St. James Gold Corp. (TSXV: LORD) (OTCQB: LRDJF) (FSE: BVU3), St. James Gold Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from several rock sample results taken during the 2021 field season and results from the final four out of 16 diamond drill holes from the 2021 drilling campaign at the Florin Gold Project located in Mayo Mining District, Yukon Territory, Canada (Fig 1). The step-out drilling program was designed to test areas currently defined as strip ratio within the inferred resource pit shell where 2.47M oz gold inferred resource1 as well as to test additional targets with step out drilling along the Jethro Fault, both to the NW and SE of the resource. To date the fault has been traced for over 5 km of which approximately 1 km has been drill tested.

Highlights
- Rock samples taken from the two historical Treadwell Adits return high-grade gold assays of 11.15 g/t Au and 15.8g/t Au.
- Hole #DD21074 intercepted a vein within the main, mineralized Florin intrusion that returned a high-grade assay of 1.5m containing 7.08ppm Au.
- The remainder of the holes in this batch show broad intersections of gold mineralization including intermittent higher-grade intervals that will inform future drilling programs. Drilling was completed within untested areas on the flanks of the inferred mineral resource as well as untested areas considered as waste strip material within the current inferred resource pit.
- Exploration to date on the property including drilling, surface mapping, rock and soil sampling of gold anomalies has tested less than 2% of the property.
- The Florin Gold Project is a reduced-intrusion-related gold deposit located in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt. Gold mineralization tested to date is hosted in intrusive and metasedimentary rocks along a 1 km section of the Jethro fault that has been traced for over 5km of length.

Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of actual grades of styles of mineralization across the property.
Table 2: Assay results for the final four diamond drill holes from the 2021 drilling campaign
Notes:
1. True widths of intersections are unknown at this time.
2. Mineralized intervals are calculated using the weighted Au average based on length of sample, a lower cut-off of 0.3 g/t Au and an upper cut-off of 1.0 g/t Au, including low grade zones no greater than 20 metres in length.
George Drazenovic, CEO of St. James Gold comments, “We are encouraged by the high-grade rock sample results from the historical Treadwell adit area as they are located in the kilometre-scale, East Zone soil gold geochemistry anomaly which is located less than 500m from the edge of the inferred resource1. We continue to be encouraged by data collected from the 2021 exploration season which have given us valuable information to assist in guiding future exploration programs. We expect to report results from the 2021 soil geochemistry exploration campaign over the course of the next few weeks as well as to outline the Company’s plans for the coming 2022 Exploration season.”
