HALIFAX, NS / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2020 / Namibia Critical Metals Inc. ("Namibia Critical Metals" or the "Company" or "NMI") (TSXV:NMI) is pleased to provide an update on its gold exploration programs on the Grootfontein and Erongo projects which cover 1,950 km2 in the Central Namibian Gold Belt. Both projects underwent regional exploration with the objective of identifying orogenic gold deposits. Progress to date is reported as follows:

Three gold targets defined at Grootfontein (80 km northeast of B2 Gold's Otjikoto Mine) based on low detection limit gold anomalies, up to 6 kilometers in strike length coincident with favourable structural lineaments

The delineation of a major gold anomaly covering 25 km2 at the Highlands Target underlines the potential for gold discoveries within the massive Grootfontein Mafic Complex.

Soil sampling completed over Erongo (20 km from Osino Resource's Twin Hills discovery) has identified three priority target areas defined by strong arsenic anomalies coincident with favourable structural lineaments.

Namibia Critical Metals holds four Exclusive Prospecting Licences ("EPLs") comprising 2,150 km2 within the Central Namibian Gold Belt. The EPLs are situated within the Central Namibian Gold Belt which hosts a number of significant orogenic gold deposits including the Navachab Gold Mine (4.41 Moz)1, the Otjikoto Gold Mine (1.83 Moz)2 and more recently the discovery of the Twin Hills deposit. Gold mineralization throughout the belt is associated with northeast striking fault zones and second and third order structures related to these faults which have been identified on the Company's EPLs.

Don Burton, President of Namibia Critical Metals stated "With the delineation of gold anomalies at Grootfontein, the potential of the Namibian Central Gold Belt now extends for 400 kilometers in length. Investment in the belt has been driven by the historic gold discovery at Navachab, the success of B2 Gold's operation at Otjikoto and the on-going drilling success at Osino's Twin Hills discovery. We are well positioned in key areas of the belt and we are especially excited about the Highlands Target which covers 25km2 and is clearly open to the east."

Work by the Company completed to date includes detailed structural interpretations and mapping over the entire Grootfontein and Erongo project areas, and regional soil sampling programs over designated target areas. Over 16,000 soil samples have been collected and analysed for pathfinder elements using handheld XRF analyzers. Low detection gold analyses have been completed on 5,685 of these samples from Grootfontein. Gold analyses are pending from Erongo.

Gold Exploration Targets at Grootfontein

The Grootfontein project area comprises two EPLs covering 1,643 km2 located 80 kilometers northeast of B2 Gold's Otjikoto Gold Mine and 20 kilometers northeast of Osino Resources' Otjikoto East Project.

The geology of the property is dominated by the Grootfontein Mafic Complex ("GMC"). Grootfontein lies at the northeastern extremity of the Central Namibian Gold Belt where the Grootfontein Shear Zone ("GSZ") transects the GMC and is bounded to the south by the Waterberg Fault (Figure 1). Gold anomalies identified to date at Grootfontein occur within the mafic rocks of the GMC itself and in basement and Damaran Supergroup rocks in proximity to the Grootfontein Shear Zone (Figure 2). The project area has extensive alluvial and calcrete cover up to 40 meters in thickness.

Figure 1: Location of the Grootfontein EPLs and relationship to major structures within the Central Namibian Gold Belt.

A structural interpretation of the entire project area was undertaken by Earthmaps Consulting using airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical data together with 1:250,000 scale geological maps. The study provided a detailed structural analysis of the area delineating the Grootfontein Shear Zone and the Waterberg Fault, and associated second and third order structures considered favourable for gold mineralization, with a focus on the potential of a 50 kilometer long segment of the GSZ. Given the extensive calcrete cover, regional-scale soil sampling was undertaken to identify potentially mineralized zones associated with the GSZ.

Results have outlined three large, low-grade gold anomalies of gold related to the GSZ as shown in Figure 2:

The Highlands Target covers an area of 25 km2 situated 2.5 km north of the Grootfontein Shear Zone. Gold anomalies are associated with second order structures over strike lengths up to 6 kilometers within the Grootfontein Mafic Complex (GMC) and following the contact zone of the GMC and the Huab basement. Orogenic gold deposits in sheared mafic intrusive rocks are well documented and this represents the first such target in the Central Namibian Gold Belt

The Gressenhof Target is coincident with the Grootfontein Shear Zone over a strike length of 3 kilometers and is underlain by metasediments of the Damaran Supergroup

The Rothof Target is a well-defined, linear corridor following second order structures over a strike length of 6 kilometers, immediately north of the Grootfontein Shear Zone within the GMC.

