Donald (Dan) M. Clark, the President and CEO of the Company, comments: “The Company will primarily focus on stripping the gold bearing Green Carbonate Zone at surface and other known near surface targets as well as follow up drilling on the 100% optioned Link-Catharine property located 25 km SSE of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada. The Link-Catharine property is contiguous to the 102 sq km of mineral claims acquired in June 2021 by the Company in this part of the Abitibi greenstone belt now totalling 104 sq km of mineral claims controlled by RTM. This entire region of the south-western portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt is becoming very active. RTM has encountered significant gold mineralization on the Link-Catharine property over the past nine months. Northstar Gold Corp. (“Northstar”), located about 3 km north from the entire 104 sq km RTM Catharine claim block, has recently announced significant gold intercepts from its drilling and has initiated a significant exploration program on its properties. Kirkland Lake Gold Corp. has acquired 9.9% of the common shares of Orefinders Resources Inc. (“Orefinders”) as well as entered into a $60 million strategic alliance with Orefinders. The Orefinders property is located about 3 km from the RTM 104 sq km block. RTM is the largest claim holder in this under explored region of the Abitibi greenstone belt of Ontario, which represents a newly emerging Canadian gold exploration camp involving both major and junior gold companies. In an effort to advance exploration on the Company’s Catharine properties in a significant manner over a multi-year period, the Company will now seek an Option / Joint Venture partner on its entire 104 sq km mineral claims in this area.”

The Company cautions that mineralization on properties held by RTM may not be indicative or comparable to gold mineralization on adjacent properties, including but not limited to, those held by Northstar and/or Orefinders.
