Snowline GOLD Mobilizes Drill to Einarson GOLD Project, Yukon Territory
SNOWLINE GOLD MOBILIZES DRILL TO EINARSON GOLD PROJECT, YUKON
TERRITORY
• Drilling to commence at Jupiter zone, a 3-km-long regional-scale structure
• Targeting source of kilometre-long boulder train grading to 25.2 g/t Au
• 3,000 metres-plus diamond drilling across Eianarson and Rogue projects in 2021
Vancouver, B.C., June 16, 2021 SNOWLINE GOLD CORP. (CSE: SGD) (US OTC:
SNWGF) (the “Company” or “Snowline”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drill
mobilization to the Company’s 61,000 hectare Einarson gold project in the Yukon Territory,
Canada. Initial drilling will test the newly defined Jupiter zone (formerly “Mars NE”) , a 3-
kilometre long by up to 500-metre-wide area of anomalous gold -in-soil values accompanied
by a prominent float train of mineralized quartz boulders. These boulders commonly assay
between 1 and 7 g/t Au, to a maximum of 25.2 g/t Au.
“We are very excited to begin drilling at Jupiter,” said Scott Berdahl, COO and Director of
Snowline. “ Our first-ever drill programme will build on several campaigns of mineral
discovery and target-defining exploration. The broad areal extent, high grade surface samples,
and geological similarities to large epizonal gold deposits make Jupiter a very prospective
target.”
The geological setting and style of mineralization at Jupiter suggest the presence of a shallow
orogenic gold system, with possible similarities to Newfound Gold’s Queensway project or
Kirkland Lake’s Fosterville Mine. Geochemical similarities between mineralization at Jupiter
and nearby Carlin-style gold deposits suggest mineralization may be genetically related.
2021 Drill Campaign
Early-season technical work by Snowline Gold’s team suggests that the gold occurrences at
Jupiter are associated with an extensive regional structure. Mineralization has been identified
over more than a kilometer , with a mineralized float train stretching 3 km (see Figure 1) . A
1,500 metre Phase I diamond drilling program is designed to intersect the mineralization with
a series of shallow, 200-300 metre deep holes.
Phase II drilling will build upon the surface exploration and drill results from Jupiter. An
additional 1,500 metres is budgeted to test other targets across the Einarson property and on
Snowline’s nearby Rogue property.
Surface Exploration Strategy
Prospecting at Einarson in late 2020 discovered a mineralized float train similar to Jupiter along
a major structural corridor ~12 kilometres to the south, with grab samples up to 34.2 g/t Au.
This new zone, Avalanche Creek, demonstrate s the regional scope of the occurrence of this
style of m ineralization. Extensive prospecting is planned along favourable structures at
Einarson. A concurrent a program of trenching, mapping, drone surveying and geochemical
sampling is underway at Jupiter to provide additional context for Phase I drill results and to aid
in targeting the Phase II drilling.

three source areas have been identified for the mineralization in the float train, and
Phase I drilling will test two of these zones. Jupiter is part of a larger structural zone that
includes the Mars and Avalanche Creek prospects in the southern part of the Einarson
property.
At Rogue, prospecting in the Valley zone this season has already encountered abundant
sulphide veining across a 250-metre traverse, about 600 m etres from where similar gold -
bearing sulphide veins with historic grab sample assays of up to 152.0 g/t Au occur with visible
gold. Assays for th ese new samples are pending. Extensive mapping, geochemical sampling,
prospecting and a drone -based aerial magnetic survey will be conducted at Rogue to solidify
targets for a first-ever diamond drill program in the Valley and/or Gracie zones.

ABOUT SNOWLINE GOLD CORP.
Snowline Gold Corp. is a Yukon Territory focused gold exploration company with a 7-project
portfolio covering over 90,000 ha. The Company is exploring its flagship 72,000 ha Einarson
and Rogue gold projects in the prospective yet underexplored Selwyn Basin , with drilling
expected to commence in June 2021. Snowline’s projects all lie in the prolific Tintina Gold
Province that hosts multiple million -ounce-plus gold mines and deposits, from Kinross’ Fort
Knox mine to Newmont’s Coffee deposit. Snowline’s first mover claim position represents a
unique opportunity to explore and expand a new greenfield, district-scale gold system.