Follow-up of all three targets will be undertaken using high-resolution magnetics with UAV (drone) and induced polarization geophysical surveys to delineate drill targets. Regional soil sampling will continue to fill in the 20 kilometer gap between the Gressenhof and Rothof targets along the Grootfontein Thrust Zone and explore the second and third structures within the basement rocks to the south.

Gold Exploration Targets at Erongo

The Erongo Project area comprises 320 km2 and is largely underlain by metasediments of the Damaran Supergroup dominated by a turbiditic sequence of metapelites of the Kuiseb Formation and syntectonic granites of the Damaran Orogen. The Kuiseb Formation hosts the Twin Hills gold project of Osino Resources just 20 km south of the Erongo Project.

The structural interpretation of the entire project area by Earthmaps Consulting delineated the Omaruru Fault Zone and the Kanona Fault Zone, both of which are considered prospective for structurally controlled orogenic gold mineralization. The project area has extensive alluvial or calcrete cover and regional soil sampling was undertaken as the initial exploration tool to identify areas of potential interest. Over 8,000 samples were collected and analyzed by handheld XRF for base metals and gold pathfinder elements. All soil samples are pending preparation for low level detection limit gold analyses. The priority target at Erongo is the Kanona Fault Zone (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Key gold exploration targets at the Erongo Project (arsenic anomalies from handheld XRF analyses of soils).
Sampling lines 200 m apart. Structural and lithological interpretations by Earthmaps Consulting

Based on arsenic anomalies in soils from handheld XRF analyses, three target areas associated with the Kanona Fault have been identified (Figure 3):

The Kanona North Target has a strike length of 4 kilometers which clearly follows a lower order structure splaying off the main Kanona Fault. This target is defined by the most intense arsenic anomaly in the area and occurs within the Kuiseb Formation and syntectonic leucogranites (orthogneisses)

The Kanona Central Target is similarly situated along the Kanona Fault over a strike length of 6 kilometers but displays a broader, less confined arsenic anomaly within the Kuiseb Formation and syntectonic leucogranites

The Kanona East Target is a northeast trending linear anomaly with a strike length of 2.5 kilometers coincident with an interpreted dyke swarm cross-cutting the Karibib Formation into Salem granite.

The Kanona Fault is a first order structure characterized by a kilometer wide corridor of second and third order structures clearly expressed at surface by quartz gravels. In the limited areas where subcrops occurred, samples of the detrital quartz gravel were collected as composites of 20 to 40 small quartz vein chips over an area of up to 50 m x 50 m from gravel plains. These composite samples were analyzed by fire assay but did not return any gold values above 100 ppb.

Further evaluation of all target areas at Erongo are pending results from low detection limit gold analyses of the regional soil samples. Targets with defined gold anomalies will be further evaluated by high-resolution UAV magnetic (drone) and induced polarization geophysical surveys to delineate drill targets.

Soil Sample Programs and Analyses

Soil samples were systematically taken every 100 meters with a line spacing of 400 meters at Grootfontien and a line spacing of 200 meters at Erongo. A total of 8,028 samples were taken at Grootfontein and 8,078 samples at Erongo. All samples were sieved to -180µm and analyzed by hand held XRF for base metals and gold pathfinder elements. The XRF analyser was calibrated in a daily routine by GeoExpert Services. A total of 5,525 soil samples from Grootfontein were submitted to Actlabs (Windhoek) for full sample preparation (Code S1) and gold analyses were carried out by Actlabs (Ancaster) to a low detection limit of 0.01 ppb Au (Code 1A6-10) using a cyanide leach with ICP-MS finish. QAQC samples (duplicates, CRMs, blanks) were inserted at a rate of 4 in 100 samples. Quartz composites were submitted to Actlabs (Windhoek) for full sample preparation (Code RX1) and gold analyses were carried out by Actlabs (Ancaster) using fire assay and AA finish to a detection limit of 5 ppb Au (Code 1A2) with insertion of a QAQC sample at a rate of 1 CRM, blank or duplicate per 20 samples.

About Namibia Critical Metals Inc.

