Outback Goldfields Commences Airborne Geophysical Survey over

Yeungroon Project

(

CSE:OZ, FSE:S600 Pink Sheets:OZBKF)

VANCOUVER, BC

March 2, 2021

/CNW/ -

Outback Goldfields Corp

. (the "

Company

" or "

Outback

") (CSE: OZ) (FSE: S600) (Pink Sheets: OZBKF) is

pleased to announce the start of a large airborne geophysical survey over the prospective Yeungroon project, central

Victoria, Australia

. The high-

resolution, 8,000 line kilometre magnetic and radiometric survey marks an important step in Outback's plans to systematically advance the Yeungroon

project and refine exploration targets.

We are excited to fly this geophysical survey over our Yeungroon Project. The high-resolution geophysical data will help our technical team identify

and define new areas along the Golden Jacket fault, such as offsets or splays, as well as key property-scale structures in the Wedderburn area, worthy

of detailed follow-up. The execution of this survey is a significant first step in our plan to rigorously define new drill targets in the Yeungroon area,

heart of the Victorian Goldfields

" stated

Chris Donaldson

, CEO.

The Yeungroon geophysical survey is running concurrently with Outback's previously announced 4,000 metre drill program at the Glenfine Project, 160

kilometers south of Yeungroon (see Outback's news release dated

February 16

, 2021 on

SEDAR.com

Yeungroon Project

The 698 km

Yeungroon project is transected by the north-trending, crustal-scale Avoca Fault which separates the western Stawell Zone from the

Eastern Bendigo Zone. The western side of the Yeungroon project contains the historic Golden Jacket hard-rock reef mine associated with the regional-

scale, northwest-trending Golden Jacket fault. Historic mining records indicate the Golden Jacket mine produced quartz-rich ore with grades of up to 250

g/t Au (VICMINE Report ID 373410*), however the vertical and lateral extent of mineralization has yet to be tested by drilling.

The Eastern side of the project is underlain by Ordovician rocks of the Castlemaine Group and comprises the northern extent of the Wedderburn goldfield

where numerous small-scale, historic alluvial and hard-rock mines are located. Previous exploration in these areas by Petratherm Pty. identified numerous

untested, north-trending arsenic-in-soil anomalies considered prospective for reef-hosted gold mineralization (see

PTR.ASX announcement

dated

March

, 2020**).

The structural architecture of the deformed bedrock on both sides of the Avoca fault remains largely undefined due to widespread post-mineralization

cover rocks. Data, from the property-scale, airborne geophysical survey will assist with structural interpretation of both target areas and will form the

basis for follow-up ground-based geophysical and geochemical surveys.

Geophysical Survey

Outback has retained Thomson Airborne to collect over 8,000 line kilometers of fixed-wing, magnetic and radiometric data (Figure 1). The survey will be

flown on east-west oriented lines spaced 100 metres apart.

Community Engagement

Outback recognizes the importance of open and honest community engagement in all our exploration activities. We approach all our exploration activities

in a sustainable manner and ensure our activities comply with the Victorian Code of Practice for Mineral Exploration. As such, community consultation

with local landowners has commenced.

Data Verification

Data disclosed in this News Release relating to sampling and drilling results is historical in nature. Neither the Company nor a qualified person has yet

verified this data and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such data. In some cases, the data may be unverifiable due to lack of drill

core. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby and/or geologically similar properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the

Company's property. The technical information disclosed in this News Release has been reviewed and approved by
