BALACLAVA HILL INITIAL DRILLING RESULTS VERY ENCOURAGING WITH A PEAK ASSAY OF 49.7 G/T GOLD

Mawson Gold Limited ("Mawson") (TSX: MAW) overnight issued a news release to the Toronto Stock Exchange regarding drilling results within Nagambie Resources' 100%-owned Whroo JV Property in the Waranga Domain of the Melbourne Zone. The link for the Toronto Stock Exchange is https://tsx.comand the 'Q' for Mawson is 'MAW'. Clicking 'News' then brings up all the MAW releases, starting with the newest release.

Michael Hudson, Executive Chairman of Mawson, commented in the release: "There remains a lot of gold to be found in Victoria. Our drilling below one of the largest historic epizonal mines in Victoria, at Balaclava Hill, has produced the best drill result on the field since hard rock mining commenced 167 years ago. Grades up to 49.7 g/t gold over

0.6 metres are impressive as are the antimony grades including 0.2 metres @ 16.5% antimony, and the +200-metre-wide zone of anomalous "mine sandstone" host. These results provide [Mawson] with its second bona fide high grade drill project [in Victoria] …."

The Whroo goldfield lies to the east of the Heathcote-Mt William Fault Zone, 35 km northeast of the Costerfield gold-antimony mine and 40 km east of the Fosterville gold mine. There has been no detailed geophysical data collected over the goldfield to date, but the regional Bouguer Anomaly image shows Whroo is located above a local gravity high, as is the Fosterville mine.

The significant intersections of stibnite (antimony sulphide) clearly indicate that the target below Balaclava Hill is high grade gold-stibnite, epizonal, Fosterville-style mineralisation. Mawson are comparing the early Whroo intersections with the published orebody dimensions and grades at the Costerfield Mine, the 6th-highest-grade global underground gold mine and a top 5 global producer of antimony.

In the first year of the option / joint venture agreement, Mawson has spent $400,000 on exploration on the Whroo JV Property and paid $100,000 cash to Nagambie Resources for a 0% interest. Mawson must now spend a further $500,000 on exploration and pay a further $50,000 cash to Nagambie Resources before 2 December 2022 to earn a 25% interest. Mawson can earn up to 60% or 70%, at Nagambie Resources' option, by expending a total of $2.75 million or $4.25 million respectively.

Mawson has transferred its' Australian interests into Southern Cross Gold Pty Ltd ("Southern Cross") which is working towards an A$8 to A$10 million initial public offering ("IPO") on the ASX in coming months in order to significantly increase its' gold exploration in Victoria. Southern Cross recently raised A$2.725 million to fund its' ongoing drilling and IPO costs.

EXTENSION OF NAGAMBIE RESOURCES' 2022 SPP

In light of the very encouraging initial Balaclava Hill drilling results, the Board of Nagambie Resources has extended the Closing Date for applications for the Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") by two weeks from Thursday 24 February 2022 to Thursday 10 March 2022 (refer page 2).

NAGAMBIE RESOURCES

Oriented diamond drilling of Fosterville-style, structural- controlled, high grade sulphide-gold underground targets within the Waranga Domain tenements is being methodically carried out.

Nagambie Resources and Golden Camel Mining (GCM) have received approval for the construction and operation of a gold toll treatment facility at the Nagambie Mine. GCM will pay 100% of all construction and commissioning costs; thereafter all revenues and costs will be shared 50:50.

Underwater storage of sulphidic excavation material (PASS) in the two legacy gold pits at the Nagambie Mine is an excellent environmental fit with a major infrastructure project for Melbourne such as the North-East Link.

Recovery of residual gold from the 1990s heap leach pad using naturally- occurring bacteria is being investigated.

Mining and screening of sand and gravel deposits at the Nagambie Mine to produce sand and quartz aggregate products is also planned.

Figure 3 shows the drill trace for MDDBC001 below the Balaclava Hill historic workings and the Whroo1 hole drilled in 1973 by Newmont and ICI. The deeper broad mineralised zone in MDDBC001 of 44.8m at 0.8 g/t gold (refer Table 2) relates well to the 63.0m at 0.35 g/t gold intersected in the shallower Whroo1 hole and could indicate that grade increases with depth.

Nagambie Resources understands that the peak gold assay in MDDBC001 of 49.7 g/t gold is the highest gold grade ever intersected in a deep diamond hole in the Waranga Domain (the northernmost domain in the Melbourne Zone). The significant intersections of stibnite (antimony sulphide) within the MDDBC001 hole clearly indicates that the mineralisation below the surface oxide zone at Balaclava Hill is gold-stibnite, epizonal, Fosterville-style mineralisation.

The Whroo goldfield (indicated in gold within the dark-blue Whroo JV Property in Figure 2) consists of the Balaclava Hill area which contains thirteen named reefs mined from an open pit and 137m deep shaft, while shallow workings extend across the trend over 14 km. Total production from the Whroo goldfield was estimated at 40,000 ounces of gold, at grades varying from 5 g/t gold to greater than 700 g/t gold from reefs and spurs within an E-W-striking pyritic sandstone. Based on the detailed logging of MDDBC001, gold at Balaclava Hill appears closely associated with quartz veins, arsenian-pyrite and stibnite. Arsenian-pyrite has also been logged by Nagambie Resources in the recent NAD-series of deep diamond holes targeting the Nagambie Mine Feeder Zone.

As Mawson noted in its' TSX release: Antimony is a critical metal, where China produces approximately 53% of the raw material and processes 80% of global production. Antimony alloys with lead and tin which results in improved properties for solders, bullets, bearings and batteries. Antimony is a prominent additive for halogen- containing flame retardants. Antimony is also used as a dopant in semiconductor devices. Mandalay Resources' Costerfield Mine is the target model sought by Mawson at Whroo. The widths and grades observed in Mawson's initial drilling are consistent with those observed from Costerfield, which is located 35 km SW from Whroo (refer Figure 1). The Costerfield mine corridor contains 2 million ounces of equivalent gold (pers. comm. Mandalay Q3 2021 Results), and in 2020 was the 6th-highest-grade global underground gold mine and a top 5 global producer of antimony. Average drill hole widths and grades at Costerfield are: Brunswick lode (0.7m @ 9.0 g/t Au and 4.0% Sb); Youle lode (0.4 metres @ 47.7 g/t Au and 11.4% Sb); Kendal Splay (0.3m @ 92.8 g/t Au and 41.3% Sb); and Peacock lode (0.4m @ 13.0 g/t Au and 6.0% Sb). The average vein width at Augusta is 0.3m, while the Cuffley lode averages 0.4m. Average mined widths at Costerfield are 2.0 metres (Mandalay Technical Report, 2021).
