Gold Terra Wedge Drilling Progressing Well at High-Grade Gold target, Campbell Shear, Con Mine Option Property, NWT
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2025 / Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSXV:YGT)(Frankfurt:TX0)(OTCQB:YGTFF) ("Gold Terra" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the 2025 control drilling is progressing well on the Con Mine Option (CMO) Property. The first steel wedge hole GTCM25-056A, designed to target the prolific Campbell Shear (CS) from master hole GTCM24-056, was set at 1,950 metres downhole and has now reached approximately 2,162 metres depth in mafic volcanics. It is anticipated to intersect the CS at approximately 2,600 metres downhole and approximately 600 metres below the underground mine workings.
The objective of the 2025 wedge hole drilling program is to continue testing for high-grade gold in the CS (past production of 5.1 Moz @ 16 g/t, refer to the Oct. 21, 2022 Technical Report) on the Con Mine below the historic Con Mine underground workings. The CMO Property is under option from a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation and is 100% acquirable by the Company upon fulfillment of certain conditions set out in the CMO Property Option agreement, as reported in the Company's news release dated November 22, 2021. The target is located downdip from the 5.1 Moz mined gold deposit plunging steeply to the south between elevation 1,900 metres (Robertson shaft depth) and 2,600 metres.
Chairman and CEO, Gerald Panneton, commented, "The wedge drilling is progressing well utilizing a very efficient and cost-effective way to assess the CS at depth. The objective of our first wedge hole is to intersect the CS and extend the high-grade gold potential at a vertical depth of 2,500-2,600 metres below surface, or approximately 600 metres below the current depth of the Robertson Shaft. Once we complete the first wedge, we will step up laterally 30-50 metres on each side of the first intersection. This target below the Robertson shaft has the potential for multi-million ounces as we are down plunge from a 5.1 Moz deposit @ 16 g/t Au mined historically at a rate of 1 Moz per 200 metres vertical on average."
Wedge Hole GTCM24-056A Highlights
Figure 1 below is a cross-section showing the master hole GTCM24-056 from which wedge hole GTCM25-056A has been set up to target the CS at depth. The CS was initially intersected at depth in hole GTCM23-055, which intersected 12.63 g/t Au over 1.7m in the CS structure approximately 150 metres below the Con Mine workings, demonstrating the potential of the CS is well open at depth. Figure 1a, further below shows wedge hole GTCM24-056A in greater detail.
IMDEX of Sudbury, a contract directional drilling crew, is currently utilizing the DeviDrill cutting tool to deviate the hole with the purpose of flattening the dip to intersect the CS as shown in Figure 1 below. After setting up a steel wedge down the hole at a depth of 1,950 metres, the tool was used to orientate the hole from 2,005 to 2,081 metres, successfully achieving a flattening from 82 degrees down to 69 degrees. Drilling was then performed from 2,081 to 2,132 metres without the tool. The second deviation, and possibly the last one, started on Monday February 24th at a depth of 2,132 metres. The hole is currently at 2,162 metres with a dip of 66.5 degrees, and when a 54 degrees dip is reached, the deviation tool will be stopped, and drilling will continue until the CS is intersected.

Meet with Gold Terra at the PDAC 2025
Gold Terra is pleased to invite investors and shareholders to meet with management at the PDAC Conference, Investors Exchange Booth # 2304, March 2-5, 2025, South Building, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto.

The 2025 deep drilling program aims to expand the September 2022 initial Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") (see September 7, 2022, press release) of 109,000 Indicated ounces of contained gold and 432,000 Inferred ounces of contained gold between surface and 400 metres below surface along a 2-kilometre corridor of the Campbell Shear (October 21, 2022 MRE titled "Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the CMO Property, Yellowknife City Gold Project, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada" by Qualified Person, Allan Armitage, Ph. D., P. Geo., SGS Geological Services, which can be found on the Company's website at https://www.goldterracorp.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Joseph Campbell, a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and Senior Technical Advisor for the Company.
About Gold Terra
The Yellowknife Project (YP) encompasses 918 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilometres of the City of Yellowknife, the YP is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power, and skilled tradespeople. Gold Terra is currently focusing its drilling on the prolific Campbell Shear, where approximately 14 Moz of gold has been produced, (refer to Gold Terra Oct 21, 2022, Technical Report) and most recently on the Con Mine Option (CMO) property claims immediately south of the past producing Con Mine which produced 6.1 Moz between the Con, Rycon, and Campbell shear structures (1938-2003).
The YP and CMO properties lie on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that hosts the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company's exploration programs have successfully identified significant zones of gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company's objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.

Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource could ever be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of "Measured Mineral Resources," "Indicated Mineral Resources," or "Inferred Mineral Resources" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The Mineral Resource estimates contained herein may be subject to legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of such mineral resources. Refer to the Technical Report, once filed, for more information with respect to the key assumptions, parameters, methods and risks of determination associated with the foregoing.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors
The Company prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to Mineral Resources in this news release are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council on May 19, 2014, as amended ("CIM Standards"). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources", which are defined in substantially similar terms to the corresponding CIM Standards. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Standards.
U.S. investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are "substantially similar" to corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any Mineral Resources that the Company may report as "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the Mineral Resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules. In accordance with Canadian securities laws, estimates of "Inferred Mineral Resources" cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.
