Two target types are currently recognized on the property.
The first target type is high-grade gold and silver hosted in veins in their boiling zones. Some of these targets in Nevada are known to host significant high-grade gold systems. Twin mineralized rhyolite domes on the Silver Bow property contain swarms of banded veins that are mineralized but untested in their boiling zones. A historic hole east of the target domes cut a vein that historically assayed 3.2 meters of 1.46g/t gold and 403.2g/t silver at a depth that may have been close to the vein’s projected boiling zone. Two kilometers to the east, a dump sample that visually appeared to represent boiling zone veining assayed 293 g/t gold, suggesting gold in the boiling zones can also be enriched.
The second target type at Silver Bow is near-surface bulk-tonnage deposits, which are the dominant deposits in Nevada. Silver Bow has at least three of these targets that are currently identified and only slightly explored. The very limited exploration to date yielded encouraging results. For example, a key bulk target is the Breccia Ridge on the north face of the northern of the twin rhyolite flow domes. Anomalous to multigram gold samples were assayed across the entire surface extent of the breccia zone. Rock chip sampling of the Breccia Ridge target returned gold assays ranging from 0.1 g/t gold to 3.7 g/t gold over an extensive area. A second very extensive bulk tonnage target is on the south dome. It is less understood as exposures are limited.
A third bulk tonnage target found 2 kilometers east of the domes may already have been “tagged” by Provenance’s drilling. The two northernmost drill holes contained thick intervals of gold and silver mineralization. Starting at surface, the two holes contained 46.7m of 0.34g/t gold and 10.6g/t silver and 80.6m of 0.246g/t gold and 14.6g/t silver. Another hole intercepted 1.5m of 3.92g/t gold and 58.9g/t silver. This appears to project northeastward into an area that is mostly covered with a thin veneer of colluvium but still has multigram gold and silver bearing outcrops.
Provenance believes the Silver Bow property has exceptional exploration potential. However, the Company recognizes its limited resources are best spent on its two more advanced properties, White Rock and Eldorado. These are already established gold systems with respectively 100 and 242 holes that only need infill and step-out drilling.
With this consideration, Provenance is entertaining potential joint-venture partners for its promising Silver Bow property.
Rauno Perttu, Provenance CEO said, “I think Silver Bow is a discovery waiting to happen, but as a small company we have to put our exploration effort into the immediate opportunity that the Eldorado and White Rock projects allow.”
Provenance will be releasing a NI 43-101 technical report on the Silver Bow property in the coming weeks which will include substantially more detailed information.

September 22, 2022 – Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) (the “Company” or “Provenance”) is pleased to report:
Eldorado Permitting Update
As noted in the Company’s July 20, 2022, press release, Provenance received approval from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for its planned Eldorado property drilling program. The Company also completed the bond payment to the BLM. Additionally, Provenance has submitted the requested reclamation bond amount to the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Company anticipates starting the drilling program this fall. The Eldorado property contains an extensive gold system that was defined by 242 historic drill holes. The Company’s technical team has now finalized plans and confirmed drill targets for the upcoming program.
In addition, the Company plans to issue an initial NI 43-101 technical report on the Eldorado property within the next few weeks.
Silver Bow Property Option Terms Update
The Company has reached an agreement to revise the terms of its existing option to acquire the Silver Bow property. To exercise the option, the Company is now required to complete further cash payments totaling US$510,000, of which US$20,000 has now been paid and a further US$70,000 is owing each year for the next seven years. All exploration expenditure requirements have been eliminated.
A retained one percent NSR (Net Smelter Royalty) may be purchased for an additional $500,000.
The Silver Bow property is located in south central Nevada about 50 miles east of Tonopah, south of the Round Mountain gold mine, and northeast of Goldfield.
Silver Bow contains an extensive gold and silver mineralization system that is at least five kilometers in length. The property contains scattered historic high-grade gold and silver workings and small historic mines. Numerous surface samples taken by historic exploration companies and by Provenance contain high-grade gold and silver within an extensive area of bleaching, alteration and brecciation.

