Additional High-Grade Mineralization Outlined In C-West Main Vein

VANCOUVER - Canagold Resources Ltd. reported on the C-10 vein, C-West Main vein (CWM) and a new deeper vein in seven more drill holes from the expanded drill program at its 100% owned New Polaris Gold project located in northwestern British Columbia, 100 kilometers (km) south of Atlin and 60 km northeast of Juneau, Alaska.

Highlights: 7.41 grams per tonne ("gpt") Au over 3.5 meters ("m") from 483.7 m in the C-10, 7.70 gpt Au over 2.2 m from 549.8 m in the CWM and 7.54 gpt Au over 18.6 m from 679.8 m down hole in a new vein in Hole 22-1844E2W1A; 4.68 gpt Au over 1.4 m from 462.7 m in the C-10 vein, 10.1 gpt Au over 3.1 m from 539.7 m in the CWM and 12.3 gpt Au over 2.3 m from 578.5 m down hole in a new vein in Hole 22-1844E2; and 5.27 gpt Au over 22.6 m from 453.2 m in the C-10 and 16.0 gpt Au over 6.1 m from 571.8 m in the CWM in hole 22-1844E2W2A.

Scott Eldridge, CEO, said, "We are pleased to announce the first two intercepts on a new vein that is deeper than the current maximum 600m depth of our resource. The grade and thickness of this new vein is of particular interest, over 18 meters in one hole, which puts it on the top 10 list of drill intercepts in the table below covering our recent 30,000 meter drill program. This speaks to the depth potential to expand the resources at New Polaris, typical of other mesothermal gold deposits around the world. We continue to unlock shareholder value by demonstrating the potential to add resources at New Polaris."

Three of the other holes (21-1692E2, 21-1722E1W1 and 22-1700E2A) drilled into a region of elevation change in the geological model towards the southwest where the CWM structurally thins then widens again at significantly deeper elevation down dip as seen in holes 21-1844 and 21-1844E2W1A. This deeper repetition of the CWM style gold mineralization was observed in intercepts from other infill drill holes including 21-1783E4 and 21-1844E4 as well as previous drill holes such as P95C40, P95C44, P95C44A and 06-1685DE1.

The infill drill program was completed by the end of February 2022 for a total of 30,000 m in 54 drill holes. Assay results have now been received for 50 holes. The samples collected from the mineralized zone in all of those holes have been submitted to the ALS Geochemistry lab in Whitehorse, YT for gold analysis. Results from the remaining holes will be released as they are received in the coming weeks. Drilling equipment is being stored on site ready for the start of the next drilling campaign in the summer of 2022.

The current drill program is designed primarily to in-fill drill the Inferred Resources of the CWM vein system within the currently defined resources in the PEA*. The infill drill holes range in depth from 300 to 650 m and are designed to provide greater density of drill intercepts (20 - 25 m spacing) in areas of Inferred Resources between 150 and 600 m below surface. The improved drill density will be used to upgrade parts of the Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources for inclusion in a future feasibility study.
