Getchell Gold Corp. Extends the North Fork Gold Zone and Intersects
47.0 g/t Au over 1.5m at the Fondaway Canyon Gold Project, NV
Toronto, Ontario – November 17, 2021 – Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) ("Getchell"
or the "Company") is pleased to provide the results for the No rth Fork Zone drill hole FCG21-10, part of
the ongoing 2021 drill program at the Fondaway Canyon Gold project in Nevada.
Key Highlights
x Hole FCG21-10 intersected the North Fork Gold Zone mineralization over 82.2m that included the
following notable drill intercepts:
i) 3.0 g/t Au over 41.6m that included 47.0 g/t Au over 1.5m, the highest-grade gold intercept in
the 40+ year drilling history of the Project;
ii) 4.6 g/t Au over 9.8m; and
iii) 1.0 g/t Au over 14.3m.
x Hole FCG21-10 intersected North Fork up-dip from FCG20-04 that graded 2.5 g/t Au over 58.0m;
x Assays are pending for holes FCG21-11 through FCG21-14, that targeted the Colorado SW and
Juniper gold zones; and
x Hole FCG21-15 targeting the down dip extent of the Colorado SW gold zone is in progress.
"The latest results are a prime example of why the gold mineralizing system at the Fondaway Canyon Gold
Project is so compelling. The Project is host to an enviable setting comprised of very high-grade gold
bearing structures that are themselves hosted within broader and thicker zones of mineralization. The
grades and thicknesses that have become apparent at Fondaway Canyon rival many of our peers in a
world class gold district.” states Mike Sieb, President, Getchell Gold Corp.
Fondaway Canyon 2021 Drill Program Update
Eight drill holes, FCG21-07 through FCG21-14, totalling 3,064 metres have been drilled this year at the
Fondaway Canyon Gold Project. All eight holes are lo cated in the Central Area and are following up on
the discovery of the Colorado SW, the Juniper, and the North Fork gold zones during the 2020 drill program
(Figure 1).
Drill holes FCG21-09 and 10 targeted the North Fo rk Gold Zone, respectively above and below the
discovery hole drilled in 2020, FCG20-04, that graded 2.5 g/t Au over 58.0 metres within a broader zone
of mineralization (Figure 2).
Hole FCG21-10 intersected the North Fork Zone mineralization over an 82.2m drill interval and represents
a 35-50 metres up-dip step-out from the FCG20-04 discovery intercept. Table 1 lists the highly notable
gold intercepts encountered by hole FCG21-10.

Within the North Fork thick zone of mineralization, two of the more significant grade-thickness composite
intervals in the history of the project were encountered.
One interval graded 3.0 g/t Au over 41.6m that included 47.0 g/t Au over 1.5m , the highest-grade gold
intercept in the 40+ year drilling history of the Proj ect. A second interval, 9.1m lower in the drill hole,
returned 4.6 g/t Au over 9.8m.
These high-grade intervals are representative of the unique gold concentrating structures present within
the Fondaway Canyon gold mineralizing system and are a highly advantageous attribute for the future
potential of the Project.
There are now 4 drill holes on-section (FCG20-04, FCG21-10, FC17-04, and 02FC-01) that have reported
significant North Fork gold zone intercepts and have traced the down-dip extent for 175m (Figure 2).
The North Fork gold zone is projected a further distance down-dip and along strike as is shown in Figure
1 that incorporates off-section drill intercepts such as FC17-05, situated down-dip and 250m across an
open distance from FCG20-04.
The North Fork gold zone remains open in most directions and warrants significant follow-up.

Holes FCG21-11 through FCG21-14 that targeted the Co lorado SW and Juniper gold zones are complete
with assays pending (Figure 2).
Hole FCG21-15, designed to test the Colorado SW gold zone down dip from hole FCG20-05 (Figure 2) that
intersected 1.8 g/t Au over 90.0m including 3.0 g/t Au over 45.3m (Company news release dated Feb. 10,
2021), is in progress and expected to be completed shortly.

content and scientific and technical information in the news release.
The 2021 drill core is being processed using the same methods as the 2020 drill program. The core is cut
at Bureau Veritas Laboratories’ (“BVL”) facilities in Sparks, Nevada, with the samples analyzed for gold
and multi-element analysis in BVL’s Sparks, Nevada and Vancouver, BC laboratories respectively. Gold
values are produced by fire assay with an Atomic Absorption finish on a 30-gram sample (BV code FA430)
with over limits re-analyzed using method FA530 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish). The multi-
element analyses are performed by ICP-MS followin g aqua regia digestion on a 30g sample (BV code
AQ250). Quality control measures in the field include the systematic insertion of standards and blanks.
Highlighted drill intervals are based on a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off, minimum interval lengths of 3.3 metres (10
feet), and a maximum of 3.3 metres of internal dilution, with no top cut applied. All intervals are reported
as downhole drill lengths and additional work is required to determine the true width.
