"In our first month of ore delivery, we afforded ourselves additional time to calibrate our newly commissioned sample plant using some of our lower grade stockpile. We are currently working with New Gold to help ensure industry best practices are attained promptly. We have begun sampling material from our high-grade 1300 vein and are ramping to full scale production in March," commented Director and CEO Kevin Smith. "When purchasing the project from Equinox, concerns surrounding scalability, permitting timelines and a narrow vein high-grade resource were elements of our business plan that we were repeatedly challenged on. Less than three years later, our resource has more than doubled, the project is fully permitted and the mine is hitting its stride on the cusp of what we believe to be the start of a major precious metals bull run. With the operation now into cash-flow, Phase lll drill program wrapping up and us diving right into another 20,000m Phase IV drill program, our shareholders can expect a similar fast paced year of execution, as we continue developing BC's next multi-million ounce producer."

Indigenous Communities

While the Provincial review and the corresponding Mine Review Committee process have come to a close, Gold Mountain is aware and acknowledges each respective Indigenous Nation's decision-making process will continue independently from the Province of British Columbia.

Since taking over the Elk Gold Project, the Company has made a concerted effort to build strong relationships with communities that are affected by the development of the Elk Gold Project. Gold Mountain looks forward to continued collaboration with all Indigenous Nations that have interests in the Elk Gold mine. The Company also wishes to communicate that there is no time limit on direct engagement and consultation between the Company and each respective Indigenous Nation.

February Production

The Company used its first month of ore delivery to calibrate its newly commissioned sample plant and to optimize its procedures at both the Elk and at New Afton. In total, the Company delivered 2,500 tonnes of ore to New Gold, averaging a gold grade of 3.9 g/t and a sale price of $1857 USD/oz. This translated to Gold Mountain shipping 303 ounces and generating $548,862 (CAD) in revenue for its pilot run. Payment for ore delivered in each month is received within the following month.

March 2022 Guidance

With ore sampling and hauling procedures operational, Gold Mountain ramped up its production profile in March and began delivering high-grade ore from its 1300 vein.

As of March 17th, 2022, Gold Mountain has delivered 1,100 oz Au and is forecasted to deliver a total of 1,650 oz Au for the month. This translates to Gold Mountain generating anticipated revenues of $3,000,0000 in March alone.1

Guidance for April 2022

In April, the Company will continue mining the 1300 vein while concurrently exposing the high-grade 1350 vein. Gold Production is expected to deliver 1650 oz Au for the month which is in line with the Company's 19,000 oz annual production profile.
