Vancouver - Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G) ('Maple Gold' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that drilling has resumed at the Douay Gold Project in Quebec, Canada following a short break to prepare for fall and winter operations.

Douay is held by a 50/50 joint venture (the 'JV') between the Company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited.

Fall 2021 drilling is underway at Douay with the first drill rig now on site. A second drill rig is expected to arrive in early December to commence a planned Phase I drill program at the Company's 100%-controlled Eagle Mine Property ('Eagle'). Drilling will continue with two rigs through Q1 2022 to test additional targets as part of the JV's planned winter 2022 drill campaign.

Matthew Hornor, President and CEO of Maple Gold, stated: 'We are incredibly excited to get the drills turning again at Douay and also look forward to testing high priority targets at Eagle in a matter of weeks. In addition, we are working closely with our JV partner to refine drill targets for the winter 2022 campaign, with up to 20,000 metres of planned drilling during the next six months across our 400 km-2 property package. Based on the JV's exploration success last season, we anticipate generating compelling drill results that advance the Company's mineral potential across multiple deposits.'

About Maple Gold

Maple Gold Mines Ltd. is a Canadian advanced exploration company in a 50/50 joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited to jointly advance the district-scale Douay and Joutel gold projects located in Quebec's prolific Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt. The projects benefit from exceptional infrastructure access and boast 400 km2 of highly prospective ground including an established gold resource at Douay (RPA 2019) that holds significant expansion potential as well as the past-producing Eagle, Telbel and Eagle West mines at Joutel. The Company also holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Eagle Mine Property.

The district-scale property package also hosts a significant number of regional exploration targets along a 55 km strike length of the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that have yet to be tested through drilling, making the project ripe for new gold and polymetallic discoveries. The Company is well capitalized and is currently focused on carrying out exploration and drill programs to grow resources and make new discoveries to establish an exciting new gold district in the heart of the Abitibi.
