VANCOUVER - Filo Mining Corp. (TSXV: FIL) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: FIL) (OTCQX: FLMMF) ('Filo Mining' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce its results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK

2020/2021 Campaign Exceeds 8,000 Drill Metre Target, Yields Exciting Initial Results, and Supports Increased Exploration Plans

Jamie Beck, President & CEO, commented, 'It has been a really successful field program at Filo del Sol this year and with our strong treasury position we have elected to extend our drilling through the end of May 2021. As a result of this two-month extension, the Company now anticipates completing almost 12,000 metres of drilling - a 50% increase over the original plan. We are also undertaking efforts to prepare our camp to allow for year-round exploration activities, reducing the seasonality of our work programs and exploration news flow. Our initial findings have significantly expanded the Filo del Sol system, confirming the broader underlying system extends well beyond the deposit as currently defined. Clearly, we are encouraged by the early season results and look forward to reporting on additional assays once received.'

The main focus of the Company during the first quarter of 2021 was the safe and effective execution of a diamond drill program at its flagship Filo del Sol Project. The program was designed to: Explore the 1.7 km gap between hole FSDH032 and a mineralized intersection in hole VRC093; Clarify the geological controls of significant zones of high-grade copper, gold and silver mineralization present within the overall mineralized envelope and Allow for a portion of the sulphide mineralization to be added to Filo del Sol's Mineral Resource estimate by tightening the drill spacing within this deeper mineralization.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has successfully completed approximately 8,500 metres of core drilling for the campaign, which exceeds the goal set at the outset. More importantly, the Company's initial assay results from the current program have been positive and put the Company in a strong position to exceed its operating objectives for the season.

The Initial assay results consist of complete assays on four completed holes, and partial results for another two holes. Key highlights of the initial results reported to date include: Step-out holes FSDH043 and FSDH044 extend the known mineralization 1 kilometre to the north and 200 metres to the east, respectively. Both holes intersected grades which increased with depth and both ended in mineralization; FSDH040 provided infill of the large gap between the long, high-grade intersections from last season's program. Although FSDH040 was lost prior to reaching its target depth, it returned 117.5m of 0.69% CuEq (0.45% Cu; 0.29g/t Au, 2.4g/t Ag) starting from 94.0m, including a high-grade, supergene enriched zone of 26.0m of 1.37% CuEq (1.15% Cu; 0.28g/t Au; 2.3g/t Ag); Holes FSDH037 and FSDH041 extended the deposit's high-grade silver zone by 600 metres, and increased the total length of the silver zone to over 2 kilometres. Full assay results for both these holes are pending and Hole FSDH042 discovered a new oxide gold zone 1.5 kilometres north of the main deposit, which confirms the vast exploration potential that still exists at Filo del Sol and that the larger system extends beyond the boundaries of the known deposit. This hole is highlighted by 48m at 1.01 g/t gold.
