Rackla Metals Commenced Drilling on Flagship Astro Project,

Western Northwest Territories, Canada

Vancouver, British Columbia – July 6, 2023 – Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) (the "Company") is pleased to

announce that drilling commenced at the Radio target at the Company’s flagship Astro project, located in

the Tombstone Gold Belt, Northwest Territories as part of the maiden 3000m drill program.

Initial drilling will focus on the intrusive body that underlies a large 1,200m by 750m strong

Gold/Bismuth/Arsenic anomaly hosted in the soils and talus fines of a broad valley. Recent mapping in the

vicinity of the anomaly where there is limited outcrop, has defined numerous areas of sheeted

Quartz/Arsenopyrite veining trending 30 degrees. The drilling at Radio will use this mapping to orient initial

drill holes.

Scott Casselman, VP Exploration, commented: “With drill targets delineated , construction of a series of

drill pads well ahead of the drill and drilling underway, our team is focussed on discovery. Our crews are

finding good exposure in the Astro intrusive body and are observing significant structural information from

surface mapping. The drill will be targeting recently discovered sheeted quartz-arsenopyrite veining.”
