iMetal Resources Mobilizes Drill Rig to Gowganda West To

Commence Fall 2022 Drill Program

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2022 / iMetal Resources, Inc.

(TSX.V:IMR)(OTC PINK:ADTFF)(FRANKFURT:A7V) ("iMetal" or the "Company") is

pleased to announce mobilization of a drill rig to Gowganda West ("GW") for the fall 2022

drilling campaign. GW is an exploration-stage gold project about 100 km south-southeast of

Timmins, Ontario, contiguous to Aris Gold Corp.'s Juby Project in the Shining Tree Camp of the

southern part of the Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt; contiguous also with the Knight project that is

part of the Strategic Partnership between Orefinders Resources Inc. and Agnico Eagle.

The objective of the 2022 program is to follow-up on the long gold intervals encountered in the

lower sections of the westernmost drill holes from the 2019 maiden drill program: 0.37 g/t gold

over 29.4 metres, 0.32 g/t gold over 30.25 metres, and 0.41 g/t gold over 19.5 metres. A review

of the IMR database by our revamped technical team has identified gold targets along strike

(northwest-southeast), along potential parallel trends (as seen at the adjacent Juby Project), and

potential new trends where geophysics suggests a potential continuation or splay structure from

the Juby Fault may be striking onto GW. Where it is adjacent to Aris Gold Corp's property, GW

is underlain by the same basement metasediments that host two of the four main zones of the

Juby Deposit.

Concurrently, the Company will further evaluate the 6-kilometre gold trend hosting Zone 1 and

Zone 3 in combination with the airborne geophysics to identify targets for the latter part of the

fall 2022 program.

Saf Dhillon, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are really looking forward to building on the

knowledge gained from our maiden drill program back in 2019. Gowganda West is a unique

opportunity to explore an under-loved and under-drilled area of near-surface, shallow-

overburden, gold-bearing rocks in the Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt, less than 2 kilometres from

a multi-million-ounce gold deposit."

approved by R. Tim Henneberry, P. Geo (British Columbia), a director of iMetal and a qualified
