TORONTO, Jan. 8, 2021 - Magna Gold Corp. (TSXV: MGR), (OTCQB: MGLQF) ("Magna" or the "Company") announces that, as a result of a review by staff of the Ontario Securities Commission, it is issuing the following news release regarding the Company's technical disclosure in respect of the Company's Mercedes property (the "Mercedes Property"). The Company has updated the corporate presentation posted on its website to, among other changes:
- Remove certain disclosure of "resources" in respect of a deposit on the Mercedes Property which did not use the applicable mineral resource categories set out in section 1.2 of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") contrary to section 2.2(a) of NI 43-101 and that disclosed the quantity, grade or metal or mineral content of a deposit that has not been categorized as an inferred mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource or a measured mineral resource contrary to section 2.3(1)(a) of NI 43-101;
- Remove certain disclosure of the quantity of contained metal or mineral in respect of a deposit on the Mercedes Property which did not state both the grade or quality and the quantity for each category of the mineral resources contrary to section 2.2(d) of NI 43-101;
- Remove certain disclosure regarding the production and sale of gold from the Mercedes Property, including anticipated production and associated capital and operating expenditures and cash flows, that may be characterized as the results of an economic analysis that includes or is based on inferred mineral resources or an exploration target contrary to section 2.3(1)(b) of NI 43-101;
- Remove any use of the term "ore" in the context of mineral resources that may be potentially misleading; and
- Include the name and relationship to the Company of the qualified person that prepared or supervised the preparation of the information that forms the basis for the written disclosure or that approved the written disclosure in accordance with section 3.1 of NI 43-101.
The updated corporate presentation is now available on the Company's website.
Additionally, the Company wishes to clarify certain disclosure regarding the potential production and sale of gold from the Mercedes Property. The decision to produce at the Mercedes Property was not based on a technical report supporting either mineral resources or mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, which include increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow and future profitability. Readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions. It is further cautioned that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

James Baughman (P. Geo.), Consulting Geologist and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has approved the scientific and technical information in this news release.
