Kermode Commences Surveying & Sampling Program at Eastgate Gold Project in Nevada

Victoria, British Columbia - (October 27, 2021) - Kermode Resources Ltd (TSXV: KLM) ("Kermode" or the "Company") reports ongoing work to better understand the mineral endowment at the Company’s high-grade Eastgate gold project in Nevada. Results are pending for assays of eight (8) channel samples collected from mineralization exposed at surface over a strike length of approximately 450 metres with further work planned in the vicinity of the old mines.

Kermode CEO Peter Bell says, “ This is my first work program ever as CEO of a public company and I am fortunate to team up with a capable crew in Nevada, including Carrington Consulting and 702 Diggers. We look forward to doing more work at Eastgate because it has a rich history, yet has only seen sporadic work in the time since Kermode first acquired an interest in the project in 2012. I think the best projects get better the more you work them and this project deserves a chance to show Kermode shareholders what is hiding at site.”

Peter went on to say, “ Kermode has 15% of a joint venture (“JV”) on Eastgate with Southern Empire, but Southern Empire is not involved in this program. It appears the JV has never been properly documented. The original 2012 option agreement details certain conditions relevant to a future JV but explicitly stated that a full JV agreement must be agreed to. Such a JV agreement was never entered into, so there is material uncertainty around the terms of this JV. Given the absence of that full proper agreement and registration of the JV, the material terms are subject to negotiation. In order to meet our fiduciary duty to Kermode shareholders that requires us to understand the projects where we have an interest, we are now funding a work program on our own.”

Kermode has tried to initiate discussions with Southern Empire but to date no agreement as to the terms of a possible JV agreement have been reached. Southern Empire carried out a diamond drilling program at Eastgate, with results disclosed September 12, 2020. Southern Empire has yet to share with Kermode any of the data collected during that drill program or during any other work carried out related to Eastgate.

Kermode plans to produce an integrated digital model based on LiDAR, geological mapping, and channel samples at the surface and underground mine workings, however, the scope and scale of this work program will depend on underground mine access.

Consulting geologist Robert Carrington comments, “I first visited the Gold Ledge when I was ten years old. I once held exploration claims covering this area in a private company and believe there is potential for a meaningful gold endowment here. My father previously had original maps of the mines but lost them decades ago and it is unclear if any other copies exist. The work program at Eastgate will consist of “state of the art” mobile LiDAR scanning of the surface and underground coupled with sampling and assaying of mineral exposures. Peter Bell helped me come up with the idea for that program years ago and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with him on this program.”

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.
