TORONTO
,
Sept. 16, 2021
/CNW/ -
Treasury Metals Inc.
(TSX: TML) (OTCQX: TSRMF) ("
Treasury
" or the "
Company
") is
pleased to announce gold results from an additional 3,150 metres from 14 holes of a planned 30,000 metre diamond drilling
program for 2021 at the Goldlund Gold Deposit ("Goldlund") located within the larger 100% owned Goliath Gold Complex (the
"Project" or "GGC"), which includes the Goliath, Goldlund and Miller deposits along a prospective 65-kilometre trend in
Northwestern Ontario
.
In addition, the Company is also pleased to announce that the first batch of silver results have been received, confirming the
presence of silver at Goldlund. Previously, Goldlund had not been known for silver mineralization and little testing for silver had
been completed. As part of the 2021 drill program, the Company began analyzing drill core for silver, as its presence could
represent an additional revenue opportunity for Goldlund and the greater Project as a whole.
The Company has drilled approximately 20,000 metres (108 holes) to date at Goldlund. With assay results released today,
gold assay results are pending on more than 5,750 metres (28 holes). Of the program to date, 88 holes have been drilled
within the preliminary PEA resource, with 20 holes exploring targets outside of, and along strike of, the Goldlund Deposit.
Jeremy Wyeth
, President and CEO of Treasury Metals, commented: "The drill results released today continue to illustrate solid
intersections of mineralization, increasing our understanding of the geological controls at Goldlund. We are particularly
encouraged by the results from the silver assays received from the drilling at Goldlund. Currently in the PEA, there is no
contemplation of the recovery of silver at Goldlund. The results today represent an opportunity for further improvements to the
economics of the Goliath Gold Complex through the potential from additional silver revenues over the life of the Project."

Gold results returned in September include infill holes on Zone 4, exploration on Zone 5 and two exploration holes targeting the
edge of known mineralization.
The first targets on Zone 5 of the drill program show promising results with all four holes returning elevated gold values in the
zone of mineralization. Hole GL-21-065 intersected 1.10 g/t Au over 20.30 metres, including 13.90 g/t over 0.90 metres and
3.32 g/t Au over 1.00 metre; GL-21-066 intersected 6.79 g/t Au over 5.00 metres, including 21.00 g/t Au over 1.00 metre, 5.45
g/t Au over 1.00 metre and 4.20 g/t Au over 1.00 metre; GL-21-064 intersected 0.51 g/t Au over 13.60 metres, including 1.99
g/t Au over 2.00 metres; and GL-21-067 intersected 0.41 g/t Au over 34.00 metres, including 3.21 g/t Au over 1.00 metre.
These drillholes are on the edge, and just outside, of the PEA pit and represent potential opportunity for future expansion.
Drilling on Zone 4 continues to show mineralization in the footwall (the North side) of the main PEA Pit where GL-21-030
intersected 0.46 g/t Au over 40.80 metres, including 3.59 g/t over 1.00 metre, 1.06 g/t Au over 5.00 metres and 0.95 g/t Au
over 4.00 metres; GL-21-035 intersected 0.89 g/t over 40.50 metres, including 6.28 g/t over 1.10 metres, 13.10 g/t Au over
0.95 metres and 10.00 g/t Au over 0.79 metres; and GL-21-044 intersected 0.76 g/t Au over 32.00 metres, including 3.81 g/t
Au over 1.10 metres, 5.48 g/t Au over 1.10 metres and 6.28 g/t Au over 1.00 metres. Drilling targeting the south edge of Zone
3 strengthened our understanding of the cross faulting at Goldlund. The granodiorite body controlling mineralization on the two
Northeastern pits appears to pinch out narrowing mineralization.

Complete results from the 2020/2021 drill program at Goldlund can be found
here
on the Treasury Metals website.
The exploration program has been designed to ensure the safety of the workforce and surrounding communities during the
COVID-19 pandemic and incorporates enhanced operating protocols that are consistent with local health guidance.
QA / QC
The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of
all exploration work is conducted in accordance with the CIM Exploration Best Practices Guidelines. The drill core is sawn in
half with one-half of the core sample dispatched to Activation Laboratories Ltd. facility located in
Dryden, Ontario
. The other
half of the core is retained for future assay verification and/or metallurgical testing. Other QA/QC procedures include the
insertion of blanks and Canadian Reference Standards for every tenth sample in the sample stream. A quarter core duplicate is
assayed every 20
th
sample. The laboratory has its own QA/QC protocols running standards and blanks with duplicate samples
in each batch stream. Additional checks are routinely run on anomalous values including gravimetric analysis and pulp metallic
screen fire assays. Gold analysis is conducted by lead collection, fire assay with atomic absorption and/or gravimetric finish on
a 50-gram sample. Check assays are conducted at a secondary ISO certified laboratory (in this case AGAT Laboratories
located in
Mississauga, Ontario
) following the completion of a program.

"strategy", "goals", "objectives", or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would",
"might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions. Actual results
or developments may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. Treasury disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, save and except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
Since forward-looking information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks.
These include, but are not limited to, exploration and production for precious metals; delays or changes in plans with respect
to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of resource estimates; health, safety and
environmental risks; worldwide demand for gold and base metals; gold price and other commodity price and exchange rate
fluctuations; environmental risks; competition; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; ability to access sufficient
capital from internal and external sources; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties and
environmental regulations.
Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-
looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking
information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits may be derived therefrom and accordingly, readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking information.
Note to United States Investors
All resource estimates included in this press release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards, which
differ in some respects from
United States
standards. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
terms "inferred mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources"
that may be used or referenced are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43 101 –
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the "CIM Standards"). The CIM Standards
differ significantly from standards in
the United States
. While the terms "mineral resource," "measured mineral resources,"
"indicated mineral resources," and "inferred mineral resources" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they
are not defined terms under standards in
the United States
. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty
as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part
of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of
inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Readers are cautioned not to
assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Readers are
also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally
mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however,
United States
companies are only permitted to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by standards in
the
United States
as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information regarding
resources contained or referenced in this [name of disclosure document] containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may
not be comparable to similar information made public by
United States
companies.
