Norden Crown Completes High Resolution Ground Magnetic Survey At Fredrikssons Gruvan, Gumsberg Project

Norden Crown Metals Corp. (" Norden Crown " or the " Company ") (TSXV: NOCR) (OTC: NOCRF) ( Frankfurt : 03E) is pleased to announce completion of a 450 line-km ground magnetic survey at the Fredrikssons Gruvan prospect (" Fredrikssons Gruvan ") in the Bergslagen province of Southern Sweden . This is the largest and highest-resolution magnetic survey completed in the history of the area.

The magnetic survey follows up on the first three discovery holes at Fredrikssons Gruvan, drilled in the winter of 2021, where all three holes intersected significant mineralized widths ranging from 8.15 to 13.6 metres of precious and base metal (see Table 1), massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralization, within a geological setting unique to mineralization belonging to the Broken Hill Type (" BHT ") clan of silver rich zinc-lead ore deposits.

"The preliminary results of this large ground based magnetic survey are exciting and provide new prospective on the potential for additional BHT mineralization" stated Patricio Varas , Executive Chairman. "This high-resolution magnetic survey allows us to track magnetite-rich bands of sedimentary rocks that we know are associated with BHT mineralization which we will refine in the coming weeks and use to guide additional exploration drilling at Fredrikssons Gruvan".

Significant drill intercepts (see News Release dated March 1, 2021 ) by Norden Crown demonstrate that silver-lead-zinc mineralization is spatially associated with magnetite-rich chemical sedimentary rocks, which are highly magnetic and can be tracked effectively in the surface and subsurface using a ground magnetic geophysical survey (Figure 1). Norden Crown is interpreting the newly collected magnetic data to enhance the surface and subsurface geological understanding of Fredriksson Gruvan and track high priority magnetite-bearing rocks which maybe associated with silver-lead-zinc potential across the property (Figure 1).

About The Fredrikssons Gruvan Mine

Fredrikssons Gruvan was discovered in 1976 by LKAB Prospektering AB. Exploration was carried out in 1976 and 1977 including surface trenching, sampling and 9 diamond drill holes which identified precious metal enriched base metal mineralization. In 1977, AB Statsgruvor (ABS) acquired the Fredrikssons Gruvan prospect and conducted open pit test mining in 1978. Test mining was conducted to a depth of 20 metres below surface and produced 21,500 tonnes grading 53 g/t silver, 5.13% zinc and 1.7% lead, and to a depth of 20 metres. A total of 11 additional holes were drilled in 1979 to test the down plunge extent of mineralization. Between 1980 and 1981 mining activites resumed and an underground tram was installed. A total of 45,000 additional tonnes grading 49 g/t silver, 5.77% zinc and 1.84% lead were produced from workings that extend to a depth of 91 metres (4 underground levels) 1 .

Drilling at Fredrikssons Gruvan

The three discovery drill holes (see Figure 1) (totaling 569 metres) completed at Fredrikssons Gruvan were part of an eleven hole, 2,365.6 metre, diamond drill program completed at the Company's 100%-owned Gumsberg Project, located in the Bergslagen Mining Region of southern Sweden . The objective of the drill program was to demonstrate that mineralization continues beneath the historical mine workings, which extend to 91 metres below surface. The program was also designed to confirm historical silver-zinc-lead grades, thicknesses, and to test the continuity of this mineralization. Holes GUM-20-09 and GUM-20-10 are positioned 30 metres down plunge of the historical underground workings and are spaced 40 metres apart. Hole GUM-20-11 is 30 metres below GUM-20-10 (60 metres below the historical workings) (see Figure 2). Assay results from the program are presented in Table 1.

Magnetic Survey Parameters and Specifications

The area of interest for the ground survey was planned with the Fredrikssons mine as a central focus of the survey area. The survey was completed with 25-metre spaced northwest-southeast oriented survey lines, perpendicular to the regional magnetic trend at Gumsberg West. The total survey duration was 7 weeks and was concluded on April 2, 2022 .

The ground survey utilized GEM Systems GSM-19 (Overhauser) magnetometers both for the base station and for the survey sensor.

NORDEN CROWN CONTINUES TO INTERSECT COPPER AT BURFJORD JV COPPER-GOLD PROJECT

NORDEN CROWN CONTINUES TO INTERSECT COPPER AT BURFJORD JV COPPER-GOLD PROJECT

Norden Crown Metals Corp. ("Norden Crown" or the "Company") (TSXV: NOCR) provides results for an eighteen diamond drill hole reconnaissance program carried out this past summer, totaling 3,499.40 metres at the Burfjord copper-gold project ("Burfjord" or the "Project").  Significant drill results include 36 metres of 0.48% copper in hole BUR-22-017, which includes a 3.7-metre intercept with a grade of 2.83% Cu.  Significant drill intercepts are shown in Table 1.  Drilling at Burfjord was completed on time and under budget.

The Burfjord IOCG project hosts numerous high-grade veins and associated copper-mineralized alteration envelopes approximately 6 kilometres by 4 kilometres in extent.  The large associated alteration footprint and widespread copper mineralization present in historical workings and intersected in Norden's reconnaissance drilling suggests there is potential to host a large bulk tonnage copper deposit.
