Independence Gold Corp. announced the first assay results from drilling carried out on the Mint Vein System at its 100% owned 3Ts Project. The 3Ts Project is located approximately 185 kilometres ("km") southwest of Prince George, British Columbia and situated 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.''s Blackwater Project.

The Mint Vein System is situated in the center of the 3Ts Project striking north-south for approximately one kilometre. The vein system has been tested under previous drill programs with results having contributed to the 2022 inferred resource along with the Ted and Tommy vein systems. The combined in-pit and underground components of the Tommy and Ted-Mint vein systems contain a total inferred resource estimate of 4,469,297 tonnes grading 3.64 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 96.26 g/t silver, at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t gold equivalent ("AuEq") in-pit and 2.0 g/t AuEq underground, containing 522,330 ounces of gold and 13,831,415 ounces of silver. Drilling at the Mint Vein System was designed to test key areas for additional assay data for a future update of the inferred resource.

Drill hole 3TS-23-38 intersected 27.43 million etres ("m") of mineralized quartz vein between 109.00 million to 136.43 million grading 3.48 g/t gold and 325.96 g/t silver. Additionally, 3TS-23-41, which was drilled 150 million north of 3TS-23-38, intersected 15.00 million of mineralization between 73.00 million and 88.00 million grading 4.29 g/t gold and 60.40 g/t silver. Please refer to the website for a map showing the veins and drill hole locations.

The fall drill program was completed on November 15th, 2023, with a total of 1,805 million of drilling carried out. Drilling primarily targeted the Mint Vein System with additional drill testing of the new Johnny and Ian Veins and "first-pass" exploration of the new Ootsa copper -silver target. Results are being released as they are received from the lab and may be out of sequential order due to varying submission dates after logging and sample preparation times.

Planning is currently underway for an approximately 5,000 million drill programs to commence during the first quarter of 2024. This program will be designed to test the Ted-Mint and Tommy Vein Systems at depth and other targets outlined by previous geophysics and geological exploration. All drill holes completed to date have been sent to SGS lab in Vancouver for sample preparation and analysis.

Robotic sample preparation is used to ensure reproducibility; samples are pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. All samples are submitted for four acid digests with an ICP finish. Gold grades are obtained by fire assay with AAS finish.

Gold grades are obtained by fire assay with AAS finish; Dollar, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Azimuth, Dip, Total Length, 3TS-23-38.38, 364793, 5876500, 1201 million, 90, -50, 158 million, 3TS-23-40, 3TS-23-23-41, 364796, 5876640, 1169, 1169,000 million, 3TS-23, and 3TS-23-41.
