaluate, assimilate existing data
and wait for improved market conditions.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone contain, based on historical detailed mapping as
well as from current and historical drilling, up to twenty -two mineralized structures trending east-
west over five and a half kilometers. Three of these struct ures were mined historically from four
shafts and three open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10 grams per tonne gold from
two shafts down to 236 m and 498 m with open pit grades from 3.5 to 5 grams per tonne gold (43-
101 reference).
The property includes the former Granada Gold underground mine which produced more than
50,000 ounces of gold at 10 grams per tonne gold in the 1930’s from two shafts before a fire
destroyed the surface buildings. In the 1990s, Granada Resources extracted a bulk sample (Pit #1)
of 87,311 tonnes grading 5.17 g/t Au. They also extracted a bulk sample (Pit # 2) of 22,095 tonnes
grading 3.46 g/t Au. Details available in 43-101 report and on Company website:
