Vancouver, British Columbia – Volcanic Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV-VG) (“Volcanic” or the “Company”)
and joint venture partner Radius Gold Inc. are pleased to report on the ongoing drilling campaign
at the Motagua Norte Project.
As previously reported (April 3, 2024), drilling confirmed that the broad area of boulder float with
abundant bonanza grade assay results discovered by Company geologists at the Mila target is
underlain by a serpentinite package, and the colluvial boulders of quartz and schists bearing high-
grade gold values ha ve likely moved downslope from a major structural corridor , that includes
the Veta Madre Fault.
Initial results have been received for the first two diamond drill holes (MIDD-24-04 & 05) drilled
to the south that cut the broad Veta Madre Fault. The results indicate the gold bearing colluvium
fields did not originate from the Veta Madre structure as no anomalous samples were returned
from these two holes. Geological mapping further upslope, south of Veta Madre, has identified
another large quartz structure (Veta Padre). Between the two main structures visible gold in
outcrop in narrow south dipping veins has been observed.
Drilling is now focused on the veins to the south of the Veta Madre and testing the stockwork
zones.

About the Motagua Norte project
The Motagua Norte project is a gold system hosted by schists of the Motagua suture zone, an
east-west striking belt of metamorphic rocks that outcrops at the line of collision between the
North American and Caribbean tectonic plates.
Volcanic Gold Mines has an option agreement with Radius Gold Inc. to earn a 60% interest in the
Cirilo I exploration licence and other licences under applications and negotiation within the
Motagua Norte project, as well as the Holly Project where the J/V has established a high -grade
epithermal gold resource 60km north of the Cerro Blanco Gold Deposit. (See news release Sept.
18, 2023).
