Other drilling in the Purdex Zone at High Lake continues to show mineralization well beyond the historical 100-metre level to below the 300-metre level.

TORONTO, CANADA, February 28, 2023 – McFarlane Lake Mining Limited (“McFarlane” or the “Company”) (NEO: MLM, OTCQB: MLMLF), a Canadian mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to provide a further update on the progress made at the Company’s High Lake property in Ontario, near the Ontario-Manitoba Border. To date, McFarlane has completed 46 holes totalling about 10,000 metres and received assays for 41 holes.

Drilling in hole MLM-22-40 has a near-surface intersection of 6.14 g/t gold over 24.55 metres from 14.61 to 41.80 as measured in drill core length from surface, including 24.55 g/t gold over 5.33 metres. Visible gold was evident within this high-grade interval. McFarlane also intersected high-grade gold at ~300 and ~350 metres below surface of 54.90 g/t gold over 0.30 metres and 47.28 g/t gold over 1.80m in holes MLMH-22-20 and MLMH-22-21, respectively. Hole MLHL-22-21 also includes an interval of 105.00 g/t gold over 0.8 metres.

“When we began our exploration plans for High Lake, we knew our focus should be on the Purdex Zone, which had attractive historical resources but had not been tested below 100 metres,” said Bob Kusins, Vice President of Geology at McFarlane. “Our drilling to date has identified several high-grade mineralized trends that extend well below 300 metres with some exceptional intercepts. These latest results further confirm our outlook that the geology supports a continuance of gold mineralization.”

The Company released previous drill results showing attractive gold mineralization at High Lake on December 12, 2022, January 9, 2023, January 25, 2023, and February 7, 2023.

The mineralized zone and our current drill results to date with multiple high-grade intersections is shown in figure 1 below.

Note: non-compliant historical resources on High Lake were outlined to only 100 metres below surface. Use the following link for the historic resource disclosure statement, which is located on the Company’s website: mcfarlanelakemining.com/historic-resource-disclosure.

“We continue to see excellent results with additional assays yet to be returned. We are pleased to see the continued development of a potential mineralized zone with multiple high-grade intersections in the Purdex Zone,” added Roger Emdin, COO of McFarlane. “We look forward to receiving further drill results from this campaign and with our goal of  defining a 43-101 compliant resource at High Lake.”

Significant intersections are summarized in Table 1. Collar locations and details of the holes with assays received are summarized in Table 2.

A technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) with respect to the High Lake and West Hawk Lake properties is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at https://mcfarlanelakemining.com.

QA/QC Control Procedures

McFarlane Lake has implemented a Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) program consistent with industry best practices. The drill core is being logged and sampled at a nearby facility with sawn half-core samples, including QA/QC samples, being sent to an accredited lab (Actlabs) in Thunder Bay, Ontario, for processing. The remaining half core has been retained in a locked facility for future examination. Certified reference material (CRM) standards and blanks are inserted every 10 samples into the sample stream. Gold was analyzed by 30-gram fire assay with AA-finish. Samples above 5 grams per tonne gold were re-assayed for gold with a gravimetric finish, while those above 10 grams per tonne were re-assayed utilizing the pulp metallic method.

The technical contents of this news release have been reviewed and approved by Robert Kusins, Vice President of Geology of McFarlane. Mr. Kusins is a qualified person, as defined by NI43-101. However, Mr. Kusins is not independent of the Company by virtue of his position.
