Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”) - (TSX: KOR, NASDAQ:
KOR) announces it has received results from four additional drill
holes in the new Lynnda Strip oxide gold discovery (Table 1, Figure
1). These results are continuing to expand this large, new, oxide,
bulk tonnage, Nevada gold discovery with ML20-186 returning 108.2m
@ 1.13 g/t Au, hole ML20-188 with 114.30m @ 0.96 g/t Au and hole
ML20-189 with 178.3m @ 0.66 g/t Au in the upper zone followed by
100.6m @ 0.94 g/t Au in the lower zone. In addition, these results
continue to expand the large vein systems found in this deposit as
shown in holes ML20-186 (36.6m @ 2.75 g/t Au), ML20-188 (64m @1.19
g/t Au) and ML20-189 (10.7m @ 2.85 g/t Au). The Lynnda Strip
deposit is demonstrating good continuity across its width and the
large vein/stockwork zones within it. The thickness, grade and
strong oxidation of this new discovery make it an ideal target for
open-pit mining and heap leach processing.
Hole ML20-190 was lost in the upper part of the
Upper Lynnda Strip Zone at 219 metres down hole due to poor
drilling conditions. This depth is close to our projected major
structural zone in between our Lynnda Strip and South Merlin zones
and will be addressed with several reverse circular (RC) and
core-tail holes to connect the two areas with potential for a major
vein system on the bounding structure.
Corvus will continue to expand the Lynnda Strip
discovery with an initial mineral resource estimate planned for
early fall of this year to assess its potential value for a future
mining operation. In addition, Corvus has a number of other targets
in the region that it will look to address in the future to
determine how extensive this new gold system is regionally. Given
the positive results from several new covered targets and the
abundant drilling activity in the eastern part of the Bullfrog
District, Corvus expects to see other discoveries and expansion
results over the coming year.
Jeffrey Pontius, President and CEO of Corvus,
said, “The recent Lynnda Strip discovery is an example of the
potential that exists in the re-emerging Bullfrog Gold District.
These new covered target discoveries have opened the door to not
only the potential of the Mother Lode to Silicon belt but the
District as a whole. As Corvus continues its drive to add value for
its shareholders across our large District-wide land package, the
Company is also focused on delivering the first producing mine in
the District at its North Bullfrog Project. As a first mover for
District gold production, the Company will be in a unique position
as a key player in further district consolidation. Corvus, as a
District leader in exploration, discovery and gold production will
leverage its strategic land position for the benefit of its
shareholders, our communities and the region as a whole.”

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 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.