Namibia Critical Metals Inc. holds a diversified portfolio of exploration and advanced stage projects in the country of Namibia focused on the development of sustainable and ethical sources of metals for the battery, electric vehicle and associated industries. The two advanced stage projects in the portfolio are Lofdal and Epembe. The Company also has significant land positions in areas favourable for gold mineralization.

Heavy Rare Earths: The Lofdal Heavy Rare Earth Project is the Company's most advanced project having completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2014 and full Environmental Impact Assessment in 2017. An application has been made for a mining licence at Lofdal. The project is now in joint venture with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC") who are funding the current $4,100,000 drilling and metallurgical program with the objective of doubling the resource size and optimization of the process flow sheet.

Gold: At the Erongo Gold Project, stratigraphic equivalents to the sediments hosting the recent Osino gold discovery at Twin Hills have been identified but not yet sampled. Soil surveys are progressing over this highly prospective area. The Grootfontein Base Metal and Gold Project which has potential for magmatic copper-nickel mineralization, Mississippi Valley-type zinc-lead-vanadium mineralization and Otjikoto-style gold mineralization. Detailed interpretation of geophysical data and regional geochemical soil sampling surveys are under way.

Tantalum-Niobium: In addition to Lofdal, the Epembe Tantalum-Niobium Project is also at an advanced stage with a well-defined, 10 km long carbonatite dyke that has been delineated by detailed mapping with over 11,000 meters of drilling. Preliminary mineralogical and metallurgical studies including sorting tests (XRT), indicate the potential for significant physical upgrading. Further work will be undertaken to advance the project to a preliminary economic assessment stage.

Copper-Cobalt: The Kunene Copper-Cobalt Project comprises a very large area of favorable stratigraphy ("the DOF") along strike to the west of the Opuwo cobalt-copper-zinc deposit. Secondary copper mineralization over a wide area points to preliminary evidence of a regional-scale hydrothermal system. Exploration targets on EPLs held in the Kunene project comprise direct extensions of the DOF style mineralization to the west, sediment-hosted cobalt and copper, orogenic copper, and stratabound manganese and zinc-lead mineralization.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2020 / Endurance Gold Corporation (TSX.V:EDG) (the "Company") is pleased to report completion of seventeen reverse circulation (RC) drill holes on the Reliance Gold Property (the "Property") in southern British Columbia. The drilling program for this initial phase of drilling is now complete. The Property is located 4 kilometres ("km") east of the village of Gold Bridge with year-round road access, and 10 km north of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced over 4 million ounces of gold.

The program was completed as planned with first pass shallow drill testing of the Eagle South Zone, Eagle Zone, Imperial and Imperial North. Seventeen RC drill holes with a total of 978.4 metres ("m") of drilling were completed. All RC drill holes were planned with a maximum depth of 70.1 m (230 feet). Holes were stopped short if they encountered the water table which can negatively affect the RC sample quality. A 2 to 3 kg representative sample split was collected from 1.52 m (5 foot) drill intervals from the entire length of each RC hole. A total of 609 samples have been submitted for gold assay and multi-element analysis to the ALS Global laboratory in North Vancouver.

Geological descriptions and portable XRF analysis are currently ongoing at the project site utilizing duplicate samples of the RC chips collected as reference material from each hole. A map showing the drill hole locations is appended and available on the Company's website. A table summarizing the drill statistics is appended below. The following provides a summary of the areas drilled.

Eagle South Zone – The furthest south exposure of the Royal Shear. As reported on October 15, 2020 channel sampling from outcrop returned 8.9 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold over 9.6 m within a wider mineralized zone of 6.92 gpt gold over 13.4 m. RC20-007 and RC20-008 are minus 45 degree inclined drill holes of 70.1 m each and were drilled from the same collar location to test this target. The objective of these holes was to determine the dip and strike extent of the mineralized shear discovered at surface. The collar was located 9 m southwest of the south end of the channel-sampled outcrop.

Eagle Zone (Eagle 3 roadcut) – This is the southeastern exposure of the Eagle Zone of the Royal Shear Zone on a mineralized strand that appears independent of the Eagle South Zone. As reported on November 16, 2020 channel sampling from outcrop averaged 4.88 gpt gold over 23.5 m, including two higher grade intervals of 8.60 gpt gold over 9.1 m and 10.87 gpt gold over 2.1 m. The strike and dip extent of the Eagle 3 mineralization was tested with drill holes RC20-009 and RC20-013. Both holes were inclined at minus 45 degree.

