Mr. Kelly Malcolm reports:
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 29, 2024) - Borealis Mining Company Limited (TSXV: BOGO) (FSE: L4B0) (the "Company" or "Borealis") is pleased to announce an expansion of its claim package at the Borealis property in Nevada. The newly acquired claims add 3.66 square miles to an existing 22.9 square mile package within one of the largest zones of hydrothermal alteration in the State1. These new claims contain significant historical drill intercepts and surface sampling results along a structure subparallel to the main Borealis trend.
Sixty-four claims were added by claim staking on the east side of current claim holdings, containing 14 historical drillholes and numerous surface samples containing significant gold mineralization. Highlights from these holes include:
Detailed historical geological logs have not been located for these drillholes but mapping in the field and the shallow depth of intercepts suggest that these intercepts are all oxides.
Historical surface samples within the new claims include 33 samples with gold grades between 0.3g/t and 1.57g/t and silver grades as high as 5 ounces per tonne. The drillholes and surface samples are located along a northeast-trending structure over 1 mile in length, subparallel to the main Borealis trend.
The new Borealis claims are located in the same general area as the 583 claims recently staked by Headwater Gold (CSE: HWG) who are operating under an earn-in agreement with Newmont Corporation.
Iain Campbell, VP Exploration of Borealis, comments "The new claims contain meaningful Au mineralization in historical drillholes, and significant mineralization in multiple surface samples. This is an example of a previously discovered oxide target on the property, much like the existing Bullion and Boundary Ridge gold deposits, that just need more drilling to potentially bring into the future production pipeline. This gives the Exploration Team at Borealis the unique opportunity to take a methodical and patient approach to exploration for new deposits, expected to ultimately benefit investors and the company's bottom line."

Borealis Mine
The Borealis mine property, located close to the town of Hawthorne, NV, is fully permitted and equipped for present mine operations and future expansion, with existing open pits, heap leach pads, modern infrastructure, and a functional ADR facility which produces doré bars. The project has historically produced over 600,000 ounces of gold from an open pit heap leach operation. It is an under-explored property and has not been drilled since 2011. The property possesses high grade expansion potential with excellent historical drilling results, along with a number of untested regional targets.
About Borealis
Borealis is a gold mining and exploration company focused on exploration and resumption of production of the Borealis Mine in Nevada. The Borealis Mine is a fully permitted minesite, equipped with active heap leach pads, an ADR facility, and all necessary infrastructure to support a heap leach gold mining operation. In addition to the mine, the property, comprised of 751 unpatented mining claims of approximately 20 acres each totalling approximately 15,020 acres and one unpatented mill site claim of about five acres located in western Nevada, is highly prospective for additional high-sulfidation gold mineralization. Borealis is led by a strong board and management team, many of whom have founded, managed, and sold highly successful mining and exploration companies.
