    Introduction

    SolGold continues to explore its extensive tenement portfolio in Ecuador with the goal of becoming a Tier 1 copper and gold producing company. SolGold operates multiple regional field teams rapidly exploring and assessing 75 regional concessions across 14 provinces in Ecuador. Thus far a group of 12 high value targets have been assessed to have world class potential.

    The priority Blanca Project is located in northern Ecuador, approximately 8km north-northwest of SolGold’s flagship Cascabel Project. The Blanca Project lies on the prolific Andean Copper belt which is renowned as the production base for nearly half of the world’s copper (Figure 1). SolGold holds a 100% interest over the Blanca Project through its Ecuadorean subsidiary company, Carnegie Ridge Resources S.A.

    Drilling Commenced
    SolGold received all regulatory licencing approvals to begin scout drilling at the Blanca Project marking the establishment of advanced exploration in Ecuador’s newest Copper-Gold Province.

    A man-portable drill machine is currently on site and has completed 2 diamond drill holes for 800m testing the very high grade sub-horizontal veins, up to 0.4m wide, containing up to 617g/t Au, at the Cielito Vein System.

    The Phase 1 drilling program comprises a suite of initial drill holes to test high grade polymetallic gold-telluride veins within the Cielito Vein System, as well as a second suite of drill holes to test gold-stockwork veining at the Cerro Quiroz Dome (Figure 2).

    The first hole BDH_19_001 intersected a 30cm wide quartz vein containing visible gold and rich in chalcopyrite and pyrite at a down-hole depth of 98m (Photo 1 & 2). The first 150m is characterised by andesites and volcanic breccias with multiple zones of thin sulphide-rich veins and mineralised fault zones. Chlorite-epidote propylitic alteration increases in strength at depth possibly signifying proximity to a source intrusion.

    Visible gold was also noted in the second hole BDH_19_002 (Photo 3), drilled on the same section as BDH_19_001 at a shallower dip. This hole also intersected multiple zones of flat dipping, thin sulphide rich quartz veins in the first 170m. Structural correlation between the holes supports the conceptual model of a system of stacked mineralised quartz veins at the Cielito prospect.

    The Cielito Vein System is interpreted to represent multiple stacked gold lenses over a 500m by 400m zone, and drilling is intended to intercept these lenses as well as potential sub-vertical high-grade feeder zones.

    The Cielito Vein System is located along a northeast-southwest trending structural corridor traversing the concession. The vein system extends over a 400m by 500mm zone and contains over 120 pre-existing artisanal workings within the project area (Photo 4).

    Mineralisation is hosted within volcanic sediments, agglomerates and breccias and rock chip sampling of exposed veins previously returned very high-grade gold mineralisation including:

    • 617g/t Au, 0.59% Cu, 317g/t Ag, >500ppm Te, 0.74% Zn;
    • 542g/t Au, 0.54% Cu, 254g/t Ag, >500ppm Te, 0.50% Zn;
    • 269 g/t Au, 133 g/t Ag;
    • 116 g/t Au, 64.9 g/t Ag;
    • 144.5 g/t Au.

    Structural mapping has recognised the potential for multiple flat lying stacked polymetallic sulphide veins at the Cielito prospect (Photo 2 & 3), and the newly identified artisanal gold workings on the opposing ridge provide evidence for an extensive mineralised vein system.

    The Cerro Quiroz Dome is interpreted to represent an extensively silicified topographic dome containing gold-stockwork veining up to 6.8g/t gold over a 700m by 300m area, and it is interpreted that the two target areas may be genetically related at depth.

    Systematic drill testing of both the Cielito and Cerro Quiroz prospects is planned.

    New Cielito Rock Chip Results

    Carnegie geologists have accessed underground artisanal workings and tunnels to sample the Cielito vein (Table 1). The results of this sampling are outstanding with high grade gold along with significant silver and base metal results. Samples were taken over an area 270m by 150m of sulphide-rich gold and base veins. These flat lying veins (Figure 2) potentially form part of a larger intrusion-related stacked vein system similar in style to the Buritica deposit (6.4M oz Au) in Columbia.

