Austin Gold Corporate Update

December 22, 2023

Vancouver, BC, Canada -- Austin Gold Corp. ("Austin" or the "Company") (NYSE American: AUST) provides the following corporate update.

As reported previously, the Company completed a drilling program on the Miller Project, Elko County, Nevada. Four holes totalling 6,565 feet (2,001 meters) were drilled to target Carlin-type gold mineralization hypothesized to occur beneath Quaternary gravels and Tertiary volcanic rocks. The primary purpose of this drilling program was to determine if suitable Carlin-type host rocks occurred at reasonable depth in areas with gold and multi-element biogeochemical anomalies. A thorough evaluation of data from the drilling program has been completed.

The project no longer meets the objectives of the Company and it has been returned to the property vendors.

Austin Gold Corp. is fully funded for all planned exploration programs.  Austin continues to review other projects that may have exceptional discovery potential for economic gold/silver deposits.

Robert M. Hatch, the Qualified Person for Austin Gold as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has approved the scientific and technical information in this news release.

Austin Gold Corp. has engaged the services of Savvy Social Management Corp. ("Savvy") to help raise on-line marketing awareness and to provide a comprehensive digital media marketing campaign for the company. The company has entered into a media services agreement with Savvy dated December 13, 2023, whereby the services to be provided by Savvy will include digital media, marketing strategies, advertising, and awareness campaigns for a fee of US$75,000 per month. The agreement is month to month and may be terminated by either party upon fifteen days notice. Savvy and Austin are not related parties and operate at arm's length. Neither Savvy nor its principals have any interest in the company's securities, directly or indirectly, or any right or intent to acquire such an interest.
