Gold Mountain Provides Clarification on Its July 12th Release

Gold Mountain Mining Corp. ("Gold Mountain" or the “Company”) (TSXV:GMTN)(OTCQB:GMTNF)(FRA:5XFA) would like to provide clarification on the release it put out on July 12, 2021 regarding the update to its M-199 Mining Permit amendment

It has been brought to Gold Mountain's attention that some of the language in the company's most recent press release came across as dismissive and insensitive to Indigenous Nations' laws, governments, land rights, and independent decision-making process. For that, the Company offers its sincere apologies to Elders, Leadership and community members that may have found those comments disrespectful.

While the Provincial review and the corresponding Mine Review Committee process may be coming to a close, Gold Mountain is also aware and acknowledges each respective Indigenous Nation's decision-making process may continue independently from the Province of British Columbia. To date, the Company has made a concerted effort to build strong relationships with communities that are affected by the development of the Elk Gold project and looks forward to continued collaboration with all Indigenous Nations that have interests in the Elk Gold mine.

Gold Mountain recognizes that the past year has been very difficult for many of the surrounding Indigenous Nations, given the COVID-19 pandemic, the Residential School unmarked graves tragedies and the current wildfires occurring throughout the region. Gold Mountain also wishes to communicate its commitment to continued direct engagement and consultation between the Company and each respective Indigenous Nation.

Gold Mountain also wishes to address the importance of the Environmental Assessment Act ("EA") review process, should it wish to pursue expansion of its production profile beyond what is contemplated in its current M-199 Mining Permit amendment application. The EA review has been a key discussion point and the commitment to adhere to the EA process is woven into many of the initial process agreements that are in place, or being drafted, with surrounding Indigenous Nations. The Company also recognizes that similar language could be included as a permit condition and confirms this obligation will be transferable and binding on any future holder of the mines act permits, should the project be transitioned to new ownership.

"British Columbia has a rich history of mining and resource development. Part of that history is an unfortunate legacy of mining companies completing insufficient engagement and consultation with Indigenous Nations. Since inception, the team at Gold Mountain has committed to engaging in inclusive conversations about our plans for the Elk Gold mine. It is an important part of our business to build strong, lasting relationships with all neighboring Indigenous communities and governments," commented Kevin Smith, CEO and Director of Gold Mountain.

“We received comments that our tone in the July 12th permit update came across as dismissive regarding the importance of Indigenous decision-making. This press release is about ensuring we correct our messaging, so it accurately reflects our Company's credo. We are appreciative of the local communities' willingness to review our plans to revitalize the Elk Gold mine and look forward to developing a new legacy where mining companies and Indigenous Nations can enjoy the positive net benefits of British Columbia's resource sector, while still respecting the surrounding communities and lands in which they operate.”

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.
