2021 induced polarization survey

In December 2021, Abitibi Geophysics of Val-d'Or conducted an induced polarization (IP) survey on behalf of the Corporation over approximately 6 line-km. A preliminary report indicated the presence of large geophysical anomalies to the west and southwest of the Obalski deposit. The Corporation has forwarded its full drilling database for more than 525 holes to Abitibi Geophysics to enable them to correlate the geophysical data with the drilling data. The report also shows that geophysical coverage is insufficient, with a strong anomaly located on the southwestern edge of the grid. Some 9 line-km of  additional linecutting will begin in the next few days, to be followed by IP surveying.

Expansion of the Obalski property to the west

On February 10, 2022, the Company signed a property acquisition agreement with Yorbeau Resources Inc. (" Yorbeau ") to acquire Yorbeau's 51% interest in the 5 claims immediately west of the Obalski property, giving TomaGold a 100% interest in the claims. As a result, the Obalski property will consist of 74 claims covering an area of 2 724 hectares or 27 km 2 . As consideration, the Company will issue 1,500,000 common shares to Yorbeau, along with a 2% net smelter return royalty, with half (1%) redeemable by TomaGold for $1 million. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval.

"Hole OBS-21-015A continues to demonstrate that the Obalski property has excellent exploration potential at depth in terms of grade and width, and the results of the IP survey also seem to indicate exploration potential to the west of the deposit," said David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold.  "Acquiring the claims to the west was therefore a logical choice for us. The prospects for work on Obalski look very promising for TomaGold."

Current drill program under way

Drilling continues on the property, with three holes totalling approximately 2,000 m currently being drilled on section 300+00 E and an additional 500 m planned on section 175+00 E.

Sample preparation and analysis
TomaGold has implemented and is adhering to a strict Quality Assurance/Quality Control program for the current drilling program. The core is sawed in half, with one half kept as a witness sample in Chibougamau and the other half shipped directly by bus to ALS Chemex in Val-d'Or, Quebec. ALS grinds the half core to 1/8", split it into two halves and keeps one half as a witness (reject) in Val-d'Or. ALS pulverizes the other half to minus 150 mesh, takes a 50 g sample for analysis and keeps the rest, identified as "pulp".

The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by André Jean, P.Eng., the Corporation's Director of Exploration and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.

Mali Completes Takeover of Abandoned Gold Mines, Extends Push for Resource Sovereignty

Mali’s military-led government has completed its takeover of the Yatela and Morila gold mines.

Reuters reported on Monday (June 30) that according to the Malian government, control of the Yatela mine in Western Kayes and the Morila mine in Southern Sikasso has officially been transferred to the Society for Research and Exploitation of Mineral Resources of Mali (SEMOS), a newly formed entity in the country.

The Yatela mine was abandoned in 2016 by Sadiola Exploration Company — a joint venture between South Africa’s AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU,JSE:ANG) and Canada’s IAMGOLD (TSX:IMG,NYSE:IAG) — after the operators deemed continued production uneconomic despite leftover reserves.
