| Karus Gold Corp (“Karus Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a corporate update which includes the 2021 exploration programs at its FG Gold project (“FG Gold”) and Gold Creek project (“Gold Creek”), both part of the 1,000 square kilometer (“km”) South Cariboo Gold Property in British Columbia. Andrew Kaip, President and CEO of Karus Gold comments, “Our 2021 exploration programs at our two highly prospective gold projects – FG Gold and Gold Creek – in the South Cariboo were a success. Both programs confirmed the orientation of the gold mineralization at each project and sets us up for targeted 2022 drilling programs that continue to expand the high-grade mineralization. We anxiously await assays from each project in the coming weeks.” FG Gold project During 2021, Karus Gold drilled 7,142 metres (“m”) in 19 diamond drill holes. The program successfully (1) confirmed the orientation of vein corridors hosting high-grade gold mineralization identified by the 2020 drill program; (2) demonstrated continuity of gold mineralization within vein corridors through 50 m spaced drill holes along trend; and (3) opened the potential for stacked vein corridors with several zones of increased veining outside of the targeted corridors. Refer to the September 23, 2021 news release for more information. Assays from the 2021 FG drill program and district area program are being processed with results expected in Q1 2022. Based on these results Karus Gold will begin preparing for a 2022 exploration program that will be directed toward expanding the high-grade gold vein corridors at FG Gold which remain open along strike and at depth. Gold Creek project During 2021, Karus Gold drilled 1,374.6 m in five diamond drill holes were completed at Gold Creek. The Gold Creek drill program was designed to confirm the orientation of high-grade gold mineralization in the Camp Zone. Based on this drill program Karus Gold is confident that high-grade at the Camp Zone strikes northwest and dips approximately 70 degrees to the northeast. The Camp Zone has been traced through wide-spaced drilling for 870 m along strike and to a depth of 280 m below surface. Refer to the July 29, 2021 news release for more information. Assays are being processed and expect to be announced early 2022. The Company is planning a Phase 2 drill program at Gold Creek with the aim of expanding the dimensions of high-grade gold mineralization at the Camp Zone.
