Getchell Gold Corp. Plans to Upgrade Mineral Resource Estimate at Fondaway Canyon Gold Project, Nevada

Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) (FWB: GGA1) (" Getchell " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce plans to upgrade the Mineral Resource Estimate at the Fondaway Canyon gold project in Nevada .

Upgrading Mineral Resource Estimate

The Company published its first Mineral Resource Estimate (" MRE ")* for the Fondaway Canyon gold project (Company news release dated February 1, 2023 ), reporting:

  • Inferred Mineral Resource of 38.3 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.23 g/t Au for
    1,509,100 ounces of gold ; and
  • Indicated Mineral Resource of 11.0 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.56 g/t Au for an additional 550,800 ounces of gold ;

Of the 26 holes drilled by the Company in the Central Area of Fondaway Canyon since 2020, only 18 of those holes were incorporated into the MRE.  The results of the residual 8 drill holes were received after the cut off date for results to be included into the MRE.  All eight (8) of these drill holes, FCG22-20 to FCG22-28, excluding FCG22-24 that drilled a separate target area, reported significant intervals of gold mineralization** with the majority extending the gold mineralization beyond the extents delineated for the MRE:

Figure 1: Fondaway Canyon Gold Project – Drill Hole Location Plan Map of holes not included in the MRE (CNW Group/Getchell Gold Corp.)

A default specific density of 2.56 g/cm 3 was assigned to the rock hosting the mineralized zones and utilized in the estimation of the mineral resources.  A default value was employed as there were insufficient specific density samples previously taken to derive a representative value.  The default value is considered a conservative estimate and following a field program to measure a statistically significant population of drill core, there is the potential to increase the specific density of the host rock, thereby proportionately increasing the amount of gold estimated in the mineralized rock.

The Company is planning to initiate a specific density sampling program at the start of 2024 with those results to be incorporated into the updated MRE.

Scott Frostad , P.Geo., is the Qualified Person (as defined in National Instrument 43-101) who reviewed and approved the content and scientific and technical information in the news release.

*Notes on the Mineral Resource Estimate:

1.

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. There has been insufficient exploration to define the Inferred Resource as Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources, however, it is reasonable to expect that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.  There is no guarantee that any part of the mineral resources discussed herein will be converted into a mineral reserve in the future. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, or other relevant issues. The Mineral Resources in this report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") standards on mineral resources and reserves, definitions, and guidelines prepared by the CIM standing committee on reserve definitions and adopted by the CIM council (CIM 2014 and 2019).

2.

The effective date of the Mineral Resource Estimate is December 12, 2022, and a technical report on the Fondaway Canyon project titled "Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Fondaway Canyon Project, Nevada, USA" was filed by the Company on SEDAR+ on February 1, 2023.

3.

The independent and qualified person for the MRE, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is Michael Dufresne, P.Geo., from APEX Geoscience Ltd.

4.

The Mineral Resource Estimate is underpinned by data from 518 reverse circulation and diamond drillholes totalling 52,395m of drilling that intersected the mineralized domains.

Supplemental Financing Amendment

Further to the Company's announcement dated November 30, 2023 , and due to elevated demand, the amount of the non-brokered private placement supplemental offering (the " Financing ") has been increased, while all other terms remain unchanged.

The Financing will consist of up to 2,500,000 units (each a " Unit ") at a price of $0.10 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $250,000 .  Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant.  Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of two years from the date of closing.

This Financing forms a supplemental part to an ongoing Debenture Financing targeting a minimum of $2.5 million .  Details and terms of the Debenture Financing can be found in the Company announcement dated November 27, 2023 .

The proceeds from the Financing will be used to conduct exploration work on the Fondaway Canyon gold project and general working capital.  In connection with the Financing, the Company may pay finder's fees.

Closing of the Financing is subject to receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including acceptance by the Canadian Securities Exchange.  The securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The securities offered in the Financing have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

Corporate Update

The Company has received the resignation of John Proust as a consultant to the Company.  The Company appreciates his contributions and wishes him well in his other endeavours.
