VANCOUVER, BC - Lucky Minerals Inc. (TSXV:LKY, OTC PINK:LKMNF, FRA:LKY) ('Lucky' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce it continues geological mapping, trenching and channel sampling at the Wayka epithermal gold discovery at its 100% owned 55,000 hectare Fortuna Property ('Fortuna') in Ecuador.

Wayka lies along an elevated ridge that trends northeast with elevations ranging from approximately 3,600 metres to 3,700 metres above sea level and is bound to the East by the El Buitre Porphyry and to the West by the Emma Porphyry.

Interpreting the upper portion of the high sulfidation system.

Approximately 188 metres north of Trench 14, a hydrothermal breccia 5 metres wide, comprised of silicified meta-granite and schist fragments in a silica matrix was sampled (Trench 31). Assay results returned anomalous gold (up to 0.043 g/t Au). This trench was excavated near the bottom of a partially eroded lithocap comprised mainly of silica, which is exposed as a silicified ridge. See map and a schematic cross section below.

Francois Perron President and CEO states 'The team has resumed work at Wayka. We are very pleased to continue to find feeders with silicification in these breccias. Trench 31, while showing only anomalous values of gold confirms that we continue to find the right plumbing. The system is mineralized, and we continue to find additional feeders as we go north from the initial discovery zone. As we are closer to the interpreted barren lithocap, we believe that we are relatively high up in the system and that this work is opening up the potential of the area below this anomalous upper portion.'

The interpreted schematic cross section below, shows the remnant silica cap in relation to trenches and channels sampled (T-5, T-6, T-14, C-1, C-2, C-8 and T-31). Mineralization exposed by erosion in Trench 14 returned 8.02 g/t gold across 9 metres (News Release November 18, 2021) and in Trench 21 returned 5.24 g/t gold across 14 metres (News Release April 13, 2022). Both trenches lie below the interpreted silica cap, whereas Channel 8 and Trench 31 lie within and at the base of the silica cap and returned mainly anomalous gold values. The current interpreted lithocap appears to be present at an elevation from approximately 3,697 m to 3,643 m while the higher grades trenches (trenches 14 and 21) are located at an elevation of approximately 3624 m.

Schematic Cross Section showing mineralized structures in relation to lithocap

Lithocaps associated with high sulphidation epithermal systems typically occur as silicic altered rocks with pyrite, either as stratabound replacements, veins and/or breccia cement. Silica caps are erosional remnants of what were once extensive lithocaps and may be considered the upper sections of epithermal systems. Silica caps are mostly barren and/or weakly anomalous of significant gold mineralization.

As geological field work at Wayka continues, we anticipate our understanding of the mineralized system to improve as more detailed work is completed. At present, Wayka has been observed to remain open in all directions.
