Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”) - (TSX: KOR, NASDAQ:
KOR) announces it has received additional drill holes results from
the Mother Lode and Lynnda Strip oxide gold discoveries (Table 1,
Figure 1). Corvus believes that these results will be an important
addition to a maiden mineral resource estimate for Lynnda Strip and
an updated Mother Lode mineral resource estimate scheduled for
later in the year. The mineralization defined in these drill holes
continues to support the large potential in the eastern Bullfrog
District along the Mother Lode to Silicon belt. Corvus remains
focused on assessing its strategic property package along this belt
by expanding its currently defined deposits as well as new target
opportunities.
Lynnda StripDrill holes
ML20-183CT (180m @ 0.79 g/t Au) and ML20-185CT (185.4m @ 0.82 g/t
Au) continue to demonstrate the thick and consistent nature of the
large oxide, Lynnda Strip deposit. In addition, these holes have
continued to expand the broad, higher grade internal vein systems
within the bulk tonnage deposit (ML20-183CT: 21.5m @ 3.32 g/t Au
& 17m @ 1.1 g/t Au and ML20-185CT: 14.6m @ 3.4 g/t Au &
6.4m @ 1.41 g/t Au). The currently defined vein systems that Corvus
has identified at Lynnda Strip appear to be coalescing toward a
large new structure target at depth, which is feeding the overall
Lynnda Strip deposit. One key element of this new high-grade target
is the structural system between the Lynnda Strip and South Merlin
deposits (Wizard Fault), immediately west of hole ML20-185CT which
is currently being tested.
Mother LodeDrill holes
ML20-174CT (26.7m @ 2.57 g/t Au & 6.08 g/t Ag including 7.3m @
4.70 g/t Au & 9.87 g/t Ag), and ML20-175CT (14.5m @ 6.48 g/t Au
& 25.9 g/t Ag), continues to expand the North Feeder Zone and
are approximately 200 metres north of drill holes ML20-160CT (30.2m
@ 1.42 g/t Au & 86.9m @ 1.65 g/t Au) and ML20-176CT (110.8m @
1.68 g/t Au, including 58.7m @ 2.47 g/t Au) from NR21-04, February
9, 2021. The new holes are suggesting the northern extension of the
Northern Feeder Zone may be thinning but increasing in grade as we
approach the Corvus property boundary, which is about 250 metres
north of hole ML20-174CT. At this point it appears that the
northern extension of the Mother Lode system could be transitioning
into an underground target that could potentially be accessed out
the bottom of an open pit.
Jeffrey Pontius, President and CEO of Corvus,
said, “With Corvus’ latest drill hole results we continue to add to
the potential of the Eastern Bullfrog District along the productive
Mother Lode to Silicon Belt. With the numerous discoveries and
positive drill results that have been returned from the Eastern
Bullfrog District, it appears this area is shaping up to host a
large production center that could involve all major land owners in
the area. With Corvus’ strong financial position and near-term
production asset at North Bullfrog, the Company is well positioned
to play a key role in the re-development of the Bullfrog Mining
District.”

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; timing for an updated
mineral resource estimate; potential expansion of the deposit; the
rapid and effective capture of the potential of our projects; the
potential for new deposits and expected increases in the system’s
potential; anticipated content, commencement and cost of
exploration 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 projects; and the potential for any mining or production at the
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.
