For Immediate Release

Calgary, Alberta – February 4, 2022. Guardian Exploration Inc. (TSXV:“GX”) (“Guardian”) announces that

it has executed an agreement (the “ Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Dennis Moore (“ Moore”) for the

purchase (the “ Acquisition”) of Moore’s interests in certain mineral claims primarily located within the

Tongass National Forest Alaska, USA, known to the parties as the Kaigani claims (the “ Assets”). The

purchase price for the Assets will be satisfied through issuance of 1,000,000 Common Shares in the share

capital of Guardian, a cash payment of US$35,000 and a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty. Guardian will be

entitled to buy back ½ of the Net Smelter Royalty at a price of US$1,500,000 for a period of five years or

120 days from the date a preliminary economic assessment is issued with respect to the claims, whichever

is earlier.

In the event that a drilling permit that enables Guardian to drill on the mining claims is issued within five

years from the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Guardian will pay Moore an additional US$25,000

and will issue Moore an additional 1,000,000 Common Shares.

The Acquisition is an Arm’s Length Transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the

“Exchange”).

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to Exchange approval, that the transaction close on or before

March 31, 2022, and to other conditions usual to transactions of this nature.
