Mitch Vanderydt, CEO, comments: “The company is pleased to hit the ground running by kicking off exploration activities after only listing in late March. We have spent significant time and effort over the past several months building a strong team of consultants, reviewing existing exploration data, and planning initial targets for our portfolio of prospective gold projects in the under-explored Middle Ostrobothnia Gold Belt (“MOGB”) of Central Finland. We are excited to get drill rigs turning to create shareholder value. The Company is well positioned with a starting resource base of 725,000 ounces gold-equivalent (“AuEq”) and a strong cash position after raising nearly €4 million in the Company’s recent initial public offering.”

Northgold 2022 Exploration Program:

• Fully funded and permitted 5,000 m drill program budgeted at 750,000 EUR:
  • 4,000-4,500 m of core drilling at Kopsa, to commence during May;
  • 500-1,000 m of core drilling at Kiimala Trend, to commence during Q3;
• Drilling at Kopsa will focus on resource expansion targets;
• Drilling at Kiimala Trend will focus on advancing early-stage, pre-resource targets, including:
  • Alakyla, where intercepts including 3.98 g/t gold (“Au”) over 4 m were reported from historic diamond drilling;
  • Pirttineva, where multiple grab samples grading up to 12 g/t Au were obtained from outcrops historically;
• Induced polarization (“IP”) and resistivity geophysical surveys budgeted at 75,000 EUR:
  • At Kopsa, to commence during May, including 4 survey lines totalling 6.4 km, with the goal of identifying new drill targets at depth where historic drilling has been limited;
  • At Kiimala Trend, to commence during Q3 pending ongoing planning efforts, with the goal of identifying early-stage, pre-resource drill targets at known prospect locations, Alakyla and Pirttineva to the south, and also Veihtineva and Mustakorpi to the north (see Figure 3).

About Northgold 2022 Exploration Program:
Northgold has engaged Finnish drilling company Kati Oy (“Kati”) for the fully funded and permitted 2022 core drilling program set to commence in May and continue until Q3. The core drilling program will aim to test seven resource expansion targets at Kopsa (see Figure 1) in addition to early-stage, pre-resource targets at Kiimala Trend. Results from the core drilling program will be reported as they are received, and will move the Company closer to its initial exploration target of 1,000,000 oz AuEq of NI43-101 compliant resources within the first 18 months of trading.

Northgold has also engaged Finnish geophysics company GRM-services Oy (“GRM”) to conduct IP and Resistivity geophysical surveys as part of the 2022 exploration program with the goal of identifying additional drill targets. These geophysical survey plans at Kopsa have been finalized and work is set to begin during May (see Figure 2). Survey plans at Kiimala Trend project are currently being prepared for prospects, Alakyla, Pirttineva, Veihtineva, and Mustakorpi, pending the ongoing review of existing geophysical data at these locations (see Figure 3).
