Galleon Gold Announces Filing of NI 43-101
Technical Report for the West Cache Gold
Project, Timmins, Ontario
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 22, 2021) - Galleon Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGO) (the
"Company" or "Galleon Gold") wishes to advise that the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Cache
Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate announced on September 8, 2021 has been filed under the
Company's profile on SEDAR.
Filing of NI 43-101 Technical Report
The Technical Report (the "Report") titled "Technical Report and Updated Mineral Resource Estimate of
the West Cache Gold Property, Bristol and Ogden Townships, Porcupine Mining Division, Timmins,
Ontario" with an effective date of September 3, 2021 was prepared in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 "
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
" ("NI 43-101").
The Report was
prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc.
Highlights include:
The Mineral Resource was modelled as amenable to open pit and underground mining methods;
and
100% of the Mineral Resource is within Galleon Gold's West Cache Gold Property, where the
Mineral Resource remains open along strike and at depth.
Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")
An Updated Mineral Resource Estimate update is expected to be completed in conjunction with the
Company's upcoming PEA. Continuing work on the Mineral Resource, including follow- up and infill
sampling, geological interpretation and modelling the Project as an underground-only mine, is currently
underway. An all-underground mining operation would reduce the mining footprint on surface.
Note from the CEO
R. David Russell CEO and President of Galleon Gold stated: "We are pleased to have increased the
Mineral Resource by 20% over the past year and look forward to delivering results from the first PEA for
the West Cache Project.
While we are eager for the completion of the economic analysis, and
quantifying the potential of this Mineral Resource, we are equally excited to see how the mine plan for an
all-underground scenario develops."

About West Cache Gold Project
The West Cache Gold Project is located 13 km southwest of Timmins Ontario, and is serviced by
Provincial Highway 101 and secondary access roads. It is situated along the Porcupine - Destor
Deformation Zone in the Timmins Gold Belt, approximately 7 km northeast of Pan American Silver's
Timmins West Mine and 14 km southwest of Newmont's Hollinger Mine.
West Cache is an advanced-stage gold exploration project covering over 3,600 ha that hosts the current
Mineral Resource near the centre of the Property, with additional Exploration Targets to the north and
south. The Mineral Resource is contained within the Porcupine Sedimentary Basin, a favourable litho-
structural corridor with over 2 km of strike-length on the Property. Mineralization is open in all directions
and at depth. Recent metallurgical test work completed as part of a future Feasibility Study revealed that
the three primary processing options for gold recovery: 1) Gravity + Flotation, 2) Whole Ore, and 3)
Gravity + Whole Ore - all indicate strong gold extractions can be achieved on each of the low (1.77 g/t),
mid (5.10 g/t) and high (21.9 g/t) grade portions of the recently identified Zone #9 gold mineralization
(see Company's news release dated August 11, 2021).
