INDEPENDENCE GOLD COMMENCES 4,100 METRE DRILL PROGRAM AT 3TS PROJECT, BC

Independence Gold Corp. has begun a diamond drill program at its 100-per-cent-owned 3Ts project, located approximately 185 kilometres southwest of Prince George, B.C., and situated 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.'s Blackwater project, which recently announced the receipt of the B.C. Mines Act permit for the development of its Blackwater mine.

The winter drill program will consist of approximately 28 drill holes totalling 4,100 metres; it will be focused on the Tommy vein system and an area approximately 200 m around it. The targets were selected based on the updated resource which was completed in 2022 by SGS (see the news release dated Aug. 18, 2022) and will test significant gaps within the Tommy vein systems. Additional drilling will focus on testing targets along strike of the vein systems and new veins discovered during the fall 2022 exploration program, as well as testing the potential porphyry targets outlined by the previous geophysical surveys conducted in 2021. The estimated budget for this drill program is $1.1-million.

The primary focus of the drill program is to increase the National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate which has been calculated for the Tommy and Ted-Mint vein systems. The combined in-pit and underground components of Tommy and Ted-Mint vein systems contain a total inferred resource estimate of 4,469,297 tonnes grading 3.64 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 96.26 g/t silver at a cut off grade of 0.4 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) in-pit and two g/t AuEq underground, containing 522,330 ounces of gold and 13,831,415 ounces of silver, totalling 678,156 AuEq ounces.

The 3Ts project comprises 15 mineral claims covering approximately 5,200 hectares in the Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. The 3Ts project covers an epithermal quartz-carbonate vein systems within which more than a dozen individual mineralized veins, ranging from 50 m to more than 900 m in length and true widths up to 25 m, have been identified.

Andy Randell, PGeo, the company's qualified person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the technical information in this news release.