    Best results received from the recent sampling program of 17 samples of the Cielito vein include:

    • R01000676 540 g/t Au, 107 g/t Ag, 0.28% Cu, 351 ppm Te
    • R01000677 545 g/t Au, 286 g/t Ag, 0.45% Cu, >500 ppm Te
    • R01000678 392 g/t Au, 190 g/t Ag, 402 ppm Te
    • R01000684 432 g/t Au, 159 g/t Ag, 438 ppm Te
    • R01000715 428 g/t Au, 212 g/t Ag, >500 ppm Te
    • R01000698 378 g/t Au, 185 g/t Ag, >500 ppm Te
    • R01000679 305 g/t Au, 135 g/t Ag, 382 ppm Te

    Assays for results in this release have come from ALS Laboratories in Lima, Peru.

    ABOUT SOLGOLD

    SolGold is a leading exploration company focussed on the discovery and definition of world-class copper and gold deposits. In 2018 SolGold’s management team was recognised by the “Mines and Money” Forum as an example of excellence in the industry, and continues to strive to deliver objectives efficiently and in the interests of shareholders. SolGold is the largest and most active concession holder in Ecuador and is aggressively exploring the length and breadth of this highly prospective and gold-rich section of the Andean Copper Belt.

    The Company operates with transparency and in accordance with international best practices. SolGold is committed to delivering value to its shareholders, while simultaneously providing economic and social benefits to impacted communities, fostering a healthy and safe workplace and minimizing the environmental impact.

    Dedicated stakeholders
    SolGold employs a staff of over 560 and at least 98% are Ecuadorean. This is expected to grow as the operations at Alpala, and in Ecuador generally, expand. SolGold focusses its operations to be safe, reliable and environmentally responsible and maintains close relationships with its local communities. SolGold has engaged an increasingly skilled and experienced team of geoscientists using state of the art geophysical and geochemical modelling applied to an extensive data base to enable the delivery of ore grade intersections from nearly every drill hole at Alpala. SolGold has 86 geologists, of which 11% are female, on the ground in Ecuador looking for copper and gold.

    About Cascabel and Alpala
    The Alpala deposit is the main target in the Cascabel concession, located on the northern section of the heavily endowed Andean Copper Belt, the entirety of which is renowned as the base for nearly half of the world’s copper production. The project area hosts mineralisation of Eocene age, the same age as numerous Tier 1 deposits along the Andean Copper Belt in Chile and Peru to the south. The project base is located at Rocafuerte within the Cascabel concession in northern Ecuador, an approximately three hour drive on sealed highway north of Quito, close to water, power supply and Pacific ports (Figure 1).

    Having fulfilled its earn-in requirements, SolGold is a registered shareholder with an unencumbered legal and beneficial 85% interest in ENSA (Exploraciones Novomining S.A.) which holds 100% of the Cascabel concession covering approximately 50km2. The junior equity owner in ENSA is required to repay 15% of costs since SolGold’s earn in was completed, from 90% of its share of distribution of earnings or dividends from ENSA or the Cascabel concession. It is also required to contribute to development or be diluted, and if its interest falls below 10%, it shall reduce to a 0.5% NSR royalty which SolGold may acquire for US$3.5m.

    Over 228,000m of diamond drilling has been completed on the project. With numerous rigs currently active on the project, SolGold produces up to approximately 10,000m of core every month. The Cascabel drill program is currently focussed on extending and upgrading the status of the Alpala Resource, as well as further drill testing of the rapidly evolving Aguinaga prospect. Drill testing of the Trivinio target has commenced, whilst the numerous other untested targets, namely at Moran, Cristal, Tandayama-America and Chinambicito, are flagged for drill testing as overall program demands allow.

    The November 2018 Alpala MRE update, dated 15 November 2018, was estimated from 68,173 assays. Drill core samples were obtained from total of 133,576m of drilling comprising 128 diamond drill holes, including 75 drill holes comprising, 34 daughter holes, 8 redrills, and 11 over-runs, and represents full assay data from holes 1-67 and partial assay data received from holes 68 to 75. In contrast, the Dec 2017 Maiden MRE was estimated from 26,814 assays obtained from 53,616m of drilling comprising 45 drill holes, including 10 daughter holes and 5 redrills.

