Prime Meridian Resources Corp. Overview of Red Lake Projects

Prime Meridian Resources Corp. (TSXV: PMR) ("PMR" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following overview of both the Company's projects and its neighbors' activity in the Dixie Lake area of the Red Lake Mining District of Ontario. Historically, the Red Lake Mining District has produced approximately 30,000,000 ounces of gold.

PMR's total land position in the Red Lake Dixie area now comprises 10,180 hectares. The Company's claims in the Bruce Lake and Camping Lake projects now cover approximately 8.5 kilometres of the Pakwash Lake Fault Zone and 18.0 kilometres of the Sydney Lake Fault Zone (Figure 1).

Deep Fault Interpretation

The source of gold mineralization at the main mine trend at both Red Lake and the LP Zone of Great Bear Resources' Dixie Project is believed to be related to a similar deep crustal source. A 2006 geophysical survey suggests that the same structure associated with GBR's LP Zone is associated with the Pakwash Lake Fault Zone (PLFZ) and Sydney Lake Fault Zone (SLFZ), which underlie a large extent of Prime Meridian's newly-expanded land position (Figure 2).

A 3D seismic traveltime tomography cross-sectional interpretation from Zeng and Calvert (2006) identifies two major crustal-scale structures underlying the Red Lake district. One structure is associated with the main mine trend at Red Lake (right, north along cross-section), while the second structure is believed to be associated with the LP Fault Zone of Great Bear Resources' Dixie Project (left, south along cross-section). (1)

Activity in the Dixie Region of Red Lake

The Great Bear Resources Dixie project is one of the largest recent gold discoveries in Canada. To date, GBR has completed a total of 630 drill holes (283,000 metres), identifying three high-grade gold discoveries. The most significant discovery is the large-scale "LP Fault" zone, which comprises high-grade disseminated gold mineralization within broad moderate-to-lower-grade envelopes in felsic volcanic and sediment units. The LP Fault drilling has identified gold mineralization along 11 kilometres of strike length to date and GBR is expected to publish an initial NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate for the Dixie project in early 2022. (2)

The BTU Metals has discovered a potentially large VMS style Cu-Ag-Au alteration system called the TNT Target (which now includes an option of the GoldON Resources Pakwash North claims) BTU recently completed IP surveys and an EM survey that has resulted in the identification of priority targets on the Pakwash North claims which are directly to the north of PMR's claims. BTU reported on June 1, 2021: "The strongest geophysical targets from the TNT geochemical-geophysical study are on the Pakwash North property and plans are being made to drill these targets in the coming months." (3)(4)

Golden Goliath Resources have been drilling their Kwai project, focused on identifying and delineating gold deposits associated with crustal-scale fault structures. This drilling to date, has been concentrated on the Pakwash Lake Fault, a major east‐west trending fault in the Dixie region. Currently, GNG drilling is moving in an easterly direction toward PMR's claims along the Pakwash Lake Fault. GNG reported on August 25, 2021: "We are excited about finding alteration and similar stratigraphic units that occur on the GBR Dixie property. For some time we have felt that the Kwai property covers the south flank of a regional fold that repeats the geology of the Dixie property." (5)(6)

The Great Bear Resources Pakwash project is located southeast of its Dixie project and covers portions of the regional Pakwash fault structure central to PMR's claims in the area. Historical work on the property identified gold lake sediment anomalies that coincide with regional fault zones and gold in-soil anomalies. (7)

Trillium Gold Mines have been building an extensive claim position over the regional Sydney Lake Fault zone through its Leo and Karas projects on the western and eastern flanks of PMR's claims on the same fault.

PMR is currently finalizing a geological and work program overview for its claims in the Dixie Lake area of the Red Lake Mining District.

Overview

Prime Meridian Resources Corp. (TSXV:PMR) is building a balanced portfolio of projects that target both cash flow generation and focused exploration to development in Mexico. Once Prime Meridian takes control of these opportunities, the company works to maximize exploration and development and operational efficiencies to provide streamlined productivity and growth as projects are put into operation. This model allows Prime Meridian to accelerate the development of its assets, generate revenue faster and ensure rapid scaling while providing continuing exploration value.

“The Red Lake gold district in Ontario hosts some of the richest gold deposits in the world and, as evidenced by the recent high-grade discovery of Great Bear Resources, the region remains a major gold exploration opportunity,” said Prime Meridian CEO Brian Leeners.

Chen Lin: Gold, Silver Prices Breaking Out, My Stock Strategy Now

Chen Lin of Lin Asset Management discusses what's behind gold's latest price move.

"Recently the stock in China's gold futures market just went parabolic — that actually preceded the recent gold breakout ... both had been rangebound for a long, long time, and then suddenly started breaking out two weeks ago," the expert explained.

What Was the Highest Price for Gold?

Gold has long been considered a store of wealth, and the price of gold often makes its biggest gains during turbulent times as investors look for cover in this safe-haven asset.

The 21st century has so far been heavily marked by episodes of economic and sociopolitical upheaval. Uncertainty has pushed the precious metal to record highs as market participants seek its perceived security.

And each time the gold price rises, there are calls for even higher record-breaking levels.
