The Doda South Property is strategically located over anastomosing regional structures associated with recent gold mineralization discoveries the most recent one being on the Nelligan property held by Vanstar and IAMGOLD Corporation located east of the Doda South Property (see Vanstar's press releases dated May 30, 2019, January 10, 2019 and November 16, 2018). Reader should note that mineralization hosted on adjacent and nearby properties and operations is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Doda South property to be acquired by Visible Gold Mines.

Martin Dallaire, President and CEO of Visible Gold Mines stated, "with this important Vanstar/Iamgold discovery on the Nelligan property, we firmly believe that this region has the potential to become a very active mining camp, in which Visible Gold Mines will be well positioned with its Horsefly, Hazeur and Doda South properties in proximity".
