NEWS RELEASE
Provenance Gold Enters into Letter of Intent to Form Joint Venture for Development of Silver
Bow Property with Drilling to Commence in January and Announces Drill Ready Status at its
White Rock Property
December 7, 2020 – Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (FSE: 3PG) (the “Company” or “Provenance”) is
pleased to announce that the Company is now drill ready on its newly acquired White Rock property in
addition to its Silver Bow property, both in Nevada.
Provenance acquired the White Rock gold property in northeastern Nye County earlier this year and then
expanded the property to a total of 258 claims comprising 5,160 acres. This expansion resulted from a
new understanding of the gold system after review of historical drill logs and the Company’s field work.
This new understanding has identified what the Company anticipates being a major gold mineralization
system that starts at the surface. The Company believes the property hosts a large structurally controlled,
sediment-hosted gold system similar to the Black Pine mine in nearby Idaho. The property is now drill-
ready with the initial program designed to verify and expand on the historically identified gold zones, and
to confirm the new mineralization model.
Provenance also controls the Silver Bow property east of Tonopah, Nevada . Based on the Company’s
review of historic information, its subsequent field work and a new understanding of the extensive mineral
system, the Company believes Silver Bow contains a major zoned gold and silver system with large specific
exploration targets. Provenance has identified extensive areas of strong shallow gold and silver
mineralization within a large caldera and flow-dome related gold and silver system that is exposed on the
surface, plus additional deep high -grade targets. An initial staged drilling program has been prepared,
and this property is also drill-ready with a drill program planned to commence in January.
In addition, Provenance has signed a Letter o f Intent (the “LOI”) dated December 4th, 2020 with Palayan
Resources, Inc. (OTCMarkets: PLYN) (“Palayan”), a publicly trading, US fully reporting emerging growth
company. It is anticipated that Palayan and Provenance will form a Joint Venture in which Pala yan will
receive a 49.5% interest (the “ Palayan JV Interest”) upon funding of an initial 20-hole drill program on
Provenance’s Blue Horse property, within Silver Bow.
Rauno Perttu commented “We have worked diligently to get both these properties to the drill ready stage
and are exited to have the opportunity through funding from Palayan to begin drilling the Silver Bow
property in January. With the success of the Silver Bow drilling program, we should be in a good position
to drill the White Rock propert y shortly thereafter. We believe both properties have the likelihood to
contain large ore systems that will allow us to build a strong base for the longevity of the Company.”
Completion of the transaction contemplated by the LOI, and the funding of the drill program at Silver Bow
by Palayan, remains subject to ongoing due diligence and the negotiation of definitive documentation.

Rock property and Sil ver Bow property in addition to assay and other key exploration data @
