Kermode Announces Gold Assays from Eastgate, Nevada
Victoria, British Columbia - (November 4, 2021) - Kermode Resources Ltd (TSXV: KLM) ("Kermode" or the "Company") reports results from the Company's initial reconnaissance sampling at the Eastgate gold project in Nevada.
| Sample ID | Gold (g/t) | Silver (g/t) | Sample Length(m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schweiss Mine 1A | 15.26 | 39.1 | 0.5 |
| Schweiss Mine 1B | 0.25 | 2.4 | 1.09 |
| Schweiss Mine 2 | 4.12 | 91.3 | 1.3 |
| Schweiss Mine 3 | 0.73 | 6.8 | 1.7 |
| Gold Ledge Mine 1 | 0.54 | 52.3 | 1.8 |
| Gold Ledge Mine 2 | 5.08 | 114.0 | 2.4 |
| Gold Ledge Mine 3 | 0.01 | 0.3 | 1.5 |
| Gold Ledge Mine 4 | 0.03 | 0.7 | 0.4 |
Kermode CEO Peter Bell says, "I am pleased to see one channel sample return greater than ten grams gold per tonne over a half metre because it shows the presence of gold at surface around the old mines. However, I am concerned that all of the results included here could be impacted by the nugget effect because of the presence of coarse gold at Eastgate. To address this concern, additional lab testing is underway with Metallic Screen Fire Assays for all samples."
Surface samples may not be representative of Eastgate in whole or in part.

Sample Description:
The sample with the highest gold grade was collected at surface at the Schweiss Mine and serves as a clear example of high-grade gold in a recognizable geological setting. Hosted in Tertiary volcanic lithic tuff, Eastgate is typical of classic highgrade epithermal systems, which in management's opinion is similar to the nearby Bruner District and the giant Round Mountain district farther south.
The samples reported here were located at representative points along a 500 meter strike length of the "East Gate Vein". The four samples at the Schweiss Mine indicate a zone of alteration and mineralization roughly 55 meters wide at the surface in the vicinity of the historic Schweiss (Double Eagle) Mine; well-directed trenching and sampling may better expose this highly prospective target.
Initial field observations show subtle but distinct differences in strike, dip and vein / structure mineralogy, which may indicate two veins or vein sets intersecting at shallow angles or a series of en échelon veins control high-grade mineralization at Eastgate. Understanding these structural features through detailed surface and underground mapping and sampling will help guide future drilling on the property.
| Sample ID | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Schweiss Mine1A | Clay-filled breccia with misc. fragments of clay altered to silica-floodedvolcanic (rhyolite lithic tuff) and lesser quartz vein fragments. CommonFeOx (geothite). |
| Schweiss Mine1B | Clay-altered breccia in hanging wall with minor zones of weak silicificationand FeOx parallel to structure. |
| Schweiss Mine 2 | Clay-filled breccia with fragments of weakly silicified volcanic (lithic tuff) atportal of small adit. |
| Schweiss Mine 3 | Poorly defined breccia up to 60 feet wide in left rib at portal of small adit.Clay-filled breccia with fragments of clay altered to silica-flooded-volcanic(lithic tuff) with rare quartz fragments and weak to common FeOxthroughout. |
| Gold LedgeMine 1 | Clay-filled breccia with fragments of clay altered to silicified volcanic andcommon to abundant FeOx, locally gossanous. Near intersection withanother structure. |
| Gold LedgeMine 2 | Clay-filled breccia with fragments of clay altered lithic tuff, rare fragmentsof silicified tuff and quartz. Zones of strong FeOx concentrated along FWand HW, MnOx abundant in central portion of structure. |
| Gold LedgeMine 3 | Small clay-filled shears 1-5 cm with locally abundant FeOx in silicified /devitrified rhyolite lithic tuff. |
| Gold LedgeMine 4 | Clay-altered shear in deeply weathered lithic tuff with FeOx along FW &HW at portal of adit along road. |
The Eastgate Project
The Company holds an undivided 15% interest in the Eastgate Project, situated in the Eastgate Mining District, Churchill County, Nevada which covers the historic Eastgate, Double Eagle, Sunny Jim, and Gold Ledge Mines and lesser prospects. The first recorded activity in the district was in 1906 (Vanderberg p20, 1940), but mineralization in the district may actually have been known as early as 1860 when a Pony Express station was located just three miles away at a spring in Eastgate Canyon. The early history of the district is not well documented; however, Schilling, 1991 states "Past production has been more than 110,000 tons from which over $1.6 million worth of gold and silver were produced at an average grade of 0.56 ounces gold equivalent". Vanderberg 1940, p 21 reported one shipment of ore from the Gold Ledge Mine contained 0.91 opt Au and 13.44 opt Ag. Gold mineralization is localized in veins and structures parallel to, or within large northeast trending breccia zones in Miocene to Pliocene age, welded ash flow tuffs found internal to a large volcanic caldera.

All of the historical work and conclusions described above were carried out by arm's length third parties. Kermode has no information about the mining or assay methods used, or whether the work was carried out under the supervision of a Qualified Person as that term is defined in NI43-101.

QA - QC
All samples reported in this release are channel samples taken by a Registered Professional Geologist with nominal sectional channel dimensions of 3 cm deep by 5 to 6 cm wide over the entire sampled length. All samples are taken as near to normal to the apparent structures as field conditions permitted.
All assays were performed at Paragon Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada. Gold (Au) was determined by fire assay and atomic absorption finish with samples containing more than 5 grams gold per metric tonne (g/T Au) re-run by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Silver (Ag) was determined by Aqua Regia digestion with atomic absorption finish. All samples assaying over 100 g/T Ag were assayed with Fire Assay and gravimetric finish.
