Corporate Updates

ST. JAMES GOLD PROVIDES UPDATE ON FLORIN GOLD PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia, July 27th, 2022 - St. James Gold Corp. (the “ Company” or “St. James”)

(TSXV: LORD) (OTCQB: LRDJF) (FSE: BVU3) is pleased to announce that it has received access to

diamond drill core, drill logs and assay data from previous drill campaigns at the Florin Project located 60

km northwest of Mayo, Yukon Territor y, Canada which is host to the Florin Inferred Gold Resource of

2,474,000 oz gold contained in 170,993,000 tonnes grading 0.45 g/t with a cut-off of 0.30g/t1 (the “Florin

Inferred Resource”).

Highlights of Assay Data

• A new Zone , delineated by St James 20 21 work, several hundred metres outside of the existing

Florin Inferred Resource with a geochemical and geophysical footprint of approximately 2 km x 1

km, larger by 3x than the geochemical footprint of the existing Florin Inferred Resource.

• Five previously unreported, 2003-2004 diamond drill holes and assays from this area have recently

been recovered, and results will be released when verified

• Data for many additional holes is expected to be recovered, and cores will be re -logged and

assayed given the more than 500% increase in gold price since 2003.

St. James has received access to the laboratory assay certificates and the drill core pertaining to several

core holes drilled in 2003-2004. Details are anticipated for additional drill holes, with results to be released

when verified. At that time the av erage price of gold ranged between USD 364 - USD 410 per ounce Au

and only multi-gram gold drill intercepts were considered to be of economic interest. . Verification of the

data obtained will be carried out, with results to be released following verification.

Both prior to and during 2021, the Treadwell area was the target of soil sampling programs by St James

that show a one kilometre by two -kilometre gold in soil anomaly . The historic holes fall within the

Treadwell North area which is located 400 metres from the edge of the Florin Inferred Resource Whittle

pit-shell.

During the 2021 season, diamond coring hole DDH 21-068 targeted the periphery of the Treadwell North

and returned mineralization down the length of the hole ( see St. James’ News Release dated April 12 th,

2022). In the same general area, the Treadwell Adits returned multi-gram gold 15.8 g/t Au, 11.15 g/ t Au

and 14.85 g/t Au values from grab samples taken during 2021 (St. James’ News Release dated April 29th,

2022 and Figure 1)*.

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