NEWS RELEASE

American Pacific Mining Receives Final Permits and Plans Drill Program at the

Gooseberry Silver-Gold Project in Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia / August 30, 2021 - American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD /

OTCQB: USGDF / FWB: 1QC) (“American Pacific” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it

has received final permits to commence a drill program at the past-producing high-grade Gooseberry

Silver Project in Nevada.

With final drill permits now in hand, a 15 -hole combination reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drill

program is now expected to commence later this year.

Gooseberry is a low sulphidation, epithermal vein system encompassing the historical Gooseberry silver-

gold mine in Storey County, Nevada. The past-producing underground silver and gold mine operated for

nearly a century between 1900 and 1990, after which mining ceased due to low precious metals prices.

No meaningful modern exploration work has been done on the project since 1994. The Company owns

an undivided 100% interest with no underlying royalties and previously sampled up to 18.45 g/t Au and

595 g/t Ag from the dumps and old mineralized stockpiles at Gooseberry (see press release dated June 5,

2019).

"We are very pleased to receive our drilling permit in advance of a 15-hole combination RC and diamond

core drill program totaling approximately 4,000 metres," stated President, Eric Saderholm. "These holes

will target lateral and down -dip extensions to some of the higher -grade mineralization that was

encountered during mining. American Pacific has always been very eager to drill Gooseberry, which

produced very high -grade silver and gold from active mining faces. The initial phase of drilling will

target extensions to these known mineralized zones."

The Company also announces the resignation of Norm Wareham, who has served as a member of its

board of directors since January 25, 2018 . American Pacific’s board and management thank Mr.

Wareham for his years of service and wish him success in his future endeavours.
