Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”) - (TSX: KOR, NASDAQ:
KOR) announces it has received results from the north end of the
Mother Lode deposit which has intersected a previously unknown new
high-grade center of mineralization within the Main and CIZ target
areas (Figure 1). This new high-grade zone extends from the Main
Zone down into the CIZ target and is associated with a steeply west
dipping feeder structure (Table 1). The first core hole
(ML20-159CT) into this new feeder zone, intersected 83.9m @ 2.7 g/t
gold and 6.8 g/t silver including 12.7m @ 8.5 g/t gold and 30.4 g/t
silver (Figure 2). This new high-grade feeder is not part of the
previously announced mineral resource estimate and represents a new
expansion of the Mother Lode deposit.
The discovery of the new northern high-grade
feeder zone appears again to be directly related to an intrusive
dike and associated breccia zone, where hole ML20-159CT had a 1.96m
wide dike/breccia intercept that ran 31.34 g/t gold. We are now
designing follow up holes to chase this key mineralizing further at
depth. Unfortunately, hole ML20-158CT was lost at the top of the
Main Zone and did not test the new northern feeder zone at depth
below hole ML20-159CT. A follow-up to hole ML20-158CT is currently
being planned.
Hole ML20-135CT was drilled to test the West
Target for the down dropped western part of the Mother Lode
deposit. Hole ML20-135CT deviated during the drilling process and
the West target was never intersected in the area of the main
mineralizing structure and only low-grade gold was returned.
Jeffrey Pontius, President and CEO of Corvus,
said, “The discovery of yet another high-grade feeder zone at
Mother Lode is an important development as it is outlines what
could be an additional area of gold mineralization. As we have seen
in other, large Nevada gold Districts, these deeper, high-grade
zones can lead to a completely new series of gold zones. When we
look at the potential of the Eastern Bullfrog District with
discoveries like Mother Lode, Lynnda Strip, Silicon and C-Horst,
there is potential for the development of a large-scale production
area. Corvus has key discoveries and a large land package in this
part of the District and with its multiple deposits in the western
part of the District, has emerged as a leading District developer
for the future.”

Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking
statements and forward-looking information (collectively,
“forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable
Canadian and US securities legislation. All statements, other than
statements of historical fact, included herein including, without
limitation, statements regarding the possible events, conditions or
financial performance that is based on assumptions about future
economic conditions and courses of action; potential expansion of
the deposit; the rapid and effective capture of the potential of
our Mother Lode project; the potential for new deposits and
expected increases in the system’s potential; anticipated content,
commencement and cost of exploration programs; anticipated
exploration program results and expansion of existing programs; the
discovery and delineation of mineral deposits/resources/reserves;
the potential to discover additional high grade veins or additional
deposits; the growth potential of the Mother Lode projects; and the
potential for any mining or production at the Mother Lode &
North Bullfrog projects, are forward-looking statements.
Information concerning mineral resource estimates may be deemed to
be forward-looking statements in that it reflects a prediction of
the mineralization that would be encountered if a mineral deposit
were developed and mined. Although the Company believes that such
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements
are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect,
anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or
are those, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The
Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by
the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance,
and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward
looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but
not limited to, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of
any mineral deposits that may be located, variations in the market
price of any mineral products the Company may produce or plan to
produce, the Company's inability to obtain any necessary permits,
consents or authorizations required for its activities, the
Company's inability to produce minerals from its properties
successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to
raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its
business strategies, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in
the Company’s 2020 Annual Information Form and latest interim
Management Discussion and Analysis filed with certain securities
commissions in Canada and the Company’s most recent filings with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
All of the Company’s Canadian public disclosure filings in Canada
may be accessed via www.sedar.com and filings with the SEC may be
accessed via www.sec.gov and readers are urged to review these
materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to
the Company’s mineral properties.
Cautionary Note to US
Investors
NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian
Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all
public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical
information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise
indicated, all resource estimates contained in or incorporated by
reference in this press release have been prepared in accordance
with NI 43-101 and the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute
of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on
Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council
on November 14, 2004 (the “CIM Standards”) as they may be amended
from time to time by the CIM.
United States investors are cautioned that the
requirements and terminology of NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards
differ significantly from the requirements and terminology of the
SEC set forth in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide
7”). Accordingly, the Company’s disclosures regarding
mineralization may not be comparable to similar information
disclosed by companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Without
limiting the foregoing, while the terms “mineral resources”,
“inferred mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and
“measured mineral resources” are recognized and required by NI
43-101 and the CIM Standards, they are not recognized by the SEC
and are not permitted to be used in documents filed with the SEC by
companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Mineral resources which
are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability, and US investors are cautioned not to assume that all or
any part of a mineral resource will ever be converted into
reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be
mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any
part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher
resource category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred
mineral resources may not form the basis of a feasibility study or
prefeasibility study, except in rare cases. The SEC normally only
permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute
SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves” as in-place tonnage and
grade without reference to unit amounts. The term “contained
ounces” is not permitted under the rules of SEC Industry Guide 7.
In addition, the NI 43-101 and CIM Standards definition of a
“reserve” differs from the definition in SEC Industry Guide 7. In
SEC Industry Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a
mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted
or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made,
and a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report
reserves, the three-year historical price is used in any reserve or
cash flow analysis of designated reserves and the primary
environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate
governmental authority. The mine economics presented herein and
derived from the PEA are preliminary in nature and may not be
realized. The PEA is not a feasibility study. U.S. investors are
urged to consider closely the disclosure in our latest reports and
registration statements filed with the SEC. You can review and
obtain copies of these filings at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any defined
resource will ever be converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant
reserves.
This press release is not, and is not to be
construed in any way as, an offer to buy or sell securities in the
United States.
The United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to
mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally
extract or produce. Resource estimates contained in this press
release are made pursuant to NI 43-101 standards in Canada and do
not represent reserves under the standards of the SEC’s Industry
Guide 7. Under the currently applicable SEC Industry Guide 7
standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to
report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in
any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and all
necessary permits and government approvals must be filed with the
appropriate governmental authority. This press release uses the
terms “Measured Resources”, “Indicated Resources”, and “Inferred
Resources”. We advise U.S. investors that while these terms are
Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101, such
terms are not recognized under SEC Industry Guide 7 and normally
are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements
filed with the SEC. Mineral resources described in this press
release have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and
legal feasibility. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report
mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7
compliant “reserves” as in-place tonnage and grade, without
reference to unit measures. “Inferred Resources” have a great
amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty
as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed
that any or all part of an Inferred Resource will ever be upgraded
to a higher category. U.S. Investors are cautioned not to
assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories
will ever be converted into SEC Industry Guide 7
reserves.
