MINERAL MOUNTAIN SECURES MAJOR INVESTOR AND INITIAL FUNDING OF $6 MILLION USD TO DRILL STANDBY MINE GOLD TARGET

Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. has entered into an agreement with an international private investment fund to raise $6-million (U.S.) ($7.74-million at an exchange rate of 1.29) dedicated principally to drilling the company's 100-per-cent-owned, fully permitted Standby mine gold system located in the Rochford gold district in the Black Hills of South Dakota, United States. In addition to the $6-million (U.S.) the company intends on raising a further $200,000 for a total financing of $7.94-million. The financing will consist of up to 113,428,571 units with each unit comprising one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of 15 cents for six months from the date of issuance. The financing is expected to close in two tranches: a) the first tranche of $600,000 within a few weeks; and b) a second tranche for the remaining $7.34-million upon the company obtaining shareholder approval for the second tranche at a special meeting of shareholders expected to take place in late September or early October. Shareholder approval will be required for the second tranche as a result of the fund's investment becoming a control block as that term is defined within TSX Venture Exchange policies.

The financing is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued in connection with the financing will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The proceeds are to be used primarily to finance a 9,000-metre drill program at the company's largest and most advanced gold projects in the Rochford district of South Dakota. Preparations for this drill program are currently under way.

Standby mine gold target

All geologic, geophysical and drill results to date suggest a Homestake ledge-type target exists at Standby and is potentially of large scale. Mineral Mountain's goal is to extend the Standby mine gold mineralization down plunge through systematic stepout drilling along strike and down plunge in the Upper Tail to discover an ore centroid at depth.

Approximately 50,000- to 60,000 tons of ore were mined historically from the Standby mine before 1950, mostly from oxidized ores in four large open cuts connected by underground workings to a maximum depth of 130 metres. Historic outcrop surface sampling from the walls and rim of the open cuts averaged 9.1 m at 10 grams per tonne Au with grab samples up to 38 g/t Au. A shaft was sunk to the 130 m (425-foot) level and underground channel sampling assayed 10.1 m at 6.0 g/t Au. Historical drilling at the Standby mine consists of 16,360 m (53,677 ft) across 45 core holes, all in the Upper Tail mineralization. Mineral Mountain's two previous core drilling campaigns between 2018 and 2020 were successful in extending known gold mineralization from the bottom of the historic Standby mine workings from 130 metres below surface to a total plunge length of 850 metres.

Mineral Mountain's proposed drilling program in the Rochford district will focus on the Standby mine target and is fully permitted for drilling, subject to this proposed financing and COVID-19 restrictions. The 9,000-metre drilling program as currently constituted will be focused on three target areas in general: several additional holes around hole ST18-006, which cut 43.5 m at 1.21 g/t Au, including several higher-grade internal zones such as 2.5 m at 4.39 g/t Au and 1.50 m at 5.24 g/t Au. This hole was near historic drill hole BLG-UG-03 that cut 25.91 m at 3.19 g/t Au. These intercepts were 100 to 150 m below surface and represent the opportunity to outline a near-surface, high-grade ore shoot in the Upper Tail environment.

A series of proposed holes to intersect the same depth interval cut by historic Homestake Mining Co. drilling in the SM-86 and SM-87 holes thought to be the upper parts of the Standby ore centroid. These historic holes represent a significant stepout along strike and down plunge from the Standby mine and the deepest historic exploration work performed at the Standby target trend (1,000 and 1,800 m down plunge from surface, respectively). These results were highly encouraging, including 3.05 m at 10.23 g/t Au. These two holes potentially intersected the crucial Upper Tail ore centroid transition and need to be replicated by Mineral Mountain and further tested with systematic stepout drilling to confirm internally consistent high-grade gold is present.

Jeff Hrncir, MSc, the company's chief geologist, commented, "Confirming the existence of an ore centroid at Standby would be a game-changing discovery for Mineral Mountain Resources and set the stage for future resource delineation drilling."
