BMM: TSX-V       

Black Mammoth Metals Corporation (TSXV: BMM,OTC:LQRCF) (OTC: LQRCF) ("Black Mammoth" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of a ground gravity survey (the "Gravity Survey") and a pole-dipole induced polarization (IP) survey with inversion model at the Company's 100% owned 305 Property (the "Property"). The Property is situated along the Rabbit Creek Trend, Lander County, NV, which is a north-south structural zone with approximate length of 220 kms and is known to host very large gold deposits including Turquoise Ridge, Phoenix and Lone Tree mines at its northern end and the Austin mining district in the south where the Company is actively exploring multiple properties (see Figure 1).

The Company has also staked 9 unpatented lode claims on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Together with the 40 existing claims, the Property now covers a total of approximately 409 hectares (1012 acres). The Property has excellent year-round access off highway 305, 50 kms south of Battle Mountain, NV.

Gravity and IP Survey Results:
The Gravity Survey has delineated another prominent gravity high (horst structure) for the Company trending in a NS direction, intersected by a NE-trending gravity anomaly, which coincides with an overlapping and coherent chargeability high (see Figure 2). Historical reverse circulation drill holes (2018 and 2022) on the Property spaced approximately one km apart, testing for potential gold mineralization in uplifted Paleozoic rocks beneath volcanic cover, ended in a thick layer of highly silicified and sulfidic volcanics and felsic intrusive rocks. The silicified rocks exhibited characterics of lower temperature alteration suggesting being at a high level of a potentially mineralized system. The historic hole depths weren't deep enough to test the Paleozoic target sequences and there hasn't been any known drilling at the new drill target area in the south which is indicated by the Company's gravity and IP surveys.

The target concept is based on structural complexity and the identification of prominent gravity blocks, the projection of gold-mineralizing trends onto the Property, as well as the presence of McCoy-Cove type host lithologies, such as the Triassic Cane Springs Carbonates, which are exposed within a thrust window located slightly north of the Property.

The Company believes that the continuous sulfide zone may function as a cap layer and as a halo, forming a component of a potential deeper-seated McCoy-Cove carlin-type gold system. The McCoy-Cove gold system which is proximal to the 305 Property and the other mines mentioned on the Rabbit Creek Trend are not indicative of potential mineralization at 305 Property.

The Company considers the 305 Property drill ready subject to completion of a BLM Notice of Intent.

The (4) east-west IP lines were situated in the south of the Property and spaced 300m apart.

The Gravity Survey's 254 stations were spaced 100m E-W along lines spaced 150m covering the Property excluding the 9 recently staked claims area in the south.

Acquisition Terms:
The Company owns 305 Property 100% with no finder's fees, royalties, share compensation or other terms in connection with the acquisition by staking.

Black Mammoth continues to acquire non-core exploration interests in the western US, by purchase or staking.
