Canadian Gold Resource Expands Lac Arsenault Property Targeting High-Grade Epithermal Gold-Silver Mineralization

VANCOUVER, Dec. 16, 2024 - Canadian Gold Resource Ltd. ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company") (TSX.V: CAN) is pleased to announce the expansion of its Lac Arsenault property with the addition of 64 new claims, increasing its size by 36.62 square kilometres (3,662.2 hectares), nearly doubling the size of the existing property. This strategic acquisition targets key structural features associated with high-grade epithermal gold and silver mineralization.

Expansion and Exploration Potential
The newly staked claims encompass additional interlinking fault zones, providing excellent targets for further exploration. These areas, which have seen little prior exploration, are expected to contain further high-grade gold and silver mineralization, similar to the Baker vein discovery.

"We're excited to expand our footprint at Lac Arsenault and explore these critical structural features that have the potential to host significant gold-silver deposits," said Ronald Goguen Chairman, President & CEO of Canadian Gold Resources. "This expansion positions us to build on our discoveries and unlock the full potential of the property."

"The discovery of interlinking fault structures at Lac Arsenault is a significant finding," said Mark Smethurst (P.Geo.), Geologist of Canadian Gold Resources. "We believe these faults, part of the Grand Pabos and Rivière Garin systems, form dilational zones that create favorable conditions for gold and silver deposition similar to the Baker and Mersereau vein systems within our newly staked claims. These types of structures are well-known for hosting high-grade mineralization."

Qualified Person
Mark T. Smethurst, P.Geo., a director of Canadian Gold Resources is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the contents and technical disclosures in this press release.

About the Lac Arsenault Property
The Lac Arsenault property is situated within a regional fault system that hosts strike-slip faults and interlinking fault segments, key features for epithermal gold-silver mineralization. These structures create dilational zones that allow for the preferential flow and deposition of hydrothermal fluids, resulting in high-grade mineralization within veins like the Baker vein system. This system, rich in gold and silver, exemplifies the potential of the property for additional discoveries.

These structures are key sites for hydrothermal fluid flow and gold-silver mineralization, making them critical exploration targets.
