Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2024) - Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update for the Tartan Mine property, located near Flin Flon, Manitoba.

Phase 3 Drill Program Initial Focus: Expanding the Hanging Wall Zone & Main Zone

The Phase 3 Drill Program is now underway at the Tartan Mine. The Company had deferred the start of the Drill Program to ensure that a veteran drill crew would be on site for the program.

As previously disclosed, the initial focus of the Phase 3 Drill Program is testing the western extent of the Hanging Wall Zone (HWZ), following up on two important intersections and the Main Zone record length intercept at depth.

The two important intersections of the HWZ, which remains open to the west and starts approximately 670 metres below surface, include the first hole that returned 23.8 gpt gold over 12.6 metres, including 47.6 gpt gold over 5.8 metres and the second intercept, drilled earlier in 2024, returning 20.6 gpt gold over 5.7 metres, including 30.4 gpt gold over 3.0 metres.

In the Main Zone the most important hole drilled in the earlier drill programs returned the longest intercept in the history of the Tartan Mine with an impressive 4.2 gpt gold over 53.7 metres, including 12.0 gpt gold over 8.0 metres. A detailed analysis of the drill data indicates that there is considerable potential to expand this zone to the west. Should the planned drill holes in this target area return similar assay results, it would represent a material increase to the size of the resource at the Tartan Mine.

Management believes the ability to expand these important zones remains key to unlocking value at the Tartan Mine.

Further updates on the program will follow.
