QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

DECEMBER 2021

Discovery Alaska Limited (ASX: DAF) ("the Company") is an Australian based mineral exploration company with a 100% interest in the Chulitna Project in Alaska, USA.

The Company provides the following update for the Quarter;

Exploration Activities

Chulitna Project (Alaska) (100% interest)

The Company continued works to progress activities at the Chulitna Project in Alaska, including key milestones -:

Completing the maiden exploration program, via a sampling program with 253 samples collected and achieving analysis results up to 73.9g/t Au, 1500g/t Ag & 21.1% Cu.

The exploration works identified surface mineralisation at the Partin Creek prospect and surrounding areas.

The project contains multiple prospect targets for varying commodities, including gold, silver, tin, copper & base metals.

The Chulitna Project comprises 308 State mining claims covering 199.4km2, is located on State of Alaska public lands, and is not subject to any Native Title claims, native lands, or native claimant groups. The project lies approximately 250km north of Anchorage and close to the major Parks Highway, which runs mostly parallel to the State owned Alaska railroad.

Partin Creek Prospect

The Company engaged an experienced and well-credentialed Alaskan professional geological consulting services group to conduct and manage the field exploration program, which comprised the collection of 253 samples (167 rock samples and 86 talus fines samples) and geological mapping works at targeted prospect sites within the project area.

The main exploration program objective was to duplicate the known gold occurrences at the Partin Creek prospect and expand works to the northeast and southwest, to target a robust and coherent gold system with considerable strike length.

A total of 167 rock samples were analysed, with results achieved up to 73.9g/t Au, 1500g/t Ag and 21.1% Cu. Other significant rock sample analysis results include 30g/t Au, 28.7g/t Au, 477g/t Ag, 414g/t Ag, 2.63% Cu and 2.62% Cu. The rock sample analysis results with >5g/t Au are shown below.

Table 2. Chulitna Project - Talus Fines Sample Analysis Results (with >0.5g/t Au)

The Company is encouraged by the exploration sampling results achieved at the Partin Creek prospect during this phase of work, and will now prepare next stage follow up works with the aim to identify priority sites for subsequent potential drilling works.

The Company will continue to review and assess the historical exploration works and results from other priority prospects within the project area.
