Leopard Lake Gold Corp. Announces Acquisition of St-Robert Property and Private Placement Financing

Vancouver, December 10, 2021 - Leopard Lake Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Leopard Lake") (CSE:LP) (CNSX:LP.CN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a property acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with an arm's length vendor (the "Vendor") for the acquisition of 4 mining claims located in Beauceville and 102 mining claims (the "Acquisition") located in the Riseborough and Marlow Townships in St-Robert-Bellarmin (the "St-Robert Property"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, the Vendor will also transfer to the Company the sole, exclusive and irrevocable right and option to acquire an earn interest in 17 additional mining claims located on the St-Robert Property.

The block of 102 claims located at St-Robert Bellarmin, is approximately 8 km to the NW of the USA border. The St-Robert Property is located in the Frontenac sedimentary formation, which is made up of metasedimentary rocks such as schists, grey quartzites, dark grey slates and limy metagreywackes, with some graphitic layers. The mineralization of the St-Robert Metals deposit is of the polymetallic type, with many occurrences of Ag, Au, W, Bi, Pb and Zn. These occurrences are in the form of decametric quartz veins mineralized in galena, pyrite, scheelite, cosalite, sphalerite and molybdenite.

The St-Robert Property was acquired for its gold and high technology (tungsten, bismuth) minerals potential. It contains two adits used for exploration and mining in the fifties. In 1958, St-Robert Metals, the owner of the property at this time, erected a 108 tons/day mill. During that same year it milled 1000 tons of ore and shipped 5.4 tons of concentrate in Germany, which gave a metal content of 60% Pb, 350-400 oz/t Ag, 0.1 to 0.5 oz Au/t and 4-5% Bi. Gold potential is exemplified by Hole R2 drilled by St-Robert Metals in 1952, which returned 11.8 oz/t Au, 6.58 oz/t Ag and 1.94% WO3 over 0.27 m in a quartz vein enclosed in sedimentary rocks.

The 4 claims located 4 km to the SW of the town of Beauceville contain a gold showing where drill hole BE-12-03 drilled by Fancamp Exploration Ltd., in 2012, returned 2.3 ppm Au over 0.2 m, in favourable geology.

Terms of the Acquisition Agreement

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company will be required to issue an aggregate of $1,900,000 worth of common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Consideration Shares") and pay an aggregate of $100,000 in cash to the Vendor. The consideration payable to the Vendor by the Company will be made in six (6) separate installment payments, the last payment occurring no later than on March 31, 2024.
