Cranbrook - Taiga Gold Corp. ('TGC': CSE; 'Taiga') and SKRR Exploration ('SKRR': CSE) has mobilized personnel in preparation for a 1600m diamond drilling program at Taiga's 100% owned Leland project located 23 kilometers southwest of SSR Mining's Seabee Gold Operation, within the Trans Hudson Corridor of east-central Saskatchewan.

SKRR has the exclusive option to earn up to a 75% interest in the 9392ha property by completing $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures, issuing 1,500,000 common shares and making $500,000 in cash payments to Taiga. Details of the option agreement are provided below. Taiga is operator of the program and has engaged TerraLogic Exploration Services Inc. of Cranbrook, BC to carry out the work.

2021 Drill Program

The 2021 winter drill program will focus on testing a 1 km strike length of the gold-mineralized shear system between the Irving Lake and Simon Lake showings. This will be the first drill program to test this orogenic gold-bearing system. Targets have been prioritized based on surface rock grab and trenching results, soil geochemistry and detailed airborne (drone) magnetic survey data. Up to a total of 9 holes from 6 pads are slated for the 2021 drill program. A budget of $750,000 has been approved for the drilling.

2020 Work Program

The 2020 summer field program at Leland included detailed prospecting and mapping, infill and grid soil geochemical sampling, channel sampling of trenches and ground truthing of EM mag anomalies generated by 2019 drone survey. Work was focused on the Michelle/Irving area (channel sampling), the East Leland target area (systematic gridded soil sampling) and the newly discovered Irvle magnetic anomaly area (prospecting and soil sampling). An ATV trail was also constructed to provide access from the main camp to the Irving and Simon showing areas. A total of 71 rock samples (34 channel, 35 grab and 2 float) and 135 soil samples were collected and submitted for geochemical analyses. Rock sampling returned values ranging from trace quantities to a high of up to 2.1 g/t Au (grab) with channel sampling returning 1.1 g/t over 0.7 m. Results of soil samples ranged from trace quantities to a high of 12.6 ppb Au. The 2020 field program was successful in verifying and extending the known strike-length exposure of several gold-bearing veins and shears within the Irving-Simon shear zone corridor.

Rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property.

About Taiga Gold Corp

Taiga Gold Corp was created through a plan of arrangement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. and owns 6 projects targeting gold in the area near the Seabee Gold Operation, owned and operated by SSR Mining Inc. Taiga's flagship 'Fisher' property is currently being explored under an 80/20 joint venture recently formed between SSR and Taiga.

Taiga's objective is to focus on the exploration and development of its gold projects located adjacent to the Seabee Gold Operation and along the Tabbernor Fault structure in eastern Saskatchewan, a highly-prospective mining jurisdiction which was recently recognized by the Fraser Institute as one of the best places in the world in terms of Investment Attractiveness. Throughout the exploration and development process, our mission is to help maintain prosperous communities by exploring for and discovering resource opportunities while building lasting relationships through honest and respectful business practices.
