SASKATOON, Aug. 01, 2019 - GFG Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GFG) (OTCQB: GFGSF) (“GFG” or the “Company”) announces the appointment of Mr. Brian Booth to the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Concurrently, Mr. Jonathan Awde has resigned from the Board to focus his efforts on other professional duties and business ventures. These changes are effective immediately.

Mr. Patrick Downey, Chair of the Board, commented, “We thank Jon for his many contributions and strategic guidance in building GFG’s team and portfolio of assets and wish him the very best in his future endeavors. Adding Brian’s significant technical experience, especially in the Timmins Gold District, will be an extremely valuable asset to the Board and management team as we advance our Pen and Dore gold projects. Brian’s commitment to GFG is a strong endorsement of the management team and the potential that exists at our significant land position west of Timmins.”

Mr. Jonathan Awde commented, “I very much enjoyed working with the Board and management team and am proud of the progress the Company has made over the past two and a half years. I have full confidence in the Company’s leadership team and its projects to deliver significant shareholder value.”

Mr. Booth brings more than 30 years of experience in mineral exploration throughout Canada, Europe and southeast Asia. He began his career as a geologist on the Casa Berardi gold discoveries in Quebec. He opened Inco's exploration office in Val d'Or, Quebec and is credited with the discovery of the Douay West gold deposit in 1990. In 1994, as Inco's Manager Exploration, Eastern North America, he conducted the preliminary assessment of the Voisey's Bay Ni-Cu-Co discovery and later relocated to Indonesia to manage Inco's exploration office during which time he was involved, through a joint venture with Highlands Gold, in the discovery of the Beutong copper porphyry in Sumatra. Mr. Booth served as the CEO, President and Director of Lake Shore Gold Corp., where he completed the acquisition of the Bell Creek mine and mill and led the team that discovered the Timmins West, Thunder Creek and Bell Creek deep deposits. Most recently, he was CEO and Director of Pembrook Copper Corp., where he led the team that discovered and advanced the Pecoy Cu,Mo,Au,Ag porphyry in Peru. Mr. Booth currently serves as President and CEO of Element 29 Resources Inc. and serves on the board of SSR Mining Inc. He holds a B.Sc. in Geology from McGill University and is also a member of the Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.

In conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Booth, the Company has granted him 178,048 options to purchase common shares of the Company. These stock options, which are subject to certain vesting requirements, are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $0.22 per common share.

The incentive stock options were granted in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan.

About GFG Resources Inc.
GFG Resources Inc. is a North American precious metals exploration company focused on district scale gold projects in tier one mining jurisdictions, Ontario and Wyoming. In Ontario, the Company owns 100% of the Pen and Dore gold projects, two large and highly prospective gold properties west of the prolific gold district of Timmins, Ontario, Canada. The Pen and the Dore gold projects have the same geological setting that hosts most of the gold deposits found in the Timmins Gold Camp which have produced over 70 million ounces of gold. In Wyoming, the Company has partnered with Newcrest Mining Ltd. through an option and earn-in agreement to advance the Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project. The geologic setting, alteration and mineralization seen in the Rattlesnake Hills are similar to other gold deposits of the Rocky Mountain alkaline province which, collectively, have produced over 50 million ounces of gold.
