Gary O'Connor, Moneta's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, 'These latest infill assay drill results from Westaway and South West continue to confirm the continuity and extensions of the current mineral resource estimate, recently updated in September. These results support significant gold grades across wide widths of gold mineralization within the mostly underground mineral resources and have intersected extensions of mineralization outside the resource up to 150 metres to the west and at depth and up to 300 metres to the east. As we continue to de-risk and advance the Tower Gold project, we look forward to completing the current resource infill and upgrade drill program in preparation of a mineral resource estimate update for the planned Pre-Feasibility Study, set to commence in the first quarter of 2024.'

The latest assay results are from fourteen (14) drill holes for 8,309.0 m of diamond drilling, including 12 drill holes for 6,276.0 m from Westaway and 2 holes for 2,033.0 m from South West, completed as part of an initial 70,000 m drill program planned as resource infill and upgrade drilling. Drilling is being conducted on 50 m centres as step-outs and infill of previous drill holes.
