Program Highlights:
- Mineralized zone has been extended 100 m to the east, extended 50 m to the west and remains open in both directions and at depth
- Drilling intersected new high grades in a subparallel shear zone in the footwall at shallow depth
- Continuity of geological structure and model confirmed
Gold was intersected in nine of ten drill holes, expanding the extent of known gold mineralization. In addition, new high-grade intervals south of the "A" Zone have been discovered. Selected highlighted assay results from the Fall 2019 drill program are provided in Table 1 below and all assay results can be found on the Company's website at www.warriorgoldinc.com.

South (footwall) of "A" Zone:
- GK19-018: 11.52 g/t Au over 3.0 m (18 m vertical depth)
- GK19-023: 1.37 g/t Au over 1.3 m (49 m vertical depth)
- GK19-025: 11.25 g/t Au over 1.5 m (58 m vertical depth)

- GK19-025: 2.36 g/t Au over 1.5 m (117 m vertical depth)
"A" Zone:
- GK19-017: 0.70 g/t Au over 1.5 m (72 m vertical depth)
- GK19-018: 0.50 g/t Au over 10.5 m (146 m vertical depth)
- GK19-019: 1.49 g/t Au over 10.8 m (165 m vertical depth)
- GK19-022: 2.82 g/t Au over 4.2 m (200 m vertical depth)
- GK19-023: 0.58 g/t Au over 21.0 m (84 m vertical depth) including 4.36 g/t Au over 1.50 m
- GK19-025: 3.27 g/t Au over 5.6 m (128 m vertical depth)
Danièle Spethmann, President and CEO commented: "We are extremely pleased with the results of our recent "A" Zone drill campaign, which substantiates previously reported historical high-grade gold results. The mineralization remains open along strike, at depth, and now a new zone has been identified to the south. Although early in our discovery process, we continue to deliver significant and anomalous gold results. Our geological model continues to be refined, which improves our future drill targeting generation."
The target at the "A" Zone area is shear-hosted gold mineralization that strikes 110° and dips steeply to the north, at 70° to 75°. The shear varies from 1 m to 20 m in width. It has been intersected to a vertical depth of 225 m below surface and has a current strike length of approximately 300 m. The zone is characterized by moderate to strong deformation textures and structures (foliation, breccias, shears and faults) and pervasive sericite ± carbonate ± silicate alteration.
Drill hole GK19-025 was drilled in the middle of the high-grade zone and intersected 3.27 g/t Au over 5.6 m, within ~ 17 m of
Newly discovered anomalous gold mineralization has been intersected in the area of the footwall. There appears to be a subparallel zone to the main zone located approximately 50 m to 75 m to the south. Intersections in this mineralized trend include 1.37 g/t Au over 1.3 m in GK19-023 and 11.25 g/t Au over 1.5 m, 1.21 g/t Au over 1.5 m, 0.36 g/t Au over 12.3 m and 2.36 g/t Au over 1.5 m in GK19-025. Another high-grade intersection occurs in drill hole GK19-018 with 11.52 g/t Au over 3.0 m associated with quartz iron carbonate veining at a vertical depth of 18 m below surface and 100 m to the south of the main zone.
