NEWS RELEASE

American Pacific Mining Announces Drilling Has Commenced at the Tuscarora Gold

Project, Nevada USA

VANCOUVER—Sept 16, 2019—American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD / FWB: 1QC / OTCPK: USGDF) (“APM” or

the “Company”) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Tuscarora Gold Project in Elko Nevada.

OceanaGold Corporation, operators at the project, have contracted National EWP out of Elko Nevada to reverse

circulation (“rc”) drill an approximate 4000 meters at the property, or around 10 holes.

“The upcoming drill campaign will primarily focus on following up the priority targets defined from the recent

CSAMT, gravity and geological mapping program s conducted by OceanaGold,” commented Eric Saderholm,

President & Director of APM. “Drilling will test targets east and west of the South Navajo Vein, which has numerous

historic drill holes. The Navajo vein dips to the west and the newly interpreted geophysical data indicate potential

parallel east-dipping structures which have never been realized or explored in the past.”

The below long section depicts a selection of intercepts from the South Navajo Vein’s previous drill campaign

highlights.

The Tuscarora District lies at the foot of

Mount Blitzen on the eastern slope of

the Northern Tuscarora Range . The

Property has a relatively low silver to

gold ratio and almost no base metals.

Tuscarora lies in the gold-rich, southern

portion of the District, and clearly

displays quartz-adularia v eins and

stockwork associated with the dacitic

intrusives and structures formed along

the southeast margin of Mount Blitzen.

This zone underwent local boiling and

shows widespread silicification and

adularization along with quartz -adularia

veins, stockwork veining, and vug -fills in

tuffs and fine -grained epiclastic rocks.

The silver -rich portion of the District

occurs immediately north of the project.

The State of Nevada is the USA’s top gold

producing state, producing 5.47 million

troy ounces of gold in 2016, 81% of the

US total (Source: Major Mines of Nevada,
