Added Claims To Accommodate Potential Surface Facilities At New Amalga Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. has staked 64 new federal claims adjacent to its existing exploration claims at the New Amalga Gold project in Southeast Alaska. The added claims are intended to accommodate future surface facilities in support of a potential underground mine at the site.

Environmental studies and fieldwork are ongoing to determine the ideal layout of the potential surface facilities to ensure protection of fish habitat, maintain integrity of wetlands, and minimize overall ecological footprint.

The potential surface facilities are not planned to include an ore processing plant. Due to the resource location near tidewater and less than 4 miles (6.5km) from existing paved highway, the Company considers off-site processing by a third party to be the most favorable configuration for the project.

Ian Klassen, President and CEO, said, "We are extremely pleased to have secured these additional claims for the future mine surface facilities - a key milestone in our work towards preparing for the environmental review and permitting process. As always, our commitment is to exceed all regulatory requirements and environmental expectations while contributing to the local economy and creating long-term job opportunities for the community of Juneau".

The Company is also pleased to confirm that it has received all necessary regulatory approvals for its upcoming 2025 field program at its New Amalga Gold project (formerly the Herbert Gold project).
