VANCOUVER - Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM) ('Element79 Gold', the 'Company') is pleased to follow up on its initial public offering ('IPO') where it successfully began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the 'CSE') as of August 3, 2021 under the stock ticker symbol 'ELEM', with an overview of its work plan on the Dale Property slated for late summer and fall of 2021.

2021 Work Plan Overview: Targeting Bulk Tonnage Gold Mineralization

Following up on the high-resolution data obtained from the drone-based magnetic survey completed by the Company in early 2021, the Element79 Gold team plans to conduct soil sampling, mapping, prospecting and trenching to follow up historic prospecting by the vendors of the property which has returned up to 3.82 g/t gold, including several highly anomalous samples grading greater than 0.1 g/t gold(1). These highly anomalous prospecting samples are associated with zones of strong silicification and disseminated pyrite which Element79 Gold believes are prospective for bulk tonnage style gold mineralization.

Surrounding Area Hosts Some of the World's Largest Gold Deposits

The Dale Property is a highly prospective early-stage gold project located in the Swazye greenstone belt, which is turn is part of the Abitibi Subprovince which hosts some of the world's largest gold deposits, e.g. the Timmins camp which has produced over 70 million ounces of gold. The Swazye greenstone belt is best known for hosting IamGold's Cote Lake deposit which contains 10.2 million ounces Measured and Indicated and 3.8 million ounces Inferred(2), and is located 50 km southeast of the Dale Property. The Cote Lake project received a Positive Construction Decision in July 2020(3) and plans to achieve commercial production in 2023.

Strong Gold Market Outlook Presents Prime M&A Environment

Element79 Gold believes market conditions are ripe for value-driven gold acquisitions and is actively reviewing several advanced project acquisition opportunities. The Company expects to create significant additional value for its investors both immediately and over the long term as a result of its growing M&A pipeline. In fact, Goldman Sachs' latest research note forecast gold at USD $2000/oz in 3, 6, and 12-month horizons.(4)
