VANCOUVER - HighGold Mining Inc. (TSX-V: HIGH, OTCQX: HGGOF) ('HighGold' or the 'Company') is pleased to report complete assay results for the late 2021 Fall Drill Program at its Munro-Croesus project located in the Timmins gold camp, Ontario, Canada.

The 4,321-meter Program evaluated the #2 Vein and #4 Vein targets located one kilometer west of the past-producing high-grade Croesus Gold Mine. An 8,000-meter Phase 2 Drill Program is currently underway that is designed to follow-up on the successful results of the Fall Program and to test multiple other priority targets across the new consolidated Munro-Croesus gold property. Drilling has successfully established continuity of the #2 and #4 Vein structures, both along strike and to depth, with gold mineralization intersected with a high 19 of 24 hit ratio in the drill holes. The high-grade potential of these targets is highlighted by hole MC21-72 which returned 25.8 g/t Au over 1.0 meter in a 100-meter step-out along strike of the #4 Vein surface exposure.

'As we embark on a sustained, multi-phase exploration campaign at Munro-Croesus it is very encouraging to have intersected widespread gold mineralization in this initial step-out drilling on two of the known vein systems,' commented President and CEO Darwin Green. 'Our focus now is to continue systematic testing of these and the many other exciting prospects that surround the former Croesus Mine for new high-grade zones of Croesus-style gold mineralization. Our philosophy is to 'drill for structure / drift for grade' with the goal of delineating multiple permissive gold-bearing vein structures. With Phase 2 drilling now well underway, we look forward to additional results in the near term from the ongoing exploration of this recently consolidated and under explored package of prime geological real-estate.' Background on the Munro-Croesus Project

The Munro-Croesus Project is located along Highway 101 in the heart of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada's premier gold mining jurisdiction and part of the +100mozAu world class Timmins Gold District. The Project covers 51 km2 (20 mi2) of highly prospective geology situated between the Black Fox Mine Complex operated by McEwen Mining Inc. and the Fenn-Gib gold deposit being developed by Mayfair Gold Corp. and is proximal to major gold-bearing breaks. Extensive land consolidation by the Company in 2020-2021 has now unified the patchwork of patented and unpatented mining claims surrounding the Croesus Gold Mine into one coherent package and has enhanced the exploration potential of the Project. In the course of this land consolidation, HighGold has increased its land position 14X in size.
