Visionary Gold Corp. Samples Up to 11.45 g/t Gold and 4.52 Percent Copper on 3km Long Miz Shear Structure and Provides Update on New Drill Targets

Mineralization at Lewiston-Miz is believed to be associated with multi-kilometre long, north to northeasterly trending shear zones. Soil geochemistry along these structures at Lewiston-Miz presents much stronger anomalies for gold ("Au"), copper ("Cu"), silver ("Ag"), arsenic ("As"), bismuth ("Bi") and tellurium ("Te") than at Wolf. The mineralized zones at Lewiston-Miz occur within chlorite and epidote altered metagreywacke and quartzite and lay directly east of a north-striking quartz diorite dyke. A large Archean granite intrusive; the Lewiston Lakes Pluton, and a large regional fault; the Diamond Springs Fault, are less than 1 km to the east.

CEO Wes Adams commented: "Surface gold and copper grades accompanied by strong geochemical anomalies along 3 km of strike at Miz clearly represent a new top priority drill target for Visionary. Impressive results from our regional exploration programs have now identified several new targets associated with the Miner's Delight Formation and other nearby areas within this portion of the Wyoming Craton, including the Wind Hill target located adjacent to Wolf, which we also plan to test. We will continue to provide updates on new targets as we work toward an exciting summer drill program, for which we have already secured a drill rig."

Visionary has recently staked new claims in the Lewiston-Miz area, which now includes 214 contiguous claims, covering approximately 4280 acres.

Planning and permitting of drillholes to test the Lewiston-Miz shear structure have commenced and drilling is expected to take place this summer and fall 2022.

2021 Exploration Summary
During the 2021 exploration campaign, a total of 1,011 core samples, 624 rock samples and 3,211 soil samples (85 line km) were taken across the Company's claims in the Lewiston Mining District. The core samples came from 5 holes drilled in the Wolf Shear (see PR with date November 19, 2021 and February 4, 2022).

Wolf and Wind Hill
The drilling program at Wolf (see PR dated February 4, 2022) revealed the existence of several mineralized zones associated with sub-parallel shear zones and/or highly deformed and metamorphosed greywacke belonging to the Miner's Delight formation. The mineralized zones present strong to moderate chloritic alteration, silicification, and/or an increase in quartz veinlets. The mineralized intervals and the lithologies intercepted are illustrated in Figure 1.

Further exploration work revealed a mineralized zone located approximately 700 metres northwest of Wolf (see PR November 19, 2021) where rock samples have yielded assay values up to 2.82 grams per tonne ("g/t"), 1.71 g/t and 1.66 g/t gold respectively within old mine working and outcrops. This area, Wind Hill, appears to be geochemically similar to the Wolf, where anomalous gold, arsenic and antimony are associated with mapped shears, and display moderately elevated electrical chargeability. The shear zones at Wind Hill are strongly deformed and contain high concentrations of iron oxide. The 2021 drilling confirmed continuous low-grade gold mineralization along strike at Wolf. Follow-up drilling in 2022 will test for ore shoots within the Wolf Shear Zone as well as testing for mineralized cross-cutting structures and ladder veins that have been identified by mapping and sampling as potential hosts for the higher-grade mineralization.

Lewiston-Miz Targets
Drilling will focus on north to northeast trending mineralized shears that contain highly anomalous levels of Gold, Silver, Copper, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Bismuth, immediately adjacent to intrusive quartz diorite, tonalite and other mafic dykes. Additional structural mapping, rock and soil sampling will also be included as part of the exploration program.

Table 1. Select rock samples results from the Lewiston-Miz Area

Geologically, the Lewiston-Miz targets are located within the Miner's Delight formation and, much like the Wolf and Wind Hill shears, are strongly deformed. The samples thought to be most representative are VGR000130 and VGR000131 with grades of 3.68 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au, 1.05 percent Cu and 1.63 Au g/t Au and 2.11 percent Cu, respectively. These samples were collected adjacent to old mine workings near the contact with a quartz diorite dike that strikes north-south. The geochemical anomalies (Figure 3 and Figure 4 below) appear to be associated with the intrusive dike, within Archean schist and amphibolite.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Technical Disclosure

Drill Core QA/QC
Drill core (HQ ~63.5 millimetres) was geologically logged with samples defined based on observed geological features. Sample intervals were cut in half with a core saw with on half placed in a sample bag and the other retained in the core box for reference. Samples were batch shipped from Visionary's secure logging facility to ALS Global laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited) in Reno, NV, or American Analytical Services Inc. (ISO 17025:2005 accredited) in Osburn, ID. A QA/QC program using the insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials was maintained throughout the program.

Soil Samples QA/QC
Soil samples were collected by hand using long nosed shovels from C horizon soils where possible. The nature of the terrain and significant outcrop produces poor quality soil that is often very shallow. Approximately 0.5 kilograms of soil sample was collected; organic material and gravel were removed from the sample. Samples were kept at the Company's secure, locked storage facility until shipped direct to ALS Geochemistry's preparation laboratory in Elko, NV. Soils were then dried at 60 degrees Celsius and sieved to 180 microns (80 mesh). Twenty-five grams of sample is digested with Aqua Regia and analyzed by ICP-MS. Multielement analysis for was carried out by ALS Geochemistry of Reno, NV (Code: AuME-ST43), a super trace multielement package that analyzes for 53 elements including Au, platinum ("Pt") and palladium ("Pd").

QA/QC included the following: industry certified standards were inserted into the sample stream along with analytical blank material at the Company's secure facility; sample duplicates were collected in the field. 153 QA/QC samples of 3211 total soil samples were applied to the sample stream, or approximately 5 percent.