Eagle Zone (Eagle 2 roadcut) – The Eagle 2 channel sampling did not intersect the wide zone of mineralization found at Eagle 3. As reported on October 26, 2020, Eagle 2 channel sampling averaged 4.94 gpt gold over 1.5 m and 5.28 gpt gold over 1.8 m which are interpreted to be narrower shear-strands subparallel to the E3 strand mineralization. Drill holes RC20-010, RC20-011 and RC20-012 were collared along the Eagle 2 roadcut and inclined to the northeast with the goal of extending the strike extent of the Eagle 3 strand mineralization by up to 50 metres. Stibnite bearing and sulphide bearing quartz vein chips were observed in all three drill holes.

Eagle Zone (Eagle 1 roadcut) – As reported on October 26, 2020, Eagle 1 channel sampling from outcrop averaged 5.89 gpt gold over 31.5 m including a higher grade interval of 9.69 gpt gold over 9.1 m. Drill holes RC20-014 and RC20-015, were drilled at minus 45 degrees and minus 65 degrees and achieved depths of 41.1 m and 39.6 m, respectively. These holes were collared approximately 10 m from the Eagle 1 channel samples. A third hole RC20-016, drilled at minus 45 degrees, was collared about 30 metres south of RC20-014 and RC20-015 and achieved a depth of 47.2 m. Stibnite bearing and sulphide bearing quartz vein chips were observed in all three holes.

Eagle Zone (Eagle 0 roadcut) – As reported on October 26, 2020 channel sampling from the Eagle 0 outcrop averaged 3.63 gpt gold over 17.7 m including two higher grade intervals of 7.19 gpt gold over 3.7 m and 6.35 gpt gold over 4.9 m. At Eagle 0, RC20-017 was collared just to the south of the sampled road cut and drilled at minus 45 degrees under the outcrop. Stibnite bearing and sulphide bearing quartz vein chips were observed in RC 20-17 and thus the Eagle 0 shear is currently interpreted to have been intersected in the drilling.

Imperial North Zone – As reported on November 23, 2020 channel sampling from the Imperial North outcrop averaged 3.14 gpt gold over 6.7 m. The full width of this sulphidized shear strand is not exposed and thus was tested with RC holes RC20-01 and RC20-02 inclined at minus 45 degrees. The holes were collared 35 m south of the Imperial North channel sample and were drilled at different azimuths to determine the strike of the zone.

Imperial Zone – The Imperial Zone has never been identified at surface and drill holes RC20-003, RC20-005, and RC20-006 were completed to test for the near-surface extent of mineralization based on interpretation utilizing historic drilling results. Drill hole RC20-004 was abandoned.

RC samples were collected under the supervision of a geologist at the drilling rig. Drilling was completed using a 3.5 inch hammer bit and rock chip samples were collected using a cyclone. Sample size were reduced to 1/8th size with a riffle splitter at the drilling rig. A second duplicate split and coarse chips were collected for reference material and stored at the property. All RC samples were submitted to ALS Global in North Vancouver, BC, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, where they were crushed to 70% <2 mm then up to 250 gram pulverized to <75 microns. Samples were then submitted for four-acid digestion and analyzed for 48 element ICP-MS (ME-MS61) and gold 30g FA ICP-AES finish (AU-ICP21). Over limit samples returning greater than 10 ppm gold were re-analyzed by Au-GRA21 methodology and over limit antimony returning greater than 10,000 ppm Sb were re-analyzed by Sb-AA08 methodology. Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property or within the target areas. The work program was supervised by Darren O'Brien, P.Geo., an independent consultant and qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. O'Brien has reviewed and approved this news release.

ReleaseID: 620785

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2020 / Red Lake Gold Inc. (CSE:RGLD)(FWB:P11)("Red Lake Gold" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fenelon Gold Inc. have contracted Precision GeoSurveys Inc. to perform a high-resolution aeromagnetic exploration survey at the Fenelon North Gold Project in Quebec. The Fenelon North Gold Project is situated immediately adjacent to the Fenelon Gold Project being advanced by Wallbridge Mining Company Limited.

"As we work towards our 2021 exploration plans within the Red Lake gold camp, we are excited to announce our upcoming inaugural exploration at our Fenelon North Gold Project which is situated in one of Quebec's most promising gold districts. Our project covers a significant portion of the Jeremie Pluton and our exploration survey there is designed to assist us in exploring for potential gold-bearing areas within our large-scale project," stated Ryan Kalt, Chief Executive Officer of Red Lake Gold.

