NEWS RELEASE
Prosper Gold Channel Samples 9.69 gpt Au over 3.0 m and Prepares for
Drilling at Skinner North, Golden Sidewalk Project
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 7th, 20 22 – Prosper Gold Corp. (" Prosper Gold " or the
"Company") (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to report channel sampling results from the Skinner North prospect
and identification of exploration targets at the Skinner Target Area. The Skinner Target Area is 4 kilometres
northwest of the Golden Corridor (Figure 1) and was identified by prospecting and 2021-2022 till sampling
results. The Company completed stripping, channel sampling, and ground magnetics at the Skinner North
for which all results have been received.
Highlights
• Skinner Target Area is 2 x 3 km prospective area with limited outcropping bedrock
• Exposed a 6 to 12 metre wide shear zone for over 40 meters, open to east and west
• Channel sampling results include 9.69 gpt Au over 3 metres and 13.13 gpt Au over 1.8 metres
• Additional exploration targets identified for immediate follow-up
“These channel samples are the highest -grade rock samples found to date by our team at the Golden
Sidewalk Project,” commented Peter Bernier, CEO. “Prospecting, till sampling, and geophysics brought us
to this area of the project, and we have spent the summer advancing this target to a drill ready state. We
will commence drilling in the coming weeks.”

Exploration at the Skinner North target area
Beginning in June 2020, the Company has been defining exploration targets at the Skinner North target
area. The Skinner North target area is characterized as a series of east-west trending faults and shears with
strong alteration and local gold mineralization. The fau lts and shears are axial planar to kilometre -scale,
east-northeast plunging folds. Initial rock sampling results by Prosper Gold at the Skinner North showing
in 2020 include 16.3 g/t gold and 13.7 g/t gold from east-west trending quartz veins that were only partially
exposed during historical hand pitting.
The results from till sampling completed in late 2021 outlined a 3 -kilometre gold grain-in-till train with
individual samples containing up to 1,014 gold grains. The presence of glacially deposited sand covering
much of the area in this part of the Project posed a challenge to the collection of representative till samples,
with field crews collecting basal till samples where possible.
Stripping and Channel Sampling at the Skinner North Prospect
Stripping, washing and sampling of an area roughly 25 x 50 metres has identified a strongly iron-carbonate
± silica ± biotite altered shear zone with multiple mineralized quartz -carbonate vei n sets, with veins
measuring up to 1 m in width (Figures 2 & 3). Sulphide mineralization is predominantly pyrite with lesser
chalcopyrite, within quartz-carbonate veins and silicified wallrock. Shear-hosted veins trend between 270°
and 300° and dip at -80° to -65° to the north.

Channel sampling was completed after excavated stripping and high pressure washing of bedrock. The
presence of thickening sand overburden to the west and of a water -laden swamp to the east -southeast
prevented crews from further exposing the gold-bearing shear zone.

Additional Exploration Targets Outlined at Skinner Target Area
A high-resolution ground magnetic survey covering approximately 860 hectares was completed by field
crews in July and August of 2022. The objective of the geophysical survey was to identify fault structures
that may have played a role in localizing hydrothermal fluid flow which locally may be associated with
gold mineralization. The survey was completed at 50 -metre line spacings to maximize resolution and
definition. Bedrock in this area of the Golden Sidewalk Project is largely obscured by glacial sand and till
deposits.
Given the association with the “D2” regional deformation event and gold mineralization in the Red Lake
and Birch Uchi greenstone belts, al ong with field observations, the Company is pleased to recognize a
number of east-west to west-northwest interpreted fault structures and systems associated with northwest
conjugate faults (Figure 4). As is commonly the case in structurally controlled gold systems, intersection
- 6 -
of faults can result in dilatancy which is conducive to hydrothermal fluid flux and can focus gold deposition.
A number of exploration targets have been identified where the coincidence of favourable fault trends
and/or fault intersections correspond spatially with areas of apparent magnetite destruction, represented as
magnetic lows.

About the Golden Sidewalk
The Golden Sidewalk is a district -scale gold exploration project covering over 160 square kilometres of
contiguous mineral claims and mining leases (see the Company's Aug. 10, Sept. 8, and Sept. 15, 2020 news
releases for details) in the western Birch -Uchi Greenstone Belt, approximately 60 km east of Red Lake,
Ontario. The vehicle-accessible project straddles 12 kilometres of the Balmer Assemblage – Narrow Lake
Assemblage unconformity, a regional-scale feature that has been the Red Lake exploration guide, but which
has seen limited exploration in the project area. The “Golden Corridor” lies immediately north of the
unconformity and is characterized as a highly prospective trend of coincident favourable magnetic and
resistivity lineaments supported by highly anomalous gold-in-till samples covering 7.0 by 0.5 kilometres.
An additional highly prospective target area was defined in 2021, termed the Skinner North Target Area,
where rock samples up to 16.3 g/t gold and till samples containing up to 1,014 gold grain s have not been
followed up with drilling.
QA/QC Procedures
The location of channel samples w as designed by the on -site geologist and were cut in cleaned bedrock
with gas powered rock -saws by field personnel. Channel samples were cut to medial depths of 2.5 to 3”
and medial widths of 2”. Sample interval lengths were between 0.5 and 1.5 metres. Quality assurance and
quality control measures implemented by the Company include the insertion of certified reference materials
in the sample sequence at a rate of 1 in 20 for both blank material and certified reference standards.
Analytical results for reference standard and blank samples are scrutinized internally to ensure adequate
analytical precision and accuracy in both sample preparation and instrumental proc edures. A chain of
custody is strictly monitored to ensure sample and analytical integrity and reliability. Channel samples are
sent to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario, where they are analyzed in 50 -gram aliquots using
Fire-Assay with ICP-OES finish. Any overlimit analyses (>10 g/t Au) are re-analyzed with a pulp metallic
screen method designed to give the most accura te representation of gold concentration in each sample.
AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, ON, is an accredited testing laboratory having been assessed by the
Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and found to conform with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
