Vancouver, British Columbia --(Newsfile Corp. - January 29, 2021) – Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE:
SXTY; FKT: 2F4; OTC-Pink: SXNTF) (the “Company” or “Sixty North Gold”)
Winter Road Construction Commences
Sixty North Gold is pleased to announce that construction of the winter road to the Mon Property has
commenced. The southern portion of the road to Bluefish Lake owned and operated by the Northwest
Territories Power Corporation is 19.5 km long and is a portion of our overall 45 km road.
“Dave Webb, President and CEO states , “Installation of the winter road is a critical milestone for the
Company as it will be used to haul all of the heavy supplies and equipment to the property so mining can
commence this spring. The Company intends to execute on its plan to bulk sample deeper mineralization
in the A-Zone, 20 m below the stopes that had been mined in the past. Responsible mining is an important
focus for the Northwest Territories , and has been designated an essential service. The government has
instituted important initiatives to support the mining sector , including direct grants for approved
exploration programs. The multi-million dollar underground program commencing on the Mon Property
will hopefully lead to further development. Only Yellowknife-based suppliers and contractors will be used
to install and maintain the road.”

About the Company
Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. is commencing restarting the high-grade past producing Mon Mine, 40 kms
north of Yellowknife, NWT, within the prolific Yellowknife Gold Camp. Crews will be mobilized to the
property after all of the equipment has been placed on the property. Extending an existing ramp an
additional 200 m will provide access to the A -Zone, 20 m below the previous stopes. The Mon Gold
Property consists of 11 contiguous mining leases and 3 mineral claims, comprising an aggregate 622
hectares, located in the South Mackenzie Mining District, NWT. The Mon Mine produced 15,000 ounces
of gold from 15,000 tonnes of ore between 1989 and 1997. Permits to explore, mine and mill at 100 tpd
are in place, and the Mon is the only gold project permitted for production in the NWT. Other targets on
the property include recently discovered silver and gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets,
as well as shear zone-hosted gold mineralization. The shear zones are similar in nature to, and hosted in
the same rocks as, the world-class deposits at the Con and Giant Mines in Yellowknife which produced 14
million oz. gold.
The Company also has an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the highly prospective
contiguous 2,394 hectare Hangstone Property adjoining the Mon Property to the East and South. The Mon
Property shear zone and VMS targets can be projected onto the Hangstone Property.
