LA DAMA de ORO GOLD Update
VANCOUVER – March 23, 2026, Providence Gold Mines Inc. (“Providence” or the
“Company”) announces that the Company has completed the first stage of its comprehensive
stockpile and underground sampling of the La Dama de Oro gold and silver property, located
southeast of Ontario, California. The sampling was overseen and delivered to the l ab by
Providence’s California-registered geologist, Mark Payne P.Geo. #7067 under the guidance
of the Company’s Qualified Person under NI 43 101 Dr. Lee Groat.

This first phase of sampling was designed to evaluate the best potential for our planned 1,000-
ton (909 tonne) permitted bulk sample. This initial phase of sampling included the following:
• 121 ft (37 m) of continuous trench sampling across three unprocessed rock piles at the
4300-ft Level (1310 mL) of the Mojave Girl Vein workings.
• Channel samples were collected at intervals across the full 180 ft (55 m) width of the
Mojave Girl Vein at the 4180- ft Level (1275 mL), the lowest level of mining, to test the
down-dip extension of the historic high-grade ore chute.
The Company is excited and very optimistic about the potential of the visible lode zones (see
the attached link to review pictures) of the accessible underground stopes at La Dama de Oro.
The accessed underground lode zones appear to have similar characteristics to other known
orogenic-type gold-quartz vein systems such as those of the Mother Lode Gold Belt mines of
northern California.
An under-explored system of both E -W and N-S trending gold-quartz lodes is evident at the
La Dama De Oro property. Historic high- grade gold production was derived from three
separate E-W striking lodes, the Mojave Girl, Tarantula, and Mojave Boy veins. The Tarantula,
Mojave Boy, and strike extensions of the Mojave Girl lode have not yet been evaluated by the
Providence team. The N-S trending lodes were not systematically prospected or developed in
the past. They are strongly mineralized and remain excellent exploration targets, particularly
at locations where they project to intersect or join the productive E-W striking lodes. In addition
to the above, a zone of sheeted vein stockworks with visible mineralization was discovered on
the adjoining mountainside; further work is being planned to determine the significance of the
new discovery.
The samples have been delivered to American Assay Labs of Sparks, Nevada for either 1000-
gram screened metallic fire assay and or 30-gram conventional fire assay analyses. The
expected turn-around time for analytical results is less than three weeks.
The Property:
The La Dama de Oro gold property is a historic high-grade gold producer. Permits are
in hand for water, roads, environment, mill site, operations plan, and a 1,000-ton bulk
sample. Presently, the Property has had no drilling and is currently undergoing modern-day
scientific exploration which provides an excellent untapped opportunity to identify NI 43 101
compliant resources.
The largest mined vein (Mojave Girl) is 5 ft at its widest point and remains open both down-
dip and for over 6,000 ft along strike. The gold system has potential not just within the La
Dama de Oro and Tarantula and other known veins but as well for additional discoveries.
