Galleon Gold Announces Filing of NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Cache Gold Project, Timmins, Ontario

Toronto, October 22, 2021 - Galleon Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGO) (the "Company" or "Galleon Gold") wishes to advise that the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the West Cache Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate announced on September 8, 2021 has been filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR.

Filing of NI 43-101 Technical Report
The Technical Report (the "Report") titled "Technical Report and Updated Mineral Resource Estimate of the West Cache Gold Property, Bristol and Ogden Townships, Porcupine Mining Division, Timmins, Ontario" with an effective date of September 3, 2021 was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects" ("NI 43-101"). The Report was prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc.

Highlights include:

• The Mineral Resource was modelled as amenable to open pit and underground mining methods; and
• 100% of the Mineral Resource is within Galleon Gold's West Cache Gold Property, where the Mineral Resource remains open along strike and at depth.

Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")
An Updated Mineral Resource Estimate update is expected to be completed in conjunction with the Company's upcoming PEA. Continuing work on the Mineral Resource, including follow- up and infill sampling, geological interpretation and modelling the Project as an underground-only mine, is currently underway. An all-underground mining operation would reduce the mining footprint on surface.

Note from the CEO
R. David Russell CEO and President of Galleon Gold stated: "We are pleased to have increased the Mineral Resource by 20% over the past year and look forward to delivering results from the first PEA for the West Cache Project. While we are eager for the completion of the economic analysis, and quantifying the potential of this Mineral Resource, we are equally excited to see how the mine plan for an all-underground scenario develops."

About West Cache Gold Project
The West Cache Gold Project is located 13 km southwest of Timmins Ontario, and is serviced by Provincial Highway 101 and secondary access roads. It is situated along the Porcupine - Destor Deformation Zone in the Timmins Gold Belt, approximately 7 km northeast of Pan American Silver's Timmins West Mine and 14 km southwest of Newmont's Hollinger Mine.

West Cache is an advanced-stage gold exploration project covering over 3,600 ha that hosts the current Mineral Resource near the centre of the Property, with additional Exploration Targets to the north and south. The Mineral Resource is contained within the Porcupine Sedimentary Basin, a favourable litho-structural corridor with over 2 km of strike-length on the Property. Mineralization is open in all directions and at depth. Recent metallurgical test work completed as part of a future Feasibility Study revealed that the three primary processing options for gold recovery: 1) Gravity + Flotation, 2) Whole Ore, and 3) Gravity + Whole Ore - all indicate strong gold extractions can be achieved on each of the low (1.77 g/t), mid (5.10 g/t) and high (21.9 g/t) grade portions of the recently identified Zone #9 gold mineralization (see Company's news release dated August 11, 2021).

Eric Sprott holds approximately 23% of the Company's outstanding common shares and is also the Company's partner on the Neal Gold Project in Idaho.
