VANCOUVER, BC

Oct. 14, 2021

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

Germany

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

Australia

has returned high-grade gold

assays.

Fosterville South is carrying out a diamond drill program to test the zones of gold mineralization recently discovered at Reedy Creek in August 2021. The initial

diamond drill hole has been drilled at a different azimuth to obliquely target the same region as the discovery hole, RWD01, and has intersected

0.7m

at 238.1 g/t

Gold from

68.70m

and

0.80m

at 22.5 g/t Gold from

40.80m

The mineralization is of similar character to that found in discovery hole RWR13

(

11m

at 31.34

g/t Gold including

at 80.05 g/t Gold)

, albeit with a narrower width. The gold mineralisation intersected in the drilling is present as a zone of significant

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

data analysis is ongoing. The lower quartz vein present in the drill hole is quite oblique to the core axis and the initial structural interpretation is that it has a

subvertical dip with a true width of approximately

0.5m

Final gold assays were also received from the initial reverse circular drill program carried out on the Reedy Creek Goldfield by Fosterville South with multiple holes

intersecting gold mineralization (see Table 1.0 for details).

The Fosterville South drill program at Reedy Creek has been underway since

July 2021

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 Reedy Creek goldfield, which forms part of the Providence Project, 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.

* RWR13 was previously reported by the Company on August 9, 2021. Reverse circulation drill holes RWR12, RWR14, RWR15, RWR16, RWR18, RWR19, RWR22 and RWR24 did not encounter significant mineralization.

The intercepts use a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade. 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,

"We are excited that our first diamond drill hole intersected exceptionally high-grade gold at the Reedy

Creek gold field, while also pleased that the final reverse circulation holes in the area of the discovery also intersected strong gold mineralization on various

quartz veined structures. Drilling with the diamond drill rig now, versus the reverse circulation rig that made the discovery, will allow our technical team to start

assessing the vein sets being encountered including the intersection of these various quartz vein sets, which are considered to cause the greater zones of high-

grade gold mineralization, and where the most attractive future drill targets are. The results today shows that this system has the ability to produce exceptionally

high gold grades and this is an excellent follow-on result from the initial discovery hole. More results are expected soon."

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

All assays were subject to quality control measures appropriate for diamond core and reverse circular drilling 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.
