AUGUSTA GOLD ADVANCES REWARD FEASIBILITY STUDY AND PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Augusta Gold Corp. (TSX:G) (OTCQB: AUGG) (FSE: 11B ) (" Augusta Gold " or the " Company ") announces that it is advancing on its plan to complete a Feasibility Study at its 100% owned Reward Project and continues to push forward environmental studies to support advanced permitting activities and support a mine plan of operations at its Bullfrog Project, both located in the Walker Lane district of southern Nevada .

Reward Project

Augusta Gold is advancing completion of the final Feasibility Study on its 100% owned Reward open pit/heap leach project in the Walker Lane district of southern Nevada. Reward has all major federal and state permits in place, sufficient water rights for construction and operation, and existing power supply to the project site. Prices for goods and services have stabilized sufficiently allowing the Company to advance completion of the Feasibility Study. Kappes, Cassiday and Associates, based in Reno, NV is the primary contractor for the study, which is scheduled for completion in Q4/2023. Other contractors contributing to the Feasibility Study are Respec, Newfields, Apex Geosciences, Knight Piésold and SRK.

Don Taylor , President and CEO commented, "The decision to advance directly to a Feasibility Study for the Reward Project was pivotal in bringing the Company closer to its plan to get the mine in production for late 2024. Additionally, moving forward the permitting, metallurgy and environmental studies at the Bullfrog project will help in the timely progression of making Augusta Gold a substantial Nevada gold producer."

In addition to the Feasibility Study, drill plans are in place to test additional mineral resource growth potential extending adjacent to and below the current pit shell (see Figures 1 and 2). Environmental studies continue on the project to support planned development schedules.

Bullfrog Project

At the Company's 100% owned Bullfrog property, located 7 miles west of Reward, the Company continues to advance environmental studies to support advanced permitting activities and support a mine plan of operations which is expected mid-2024. The metallurgical testing program is nearing completion. Column percolation tests remain active with preliminary results indicating metal recoveries for the ore tested grading from 0.23 g/t to 0.80 g/t will range from 74% to 82% at the finer crush of 1.7 mm. The testing indicates that leaching of these ores is expected to have low to moderate sodium cyanide and lime consumption. Final test results are expected in Q3 2023.

Additionally, drill plans are in place to test high potential targets in the Gap target area located north of the planned mining areas at Bullfrog where intense alteration, preserved lithocap and significant surface gold mineralization occur along a major fault corridor (see Figures 3 and 4). Two previously completed core drill holes (BFG21-IS39 1.02m of 1.74 g/t Au; BFG21-IS30 1.56m of 0.83 g/t Au) are interpreted to have drilled over the fault intersection with the favorable TR-8 host rock.

Lode Gold: 2024 Year-End Review and 2025 Outlook

Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: SBMIF) ("Lode Gold " or the "Company") is pleased to provide a year-end update.

Dear Investors,

I am excited to update you on our progress since I took over as CEO less than a year ago, just before Christmas in December 2023. With the support of the board, key shareholders, and the dedicated Lode Gold team, we have raised $6M since March 2024 and completed numerous tasks to reorganize the Company. These efforts have positioned us for future success and growth, and I am grateful for the continued support and confidence you have shown in our vision.

Strategy: Create Two Pure Play Companies to Unlock Value and Attract New Investors

Last year, around this time, I met with bankers to discuss how we plan to unlock value by spinning out the Company's assets to create two pure-play companies. This strategy resonated with many as Lode Gold has key assets situated in highly prospective mining regions in Canada and the United States. This initiative immediately creates two $7M companies from one $7M entity, thereby generating accretive value for shareholders.

Focus on Intrinsic Asset Value vs Market Cap: Do some small-cap stocks outperform large-cap investments in the long run?

