SIXTY NORTH GOLD CLEARS ANOTHER HURDLE TO PRODUCTION AS
EQUIPMENT NOW MOBILIZED TO MON GOLD MINE, NWT
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- (Newsfile Corp. – April 2, 2026) Sixty North Gold
Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY, FKT: 2F40, OTC-Pink: SXNTF) (the “Company” or “Sixty
North Gold”) is pleased to provide an update on its plan to commence gold production
this year on its wholly-owned Mon Gold Mine, Yellowknife, NWT.
All of our equipment has successfully been mobilized to the Mon Gold Mine site north of
Yellowknife by winter road, as planned. We are within our budgeted expenditures to
date, had no lost time accidents or environmental incidents. Importantly, all of the
residual material from our burned camp, spent batteries and miscellaneous garbage has
been removed from site and disposed of at authorized facilities in Yellowknife. We
appreciate the efforts of our contractors and subcontractors during this significant event.

Dave Webb, President & CEO reports “Mobilizing all supplies to site allows Sixty North
Gold to move the Mon Gold Mine towards production again. Regulatory reporting
continues to be a significant component of our efforts as we prepare to commence mill
construction and start operations at the permitted 100 tpd design rate, planned to
commence this summer. We expect to be extracting gold-bearing vein material from
four stopes developed on the second level below the historic stopes that produced at an
average gold grade of 30 gpt. Continued development to depth is planned.

About the Company
Sixty North Gold is developing mining operations for gold on its 100-per-cent-owned
Mon Gold Project. Mining in the 1990’s extracted 15,000 tonnes of ore to depths of only
15 metres below surface, recovering an estimated 15,000 ounces of gold (Company
Technical Report NI 43-101, August 3, 2023 on SEDAR+ or
https://sixtynorthgold.com/projects/technical-report/). Recently, underground
development has intersected the productive A-Zone 17 m below the historic stopes. A
newly discovered zone, the DD-Zone is exposed in the main ramp. The company plans
to develop and mine stopes in the East Limb, West Limb and DD Zone and to extend
the ramp to allow for the development of deeper levels.
The silver-rich VMS deposits (https://sixtynorthgold.com/projects/volcanogenic-massive-
sulphide-vms-deposits/), the large shear zone-hosted gold targets
(https://sixtynorthgold.com/projects/shear-zones/), and the critical-element-enriched
IOCG-style mineralization (https://sixtynorthgold.com/projects/iocg-target/) will be
explored and developed as warranted.
The Yellowknife gold camp hosts two mines that averaged 30 gpt gold or better
(Discovery Mine with one million ounces of gold produced, and Sixty North Gold’s Mon
Mine), and two that averaged 15 gpt or better for a total production of over 14 million
ounces of gold (Con Mine and Giant Mine); (ref. Company Technical Report NI 43-101,
August 3, 2023). The Yellowknife Gold Belt is an historic gold producing camp where
all of the mines commenced production at <100 tpd. Yellowknife has the people,
services and experience to bring this Archean gold belt back to life.
