Gaia Metals Corp. Expands Land Package Following Phase I Surface

Exploration at the Freeman Creek Property, Idaho, USA

Vancouver, September 2 nd , 20 20 – Gaia Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V:

GMC) (OTCQB: RGDCF) (FSE: R9G) is pleased to announce that it has expanded the

Freeman Creek Property (the “Property”) claim position by more than 40% though the

staking of an additional 30 claims totalling 263 ha (~650 acres). The Property, located

near Salmon, ID, USA, now comprises 106 claims totalling approximately 862 ha (~2,131

acres) and is accessible via paved highway and a network of gravel roads and trails (See

Figure below).

The expansion of the Property was initiated part way through the Company’s recently

completed Phase I surface exploration program (see news release dated August 31 st,

2020). The surface program identified potentially mineralized extensions to the Carmen

Creek Prospect in the northeast area of the Property , as well as a promising field

assessment immediately adjacent to the original claim border at the Gold Dyke Prospect

in the southwestern area of the Property.

In the Carmen Creek area, the Phase I program located the site of an historical mill from

the early 1900s as well as numerous adits and blast pits. Limited documentation exists

regarding the Carmen Creek mining operation from this period ; however, the Phase I

exploration of the area has identified historical adit and blast activity extend ing for at

least 1 km in strike length and prompted the acquisition of the additional ground. There

are no records of the Carmen Creek Prospect having been drill tested.

The Company is currently awaiting sample assays for its Phase I surface exploration

program over the Property with planning underway for a Phase II drill program.
