Evergold Corp. (TSX-V: EVER, WKN: A2PTHZ)
(“
Evergold” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to report that a high resolution heliborne magnetic survey
over the road-accessible DEM property in central B.C. has been
completed, revealing in the process a large new target - designated
‘DEM2’ - of similar scale and geophysical character to the DEM1
porphyry prospect, and centred approximately 4 kilometres to the
southeast (Figure 1). The two prospects are separated from each
other by a granitic intrusion. The survey was completed in
follow-up to a highly encouraging 3-hole reconnaissance drill
program carried out late last year on the DEM1 prospect which
targeted a multi-element geochemical anomaly in soils overlying
compelling strong magnetic, IP chargeability and resistivity
anomalies. As reported on January 15, 2024 and highlighted below,
the reconnaissance drilling confirmed the presence of a new
porphyry system at DEM1, with initial assays (additional assays are
pending) demonstrating locally high grades within a broad,
low-grade system envelope of such high-value elements as gold,
silver, molybdenum, cobalt, tungsten, tellurium and rhenium,
indicating a richly mineralized system.
“We continue to methodically advance the DEM
property, and the story is only getting better with each step in
the process,” said Kevin Keough, President & CEO. “We will be
reporting further on our developing plans for the 2024 field
season, to potentially include a combination of drilling in
follow-up to the impressive early results from last fall’s recon
drill program, along with soil geochemical sampling and an induced
polarization geophysical survey over the newly identified DEM2
target.”
Highlight intercepts, fall 2023 drill

g/t Ag from 303 to 351.2 metres
- Including: high-grade gold: 11.98
g/t Au and 24 g/t Ag from 339 to 340.5 metres
- Including: high-grade cobalt, gold,
tellurium: 0.11% Co, 29.5 g/t Au, 22 g/t Ag, 0.19% Cu, 42 ppm Te

About the DEM Project
The 10,451-hectare DEM property, located in
moderate terrain only 40 kms northwest of Fort St. James in central
B.C., lies toward the south end of the Nation Lakes porphyry camp
and within the Quesnel Terrane, the latter of which hosts large
deposits and long-life mines including the nearby Mount Milligan
mine (50 kms to the northeast of DEM) and Lorraine deposit and,
farther south, the Mt. Polley, Afton, Copper Mountain, and Brenda
mines, in addition to the Highland Valley mines and deposits.
Located central to the DEM property is the “DEM Halo” (a.k.a.
“DEM1”) prospect, a roughly 4 km2 target area defined by alteration
and mineralogy suggestive of the presence of a porphyry system, by
a multi-element soil geochemical signature, including soil highs to
2.1 ppm Au, 160 ppm Ag, >10,000 ppm As, and 651 ppm Cu, by
compelling high-relief magnetic and IP-chargeability anomalies, and
by the presence of nearby regional scale structures. Extensive
logging in the area and associated forest service roads provide
drive-on access directly to the DEM prospect. All of these factors,
when combined, indicate excellent discovery potential for a
precious and strategic metals-enriched porphyry and related vein
systems. Further details on the DEM prospect may be found on the
Company’s website at www.evergoldcorp.ca/projects/dem-property/ and
in a NI 43-101 technical report entitled “Technical Report on the
DEM Property” dated August 30, 2023, posted thereon and on the
Company’s issuer profile at SEDAR+.
Qualified Person
Charles J. Greig, M.Sc., P.Geo., the Company’s
Chief Exploration Officer and a Qualified Person as defined by NI
43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this

About Evergold
Evergold Corp. is a TSX-V listed mineral
exploration company with projects in B.C. and Nevada. The Evergold
team has a track record of success in the junior mining space, most
recently the establishment of GT Gold Corp. in 2016 and the
discovery of the Saddle South epithermal vein and Saddle North
porphyry copper-gold deposits near Iskut B.C., sold to Newmont in
2021 for a fully diluted value of $456 million, representing a
1,136% (12.4 X) return on exploration outlays of $36.9 million.
