Roscan Gold Continues to Expand and

Remains Open - Intersects 4.13gpt over 10m

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2021) -
Roscan Gold Corporation
(TSXV: ROS) (FSE:
2OJ) (OTC Pink: RCGCF)
("Roscan" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce the positive drill
results at the Kandiole North discovery where the mineralized zone is expanding in size
(Figure 1 and
Figure 2)
.
We continue to increase depth extension and strike length at Kandiole North with high-grade
intercepts and the mineralized zones remain open. We have extended gold mineralization down to 92m
depth at Kandiole North
(Figure 3 and Figure 4)
.
The Kandiole North (KN1) gold mineralization trend appears to extend for 8km to Moussala (MO1)
(Figures 1 & 2)
and Kandiole North (KN2) gold mineralization trend appears to extend for 6km to
Kabaya
(Figures 1 & 2)
. Drilling at Kabaya is ongoing with the aim to connect these targets and expand
its current dimensions. Both Kabaya, Kandiole North and Moussala remains open along strike and
depth.
The mineralized corridor trends N020 with steep easterly dips but within the corridor, there are E-W
domains with steep north dipping quartz veins that carry the best gold grades
(Figure 6)
. On the section
(Figure 3)
, the mineralization appears to dip 45° NE but if these intersections correspond to E-W
domains
(Figure 7)
, then true widths are in the order of 20m and 10m for the two zones interpreted and
dips are about 65°N.

Nana Sangmuah, President and CEO, stated,
"Kandiole North has been returning some great results
and shaping up to be a key deposit for resource definition with 2km strike length and 92m depth and
remains open for further expansion along strike and at depth. Numerous holes ended in
mineralization clearly showing the potential at depth. We are confident that this resource will play a
crucial role in adding significant value to our company building on top of our flagship discoveries of
Mankouke South and Kabaya.
"The continued drilling success on our numerous regional targets is proving the potential to add
ounces from multiple targets on our large land package. We are also seeing encouraging results from
our other regional discoveries made in late 2020 including Walia and Moussala North and we look
forward to providing updates on those in the near future as more assays become available.
"The potential for numerous mineralized corridors on the property over long strike lengths is being
further validated by our recent regional exploration success and step out drilling outside of Mankouke
South with hole 89 released earlier this week, we are looking forward to sharing the full results of our
extensive geophysics survey in the coming weeks which will further show the clear regional potential
for a multi million oz mining camp at Kandiole."

At Kandiole North we continue to hit very good grades and increase the dimensions of the targets.
Hole RCKAN21-002 when coupled with previously high-grade drill holes, shows the persistent
nature of the resource and in fresh rock. Figures 3 and 4 clearly shows the mineralized zone
remains open at depth.

We are continuing to drill our flagship projects namely Mankouke South and Kabaya, and drilling is
also continuing on
regional targets
which are giving us some excellent results
.
- it is anticipated
we will follow up on expanding and growing key targets.
Geology
The gold mineralization at Kandiole Project is located approximately 25km east of the Fekola mine
(B2Gold Corp.). Gold mineralization in Kandiole Project occurs within hydrothermally altered and
sheared metasediments of the Kofi formation which include greywacke, limestone and diamictite.
KANDIOLE KN1
Kandiole North has been upgraded from target status to a confirmed zone of mineralization where
continuity both along strike and to depth exists.
We will continue to drill to build on this mineralization
from the initial round of drilling. KN1 alteration in the mineralized saprolite suggests a disseminated
pyrite + quartz vein deposit (Figure 5).