Clifford Asness, who played a key role in building Goldman Sachs' Global Alpha before founding AQR, and now manages over $33 billion in assets, published a whitepaper that challenged the Efficient Market Theory. It stipulated that value may be factored into price with large-cap companies, but it may not be the case with small-cap stocks¹. It states that with small or micro-cap stocks, the Less-Efficient-Market Hypothesis often holds. Why? The market is inherently inefficient due to a fragmented shareholder base and a lack of distribution, awareness and liquidity. As such, if capital is patient, investing in a small-cap stock may result in a higher return on investment in the long run compared to a large-cap stock.

In the case of Lode Gold, the intrinsic value, verified with a third-party NI 43-101 technical report, has an NPV USD $370M, yet the market cap trades at a fraction of the real value. Notwithstanding, a planned spin-out transaction valued at an additional $7.65M (pre-money value to current Lode Gold shareholders) has already obtained conditional approval.

This is a value proposition, validated by smart money: strategic investors and institutional shareholders; a total of four own approximately 60%. Intrigued by the potential of this undervalued play, I accepted the challenge of leading its turnaround and growth.

Near-Term: Gold Orogen spin out to unlock value for shareholders

The company has three key orogenic assets, with proven gold endowment.

To unlock value for shareholders; immediately we are spinning out the Canadian assets into a new company, Gold Orogen. Each Lode Gold shareholder will get shares of Gold Orogen; via a tax-efficient spin-out.

Additionally, a $3M raise has been completed at Gold Orogen, based on a $7.65M pre-money valuation. The current valuation for Lode Gold, the parent company, is at $7M. We are topping up with an additional $1.5M to ensure a $4.5M investment program for 2025 at Gold Orogen; as such both the assets in Yukon and NB will be drilled in the upcoming exploration season in the new year. Post-money, Gold Orogen will be at $12M+.

A gold asset on the Mother Lode Belt with MRE: 1 (M&I) + 2 (Inferred) Moz Au and a 2023 PEA: USD $370M (NPV 5%) will remain in the parent co, Lode Gold. Lode Gold intends to pursue a high grade underground mine opportunity. This project sits on 100% privately owned patented land where the mining license was suspended in 1942 due to the war effort.

Spin Out Unlocks Shareholder Value: Confirmed gold endowment and RIRGS on Tombstone Belt

The spin-out will result in the formation of two pure-play companies, each focused on specific areas of exploration in Canada and the US.

Company 1: Spin Co - Gold Orogen

Asset 1:

27 km strike, 99.5 km²in Yukon, prolific Tombstone Belt (Snowline, 3 Aces, Sitka Gold)
Total of four Reduced Intrusive Targets (RIRGS)

Asset 2:

New Brunswick: Created one of the largest land packages (420 km²)
Geological analogue to New Found Gold, Galway, Calibre Mining and Puma-Kinross
Confirmed gold endowment

Company 2: Parent - Lode Gold

Lode Gold is the first company to evaluate this project from an underground perspective.

Brownfield, previously mined at 8 g/t in the 1940's.
4 km strike on the 190 km mineralized Mother Lode Belt: 50,000,000 oz produced
100% owned private and patented land: 3,351 acres, Mariposa County
California: 700 permitted mines; 14 gold
Mine suspended in 1942 due to gold prohibition in WWII
Target: 2 Moz underground 5 g/t Au
Typical Orogenic Deposit with Structural Controls
3 Step-Out Holes hit structure (up to 1,200 m)
2 nearby mines were up to 1,800 m deep at 13 g/t
43,000 m drilled with 23 km of underground workings
11% of the veins (2 of 7 deposits) exploited; mostly in the first 250 m
2023 MRE: 1 Moz (M&I) + 2 Moz (Inferred)
2023 PEA at USD $2,000/oz Au: After-tax NPV (5%) USD $370M, 31% IRR, 11 years LOM
Close to road, rail, power, water

Milestones Achieved in 2024:

1. Executed Spin Out Plan

Received conditional acceptance from the TSXV for the spinout transaction

2. Improved Capital Structure

Lode Gold added two additional key institutional and strategic shareholders
For $3M, a 19.9% strategic joint venture partner with strong technical expertise, was added to the new Spin Co
Tight share structure: 10:1 consolidation. About 40.000,000 shares outstanding for both companies