Provenance Gold Updates Company Plans for 2022
Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) (the “Company” or “Provenance”) is pleased to provide an update on the focus of exploration priorities to our shareholders. The Company’s current focus is the White Rock property and our recent acquisition, the Eldorado property, and these will be our priority in 2022. Both may contain significant tonnages of bulk mineable gold mineralization.
The Eldorado property will receive early focus in 2022 as historic data suggests it could hold an up to multimillion ounce drilled gold resource. The Company is currently in an early stage of data acquisition, verification and compliance that will result in the completion of a NI-43-101 resource technical report. As part of this effort, a drill program that will focus on quality control, data validation and verification of historic assay results will be completed as soon as is practical. Field work will start in March weather permitting after the winter season. Drill permitting can then begin when the government agencies approving drilling applications have cleared the drill sites. This process is expected to take approximately 30 days.
The Eldorado property is located in eastern Oregon near the Idaho border in mining-friendly Malheur County. Significantly, there is ongoing permitting for new mine development in close proximity to the Company’s new acquisition. Provenance has consulted regulators regarding the Eldorado property and as a result of these discussions believes the Company will be successful in permitting the various stages of the project as the Company moves it forward. Provenance holds the right to acquire 100% interest in the Eldorado property, subject to a retained royalty to Nevada Select Royalty Inc. (“Nevada Select”). Nevada Select is an arms-length subsidiary of Gold Royalty Corp. (NYSE: GROY), a leading growth and Americas-focused precious metals royalty company.
The right to acquire the Eldorado project was awarded to the Company by Nevada Select in large part due to the hard work and substantial progress made to date on the White Rock property in Nevada, USA. While Provenance already holds significant properties in Nevada, the Eldorado acquisition enables the Company to potentially develop its gold portfolio significantly in 2022.
The White Rock project will receive additional drilling, with already approved drill permits following the completion of work during the early part of the year at Eldorado. This year Provenance drilled 34 holes into a portion of the available targets on the large four-square kilometer initial target area at White Rock. After adding and integrating the historic 67 drill holes with the Company’s holes, the Company plans to complete the first NI-43-101 technical report before renewed drilling starts some time mid-year.
These two resource reports will afford the Company initial gold resource estimates on two major gold properties within 2022. The Company is currently in a favorable cash position and is very mindful of dilution and shareholder value. As a result, the Company only plans to initiate select and strategic funding until such time as both initial resource estimates have been made public.
Rauno Perttu, the Company’s CEO stated “We are excited to commence an initial resource estimate for our White Rock property and feel this is a major asset for the Company in its own right. However, whenever you get an opportunity to acquire something as significant as the Oregon property for only a couple dollars or less per ounce in-ground value, you can’t ignore the major value it immediately adds to the Company. We are committed to the long-term success of the Company and to proving up real resources within a finite timeline. These properties along with the others in our portfolio should fast track these plans exponentially in 2022”.
The Company will be issuing a series of updates starting early in 2022 on the progress of all the Company’s projects as well as a full wrap-up and report on the White Rock drill program completed this year. As noted, the Company will also be releasing an initial resource estimate when available in the new year.
On behalf of everyone at Provenance, we wish you a Happy Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year.

December 13, 2021 – Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) (the “Company” or “Provenance”) is pleased to report that it has signed a binding option to purchase the Eldorado Property in eastern Oregon from Nevada Select Royalty, Inc. (“Nevada Select”). Nevada Select is an arms-length subsidiary of Gold Royalty Corp. (NYSE: GROY), a leading growth and Americas-focused precious metals royalty company. Provenance has completed the first year’s payment of the option to purchase. The Eldorado Property hosts a significant historical gold resource in eastern Oregon. The project area is located on top of a large gold placer area and is located in the mining friendly part of the state.
The Eldorado property was first explored in 1980 by Westley Mines. Exploration continued intermittently up until 1998 by Degerstrom, Ican Minerals, Billiton Minerals and lastly North Limited. There has been no work done on the property since 1998. Previous work on the property included 236 reverse circulation holes and 6 core holes for a total of 21,866.9 meters of drilling, including trenching, soil sampling, metallurgy, geophysics, and resource modeling.
Assay intervals from selected core holes show the overall tenor of the deposit, for example:

Mineralization remains open to depth and peripheral extensions of the deposit.
The project hosts three different historical resource estimates done by reputable engineering firms based in Denver. The first was done by Billiton Minerals USA after 150 holes had been drilled. Billiton estimated an open-ended resource of 776,000 ounces contained in 36,000,000 tons at 0.75 grams per ton (0.0219 ounces per ton) gold. The second resource estimate was calculated by Ican Minerals after they completed an additional 49 drill holes. Their resource estimate was 1,860,000 ounces contained in 90,000,000 tons at 0.76 grams per ton (0.022 ounces per ton) gold. Ican then subsequently projected the resource to contain 4,000,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.76 grams per ton gold (0.022 ounces per ton) gold.
Provenance believes the shallow gold resource would be amenable to open-pit mining and anticipates this acquisition will place the Company on a substantially more advanced footing.

The Company plans to move the project forward as quickly as possible with confirmation drilling beginning within the first quarter of 2022.
Rauno Perttu, Provenance’s CEO stated, “We have three exceptional Nevada projects that we will continue to advance, but this acquisition is significant for our Company. My site inspection made it clear the property is very open-ended. I am an Oregon registered engineering geologist familiar with both the improving positive regulatory climate in that part of Oregon and with Oregon geology. I was reassured by a veteran Oregon regulator that this project is very feasible.
I personally am excited about this project because, while I believe that with continued drilling, our Nevada projects will advance significantly and become large deposits of their own, this is already a major deposit, with average grades higher than many current open-pit gold operations. I am pleased that Nevada Select Royalties allowed us to undertake this opportunity, which they said was awarded to us because of our excellent track record in advancing the White Rock project that we acquired from them earlier. An exciting bonus of the Eldorado acquisition is that the historic drilling intersected several high-grade zones and our inspection found untested diatreme-like brecciation in the mineralized core area. The boiling zones of diatremes are excellent places to explore for high-grade gold, and we already have a major deposit drilled prior to our continued work.”

The Company has been granted an option to acquire the project for total consideration of US$2,000,000, which is payable as follows:
$75,000 upon entering into of the option agreement (Paid)
$125,000 upon the first anniversary
$400,000 upon the second anniversary
$400,000 upon the third anniversary
$500,000 upon the fourth anniversary
$500,000 upon the fifth anniversary
Upon exercise of the option, the Company will grant to Nevada Select a 3% royalty on net smelter returns from the project.
The above referenced resource estimates are considered historical in nature and as such are based on prior data and reports prepared by previous property owners. A qualified person has not done sufficient work yet to classify the historical estimates as current resources in accordance with current CIM categories and the Company is not treating the historical estimates as current resources. Significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the historical estimates on the project can be classified as a current resource. There can be no assurance that any of the historical mineral resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Even if classified as a current resource, there is no certainty as to whether further exploration will result in any inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured resource category.
