New Target Mining Corp. Announces Results from 2021 Soil and Rock Sampling Program at the Company's Scarlett Gold Property

News Release / VANCOUVER, B.C. / July 27, 2021 / New Target Mining Corp. ( TSX-V:NEW ) (the " Company " or "NEW"), is pleased to announce that it has received the assay results of its 2021 soil and rock sampling survey program on the Company's Scarlett Gold Property.

In May, 2021 Infiniti Drilling Corp.'s geological crew conducted a soil and rock sampling program designed to expand the area sampled during the 2020 field season in order to assist in mapping of the geology and structure of the area and potentially expand the known surface rock mineralization and soil anomalies which will assist in the delineation of potential future diamond drill targets. Samples collected during this program were sent to ALS Laboratories located in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for analysis.

The expanded soil survey was conducted with sample spacings of 50 meters with sampling radiating outwards for up to 250 meters away from the anomalous zone of Cu, Ag, Zn, As and Te soil sample results obtained in the southwestern portion of the property during the 2020 exploration program. This expanded area is coincident with a magnetic low feature on the property determined during the June 26, 2021 UAV Magnetic Drone survey. The results of this expanded sampling program successfully extended the previous known size of the Cu, Ag, Zn, As and Te anomaly, most notably, the extents of the copper anomaly. 6 of the 102 samples collected yielded copper assay grades higher than 154 ppm with the highest grade reporting 288 ppm copper.

The soil sample copper assay results are presented in the map below and are displayed transparently over top off the UAV Magnetic survey map. The attributes shown in the map demonstrate the direct correlation of anomalous copper values with a magnetic low shown in the southern portion of the UAV Magnetic survey grid which can be characteristic of a buried, near surface porphyry system at depth.

As discussed in the previous July 15, 2021 news release, Mr. David G. Mark, P.Geo. and geophysicist of Geotronics Consulting Inc. states in his preliminary interpretation of the UAV magnetic survey results, "The correlating magnetic low definitely supports this possibility since the low could be caused by alteration associated with a porphyry mineral deposit."

Additionally, a surficial rock outcrop sampling program was conducted on the property designed to follow up on the 2020 exploration program with the gold and copper assay results presented in the accompanying map below where the sample assay results are overlaid on top of the UAV Magnetic survey results.

Samples highlighted in green represent rock samples collected during the May, 2021 program.

It is notable that the anomalous rock samples collected to date are most commonly associated with veining and or intense silicification and may explain why they appear to be coincident with the margins of several of the magnetic high and low features. Kristian Whitehead, P.Geo. and geological consultant for the Company states: "We continue to be rewarded with our exploration efforts to date at the Scarlett Property. The Property continues to yield increasing evidence it hosts a proximal near surface buried porphyry system at depth and justifies additional follow up work."

QA-QC - Sampling Procedures

Infiniti Drilling Corporation collected a total of 102 soil samples at a spacing of 50 m along north-south lines spaced 50 m apart using GPS for location. Infiniti Drilling Corporation crew extracted the samples targeting the B-Horizon and placed the soil in marked kraft bags. The samples were sorted, placed in rice bags and submitted to ALS Minerals located in North Vancouver an ISO Certified Laboratory for subsequent assay analysis for gold and multi-elements. The assay processes that were employed for each soil sample conducted by ALS Minerals included: PREP-41 - Preparation package for soils/sediments and ME-MS41L – Four acid soil package (Super Trace Lowest DL AR by ICP-MS) procedure.

Additionally, Infiniti Drilling geological crew collected a total of 19 surface rock samples and recorded the geological attributes and GPS locations of each sample. The rock samples were then sorted, placed in rice bags and submitted to ALS Minerals located in North Vancouver, an independent ISO Certified Laboratory for subsequent assay analysis for gold and multi-elements. The assay processes that were employed for each rock sample conducted by ALS Minerals included: a 33 element ME-ICP61 (Four acid ICP-AES) and Au-ICP21 (Au 30 gram FA ICP-AES Finish) procedure. NEW detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data. NEW is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
