Aug. 9, 2021

/CNW/ - Fosterville South Exploration Ltd. ("Fosterville South") or (the "Company") (TSXV: FSX) (OTCQX: FSXLF) (

Germany

4TU) is pleased to report that initial drilling at the Reedy Creek goldfield within the Providence Project in Victoria,

Australia

has returned high-grade gold assays

during reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling of a previously undrilled geochemical anomaly located within one of two ridge targets recently identified by the

Company.

Fosterville South is conducting the first modern exploration of the Reedy Creek Goldfield, which has included various geochemical sampling programs in

preparation of drilling that has now commenced. These assays reported today in Drill Hole RWR13

(

11m

at 31.34 g/t Gold including

at 80.05 g/t Gold)

are

from an area of the goldfield that has been the subject of no historic drilling. The gold mineralisation intersected in the drilling is present as a zone of significant

quartz veining with fine grained disseminated stibnite and pyrite. The strike and dip of the mineralised intercept is not yet known, and further drilling is planned in

the coming weeks.

The Fosterville South drill program at Reedy Creek has been underway for the past three weeks and commenced after the team negotiated and then signed 7

separate access agreements, while garnering strong community support for this exploration effort. All this planned drilling is on private properties, which

facilitates a streamlined drill program process once agreements are in place.

The initial 25 drill-hole program will total approximately 2,250 metres and is initially focussed on two ridge targets with extensive geochemical anomalies

established by Fosterville South fieldwork together with associated various historic workings. In preparation of drilling, a sampling program was completed, which

returned multiple high-grade assay results (see Fosterville South News Release dated

July 29, 2021

for details).

The Reedy Creek goldfield, which forms part of the Providence Project (see Figure 2), occurs in the

Melbourne

zone and has a history of gold production from

epizonal quartz veins, despite no drilling within the central goldfield apart from two vertical drill holes completed in the mid-1890s. While there has been no modern

exploration at Reedy Creek, historical gold production reported at Reedy Creek is 43,489 tons for 39,223 ounces at 26.8 grams per tonne gold.

intercept uses a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade and carry a maximum 2m of internal waste, while the higher-grade included intercept of

uses a 40 g/t Au

cut-off grade and no internal waste parameter. True widths are not known. Additional drilling is required to determine true widths. The assays are not capped.

Coordinates are Australian projection MGA94 zone 55.

Chief Operating Officer and Director, Rex Motton states, "To have a lengthy intercept of high-grade gold at the start of our first reconnaissance drill program at

the Reedy Creek goldfield is very exciting for our seasoned technical team. As we see it, the Providence Project has excellent potential for various high-grade

gold deposits. Our results from drilling into recently developed geochemical anomalies at Reedy Creek is excellent early evidence of the potential of the

Providence Project. We look forward to further follow up drilling of these geochemical targets as well as of old gold workings present within the project in the

coming months."

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

All assays were subject to quality control measures appropriate for reconnaissance rock chip sampling with duplicates, blanks and commercially available

standards with the expected results from the samples submitted. All assays were conducted by Onsite Laboratory Services Ltd (ISO: 9001), located in Bendigo,

Victoria

, using fire assay techniques with a 50g charge and ICP or AAS finish. The quality control results are consistent.

About Fosterville South Exploration Ltd.

Fosterville South began with two, 100% owned, high-grade gold projects called the Lauriston and Golden Mountain Projects, and has since acquired a large area

of granted and application tenements containing further epizonal (low-temperature) high-grade gold mineralisation called the Providence Project and a large group

of recently consolidated license tenement applications called the Walhalla Belt Project, which contain a variety of epizonal and intrusion related style gold

mineralisation, all in the state of Victoria, Australia. The Fosterville South land package, assembled over a multi-year period, notably includes a 600 sq. km

property immediately to the south of and within the same geological framework that hosts Kirkland Lake Gold's Fosterville epizonal gold tenements. Additionally,

Fosterville South has gold-focused projects called the Moormbool and Beechworth, which are also located in the state of Victoria, Australia. Moormbool project

has epizonal style gold mineralisation and Beechworth has mesozonal and intrusion relation gold mineralisation.

All of Fosterville South's properties, with the possible exception of Moormbool, have had historical gold production from hard rock sources despite limited modern

exploration and drilling.
