About Falcon Gold Corp.

Falcon is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring, and exploring opportunities in North America. Falcon has the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the New York Canyon copper property from Canyon Copper Corp. Located in western Nevada, the property has been subject to 181 drill holes totaling approximately 39,000 m (128,000 ft) to date. Recent work by Copper Canyon was focused on the mineralized zones within 21 patented claims and much of the drilling was directed at the Longshot Ridge copper-oxide mineralization.

Historical drilling by Continental Oil Company (Conoco) identified significant intervals of copper and molybdenum mineralization which includes the 1977 drill hole MN-42 that intersected 1,040 ft (317m) of 0.41% Cu, 0.012% Mo and 4 ppm Ag within the Copper Queen zone located approximately 3 kilometers west of the Longshot Ridge zone. Based on compilation of historical exploration data which includes diamond drilling and geophysical surveys (Induced Polarization and Magnetics), the Longshot Ridge, Champion, and Copper Queen zones represent priority target areas of exploration for porphyry, and skarn-style mineralization and the development of mineral resources.

In addition to the New York Canyon project, Falcon holds a 100% interest in the Washington Silver project that includes the past producing Silver Bell mine located in the Republic Mining District, northeastern Washington, USA. Previous drilling by Falcon has demonstrated the high grade potential of this silver project with an intersection of 167 grams per tonne (g/t) Ag over 36.5 m including a high grade intercept of 511.57 g/t Ag and 0.83 g/t Au over 9.14 m.
