INDEPENDENCE GOLD PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON THE WINTER DRILL PROGRAM AT THE 3TS PROJECT, BC

Independence Gold Corp. has provided an update on the winter drilling program currently under way at its 100-per-cent-owned 3Ts project. The 3Ts project is located approximately 185 kilometres southwest of Prince George, B.C., and is composed of 17 mineral claims covering approximately 8,840 hectares in the Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. The project is situated 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.'s Blackwater mine and covers a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district within which more than 19 individual mineralized veins, ranging from 50 metres to more than 1,100 m in strike length and with true widths up to 25 m, have been identified.

To date, 12 drill holes have been completed for a total of 3,222 m. Ten of the drill holes have focused on the Ted-Mint and Tommy vein systems to obtain additional information for an updated resource model. The remaining two holes included the testing of the continuation of the Ian vein system at depth and the first exploration drilling of the Alf veins.

Drill core from the completed drill holes has been logged and sent to SGS Labs for analysis. The exploration camp is currently under care and maintenance for the holiday break, and operations will resume in early January, 2025, with the expanded 10,000-metre drill program. The drill program is scheduled to run through the winter and into spring 2025.