The program budget for the winter 2020 geophysical exploration program is expected to meet or exceed qualifying expenditures required to constitute the Fenelon North Gold Project as a "qualifying project" as that term is more generally referred to in the policies of the CSE Exchange.

Winter 2020 Geophysical Survey (Fenelon North Gold Project)

The winter 2020 geophysical survey is designed to cover 914 line-kilometers on a 50m spacing basis and is scheduled to commence this month. The heli-borne airborne survey will be flown in a systematic low-level grid pattern and will cover priority areas of the Fenelon North Gold Project located within the western portion of the project. The winter 2020 geophysical survey will extend coverage over 42.6 km2 with particular emphasis on exploration of tenure holdings overlaying the Jeremie Pluton.

Figure One: Fenelon North Gold Project – Western Project Area

Figure Two: Planned Winter 2020 Geophysical Survey Area

The mag survey will utilize four Scintrex CS-3 cesium vapor magnetometer sensors; in a custom-designed non-magnetic and non-conductive survey bird for triaxial gradient and total magnetic intensity measurements. Compared to conventional single-sensor survey systems, this design allows for direct measurement of the magnetic gradient in the X, Y and Z axes with four magnetic sensors rather than calculating the gradient from one sensor. This eliminates aircraft-induced noise and will provide more structural detail, especially for near-surface targets, without compromising the total magnetic intensity.

The airborne survey is planned to be flown at a nominal flight height of 40m above ground, plus/minus allocated variances.

About the Fenelon North Gold Project

Red Lake Gold Inc., in conjunction with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fenelon Gold Inc., is advancing its Fenelon North Gold Project, which shares a 50km common property boundary with Wallbridge Mining Company Limited.

SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2020 / Jadestone Energy Inc. (AIM:JSE) ("Jadestone", the "Company", or the "Group"), an independent oil and gas production company focused on the Asia Pacific region, is pleased to announce that all conditions required to complete its proposed acquisition of an operated 90% interest in the Lemang production sharing contract (the "Lemang PSC"), onshore Indonesia, are now satisfied.

This includes receipt of governmental approval of the assignment of the interest and of Jadestone's appointment as operator, and other consents required under the Lemang PSC joint operating agreement.

Jadestone, as buyer, and Mandala Energy Lemang Pte Ltd (the "Seller"), will now proceed to close the transaction, which will become effective upon the Seller confirming receipt of the US$12 million purchase consideration. This is anticipated to occur within the coming days.

Paul Blakeley, President and CEO commented:

"I am delighted to complete our acquisition of the Lemang PSC, and to re-establish our operating presence in Indonesia. The asset adds balance and diversity to our portfolio and creates an opportunity to develop high-value gas for an energy-hungry region; a region which is otherwise increasingly dependent on coal to meet its growing energy needs.

"We will maintain a measured pace toward development spending, but look forward to resuming investment into a jurisdiction and basin we know well, through our team's prior involvement in the South Sumatra region."

Through the secondment of Jadestone personnel into the Seller's organisation, leading up to deal completion, the Company has already begun work to instill the Jadestone operating philosophy and efficiency-oriented culture. Key discussions are also underway in respect of future gas sales arrangements, so as to commercialise the Lemang PSC's 2C resources of 55.2 bscf sales gas, 2.2 mm bbls of condensate, and 5.8 mm boe of liquid petroleum gas1, as efficiently as possible.

1 Based on an independent review of contingent resources by ERCE, an independent qualified reserves auditor, and prepared for the Company in June 2020 in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH"), assuming 90% interest. 2C resource volumes presented represent the sub-class Development Pending, as defined by COGEH, and are presented on an unrisked basis. The main contingencies are non-technical and include the finalisation of the gas sales agreement and project FID. ERCE estimates the chance of development at 90%.

Cautionary statements

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements and information (collectively "forward- looking statements"), within the meaning of the applicable securities legislation. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are forward-looking and not historical facts.

Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of phrases such as "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "is targeting", "estimated", "intend", "plan", "guidance", "objective", "projection", "aim", "goals", "target", "schedules", and "outlook"). In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the timing for completion of the Lemang acquisition and the timing to conclude a gas sales agreement for the Lemang gas development.

Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcomes will not occur. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are similar to those faced by other oil and gas companies and some are unique to Jadestone. Whilst the Company believes the expectations reflected herein to be reasonable in light of the information available to them at this time, the actual outcome may be materially different owing to factors beyond the Company's control or within the Company's control where, for example, the Company decides on a change of plan or strategy. Accordingly, no reliance may be placed on the figures contained in such forward- looking statements. The forward-looking information contained in this news release speaks only as of the date hereof. The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly update the information, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws.

The oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids information in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook").

A barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") is determined by converting a volume of natural gas to barrels using the ratios of six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") to one barrel. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilising a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

The technical information contained in this Presentation has been prepared in accordance with the March 2007 guidelines endorsed by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, World Petroleum Congress, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers Petroleum Resource Management System.

Henning Hoeyland of Jadestone Energy Inc., Group Subsurface Manager with a Masters degree in Petroleum Engineering who is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and who has been involved in the energy industry for more than 19 years, has read and approved the technical disclosure in this regulatory announcement.

The information contained within this announcement is considered to be inside information prior to its release, as defined in Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation No. 596/2014, and is disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of those Regulations.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2020 / Pelangio Exploration Inc. (TSXV:PX)(OTC PINK:PGXPF) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the final tranche of the non-brokered private placement previously announced on November 16, 2020 and November 24, 2020, and December 3, 2020 (the "Offering"). In this final tranche, the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $970,800 (the "Final Tranche") by issuing 6,650,000 hard dollar units (the "HD Units") at a price of $0.13 per HD Unit and 625,294 common shares of the Company issued on a flow-through basis (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.17 per FT Share. The total gross proceeds of the Offering, including the funds raised as part of the first tranche closed on December 3, 2020, consists of $2,211,700.

Each HD Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.18 for a period of two years from December 3, 2020 (the "Initial Closing Date"). The FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)).

The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenses. Qualifying expenses are to be incurred by no later than December 31, 2021 for renunciation to investors of FT Shares in the Offering effective December 31, 2020. The balance of the proceeds of the Offering will be used to advance the Company's gold exploration projects in Ghana, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

In connection with the closing of the Second Tranche, the Company paid finder's fees to Canaccord Genuity Corp., PI Financial Corp., Leede Jones Gable Inc., Raymond James Ltd. and Zuri-Invest AG., each arm's length finders, consisting of an aggregate of $48,230.00 in cash and an aggregate of 364,000 non-transferrable warrants ("Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.18 for a period of two years from the Initial Closing Date.

The purchase of HD Units and FT Shares pursuant to the Offering by Ingrid Hibbard (President, CEO, and a director of the Company) and David Mosher (a director of the Company) (collectively, the "Related Parties") constituted a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company was exempt from the MI 61 101 valuation and minority approval requirements for related party transactions in connection with the Offering under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves the Related Parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

All securities issued in the Final Tranche of the Offering, including the Finder Warrants, are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on April 11, 2021. The Offering remains subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

PROJECT UPDATES

Ghana Project Update – Dankran and Manfo Projects

The Dankran Prospecting License, which was under application by BNT Resources Ghana Ltd., the vendor of the property to Pelangio Exploration, has now been issued and duly signed by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Ghana. A program of community engagement was completed on the property and a planned soil sampling program commenced on December 1, 2020 with 27% of a planned initial 1,200 sample program completed to date. It is anticipated that the soil sampling program will be completed by year-end with all assays received by mid January. With favourable results, Pelangio intends to commence an initial drill test of gold in soil anomalies anticipated to begin in late January.

Exploration and resource extension drilling programs planned for Pelangio's Manfo project could commence after initial programs are completed at Dankran, contingent upon the Dankran results. With exceptional results, Dankran could become the near-term focus for exploration activity in Ghana.

Canadian Project Update – Grenfell Property, Ontario

In late October 2020, the Company completed a follow-up drill program consisting of five holes (see Pelangio news release dated September 22, 2020 for further details). All logging and sampling was completed on October 25, 2020, and samples were submitted for analysis. A substantial backlog at assay labs in Timmins has held up the receipt of results, and Pelangio is still awaiting final results for the entire program. However, these results will be published in a timely fashion upon receipt and review of all assay data.

Hailstone Property, Saskatchewan

Currently, the Company is awaiting lab results from its recently completed till sampling program on the Asbell target area. A ground induced polarization ("IP") survey was initiated on December 10, 2020 to better define potential targets related to gold occurrences, magnetic survey data and preliminary till sample data. A full report on all of the recent work on the property will be published upon completion of the IP survey and receipt of outstanding till sample analysis.
