05.08.2022  |  Newsfile

Toronto, August 5, 2022 - McFarlane Lake Mining Ltd. (NEO: MLM) ("McFarlane Lake" or "the Company"), a Canadian gold exploration and development company, today announces that it has successfully acquired a 100% interest in the mining claims, rights and leases for its West Hawk Lake, High Lake and McMillan properties (the "Acquisition") from Canadian Star Minerals Ltd. ("Canadian Star").

"With past producing gold production from two of three of these properties, these properties are highly prospective. We see significant potential to define economic resources and with infrastructure, including roads and powerlines nearby, it provides the necessary support for exploration development and any potential mine development," said Mark Trevisiol, President and CEO of McFarlane Lake. "All three properties have near surface gold mineralization, a good geological asset to have when considering mine development schedules and cost to develop and operate. In the near term we are continuing our drilling program. After the successful drilling campaign at West Hawk Lake, we are planning a similar program for our High Lake property".

The Acquisition was completed pursuant to a definitive agreement dated December 30, 2021. The purchase price of the Acquisition was $5.5 million, paid to Canadian Star as follows: (i) $2.75 million in cash; (ii) the issuance from treasury of 5,625,000 common shares (the "Common Shares") in McFarlane Lake; and (iii) the transfer of 7,000,0000 Common Shares from certain directors or officers of McFarlane Lake. $500,000 in cash option payments paid to Canadian Star prior to the completion of the Acquisition was credited to the purchase price to reduce the number of Common Shares issuable to the amount noted above.

The Properties

West Hawk Lake
West Hawk Lake is located in southeastern Manitoba, about five kilometres from the Ontario border. It has a historical (non-NI 43-101 compliant) resource of 457,000 tonnes at 13.9 g/t gold (see the following link for details on historic resource disclosure. A NI 43-101 Technical Report, High Lake and West Hawk Lake Property, was published June 22, 2021 (available at www.sedar.com and www.mcfarlanelakemining.com). West Hawk Lake also has a history of past exploration including shaft sinking, lateral development, drilling, trenching and geophysical work.

In March 2022, the Company completed a drilling program of 3000 metres over 14 holes. Initial results showed the existence of high-grade gold mineralization 100 metres below historical gold mineralization at the Waverly Raise Zone on the property. They demonstrated the potential for a gold zone with a mineralized strike length of 200 metres and down to over 200 metres remaining open at depth. It also successfully intersected gold at the Sunbeam Breccia below known gold mineralization and identified strong geological structures extending beyond the previously explored areas.

Assay result highlights include:

- MLWH-22-01 intersected two zones, 22.17g/t over 1.27 metres including 49.40g/t over 0.55 metres and 9.85g/t over 1.00 metre

- MLWH-22-02 intersected a single zone, 9.88g/t over 1.00 metre

- MLWH-22-08 intersected two zones, 19.40g/t over 0.64 metres and 8.62g/t over 1.00 metre.

- MLWH-22-05 intersected two zones,3.81g/t gold over 4.00 metres and 7.85g/t gold over 2.00 metres including 11.30g/t gold over 1.00 metres.

About McFarlane Lake Mining

McFarlane Lake is a Canadian gold exploration and development company with six gold properties with historic mineralization; two west of Sudbury in a region consistently on the top gold exploration opportunities as identified by the Ontario Geological Survey (reports of 2011 and 2018) and an additional two straddling the Ontario - Manitoba border, which are geologically similar to a number of significant gold deposits in Ontario. The two remaining properties under option are located in the historic Timmins area along the prolific Porcupine Destor fault, home to dozens of mines over the last century and several current producing mines. Three of the properties are past producers of gold, and all six properties are near infrastructure (roads, power), significant population bases and in a geopolitically stable environment.
