St. James GOLD Corp. Announces Secures and Pays Deposits to an Established Drill Contractor to Complete 7,000 Meters of HQ-NQ2-NQ Diameter Diamond Drilling at Florin GOLD Project, Yukon Canada

Exploration Programs

ST. JAMES GOLD CORP. ANNOUNCES SECURES AND PAYS DEPOSITS TO AN

ESTABLISHED DRILL CONTRACTOR TO COMPLETE 7,000 METERS OF HQ-NQ2-NQ

DIAMETER DIAMOND DRILLING AT FLORIN GOLD PROJECT, YUKON CANADA

Vancouver, British Columbia, June 9, 2022 - St. Jam es Gold Corp. (TSXV: LORD) (OTCQB:

LRDJF) (FSE: BVU3) ,( the “ Company ” or “ St. James Gold ”) is pleased to announce that its Operator

at the Florin Gold Project (as defined below), has assisted in securing and paying deposits to an

established drill contractor to complete 7,000 mete rs and up to 8,500 meters of HQ-NQ2-NQ diameter

diamond drilling with the option to add a second dr ill to expand the program to in excess of 12,000

meters for the 2022 drill season, at its district-scale, 89 square-kilometer Florin Gold Project (the “ Florin

Gold Project ”) located in the prolific Tombstone gold belt of the Yukon Territory, Canada (Figure 1).

Further, the Company has retained Fox Exploration L td to provide camp and access support services for

the planned drill program at the Florin Gold Project.

Drilling at the Florin Gold Project this season is expected to be focused on expansion drilling adjacent to

the existing inferred resource which currently cont ains an inferred mineral resource of 2,474,000 ounc es

of gold in 170,993,000 tonnes grading 0.45 g/t gold, with a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t gold at a gold pr ice of

41,650 per ounce (see the Company’s news release dated June 8, 2021, a copy of which is filed under the

Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com).

Prior drill programs at the Florin Gold Project hav e returned gold mineralization from surface to dept h

with intercepts and grades comparable to similar in trusion-related gold deposits in the region, includ ing

Victoria Gold’s Eagle and Olive gold deposits. The current resource area spans approximately 900 meters

on strike along the NW, “Jethro” fault which, throu gh multiple exploration programs, has now been

traced for a distance in excess of five kilometers. In addition to expansion drilling to test for pote ntial

mineral on adjacent to the existing inferred resour ce area, the Company intends to test other encourag ing

geochemistry targets, in particular: those in and around the Treadwell adits immediately to the east of the

inferred resource area which have returned high gra de rock grab samples containing up to 15.85 g/t Au

(see St. James Gold’s news release dated April 29, 2022); and an area of possible clay alteration

supported by nearby gold in soil anomalies approximately two kilometers west northwest on strike within

the Jethro fault that has been traced for in excess of 5 km. Grab samples are selective by nature and may

not be representative of actual grades of styles of mineralization across the Florin Gold Project.

Oversight of the Florin Gold Project is being provided by a 6-member Geoscientist Technical Committee

with input from consultants which has currently ide ntified a number of high priority targets across in

excess of 30 drill holes at an estimated 300 + mete rs each. The Company anticipates mobilizing for the

2022 exploration drill program at the Florin Gold P roject shortly and the Company will provide further

updates in subsequent news releases in the coming weeks.

***Since the intercepts lie within a disseminated d eposit with mineralization starting at surface and

extending beyond the deepest intercepts, and the mineralized zone is laterally extensive, the intercepts are

interpreted to represent true thickness of the mineralization.

Previous anomalous soil samples, from trace up to 4 ,256 ppb gold, extend over a broad zone extending

well beyond the footprint of the indicated resource, particularly to the northwest and southeast.

“With a highly experienced drill contractor secured, the Company is in an excellent position to further the

Florin Gold Project,” stated George Drazenovic, Chief Executive Officer of St. James Gold . “The prior

drill results, include hole ICE 28, being 526 metres of 0.75 g/t Au mineralized from surface and ending in

mineralization . The broader intercept also includes a near surface higher grade intercept of 101.4 metres

at 1.41 g/t. The current inferred resource remains open both laterally and at depth. We are looking

forward to the 2022 drilling program as well as con tinuing exploration efforts at other prospective ta rget

areas within the district-scale property.”

St James’ Operator has a Class 3 Mining Land Use Pe rmit for the Florin Gold Project claim blocks,

comprising the 89 square km Florin Gold Project. Th e Class 3 permit, valid until November 19, 2025,

will allow St. James Gold to complete advanced expl oration activities across the Florin Gold Project

claim blocks. The Class 3 land use permit will allo w St. James Gold’s Operator to aggressively move

forward to drill test several priority targets acro ss the district-scale Florin Gold Project in 2021 a nd

beyond.
