UrbanGold Hires Senior Technical Advisor, Increases Its Troilus Land Position and Dispatches Field Crew

Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 8, 2020) - UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UGM) ("UrbanGold" or the "Company") is pleased to report it has hired geologist Robert Fraser as the Company's senior technical advisor. Mr. Fraser was directly responsible for discovery of the Troilus Mine in the late 1980s by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd.

Mathieu Stephens, President and CEO for UrbanGold commented: "We are very pleased that Mr. Fraser contacted UrbanGold regarding the potential of our Troilus area properties and we are delighted that he has accepted to advise the Company on its upcoming exploration programs. Mr. Fraser is well known in the industry and we anticipate that UrbanGold will greatly benefit from his wealth of knowledge and experience in the area."

Following the acquisition of the Quebec Precious Metals property (see news release of May 26, 2020), UrbanGold has expanded its land position in the Troilus area with the acquisition of 58 new mineral claims by map staking, bringing its total land package to 25,600 hectares.

The additional claims cover under-explored prospective ground within greenstone terrane and where important electromagnetic anomalies are present which have never been drill tested. A field crew has been dispatched to the area last week and have commenced surface exploration on priority targets. The planned summer/fall exploration program encompasses geology, geochemistry, geophysics and drilling, details for which will be provided in a subsequent news release.
