Press Release, Galleon Gold - Still in the Zone
Results include 11.25 g/t over 6.0 meters
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 16, 2021) - Galleon Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGO) (the "Company" or "Galleon Gold") announces additional results from its ongoing drill program at its 100% owned West Cache Gold Project, Timmins, Ontario. In addition, the Company is pleased to share core photos showing visible gold in a recently completed drill hole.
- WC-21-115 intersected 11.25 g/t Au over 6.0 meters (75 to 81 m), including 15.84 g/t over 4.0 m. The true thickness of these intervals is estimated at 96.6% of the intercept length resulting in 5.8 and 3.8 meter intervals respectively
- Visible Gold ("VG") has been encountered in hole WC-21-142 close to the bedrock surface (85m)
Results from core hole 115 are important as they highlight strong results much closer to the top of bedrock and well up-dip from some of the better results obtained to date. Adjacent drillholes could provide additional intercepts once assays have been received.
VG Encountered in Hole 142
Based on the success of intersecting Zone #9 in recent shallow angle drillholes, the Company is currently drilling a fence of similar angle holes along strike to the west. Hole 142, the sixth hole in this sequence of 10 holes, has encountered visible gold in a quartz vein at 85 meters. Importantly, this intercept is considered a step-out into an area with limited historic information and extends the prospective potential of Zone #9 further to the west.

Figures 1 and 2 show the visible gold and associated pyrite in the hole 142 core. Figure 3 and 4 provide a plan view of the Zone #9 collar locations showing the current focus area and an overview of the 2020-2021 collar locations respectively, while Figure 5 provides a cross section view of Zone # 9. A full copy of the assays and drill hole statistics, from the current drill program, is available and updated regularly on the Company's website.

Qualified Person and Quality Control
The technical content of this release has been reviewed and approved by Chris Dupont, P. Eng, a "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101 -Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Quality Control and Assurance procedures and protocol include the insertion of one blank or standard for every 10 samples submitted for assay in addition to the insertion of standards, duplicates, and blanks inserted by AGAT Laboratories using the prep facility in Timmins, ON and analytical lab in Mississauga, ON. All gold values utilize common fire assay procedures with an AA finish, although assays over 10 g/t are re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. All samples reported have been checked against Company and Lab standards, duplicates and blanks. Sample prep includes all sample material crushed to 75% passing 2 mm with a 300 g split pulverized to 90% passing 200 mesh to create the 30 gram sample for fire assay. All core logging and sampling were completed in-house at the Company core facility in Timmins, ON. Core produced in the field is delivered to the Company's Timmins warehouse every morning with all logging, cutting, labeling and bagging completed by supervised personnel. Bagged core samples for assay are picked up twice a week by AGAT personnel for delivery to their prep facility across town.
