UrbanGold Consolidates its Mercier Rare Earth Property

Ottawa, June 6, 2019 - UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UGM) ("UrbanGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that is has acquired additional claims to enlarge its Mercier property, a Rare Earth Elements ("REE") project located south of the Windfall-Urban area and next to its 100% owned StarGold project. The Mercier property was originally acquired in 2016 and an additional 19 claims have been acquired through map staking. Once pending claims have been approved, the Mercier property will total 38 claims totalling 2,170 hectares.

Originally discovered in 1974, the Mercier property was drilled in 2008 and in 2010 for its potential for REE hosted within a large alkaline carbonatite intrusive complex. The limited drilling program intersected significant widths of Total Rare Earth Oxides ("TREO") and surface sampling also uncovered high grade values in grab samples (Please refer to Threegold Resources Inc.'s news release dated April 30, 2010 for values and widths. A link is provided on UGM's website.) No work has been recorded in the area since.

The following map shows the Mercier property location in relation to the Windfall area, and the Company's StarGold and Monaco properties.

Mathieu Stephens, President and CEO of UrbanGold comments: "Although the Company's primary focus remains its StarGold and Monaco gold projects, we did not want the Mercier property to sit idle during this time of turmoil and rising REE prices due to the current trade issues between the US & China. The Mercier intrusive complex was originally acquired by UrbanGold for its REE grades and due to its potential large size of roughly 4 kilometres by 6 kilometres."
