Indigo Exploration Commences Drilling on Multiple 1-2km Long Gold Trends on Djimbala, Mali

Exploration Programs

July 29, 2021 - Vancouver, British Columbia. Indigo Exploration Inc. (the “ Company”) (TSX-V: IXI, FSE:

INE) announces that it has commenced an aircore drilling program over the multiple 1-2-kilometre-long gold

trends that were identified from its auger drilling program over the artisanal workings/gold targets on the Djimbala

Permit in southern Mali, West Africa.

The Djimbala Permit is situated in the Yanfolila Gold Belt and lies immediately east of Hummingbird Resources’

0.7 million oz Au Komana gold mine 1, 21 kilometres north, along strike, of the Kodieran gold mine and 28

kilometres north, along strike, from Endeavour’s high grade 3.3 million oz Au Kalana project 2 (see Figure 1

below).

A 4,800 metre, 95-hole aircore drilling program has commenced in a series of roughly 50m deep angled drill holes

crossing gold trends identified on the Forela and Djilinfing areas. The trends are supported by auger, soil and rock

sampling with associated artisanal workings. These trends are between 50-460m wide, clustered within a 2km-by-

2km area, providing an attractive exploration opportunity.

As of July 27, 2021, 43 holes totalling 1,717 metres were drilled over 4 days comprising 36% of an expanded

4,800 metre aircore program. Drilling is progressing well as we work to complete the program now that the rainy

season has commenced. The aircore drilling program is supervised by Mr. Tom Henricksen, PhD., VP Exploration

and director for the Company and Qualified Person for the program. Samples are collected for every metre drilled

and will be delivered to SGS, an international analytical company, for determining gold content. Industry standard

quality control and quality assurance protocols will be followed in handling, sampling and shipping the samples.

Gold standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted into the sample sets every 10 samples.
