UrbanGold Announces up to 102 g/t Au in Additional Grab Samples at Pallador

In total, 544 grab samples have been submitted for analysis and results for 476 of these have been received to date with best results associated with mafic, gabbroic and dioritic type lithologies.

To date, 43 grab samples returned anomalous gold (greater than 0.1 g/t Au). Assay results for 68 grab samples remain pending at this time. In addition to the grab sampling, 659 soil samples were taken over the area, for which results have been received recently and are being reviewed. The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective samples and may not necessarily be representative of the mineralization hosted on the Property.

All grab samples were collected by hand and were located by hand-held GPS, bagged and tagged with certified blanks and standards inserted with the sequence, sealed, and delivered to Laboratoire Expert in Rouyn-Noranda. All samples were crushed and pulverized. The samples were analyzed for Au, Ag, Cu, Zn. The gold value is determined by fire assay with a finish by atomic absorption. If the grade was over 3 g/t Au, the assay was then reanalysed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry. The metallic content is analysed by aqua regia. The laboratory also runs their own duplicates and repeat analyses, as well as internal blanks and standards that are reported to the Company. Grab samples are selective samples and may not necessarily be representative of the mineralization hosted on the Property. We invite readers to visit our website for additional information on the project and sample locations.

Mathieu Stephens, UrbanGold President and CEO, commented: "The adjacent discovery made by Kenorland appears to be an important one and the data they made public in their press release yesterday shows just how widespread the mineralization may be in the area. Given that our team sampled gold in gabbroic/dioritic lithologies similarly to Kenorland, indicates to us that a lot more work is required in the area to fully comprehend the type of mineralization and the controlling structures we are dealing with. All our explorations efforts will be dedicated to our Pallador property in the near future."

UrbanGold's exploration team is scheduled to return to the Troilus-Frotet area later in the week and will commence exploration on the 100% owned Diléo-Nord block located further north and closer to the past producing Troilus Mine where a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment was recently announced by Troilus Gold (August 31, 2020 news release). The Dileo-Nord block was acquired by the Company this past July due to its strong potential for gold mineralization. The block contains several historical gold occurrences, including a drill intersection of 31 g/t Au over 1 metre (Sigeom Database) which was never followed-up on. Numerous other occurrences are also present as are unexplained chargeability anomalies. A map is adjoined showing the centrally located Dileo-Nord block.
