Volcanic Gold announces non-brokered financing of $1.5 million to fund
restart of drilling at Holly Property, Guatemala
Vancouver, British Columbia – Volcanic Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: VG) (“Volcanic” or “the Company” ) is
pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement financing to raise up
to $1.5 million to fund the resumption of exploration activities on the Holly Property located in Guatemala.
The offering will consist of up to 12.5 million units at $0.12 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common
share of the Company and one warrant which will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common
share at a price of $0.16 for 24 months. The warrants will have an exercise acceleration clause such that
following the statutory hold period, if the closing price of the Company’s shares exceeds $0.25 for any 10
consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date to 30 calendar
days.
Spectacular grades were obtained in the previous drilling at Holly where north-west trending epithermal
veins cut the regional-scale east-west trending Jocotán structure. Drilling has defined a mineral resource
of 410,000 ounces gold equivalent at a grade of 9.6 Au equivalent grams per tonne (see Technical
Information below). The resource is open to potential expansion.
Drill permits are in place and the Company now has the social licence to operate. Future drilling will aim
to extend and define the depth and strike extent of minerali zation and tighten drill spacing to upgrade
the confidence level of the current mineral resource.

Technical Information
Luc English PhD, who is a Chartered Geologist and Fellow of the Geological Society of London, is the
Company’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43 -101 - Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects. Dr English has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news
release.
The Holly project mineral resource is 1.3 Mt at 6.5 g/t for 270,000 oz contained gold and 11 Moz at 260 g/t
contained silver, which equates to 9.6 g/t at 410,000 oz gold equivalent (effective date 7 June 2022).
1. Resources estimated using a 3.0 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade and a top cap grade of 100 g/t
Gold and 2,000 g/t Silver and presented on a 100%-basis.
2. Gold Equivalent values are based on Au$1800 and Ag$22 using the formula: Au g/t + (Ag
g/t*0.01222).
3. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. The
estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal,
marketing, or other relevant issues. The mineral resources in this report were estimated using the
-3-
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum standards on mineral resources and
reserves, definitions, and guidelines prepared by the CIM standing committee on reserve
definitions and adopted by the CIM council. Notwithstanding, to meet the requi rement that the
reported Mineral Resources show “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction”.
4. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature
and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as an Indicated or
Measured Mineral Resource. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in an upgrade
to Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category.
