Moneta Intersects Further Significant Gold Mineralization at Tower Gold

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 15, 2023) - Moneta Gold Inc. (TSX: ME) (OTCQX: MEAUF) (FSE: MOPA) ("Moneta") is pleased to announce assay results from thirty (30) resource infill and step-out drill holes on the 903 gold deposit at the Tower Gold project (the "Project"), located in the Timmins Gold Camp, Ontario. The drilling was conducted as part of the 76,000 metres ("m") of infill and resource upgrade drill program completed in 2022 on the 4.5 million ("M") ounces ("oz") indicated gold ("Au") and 8.3 Moz inferred Au mineral resource estimate (see September 07, 2022 press release).

Drilling Highlights:

  • MGA22-026 intersected 11.60 m @ 4.77 grams per tonne "g/t" Au, including 0.35 m @ 27.64 g/t Au, and 1.50 m @ 24.95 g/t Au

  • MGA22-033 intersected 23.03 m @ 1.79 g/t Au, including 6.00 m @ 5.64 g/t Au

  • MGA22-043 intersected 91.80 m @ 0.80 g/t Au, including 21.05 m @ 2.00 g/t Au

  • MGA22-026 intersected 48.35 m @ 0.64 g/t Au, including 4.90 m @ 3.92 g/t Au

  • MGA22-048 intersected 68.20 m @ 0.70 g/t Au, including 15.50 m @ 1.44 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 3.26 g/t Au

  • MGA22-039 intersected 68.58 m @ 0.63 g/t Au, including 13.00 m @ 1.24 g/t Au, and 21.37 m @ 0.91 g/t Au

  • MGA22-035 intersected 7.75 m @ 3.94 g/t Au, including 4.10 m @ 6.72 g/t Au, including 1.35 m @ 8.27 g/t Au

  • MGA22-042 intersected 48.15 m @ 0.73 g/t Au, including 21.05 m @ 2.04 g/t Au

  • MGA22-044 intersected 49.00 m @ 0.63 g/t Au, including 23.00 m @ 0.88 g/t Au, and 5.90 m @ 1.65 g/t Au

  • MGA22-050 intersected 51.40 m @ 0.60 g/t Au, including 11.25 m @ 0.89 g/t Au, and 22.00 m @ 0.77 g/t Au

Gary O'Connor, Moneta's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "These latest infill and step-out assay drill results from 903 continue to confirm the continuity and extensions of the current mineral resource estimate at the Tower Gold project. These results support significant gold grades across wide widths of gold mineralization within the economic open pit mineral resources at 903 as defined in the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") study and within an area contained during the payback period in the first 5 years of production. Extensions of good gold mineralization have also been intersected outside the resource and pit. As we continue to grow, de-risk, and advance the Project, we look forward to completing the current resource infill and upgrade drill program in preparation of a mineral resource estimate update for the planned Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS")."
