UrbanGold Begins Gold Exploration at Elmer-East

Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2020) -  UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UGM) ("UrbanGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of its first exploration program on its 100% owned Elmer-East property (the "Property") located in James Bay, Quebec along the same greenstone belt as Azimut Exploration's Elmer recent gold discovery of 3.15 g/t Au over 102.0m in drilling (Azimut January 14, 2020 news release).

Historical reports indicate that almost no surface work has been done on the Property except for government mapping completed in 1999. This is despite the fact that the Property is located within a favorable geological context and some of the highest gold values in bottom lake sediments in the entire Elmer region. The field crew will focus on eight (8) initial target areas identified by a high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey previously completed over the entire Property.

Mathieu Stephens, UrbanGold President and CEO commented: "While UrbanGold's flagship properties are in the Troilus area which remains our main focus, UrbanGold owns other key gold assets located in areas of high interest and potential. We are advancing these properties in parallel to the work that is underway at Troilus, which will include the resumption of our drill program".

The 1,942-hectare Property is located 65 kilometres west of the Eleonore Gold mine and east of Elmer. Local infrastructure including an all-weather road and a powerline are within five kilometres of the Property. Readers are invited to visit UrbanGold's website for additional information about the Property and the exploration program.
