About Labrador Gold:

Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration co mpany focused on the acquisition and exploration of

prospective gold projects in the Americas. In 2017 Labrador Gold signed a Letter of Intent under which the

Company has the option to acquire 100% of the 896 square kilometre (km 2) Ashuanipi property in northwest

Labrador and the Nain (503 km2) and Hopedale (458 km2) properties in eastern Labrador.

The Hopedale property covers much of the Hunt River an d Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretch over 80

km. The belts are typical of greenstone belts aroun d the world but have been under explored by comparison.

Initial work by Labrador Gold during 2017 show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre

section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake gr eenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog

gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g /t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake

sediment samples occur over approximately 40 kilometr es along the southern section of the greenstone belt

(see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details).

The Ashuanipi gold project is located ju st 35 km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville,

which is linked by rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment

gold anomalies that, with the exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration

program. Results of the 2017 reconnaissance explorat ion program following up the lake sediment anomalies

show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north-south

trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east-west trend. The anomalies appear to be broadly

associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional scale (see

news release dated January 18th 2018). This suggests a possible structural control on the localization of the gold

anomalies. Historical work 30 km north on the Quebec si de led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams per

tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width) (Source: IOS Services Geoscientifiques, 2012, Exploration and

geological reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer Field Season 2011).

Gold in both areas appears to be associated with similar rock types.
