Exploration Programs

ST. JAMES GOLD CORP. MOBILIZES DRILL AND CREWS TO THE FLORIN GOLD

PROJECT IN YUKON TERRITORY, CANADA

Vancouver, British Columbia, July 5, 2022 - St. Jam es Gold Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV:

LORD) (OTCQB: LRDJF) (FSE: BVU3) is pleased to announce that it has commenced camp

construction and mobilized drill equipment and crew to the road accessible Florin Gold Project which i s

host to the 2.47 million ounce Florin Inferred Reso urce *, located within the Florin Project area, 60 km

northwest of Mayo County, Yukon Territory, Canada (Fig 1).

Figure 1: Location of Florin Gold Project

* The Florin Gold Project contains an inferred resour ce of 2,474,000 oz gold contained in 170,993,000 to nnes grading 0.45 g/t

with a cut-off of 0.30g/t, at a $1,650 gold price. For additional information, see the Technical Report prepared in accordance with

National Instrument 43-101 entitled Florin Gold Pro ject NI 43-101 Technical Report, Mayo and Dawson Mi ning Districts,

Yukon Territory, by Ronald G Simpson, P.Geo. of Geo Sim Services Inc., dated April 6, 2021, a copy of w ith is available under

the Company’s SEDAR profile.

The 16-member crew will oversee a diamond drill pro gram of up to 8,500 metres. The drill program is

aimed at expansion of the 2.47 million ounce inferr ed gold resource which is contained in 170,993,000

tonnes grading 0.45 g/t with a cut-off of 0.30 g/t * and sits on a northwest striking structure known a s the

Jethro Fault. Highlights of the proposed drilling campaign include:

 Mobilization of crew and the initiation of camp construction

 A drill program between 7,000 and 8,500 metres plan ned to increase the existing inferred gold

resource

 Priority step-out drill targets adjacent to existing resource

 Approximately 900 metres of a 5-kilometre structure drill-tested to date

 2021 soil geochemistry results better define 2022 drill targets

 Interpretation of the 2021 LiDAR survey to better define structural targets for the 2022 drill

program

The existing inferred resource is based on drilling approximately 900 metres along the strike of the f ault,

which has been traced for five kilometres and is th e site of three further, significant geochemical

anomalies. The planned program intends to drill up to 30 priority targets down to a depth of 400 metres in

two target areas:

1) Around the Treadwell Structure area in the East Zon e, adjacent to the inferred resource, where

gold in soil assays along with historic drill inter cepts and rock chip sampling assays from St

James’ 2021 field program returned high-grade gold results (see Company news release dated

April 29, 2022 and Figure 2).

2) In the anticipated, westerly on-strike extension of the existing inferred resource, and in the

vicinity of an historic drill hole, ICE10-028, assa ys from which returned 526m grading 0.75 g/t

Au (see Company news release dated April 29, 2022 and Figure 3).

Both these priority target areas support prior expl oration efforts wherein the Company traced the Jeth ro

Fault for more than five kilometres of which only 1 .2 kilometres has been partially drill tested showi ng

the current inferred resource sitting on an 875 metre section of the Fault.

George Drazenovic, CEO of St. James Gold comments , “We are launching the 2022 drill campaign to

prioritize the most prospective areas as informed b y an accumulation of data, including geochemical

work, geophysics and from previous exploration seas ons. Geological mapping, sampling, drilling and

geophysical work completed in prior seasons indicate expansion potential of the resource to the northwest

and southeast on the Jethro fault. Our key objectiv e for this season is to extend the footprint of the

inferred resource”.
