Velocity Receives Approval for Work Program on its

Dangovo Property, Bulgaria.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: VLC) ( “Velocity” or the “Company”) announces

that it has received approval for its proposed 3 -year work program at the Dangovo Prospecting License

(“Dangovo”). The approvals received from the Ministry of Energy enable drill testing to begin in 2023.

Dangovo Property Details

The Dangovo property is contiguous with the Company’s Makedontsi project ( Figure 1 ), where a historical

resource is registered with the Bulgarian State. Dangovo was acquired to explore for potential extensions of

known gold mineralization at Makedontsi (Figure 2). Prospective lithologies are overlain by a thin layer of post-

mineral limestone and drilling completed by the Company within the Makedontsi property indicates that the

host-lithologies are preserved. Velocity has completed a geophysical survey (Controlled Source Audio -

frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT)) and data is interpreted to indicate that gold bearing structural zones from

the Makedontsi property may extend undercover onto the Dangovo property. These form the primary targets

for initial drill testing which will be tested with an initial 2,000m drill program.

The Dangovo property was acquired by staking and the prospecting license contract with the Ministry of Energy

was signed in late 2022. Approval of the 3-year work program is the final step in the approval process.
