DR. CRAIG HART RECEIVES THE J.C. SPROULE NORTHERN EXPLORATION AWARD
FOR EXCELLENCE IN NORTHERN EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT
Vancouver, B.C., May 5, 2023: SNOWLINE GOLD CORP. ( TSX-V: SGD) (OTC:
SNWGF) (the “ Company” or “ Snowline”) is pleased to congratulate Dr. Craig Hart,
Snowline’s Chair, for his receipt of the 2023 J.C. Sproule Northern Exploration Award from
the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM). The J.C. Sproule Award
is presented annually to an indiv idual or team “in recognition of eminent achievement or
distinguished contributions to the exploration and development of Canada’s mineral resources
in the northern regions. ” The award was presented on May 3 at the CIM Convention in
Montreal, Canada.
“On behalf of Snowline ’s team and our board, I would li ke to congratulate Craig on this
recognition of the significant contributions he has made to mineral exploration, both here in
the Yukon and beyond,” said Scott Berdahl, Snowline’s CEO & Director. “Our thanks are due
as well—prior to the creation of Snowli ne, Craig’s (then third party) research into reduced
intrusion-related gold systems was a direct driving factor in the identification and early
progression of the Rogue Project. Since Snowline’s launch, his input at the board level and his
mentorship of our technical team have proven in valuable to our corporate growth and our
exploration successes. We are fortunate to have Craig in our corner and thrilled to see this
broader recognition of the strong positive impact he has had on our industry.”

Dr. Hart was a founding member of the Yukon Geological Survey (YGS), where he worked on
regional mapping projects and characterized numerous mineral occurrences and discoveries
across the Yukon. While at the YGS, he developed the reduced intrusion -related gold system
(RIRGS) deposit model that characterizes mineral deposits such as Kinross’ “Fort Knox” in
Alaska, Victoria Gold’s “Eagle” in the Yukon, and most recently Snowline’s “Valley,” also in
the Yukon. After his work at the YGS, as a senior research fellow at the University of Western
Australia and as the Director of the University of British Columbia’s Mineral Deposit Research
Unit, Dr. Hart researched and oversaw research efforts on a wide range of deposit styles and
geological settings on six continents, alongside collaborators from both industry and academia.
Dr. Hart holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Western Australia, an MSc in Geology
from the University of British Columbia, and a BSc in Geology from McMaster University.
Long before his in volvement in RIRGS systems, coincidentally, Hart completed his
undergraduate honours thesis project mapping what is now Snowline Gold’s “Old Cabin”
target on the Rogue Project.
