Edmonton, Alberta– (August 20, 2024) – Green River Gold Corp.

About Green River Gold Corp.’s Mining Plan
In recognition of the positive outcomes realized thus far, Green River Gold Corp. has added a second trommel (See Figure 1. below) and additional support equipment to the placer mining operation. This strategic enhancement is expected to more than double production capacity for the remainder of the current mining season. This decision is in line with the Company’s commitment to maximizing resource extraction while adhering to sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and our stakeholders.

In addition to this expansion, the Company is actively laying the groundwork to broaden its mining operations to encompass multiple locations in future seasons. This diversification strategy is designed to optimize resource utilization, mitigate risks, and drive further growth and cash flow, solidifying Green River Gold Corp.’s standing as a resilient and forward-thinking player in the mining sector.
The Wabi placer mining claims are located on the Swift River, approximately 45 minutes from Green River’s field headquarters in Quesnel, British Columbia. The placer gold mining project is intended to provide immediate cash flow to the Company while it continues to explore its longer‐term mineral growth projects with a focus on both critical minerals and precious metals. The Company has very strong growth platforms with the Quesnel Nickel Critical Minerals Project and the Fontaine Gold and Kymar Silver Projects.
Green River holds six contiguous placer mining claims totaling 255.94 hectares straddling the Swift River, a river which has a significant history of placer mining production dating back to the Cariboo Gold Rush in the 1870’s. The Company also holds placer claims on several other creeks and rivers in the Cariboo Mining District. Several of the placer properties are already permitted and bonded. In total, Green River holds 1,110 hectares of placer mining claims along with over 228 square kilometers of mineral claims.
Green River is uniquely positioned to mine the placer claims because of its relationship with its privately held affiliate, Gold Rush Supplies Inc. The two companies share space in a fully equipped shop and office building located in Quesnel, approximately 45 minutes from the Swift River placer claims. Gold Rush Supplies Inc. builds placer mining equipment and provides mining supplies from a retail and shop location in the shared facility. The fully equipped shop and yard provides an excellent location from which to stage the mining operation and to handle all related administration and management functions. The Company’s Qualified Person, Stephen P. Kocsis (P.Geo) has decades of experience in placer gold mining and has personally designed and operated placer mining operations.
“We are encouraged by the progress we have made since the launch of our operations, and the results we are witnessing are a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication,” stated Perry Little, President and CEO of Green River Gold Corp. “The strategic decision to integrate a second trommel reflects our commitment to scaling up production and achieving our corporate objectives, while our plans to explore and mine multiple locations next season will position us for sustained success and expansion. The success of our longer-term projects, including the Quesnel Nickel Project are only enhanced by any operating cash flow from placer mining. Our other projects, including Quesnel Nickel, are also proceeding. A drilling and exploration update will be provided shortly.”
