UrbanGold to Undertake Airborne Geophysics at StarGold

Ottawa, April 24, 2019 - UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UGM) ("UrbanGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will commence a helicopter-borne geophysical survey on its 100% owned StarGold property, located in Quebec (the "Property"). The 809 line-kilometre electro-magnetic survey is designed to cover the entire Property, and has an objective of identifying the potential source of a large angular boulder from which grab samples reportedly analyzed 279 g/t gold along with variable amounts of silver, copper and zinc (See February 21^st, 2019 UGM press release).

The 6,318-hectare Property is located 200 kilometres northeast of the town of Val-d'Or, a gold mining hub and 68 kilometres south of the Windfall deposit. The Property is easily accessible by a network of forestry roads and accommodations are readily available nearby.

The StarGold boulder is partially composed of massive sulphides which suggests that airborne electro-magnetics and magnetics are ideally suited to identifying its potential source. Except for a small ground electro-magnetic survey located in the vicinity of the boulder location, the Property has never been surveyed in its entirety.

UrbanGold has engaged the services of Prospectair of Gatineau to complete the survey. Prospectair has an excellent track record for providing good quality and cost efficient heliborne geophysical surveys on promising grass-root exploration projects like this one. Their Time-Domain Electromagnetic System is a powerful light-weight system that can be flown close to the ground, enabling maximum data resolution. The 100-metre survey line spacing will ensure that significant sized conductive sources are all precisely located. Detected anomalies will then be followed-up on the ground by a field crew as soon as ground conditions permit.

Mathieu Stephens, President and CEO of UrbanGold, commented: "We are thrilled to launch our exploration program on the promising StarGold property due to the spectacular gold grades involved. And we find ourselves quite lucky to be able to work this property which has excellent infrastructure but yet remains almost unexplored and certainly never drilled."

Please refer to the UrbanGold website for the location of the StarGold property with respect to the Monaco property and Windfall deposit. The StarGold property acquisition is pending TSX Venture Exchange approval and it is to be noted that grab samples are selective in nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the Property.
