Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. announced the start of a five-week exploration field mapping and sampling program at the George Project (George) on its 100%-owned Back River Gold Project (Back River or project) in Nunavut, Canada. With the Goose Mine currently being advanced towards first gold production in 2025, exploration efforts now start to turn to George, the second most advanced of the five designated project areas within Sabina's Back River Gold District.

George, located approximately 60 km north of the Goose Mine, is host to 20 km of prospective iron formation with current resources of 7.1 M tonnes at 5.34 g/t Au for 1.2 M oz in the Indicated category and an additional 5.4 M tonnes at 6.12 g/t au for 1.1 M oz in the Inferred category. All deposits are open to depth. The George Project hosts a stand-alone camp currently being readied for this year's program with a capacity of up to 60 people.

George has not been worked for almost 10 years, while Sabina focused on advancing the Goose Mine towards production. The opening of George camp and this year's field program continues the phased strategy for pipeline growth in the Back River Gold District. George offers significant potential as a satellite mine with a suite of over 25 compelling exploration targets.

2022 exploration will focus on evolving the structural framework and controls on gold mineralization to better understand and prioritize drilling targets for new discovery and resource growth both at George and at the other project areas on the District.
