TORONTO - MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: BMK, OTC: MCDMF) ('MacDonald Mines' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. has completed work on the MacDonald Mines 100% owned' SPJ Project near Sudbury, Ontario.

GoldSpot was engaged to apply their proprietary machine learning applications ('AI') and geoscience expertise to assist the Company in expanding discoveries and identifying new high-priority target areas.

Highlights of the GoldSpot-Macdonald Mines Collaboration

53 exploration targets identified on the SPJ Project including five areas of high priority

Three of the five high priority areas, Glade, Alwyn and McLeod, correspond to targets identified by the MacDonald Mines exploration team over the last year and a half for their gold ('Au') and polymetallic potential

GoldSpot's AI and geoscience work indicate that the Alwyn, Glade and McLeod targets could extend over strike lengths between 1 and 3 km

2 new areas were identified by GoldSpot as high priority areas, namely the Scadding Trend and Pine

The Company will begin mobilizing for an oriented drilling planned at Alwyn and Glade (1,500m)

Greg Romain, President & CEO, commented; 'The excellent work undertaken by the GoldSpot technical team along with their machine learning application helped corroborate our team's work to date, while expanding our understanding of the potential for much larger gold systems on our land holdings around the Scadding, Alwyn, Glade, McLeod and Norstar areas.' Mr. Romain added, 'While I have only been with MacDonald Mines a short time, I have grown more impressed by the potential that exists on this large land package that the Company has compiled, not only for gold, but also for key battery metals such as nickel ('Ni'), cobalt ('Co'), copper ('Cu'), and platinum group elements ('PGE'). I look forward to providing updates on the results as we progress.'
