High Grade Sampling Results from

Bloom Lake Project

  • High Grade copper and cobalt assays have been recorded from a grab sampling campaign at Pathfinder's 100% owned Bloom Lake Project in Gowganda, North-Eastern Ontario, Canada.
  • 14 Samples have been collected from both outcropping veins and from loose material proximal to historical trenches, adits, and shafts.
  • The better results included:
    o sample 860478 with 38.4% Cu, 0.447% Co, and 2,670g/t Ag o sample 860470 with 8.92% Cu, 0.47% Co, and 164g/t Ag o sample 860471 with 3.41% Cu, 3.15% Co and 2.84% Ni
    o sample 860482 with 3.06% Cu, 1.87% Co, 2.5% Ni and 15.1%
    Zn
  • The sampling campaign has further confirmed the geochemical fingerprint of the veins at Bloom Lake, as high grade copper and cobalt with accessory zinc.
  • Minimum expenditure requirements have been met by Pathfinder to maintain the Bloom Lake Project in good standing.

Pathfinder Resources Ltd (Pathfinder, PF1 or the Company) is pleased to announce the results of its 2021 surface sampling program completed at the Bloom Lake project, in Canada.

Results of the 2021 Bloom Lake Sampling Campaign

The 2021 sampling campaign at Bloom Lake tested the narrow outcropping vein system, which has previously had trenches and mini-pits excavated in previous exploration programmes. The location is remote and accessible on a seasonal basis.

All 14 Samples recorded significantly anomalous results which confirmed the veins as having a geochemical footprint of high copper and cobalt values with accessory zinc. Grab samples were selective in nature, and the reported mineralization and assay results may not be representative.

onlyuseA list of the samples noting the locations is attached as Appendix A to this announcement. All samples were submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd in Timmins, Ontario. ActLabs is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 ,CALA, CCIL by Standards Council of Canada.

personalGold (Au) results were determined by 30g fire assay, Actlabs method 1A2. A separate sample split was assayed by method 1E3, qua regia digest then multi-elementICP-OES for a full suite of trace elements. Silver (Ag), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) results were additionally determined by method 8-AR which is also aqua regia ICP-OES but uses dilution appropriate to

determine higher grade materials.

All of the assays are partial because of the aqua regia digest; however, they are close to total for sulphide minerals and are appropriate in the context of exploration grab samples.

Bloom Lake Project Geology and History

The Bloom Lake Project is located peripheral to a cluster of former high- grade silver-cobalt mines at Gowganda, 85km northwest of the town of Cobalt, which operated from 1910 to 1989 and where historic production from this region in the period up to the end of 1969 is reported as having been 60.2 million ounces of silver and 1.3 million pounds of cobalt.

The mineralisation within the Cobalt-Gowganda mine district comprises calcite-quartz vein systems containing native silver and cobalt-nickel-iron minerals that infill vertical fractures within the Nipissing Diabase, a set of sub-horizontal intrusive sills of dolerite-gabbro that act as host rock. The three claim blocks target the Nipissing Diabase and documented mineral occurrences within it.

The properties include mineral showings, old mine shafts and adits, yet little if any modern exploration has taken place for silver-cobalt mineralisation. Within the Bloom Lake claim block, the MDI database refers to grab samples taken in 1998 that yielded 219 to 603 g/t silver, 0.3 to 0.9% cobalt and 11.0 to 14.7% copper.
