Toronto, March 11, 2021 - Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) ("Xplore or "the Company"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with 1544230 Ontario Inc. and Gravel Ridge Resources Inc. (together the "Vendors") to earn a 100% ownership interest in the 78 cell (1,560 Ha) Pringle Lake Property ("Pringle Lake") located in the Red Lake Mining Division, ON., Canada. Summary of the terms of the proposed transaction:
Under the terms of the Agreement, Xplore will acquire a 100% ownership interest in Pringle Lake by completing the following:
- The Company obtaining all necessary approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX.V"); and
- Making a cash payment of C$18,000 to the Vendor on signing of the Agreement (completed); and
- Issuing to the Vendors 90,000 shares of XPLR within five (5) days of TSX-V approval of the Agreement (the "Closing Date"); and

The transaction and the issuance of the shares contemplated by the Agreement are subject to the acceptance of the TSX.V. Any securities issued will be subject to applicable statutory hold periods for a period of four months from the date of issuance.
Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Xplore Resources, notes, "The Pringle Lake Property is situated along the South Arm structural trend, highlighted in the "2020-2021 Recommendations for Mineral Exploration ~ Ontario" report published by the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines of Ontario. Interpretation of historical seismic data suggests potential for a deep tapping seismic structure in the vicinity of the South Arm of Berens Lake. Similar deep tapping seismic structures have been identified proximal to both the Dixie Project and the Red Lake gold mine, approximately 50 kms to the south. Regional scale mapping in 2007 identified favourable host rocks within the claims and shearing along the interpreted trace of this third, unexplored, deep tapping seismic system. We believe that the Pringle Lake property represents an exciting, early-stage exploration opportunity in a world class gold mining district with demonstrated discovery potential. We are currently evaluating options to evaluate both Pringle Lake and our recently acquired Upper Red Lake Property which is located in the same Mining District."
