Falcon Acquires Ground Along the Baie Verte Brompton Line, Contiguous with Marvel Discovery, Central Newfoundland

Falcon Gold Corp. (TSXV:FG)(GR:3FA)(OTCQB:FGLDF); ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has acquired through staking 548 claims (the "Property") totaling 13,700 hectares located along the Baie Verte Brompton Line, Central Newfoundland Belt. The Baie Verte Peninsula currently hosts all of Newfoundland's gold production. Producing mines include Anaconda Mining Inc.'s Point Rousse gold mine and Rambler Metals Mining operations. Former producing mines include the Terra Nova Mine, and deposits of the Rambler Mining Camp. All of these mines are in close proximity to the Baie Verte Brompton Line (BVBL). There are more than 100 gold prospects and zones, many of which are orogenic-style, related to major splays and related second-order structures linked to the Baie Verte Brompton Line.Falcon has acquired ground over a 50km corridor along the BVBL

The Property
The new claims are also 13km southwest of the Glover Island Trend ("GI Trend"), an 11 km mineralized corridor host to 17 base metal and polymetallic mineral prospects as well as numerous gold showings and anomalies. The GI Trend also hosts the Lunch Pond South Extension Deposit ("LPSE") owned by Mountain Lake Resources. The LPSE hosts indicated and inferred resources of 120,000 ounces of gold (P&E Mining Consultants Technical Report, June 2017). The GI Trend and new Property lies adjacent to the BVBL, a major crustal scale suture which separates the Humber Zone Terrane to the west from the central Newfoundland Dunnage Zone to the east. The GI Trend hosts numerous gold anomalies that cross-cut several rock types.

The new land acquisition is also proximal to the Four Corners Project held by Triple Nine Resources (Figure 2). The Four Corners Project consists of iron-titanium-vanadium-mineralized rock which has been outlined for 3,000 metres in strike with intercepts 200 metres wide and 600m vertically. The project contains sufficient tonnage and grades to warrant developing a world-class mineral resource (https://triplenineresources.com/2020/10/triple-nine-updates-new-initiatives-on-the-four-corners-project/).

Commentary
Mr. Karim Rayani, Falcon's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are extremely pleased to have acquired an extensive land package that lies within a major continental-scale structural corridor with occurrences of gold, base metals, PGE's and vanadium. The Baie Verte Brompton Line is home to some of Newfoundland's largest defined gold deposits. Falcon's ground is contiguous with Marvel Discovery, giving us a strong foothold in the area. We look forward to initiating high-resolution magnetic surveys over our entire property position and integrating mineralization trends and historical results to vector exploration efforts to those areas of high merit."
