HIGHWAY 50 GOLD CORP. EXPANDS QUITO NORTH LAND POSITION
AND ADVANCES EXPLORATION AT NEVADA PROJECTS
Vancouver, Canada (October 20, 2025) — HIGHWAY 50 GOLD CORP. (the “Company”)
(TSX.V: HWY) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing exploration activities at the Quito
North and Gold Knob projects in north-central Nevada.

Quito North Project
An additional 93 claims have been staked at the Company’s Quito North project to cover an
area of known pathfinder and gold mineralization on surface within both Upper- and Lower-plate
rocks. The new claims more than double the size of the existing tenure. The Quito Lower-plate
window has had former high-grade gold production and shows strong similarities to the world-
class Cortez Mining District (Figure 1).
The orientation of mineralization within the recently acquired claims is N10°W, consistent with
the dominant direction of mineralization at the majority of major Carlin-type gold districts in
Nevada. The N10°W orientation records the direction of extension during the Carlin mineralizing
event in north-central Nevada. A gravity survey has been commissioned with an imminent start
date. Refer to Figure 2, which compares the geology of Quito North to Cortez.
Gold Knob Project
Gold Knob is situated at the intersection of the Caetano Trough (east-west crustal structure
present at Cortez) and the Western Nevada Rift (major crustal structure) — two major crustal
structures also associated with mineralization in the Cortez District (Figure 3). The Company
has recently completed four lines of biogeochemical sampling over the northern and southern
extremities of the Wildhorse target area, 1.5 km south of Gold Knob, where previous shallow
drilling outlined a small gold resource over a 1 km2 area under shallow pediment cover in Upper-
plate rocks (Figure 4). Much of the project area exhibits shallow pediment cover, suggesting
biogeochemical surveys could be successful in extending sub-cropping gold mineralization.
Subsequent drilling will focus on connecting the Wildhorse mineralization to the Gold Knob
zone. In both cases, what has been discovered to date is believed to be leakage peripheral to
the main part of the gold system. Additionally, gravity and CSAMT surveys have been
commissioned at Gold Knob.
ABOUT HIGHWAY 50 G0LD CORP.
Highway 50 Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration stage company led by a team of experienced
explorers and mine finders. The Company is executing an exploration plan refined over 35
years of experience in Nevada. The exploration focus on its projects are a result of what
management believes to be breakthroughs in the understanding of north-central Nevada’s
crustal architecture.
