Details of Knights Phase 2 Drill Program
Orefinders has completed its 4,400 metre Phase 2 drill program at the Knight Gold Project located in the Shining Tree district of the southern Abitibi belt about 100 kilometres southwest of Kirkland Lake, Ontario . The Phase 2 program focused on extending mineralization proximal to the historical Tyranite Mine (Tyranite Zone) and testing new exploration targets to the South of the Duggan Zone, located about 1,500 metres to the west of Tyranite. The best intercept was in TRY21-003 (drilled at the Tyranite Mine area) with 4.67 g/T over 4.6 meters from 216.4 to 221 meters. Drill hole TRY21-004 also had an intercept of 2.01 g/t over 2 meters from 120 to 122 meters, corresponding to the deeper intercept in TRY21-003. These intercepts are located 30 to 75 metres south of previously announced intercepts reported in 2021 and continue to show the expansion potential for mineralization in this area

A map illustrating the locations of the Tyranite and Duggan zones and the Phase 2 drill holes is provided in Figure 1 where representative sections showing significant results are presented.

Drill targets were defined based on a combination of geostatistical analyses of gold distributions at the Tyranite and Duggan zones and on recently completed structural and geophysical models that have led to a refined understanding of the structural setting of gold mineralization at the Knight Project and to the identification of new exploration targets.

Three drill holes totaling 1913 meters were completed to test a newly identified target zone located about 1,100 metres to the South of the Duggan Zone (inside the dashed oval in Figure 1) where multiple N-S and E-W structures form a complex structural domain associated with magnetic anomalies. These three drill holes encountered strongly silicified and altered rock, but little economic mineralization. All Phase 2 drill holes have been completed, and all assay and material results have been returned and reported.

McGarry Drilling is Ongoing
Orefinders began drilling on its McGarry Project on February 9 and has thus far completed 2,391 metres of a planned 4,000 metre drill program. Additionally, Orefinders has submitted 1240 samples to the lab for assay. The Company notes that it has engaged a new assay lab for the McGarry Project and has been advised to expect results within a much faster turnaround rate.

Agnico Eagle Joint Venture
Orefinders congratulates it new Joint Venture partner, Agnico Eagle, in completing its merger with Kirkland Lake Gold . Orefinders has engaged with senior management at Agnico Eagle and confirms that the planned exploration spending for 2022 is increased by 50% of 2021

Orefinders Strong Cash Position Provides Opportunities for Growth
Orefinders strong treasury ( $6 million in cash and a total of $9.8 million in working capital on a marked to market basis) and unique situation whereby Agnico Eagle is funding the Company's exploration activities provides Orefinders with the opportunity to evaluate other strategic investment opportunities. Orefinders has been very active in evaluating such opportunities and expects that such a transaction is likely to occur.
