Gatling Establishes Continuous 4.5 km Gold Strike; Connects all 3 High-Grade Deposits at the Larder Gold Project

• Upcoming Catalysts. Gatling is mobilizing a second drill rig to accelerate the ongoing drill program. To date, 3,000 meters of the 13,000-meter program have been completed.

Nav Dhaliwal, President and CEO for Gatling, commented, "We are thrilled to have connected the three high-grade deposits at Larder. Prior explorers believed these were standalone deposits but, thanks to the remarkable success of Gatling's program, we've established continuous 4.5 km strike length and proved the existence of single, very large gold system. It is a tremendous milestone for the Company and our shareholders, and we are now mobilizing an additional drill rig as we push towards our next goal of further deposit growth.

Nathan Tribble, VP Exploration for Gatling, commented, "The Gatling technical team saw the potential to connect Fernland to the Cheminis deposit early in the drill campaign. Now that we have proven the continuity of mineralization over 4.5 kilometers, we have our sights on the expansion of near surface mineralization potential at Fernland. Fernland is the least explored of the three deposits and we intend to test continuity of mineralization down plunge and along strike in upcoming drilling phases."

About Gatling Exploration

Gatling Exploration is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on advancing the Larder Gold Project, located in the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt in Northern Ontario. The Larder property hosts three high-grade gold deposits along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break, 35 kilometers east of Kirkland Lake. The project is 100% controlled by Gatling and is comprised of patented and unpatented claims, leases and mining licenses of occupation within the McVittie and McGarry Townships. The 3,370 hectare project area is positioned 7 kilometers west of the Kerr Addison Mine, which produced 11 million ounces of gold. All parts of the Larder property are accessible by truck or all-terrain vehicles on non-serviced roads and trails.

QA/QC

Drill core is logged and sampled at the Larder Gold project site. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw with half sent for assay at SGS lab in Cochrane, Ontario. The other half is secured and retained on site. All samples are analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning greater than 5.0 g/t gold are analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Certified reference standards and blanks are routinely inserted into the sample stream as part of Gatling's quality control/quality assurance program.