    The November 2018 Alpala updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) totals a current:

    o

    2,050 Mt @ 0.60% CuEq (at 0.2% CuEq cut-off) in the Indicated category, and 900 Mt @ 0.35% CuEq (at 0.2% CuEq cut-off) in the Inferred category.

    o

    Contained metal content of 8.4 Mt Cu and 19.4 Moz Au in the Indicated category.

    o

    Contained metal content of 2.5 Mt Cu and 3.8 Moz Au in the Inferred category.

    Investors should consult the technical report dated 3 January 2019 for a detailed account of the assumptions on which the estimates were based as well as any known legal, political, environmental and other risks that could materially affect the development of the resources.

    Getting Alpala advanced towards development
    The resource at the Alpala deposit boasts a high grade core which, in the event of the construction of a mine, is targeted to facilitate early cashflows and an accelerated payback of initial capital. SolGold is currently investigating development and financing options available to the company for the development of Cascabel on reaching feasibility.

    The results of the PEA were published on 20 May 2019, highlighting the following key aspects:

    Net Present Value (“NPV”) estimates range from US$4.1Bn to US$4.5Bn (Real, post-tax, @ 8% discount rate, US$3.3/lb copper price, US$1,300/oz gold price and US$16/oz silver price) depending on production rate scenario.

    Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) estimates range from 24.8% to 26.5% (Real, post-tax, US$3.3/lb copper price, US$1,300/oz gold price and US$16/oz silver price) depending on production rate scenario.

    Pre-production Capex estimated at approx. US$2.4B to US$2.8B, and total Capex including life of mine sustaining Capex of US$10.1B to US$10.5B depending on production rate scenario.

    Payback Period on initial start-up capital – Range from 3.5 to 3.8 years after commencement of production depending on production rate scenario.

    Preferred Mining Method – Underground low-cost mass mining using Block Cave methods applied over several caves designed on two vertically extensive Lifts.

    Full results and all details of the PEA are available in the Company’s market release of 20 May 2019.

    The Company recognises that the term “World Class” is subjective and for the purpose of the Company’s projects the Company considers the drilling results at the growing Alpala Porphyry Copper Gold Deposit at its Cascabel Project to represent intersections of a “World Class” deposit. The Company considers that “World Class” deposits are rare, very large, long life, low cost, and are responsible for approximately half of total global metals production.

    “World Class” deposits are generally accepted as deposits of a size and quality that create multiple expansion opportunities, and have or are likely to demonstrate robust economics that ensure development irrespective of position within the global commodity cycles, or whether or not the deposit has been fully drilled out, or a feasibility study completed.

    Standards drawn from industry experts (1) Singer and Menzie, 2010; (2) Schodde, 2006; (3) Schodde and Hronsky, 2006; (4) Singer, 1995; (5) Laznicka, 2010) have characterised “World Class” deposits at prevailing commodity prices. The relevant criteria for “World Class” deposits, adjusted to current long run commodity prices, are considered to be those holding or likely to hold more than 5 million tonnes of copper and/or more than 6 million ounces of gold with a modelled net present value of greater than USD 1 Billion.

    The Company and its external consultants prepared an updated mineral resource estimate at the Cascabel Project in November 2018. Results are summarised in Table B attached.

    Any development or mining potential for the project remains speculative.

    Drill hole intercepts have been updated to reflect current commodity prices, using a data aggregation method, defined by copper equivalent cut-off grades and reported with up to 10m internal dilution, excluding bridging to a single sample. Copper equivalent grades are calculated using a gold conversion factor of 0.63, determined using an updated copper price of USD3.00/pound and an updated gold price of USD1300/ounce. True widths of down hole intersections are estimated to be approximately 25-70%.

    On the basis of the drilling results to date and the results of the Alpala Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, the reference to the Cascabel Project as “World Class” (or “Tier 1”) is considered to be appropriate. Examples of global copper and gold discoveries since 2006 that are generally considered to be “World Class” are summarised in Table A.

    Notes:

    Mr. Martin Pittuck, MSc, CEng, MIMMM, is responsible for this Mineral Resource estimate and is an “independent qualified person” as such term is defined in NI 43-101.

    The Mineral Resource is reported using a cut-off grade of 0.3% copper equivalent calculated using [copper grade (%)] + [gold grade (g/t) x 0.6] based on a copper price of US$2.8/lb and gold price of US$1,160/oz.

    The Mineral Resource is considered to have reasonable potential for eventual economic extraction by underground mass mining such as block caving.

    Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
