7 February 2022

Gold Mountain Limited (ASX:GMN) ("Gold Mountain" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on assay results from the Mt Wipi drilling program and ongoing regional exploration work.

Assays from the third and fourth hole in the drilling program have returned the Company's highest drill

hole gold results to date. In addition to this, wide zones of alteration and mineralisation are being

useobserved in the fifth hole which is currently at a depth of 465m. Additional regional exploration work

has delivered significant rock chips assays for copper, gold and molybdenum, in conjunction with

personal

Multi-element analysis indicates that MWD003 was likely drilled on the periphery of a porphyry system

porphyry pathfinder elements that confirm the presence of a mineralised corridor that extends 17km

from Mt Wipi though Sak Creek and into Monoyal.

Highlights

Gold assay results have been received for holes MWD003 and MWD004 and gold mineralisation was

intersected in both holes, including:

o 1m @ 6.54 g/t Au from 115m (MWD003)

o 18m of 0.21 g/t Au1 from 240m (MWD004)

Multi-element assay results have been received for MWD003 and are pending for MWD004

Spot highs of 1m @ 0.20% copper, 2m @ 16.1g/t Ag and 1m @ 187ppm Mo were also recorded in

MWD003

Anomalous copper, gold, and silver mineralisation were recorded throughout the entire length of

MWD003, with the hole recording: 0.060g/t Au, 0.36g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu and 13ppm Mo over 345m

which is borne out by the anomalous gold in the hole and the fact that chalcopyrite and moly were

observed on fracture surfaces and in veins throughout the hole.2

MWD003 intersected 12 veins or mineralised structures in the top 134m of the hole which

contained over 0.10 g/t Au, with the best intersects being:

o 2m @ 2.27 g/t Au from 34m3

o 2m @ 1.79 g/t Au from 52m o 2m @ 3.34 g/t Au from 115m

The zone of anomalous gold mineralisation intersected in MWD004, which is associated with a mineralised skarn, is thought to be the down dip extension of surface channel samples which recorded 35m @ 0.36% Cu in MWTR001.4

MWD005 has been designed to test two zones of mineralisation which were intersected in trench

MWTR003, including: 37m @ 0.24g/t Au, 0.25% Cu and 5.4g/t Ag from 6m and 62m @ 0.20g/t Au,

0.18% Cu and 4.65g/t Ag from 145m5. Drilling is ongoing with the hole currently at 465m.

A regional exploration program at the highly prospective Kandum and Pully prospects and more

broadly in the Mt Wipi - Sak Creek - Monoyal structural corridor are ongoing. Results from 383

rock chip samples taken within the corridor have been received with elemental highs of:

o 37.3g/t Au - LYRC694

o 13.76% Cu - LYRC636

o 20.93% Zn - LYRC571

o 478ppm Mo - LYRC556

o 343g/t Ag - LYRC708

Tim Cameron, the CEO of Gold Mountain said, "I am very encouraged that holes MWD003 and 004 have

returned the Company's highest gold drill hole results to date. The mineralisation we are observing in MWD005 personalis confirmation that we are exploring a very large mineralised system. These gold intercepts and associated alteration contained within broad zones of mineralisation are in my opinion very significant and build my

confidence that we are getting closer to a major find.

It also supports our exploration methodology whereby when we have tested below zones of copper and gold geochemistry identified in soil sampling and trench samples, we have intersected mineralisation in the hole.

The team in PNG is focused on identifying new prospects in country, while the Australian team are analysing the drill results to focus additional drilling to maximise the potential of making an economic discovery.

"The ongoing discovery of highly mineralised rock chip results from the Mt Wipi - Sak Creek - Monoyal structural corridor also reinforce our belief that the broader Wabag Project is highly prospective and additional targets will emerge."

Drilling Update

Gold Mountain has completed a total of four holes for at the Mt Wipi prospect, with a fifth hole (MWD005), Forcurrently nearing completion. Drill hole parameters and the drill hole locations are presented in Table 1 and

Figure 1, respectively.

MWD003 intersected a moderate to strongly fractured micro-diorite which contains quartz-magnetite and pyrite veins with chalcopyrite in micro veins and along structures. Narrow gold intercepts were recorded in the top 120m of hole MWD003 and appear to be associated with brittle fractures (i.e. 52-54m @ 1.79g/t Au, Figure 2), or localised bleaching and with quartz magnetite, pyrite and trace sulphide veinlets (i.e. between

115-117m which recorded 2m at 3.34g/t Au). Overall, twelve (12) narrow zones of +0.10g/t Au were intersected in the top 120m of MWD003, and these results are presented in Table 1 in Appendix 1.

MWD004 was designed to test beneath Cu-Au intercepts identified in Trench 1, which recorded an upper zone of 14m at 1.47% Cu and a lower zone which recorded 35m at 0.36% Cu. The mineralisation was associated with fault repeats of calc silicates and skarns intruded by a porphyry diorite. High intensity fracturing is associated with these structures and MWD004 intersected 18m of strongly altered calc silicates and skarn style mineralisation from 240m, which assayed @ 0.21g/t Au. This is possibly the down dip extensions of the lower zone. The highest recorded gold value from this 18m zone was 0.62g/t Au from 241m. A Table showing all the

Forsamples which comprise this intercept are included in Table 2 in Appendix 1. Part of this intercept (347m to 354m) is presented in Figure 3.

This is interpreted to be the depth extension of the lower mineralized horizon. The upper horizon was not intersected due to drilling issues and a hole is currently being designed to test this zone.

MWD005

MWD005 is currently at a depth of 465m, it was designed to test the elevated copper and gold geochemistry intersected in trench MWTR003. The hole appears to have intersected the first of these zones and is drilling towards the second zone.

ForRegional Exploration

Gold Mountain undertook a detailed and wide spaced rock chip sampling program in the Southwestern part of the Mt Wipi to Monoyal structural corridor primarily within EL2306. A total of 383 rock chip samples were collected, with the aim of identifying prospects for future follow up work. Numerous rock chip samples containing elevated copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, and silver were collected and these data are now being complied and analysed to identify high priority targets.

  • The highest recorded values from this rock chip sampling program are.
    o 37.3g/t Au from LYRC694 with a total of 88 samples recording gold values over 0.10g/t Au o 343g/t Ag from LYRC708, with a total of 45 samples recording values over 10g/t Ag