3. Cleaned Up Balance Sheet

Converted a secured debt holder to be the second-largest shareholder
Repaid shareholder working capital loan
Resolved a legacy lawsuit and eliminated a $1.6M liability

4. Enhanced Value of Assets in Yukon, New Brunswick and California

New Brunswick:
- Created one of the largest land packages in the province, potentially a district play
- Completed comprehensive geophysics and soil sampling to define drill targets
Yukon:
- Identified four RIRGS targets for exploration work in 2025
- Confirmed RIRGS at WIN; high bismuth : gold ratio, gold-bearing sheeted quartz veins, hosted in hornfels

Upcoming Catalysts in 2025

Spin Co: Shareholders get shares of a new company
Drilling to investigate 4 RIRGS reduced intrusive targets in Yukon Tombstone Belt, 200 km from Snowline
Drilling in New Brunswick assets upon systematic exploration: geophysics, soil sampling, mapping, geochemistry
California: Revised NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (updating 2023 MRE and investigating high grade underground potential)
California: Evaluate reactivating a previous mine, where the license was suspended during WWII

Invest in One Company, Get Shares of Two Companies: Optionality on three key assets

Investing in Lode Gold presents an exciting opportunity for shareholders to benefit from an advanced gold exploration project and a forthcoming spinoff with two high-value assets. This strategic move is aimed at unlocking maximum value for investors, who will gain exposure to three highly prospective gold assets through shares in two separate companies.

Wishing you a season filled with joy and prosperity.

Yours truly,

Wendy T. Chan. CEO & Director

About Lode Gold

Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD) is an exploration and development company with projects in highly prospective and safe mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.

In Canada, its Golden Culvert and WIN Projects in Yukon, covering 99.5 km²across a 27-km strike length, are situated in a district-scale, high grade gold mineralized trend within the southern portion of the Tombstone Gold Belt. A total of four RIRGS targets have been confirmed on the property. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in May 2024.

In New Brunswick, Lode Gold has created one of the largest land packages with its Acadian Gold JV Co; consisting of an area that spans 420 km² and a 42 km strike. McIntyre Brook covers 111 km²and a 17-km strike in the emerging Appalachian/Iapetus Gold Belt; it is hosted by orogenic rocks of similar age and structure as New Found Gold's Queensway Project. Riley Brook is a 309 km²package covering a 25 km strike of Wapske formation with its numerous felsic units. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in August 2024.

In the United States, the Company is advancing its Fremont Gold project. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 m drilled and 23 km of underground workings. It was previously mined at 8 g/t Au in the 1940's.

Mining was halted in 1942 due the gold prohibition in WWII just as it was ramping up production. Unlike typical brownfield projects that are mined out; only 11% of the veins - in 2 out of 7 deposits have been exploited. The Company is the first owner to investigate an underground high grade mine potential at Fremont.

The project is located on 3,351 acres of private and patented land in Mariposa County. The asset is a 4 km strike on the prolific 190 km Mother Lode Gold Belt, California that produced over 50,000,000 oz of gold and is instrumental in the creation of the towns, the businesses and infrastructure in the 1800s gold rush. It is 1.5 hours from Fresno, California. The property has year-round road access and is close to airports and rail.

Previously, in March 2023 the company completed an NI 43 101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Project Valuation has an after-tax NPV (5%) of USD $370M at $2000 2 /oz gold, IRR 31% and an 11-year LOM, averaging 118,000 oz per year. At $1,750 /oz gold, NPV (5%) is $217M. The project hosts an NI 43-101 resource of 1.16 Moz at 1.90 g/t Au within 19.0 MT Indicated and 2.02 Moz at 2.22 g/t Au within 28.3 MT Inferred. The MRE evaluates only 1.4 km of the 4 km strike of Fremont property. Three step-out holes at depth (up to 1200 m) hit structure and were mineralized.

All NI 43-101 technical reports are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company's website (www.lode-gold.com).
