News Release

NORTH ARROW STARTS TILL SAMPLING AND GROUND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS

AT PIKOO DIAMOND PROJECT, SASKATCHEWAN

October 13, 2022 Trading Symbol: TSXV: NAR #22-05

North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV-NAR) (“North Arrow”) is pleased to report that crews have been mobilized to start an

exploration till sampling and ground geophysical survey program at its 100% owned Pikoo Diamond Project, located

approximately 140 km east of La Ronge, Saskatchewan.

Till sampling is intended to better def ine several unsourced kimberlite indicator mineral train s and to test previously

unsampled areas down-ice of priority potential kimberlite targets generated from a recent review of project datasets. North

Arrow’s kimberlite discoveries at Pikoo, including the highly diamondiferous PK150 kimberlite, have shown that till sampling

is a n effective exploration tool in th is area and positive kimberlite indicator mineral results from this program would

immediately position these new targets as a priority for drill testing in 2023. Ground magnetic surveys will also be completed

over land-based targets, along with preparatory line cutting in advance of an exploration drill program next year.

About the Pikoo Diamond Project

The Pikoo Diamond Project consists of 39,752 hectares of

mineral claims located approximately 140 km east of La Ronge,

Saskatchewan. An all -season road and power line to the

community of Deschambault Lake comes to within 6 km of the

project’s so uthern boundary. North Arrow has discovered 10

kimberlite occurrences within the project area and microdiamond

testing of five of the kimberlites has confirmed they are

diamondiferous. All kimberlites have been discovered at or near

the up -ice termination of well -defined kimberlite indicator

mineral trains. Detailed petrography of the kimberlites in

conjunction with diamond results, mineral abundances and

detailed till sampling information indicate that additional, as yet

undiscovered kimberlites are located within the project area.

Details on diamond recoveries and past exploration efforts can be

found at North Arrow’s website here.

North Arrow’s exploration program s are conducted under the

direction of Kenneth Armstrong, P.Geo ., President and CEO of

North Arrow and a Qualified Person under NI 43 -101. Mr.

Armstrong has reviewed and approved the technical contents of

this press release.
