NEWS RELEASE

Gold Lion Mobilizes Drill to South Orogrande Project

Vancouver, British Columbia / October 4 , 2021 – Gold Lion Resources Inc. (“Gold Lion ” or the

“Company”) (CSE: GL) (OTC: GLIOF) (FWB: 2BC) reports that the Dixie-Jumbo fire evacuation order

has been lifted and a core drilling rig has been mobilized to the Company’s South Orogrande Property near

Dixie, Idaho (“South Orogrande” or the “Property”) to test the newly -defined Horseshoe Bend target ,

delineated within the Property’s X Zone. Soil sampling, geological mapping and geophysical work carried

out over the past two field seasons has identified a strong gold- silver exploration target defined by the

strongest gold- and arsenic -in-soils anomaly on the Property. The well -defined soil anomaly , which

incorporates historic data, 2020 sampling and 2021 results which have not previously been released, flanks

the northeast side of the regional -scale Orogrande Shear Zo ne. The anomaly lies in a similar structural

setting to the adjacent Friday Mine, owned by Scandinavian company Endomines AB. Figures illustrating

the soil anomaly, IP geophysics and interpreted geological structures, including the Orogrande Shear Zone

and adjacent Friday deposit, can be found at the following link:

samples/

Three diamond drill holes are planned to test a conductive geophysical corridor underlying the soil anomaly

at the Horseshoe Bend target. The holes will be drilled from two pads, spaced 200 meters apart along a

forest service road. Two ~1,700-foot-long holes will be drilled to ward the southwest, underneath the

strongest portion of the soil anomaly and terminating at the Orogrande Shear Zone. One other hole will be

drilled in the opposite direction, targeting the northeast half of the geophysical anomaly which is overlain

by river gravels that could not be tested by soil sampling. Approximately 3,850 feet of drilling is planned

for the three holes at Horseshoe Bend . A table of planned hole collars is presented below. Note that the

current drill plan may be adjusted based on visual interpretations in the first holes drilled.

Erickson Ridge

The Company continues to await receipt of a drill permit on its nearby Erickson Ridge project and is in

frequent communication with the Minerals and Geology Managers at the Nez Perce Forest Service office.

If a drill permit is received for Erickson Ridge, some meters from the South Orogrande drill program may

be diverted to Erickson Ridge, to allow testing of high priority targets on that property as well.

Chris Paul, CEO, comments: “The major Dixie-Jumbo wildfire caused a significant delay to our exploration

plans on the Property this summe r. Drilling would have commenced sooner had it been safe to do so.

Regardless, we are grateful to now be carrying a drill program to test the prospective Horseshoe Bend

target, which is the culmination of two field seasons of groundwork on the Property. The similar structural

setting to the Friday deposit adds significant confidence to the target. The area being tested is just a small

portion of the overall geochemical anomaly and any success from this maiden drill program will ultimately

lead to a larger second phase of drilling.
