NEWS RELEASE

PORTOFINO MOBILIZES TEAM TO EXPAND CHANNEL SAMPLING PROGRAM-

ALLISON LAKE NORTH LITHIUM PROPERTY

Vancouver, B.C., September 14, 2021. PORTOFINO RESOURCES INC. (TSX-V: POR) (OTCQB: PFFOF) (FSE:

POTA) (“Portofino” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its geological team has re-mobilized to the

Allison Lake North Lithium and Rare Elements Property (the “Property”) located 100 kilometres (“km”)

east of the town of Red Lake in northwestern Ontario . The team is expanding on the initial exploration

program and carrying out additional systematic channel sampling where encouraging Lithium (“Li”) and

Tantalum (“Ta”) values were recently discovered.

Initial grab sampling by Portofino (NR Sept 7, 2021) returned values up to 398 ppm Li, 90.5 ppm Cesium,

1040 ppm R ubidium and 135 ppm Ta . This represents a two -fold increase in Li and Rb and a ten -fold

increase in Ta over sampling results by the Ontario Geological Survey (“OGS”) in 2003 which reported up

to 190 ppm Li; 90 ppm Cs; 587 ppm Rb and 12.9 ppm Ta.

The Allison Lake North Property

The 2003 Ontario Geological Survey (“Breaks”) report described the Allison Lake batholith as the largest

known peraluminous granitic body in northwestern Ontario. Breaks concluded that, “the Allison Lake

batholith represents an important new exploration target for rare- element mineralization and is the

largest such granite thus far documented in Ontario. This area has high potential for further discoveries

of rare -element mineralization that occur in exocontact, metasedimentary -hosted pegmatites or as

internal pegmatites within the parent granite”. The Root Bay pluton which is host to the Root Bay lithium

deposit of 2.3Mt @ 1.3% Li 2O (OGS OFR 6160, Table 14) is also an S -type peraluminous granite which

appears genetically linked to the southeast arm of the Allison Lake batholith (Breaks et al., 2003, OFR

6099).
