LABRADOR GOLD INTERSECTS 44.08 G/T GOLD OVER 4.28 METRES AT BIG VEIN, KINGSWAY PROJECT

TORONTO, ON, August 18, 2021 – Labrador Gold Corp. ( TSX.V:LAB | OTC QX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6 ) (“LabGold” or

the “Company”) is pleased to announce further high-grade intercepts of near surface g old mineralization from

its 100% controlled Kingsway project near Gander, Newfoundland. These holes were drilled as part of the

Company’s 50,000 metre drill program. The Kingsway project is located in the highly prospective central

Newfoundland gold belt.

Four holes K-21-26, -33, -36 and -39 all contained intervals grading more than 15g/t Au. Hole K-21-39 intersected

44.08 g/t Au over 4.28m from 49 metres which represents a “metal factor” (grade x width) of 188.7 g/t Au x m*,

the highest value yet on the Kingsway Property . This in tersection included 1.02m grading 81.64 g/t Au and

1.03m grading 96.47 g/t Au and contained 91 grains of visible gold . Hole K-21-36 intersected 15.02 g/t Au over

0.74m from 8.84m. Hole K -21-33 intersected 40.85 g/t Au over 0.4m from 56.15 metres and hole K-21-26

intersected 15.55 g/t Au over 0.5m from 235 metres. A summary of the h igh-grade intersections, as well as

other holes with assays received to date, are given in Table 1 below. *The width used to calculate metal factor is

downhole width as there is insufficient information to calculate true width.

“The intersection of the near surface high grade gold mineralization in Hole K-21-39 has the highest-grade x

width value of 188.66g/t Au x m obtained so far from our drilling at Kingsway. This is significantly better than the

previous high of 138.28 g/t Au x m returned from Hole-21-31 and continues to demonstrate the potential for

high-grade intercepts at the Big Vein target.” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of the Company. “Three drills

continue to explore Big Vein with step out drilling along strike to the southwest and drilling of the high-grade

HTC Zone at depth.”

Big Vein target

The Big Vein target is an auriferous quartz vein exposed at surface that has been traced over 400 metres at

surface along the Appleton Fault Zone. It lies within a larger northeast-southwest trending “quartz vein corridor”

that stretches fo r over 7.5 kilometres as currently outlined , with potential for expansion along the 12km strike

length of the Appleton Fault Zone in both directions. Gold mineralization observed at Big Vein includes visible

gold in quartz veins , assays of samples from which range from 1.87g/t to 1,065g/t gold. The visible gold is

typically hosted in annealed and vuggy gray quartz, that is locally stylolitic with v ugs often containing euhedral

quartz infilling features characteristic of epizonal gold deposits.

The ongoing 50,000 metre drill program has tested Big Vein over approximately 200 metres of strike length of

the 400m surface exposure and to vertical depths of 175 metres. Drilling has produced visible gold in 11 drill

holes giving high grade intercepts as well as wide areas of gold mineralization associated with significant quartz

veining and sulphide mineralization including arsenopyrite, pyrite and possibl e boulangerite noted along vein

margins and as strong disseminations in the surrounding wall rocks.

QA/QC

True widths of the reported intersections have yet to be calculated. Assays are uncut. Samples of HQ split core

are securely stored prior to shipping to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for assay.

Eastern Analytical is an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory. Samples are routinely analyzed for gold by standard

30g fire assay with ICP (inductively coupled plasma) finish with samples containing visible gold assayed by

metallic screen/fire assay. The company submits blanks and c ertified reference standards at a rate of

approximately 5% of the total samples in each batch.

Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program for its financial support for exploration of the Kingsway property.

About Labrador Gold

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

prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.

In early March 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project in the

Gander area of Newfoundland. The three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately 16km of

the Appleton fault zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including the New Found Gold

discovery. Infrastructure in the area is excellent located just 18km from the town of Gander with road access to

the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water. LabGold recently increased its 20,000 metre diamond

drill program to 50,000 metres targeting high -grade epizonal gold mineralization following encouraging early

results. The Company has approximately $ 35 million in working capital and is well funded to c arry out the

planned program.

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

km. The belts are typical of greenstone belts around the world but have been underexplored 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 greenstone 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 kilometres along the southern section of the greenstone belt

(see news release dated January 25 th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls appro ximately 57km

strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Company has 151,472,206 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange

under the symbol LAB.
