Vancouver, April 21, 2021 - MAS Gold Corp. ('MAS Gold' - TSX-V: MAS). As announced April 16, 2021, MAS Gold has been universally successful in binding arbitration with its former joint venture partner, Golden Band Resources Corp. ('GBN'). The decision gives MAS Gold 100% right and title to the Greywacke North and Preview-North properties and the significant gold resources identified on them with further exploration potential.

GBR retains a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR), which MAS Gold has the right to purchase for $1,000,000. The complete Arbitrator's finding is available on Sedar.

In particular, MAS now has full title to the following established resources;

  • The Greywacke North deposit: an Indicated Mineral Resource of 255,500 tonnes at 9.92 g/t Au (cut-off grade of 5 grams gold/tonne) for 81,500 ounces of gold; plus an Inferred Mineral Resource of an estimated 59,130 tonnes at 7.42 g/t Au for 14,100 ounces of gold (NI 43-101 Technical Report, June 1, 2016).

  • The North Lake deposit; an Inferred Mineral Resource of 14,110,000 t grading 0.92 g/t Au, hence 417,000 contained ounces of gold (NI 43-101 Technical Report, April 10, 2020)

In order to further expand the resources, MAS Gold's recently completed winter drilling campaign included a total of 2,912.9 meters in 15 holes at Greywacke North on the Greywacke Lake Property and 2,501.5 meters drilled in 10 holes at North Lake on the Preview-North Lake Property. Assay results are expected mid-May 2021. The proposed winter drilling of the Point target at Ramesland Lake was deferred due to insufficient ice build up.

Ron Netolitzky, Chairman, stated,'Now that we have completed the necessary arbitration, five years later, and established our title to the Greywacke Lake and Preview-North properties, we can proceed to a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the projects, which have been on hold for more than five years.

Upon compilation and analysis of the 2021 winter drill results, an expanded work program including drilling, metallurgical test work, a LiDAR survey will commence. Baseline environmental studies and community engagement, initiated in 2020., are ongoing. The primary focus of the planned work programs will be the advanced targets at North Lake and Greywacke North.

The goal of the company is to define the threshold values that could support production decisions centred around Greywacke North and North lake deposits. The presence and exploration of targets controlled by MAS Gold and other operators in the immediate area will be monitored with the objective of developing a hub and spoke approach to a central mill concept.

A separate phase of exploration work will proceed on MAS-held early stage targets with the objective of defining additional resource targets. This will include identified prospects as well as favorable structural settings.

We now look forward in moving all our goals and milestones forward. Further updates on those goals will be announced along with drill results over the next few weeks.'
