TORONTO, September 2, 2020 - AurCrest Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "AurCrest") (TSXV:AGO) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a Data Acquisition Agreement with Windfall Geotek Inc. ("Windfall") (TSX-V: WIN) to acquire geological and technical data (the "Data") related to its Ranger Lake Gold Property, a set of 50 cell claims east of the Campbell Gold Mines mill complex in the world famous Red Lake mining district.

Windfall's computer-assisted resource discovery program ("CARDS") analysis assists in the identification of high priority gold targets by combining public and private data sets of interest to the mining community, in this case highlighting areas of interest that are geologically similar to other gold discoveries and deposits in the Red Lake mining district. AurCrest will be using this Data and the high priority targets generated as an exploration tool to support exploration activities in the fall of 2020 through winter 2021. The Company acknowledges that while the Windfall CARDS system employs data from nearby advanced exploration companies and producers, no direct comparison to these sites should be inferred. The Company also acknowledges that areas of mineralization hosted on nearby or adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the AurCrest Ranger Lake Gold Property.

AurCrest will pay CDN$15,000 and issue of 300,000 common shares of AurCrest to Windfall to acquire the rights to the Data and rights to the CARDS technology necessary to use the Data. A further CDN$25,000 will be paid and a further 400,000 common shares will be issued to Windfall if the Company drills one of the high priority targets identified by the Data within two years of the signing the Data Acquisition Agreement This transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
