(CSE:ELEM, FSE 7YS0, OTC:ELMGF) is pleased to announce several updates related to its Nevada Portfolio:<\/p>\n<p><span> Highlights of Element79\u2019s Nevada portoflio since acquisition in 2021: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> A portfolio of 16 projects was acquired as an \u2018all or nothing\u2019 package from Waterton Global Resource Management in December 2021. \u00a0The Company has subsequently reviewed, updated and expanded historical data sets, and ultimately divested of many projects with an eye to generate shareholder value. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Two projects sold to Centra in 2023 \u2013 Stargo and Long Peak. \u00a0Long Peak 43-101 expected to be complete during late summer 2024. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Company made the strategic decision to not renew the claims on eight projects due to being very early stage and outside of the Company\u2019s parameters to work on; data rooms for these projects were retained. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Maverick Springs project was purchased with a 1,8M oz AuEq Historical Reosurce, which the Company reviewed, reworked and increased the Mineral Resource Estimate to 3,71Moz AuEq. \u00a0Maverick Springs was sold to Sun Silver on May 8, 2024, with cash received being used to pay off \u00a0debts and accounts payable; the Company retained 3,500,000 shares of Sun Silver Limited (ASX:SS1) at 0.20 AUD as an investment in the development of the Maverick SPrings asset. \u00a0The Company will hold and divest of these shares strategically over time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Valdo portfolio \u2013 Original option expired. \u00a0In discussions with multiple counterparties for sale of the same projects, anticipated closing in 2024. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Clover, West Whistler \u2013 portfolio under review, currently in discussions with third parties to sell <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Valdo Package Reset for Sale <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Company confirms the expiry of the previously-announced Letter of Intent (\u2018LOI\u2019) with Valdo Minerals Ltd. for the purchase of the North Mill Creek, Elder Creek, and Elephant Projects, including all land claims and historical databases relative to the projects therein. \u00a0 The original LOI was established on November 17, 2022 with an original closing date of July 15, 2023. \u00a0As the parties communicated through the process and were working towards a closing, a 60-day extension was granted, which has expired. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Company is in discussions with two parties regarding these same projects with the intent to close the sale of them within 2024. \u00a0Element79 Gold Corp. remains committed to the successful completion of the divestiture of these projects and believes that it will come to commercially beneficial terms for their sale in the near term. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The North Mill Creek Project <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The North Mill Creek Project (\u2018 <\/span><span> North Mill Creek <\/span><span> \u2018) is comprised of 6 unpatented claims located at the margins of the Goat Window in Lander County, Nevada. The Goat Window is an exposure of lower plate rocks beneath the Roberts Mountains Thrust which are the preferred carbonate host of Carlin-type gold deposits. Previous drilling completed at North Mill Creek yielded encouraging results warranting follow-up exploration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Elder Creek Project <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Elder Creek Project (\u2018 <\/span><span> Elder Creek <\/span><span> \u2018) is comprised of 23 unpatented claims which cover the historic Elder Creek open-pit mine in Lander County, Nevada. Elder Creek is hosted in upper plate rocks where the mine area is believed to represent leakage from the deeper lower plate of the Roberts Mountains Thrust, suggesting that deeper targets could host significant mineralization within faulted and anticline folded sedimentary beds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Elephant Project <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Elephant Project (\u2018 <\/span><span> Elephant <\/span><span> \u2018) is comprised of 197 claims located at the foot of the mine dumps at Nevada Gold Mines\u2019 Phoenix operation. Elephant hosts a covered pediment target with various depths of cover based on the displacement of fault blocks. Limited past drilling has confirmed the presence and mineralization of the Elephant target model. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Remaining Nevada Portfolio Under Review <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> With the sale of Maverick Springs bringing attention to the Company, it has been fielding calls with counterparties inquiring about the remaining projects in the Element79 Gold Corp portfolio, Clover and West Whistler. \u00a0These projects have been visited and are under review by the Element79 Gold team, being weighed for further development and dealing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Clover <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Clover is in Elko County in township 38 range 44 and in township 37 range 44. The property <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> comprises 162 claims over 3,063 acres. Clover is positioned over felsic volcanics and tuffaceous sedimentary rocks. \u00a0 Two sets of conjugate faults strike across or adjacent to the property, with each of these fault systems projects to a major Au producer. \u00a0Past project owners had drilled 104 holes and have completed remediation work; past drill results include: JK-4C were 32\u2032 at 25 g\/t Au with a peak intersection of 2.5\u2032 at 274 g\/t Au; CL-13 intersected 25\u2032 at 7.85 g\/t Au; USCV012 intersected 10\u2032 at 20.4 g\/t Au. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> West Whistler <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 19km West of Eureka, Nevada, West Whistler \u00a0is a moderate group of 103 claims over 2,057 acres in Eureka County. \u00a0Regionally proximate to the former Barrick, current-day i80 Gold Ruby Hill Mine. \u00a0Historic work includes mapping, soil sampling, VLF survey and 6 drill holes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> \u2018Element79 Gold has been on a constant mission to continue unlocking additional value from the vast portfolio of projects that had been amassed over the past few years, with the intent to create value for our shareholders. \u00a0The current market trend of rising gold and silver prices, as well as the business- and mining-friendly state of Nevada are key points that have driven past sales as well as current (potential) transactional counterparties to reach out on the remaining Battle Mountain projects in our portfolio.\u2019 stated James Tworek, CEO and Director of Element79 Gold. \u2018We, with industry teammates and transactional counterparties, have always believed the Battle Mountain Portfolio contains several notable future targets which warrant extensive exploration and prospecting to further validate historic high-grade samples and drilling results. \u00a0We have seen success in other sales from the portfolio, and we continue to pursue this strategy of unlocking value for our shareholders, and to increase focus on exploring and developing our core high-grade, past-producing Lucero project.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Qualified Person <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The technical information in this release has been reviewed and verified by Kim Kirkland, Fellow of AusIMM #309585, Chief Operating Officer of Element79 Gold Corp, and a \u2018qualified person\u2019 as defined by National Instrument 43-101. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> About Element79 Gold Corp<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Element79 Gold is a mining company focused on gold and silver committed to maximizing shareholder value through responsible mining practices and sustainable development of its projects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Element79 Gold\u2019s focus is on exploring developing its past-producing, high-grade gold and silver mine, the Lucero project located in Arequipa, Peru, with the intent to restart production in the near term. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Company holds a portfolio of five properties along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada, and the projects are believed to have significant potential for near-term resource development. \u00a0The Company is currently reviewing the Battle Mountain portfolio for exploration and development or sale. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> The Company also holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Dale Property, 90 unpatented mining claims located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, and has recently announced that it has transferred this project to its wholly owned subsidiary, Synergy Metals Corp, and is advancing through the Plan of Arrangement spin-out process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> For more information about the Company, please visit its new website: <\/span><span><span> www.element79.gold <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Contact Information For corporate matters, please contact: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> James C.
