Toronto, Ontario – July 8, 2022 – American Eagle Gold Corp. (AE: TSXV) ("American Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that at the annual and special meeting of its shareholders held on June 30th, each item of business placed before the shareholders was approved, including (i) the re-election of the current board of directors; and (ii) the change of the name of the Company to "Drillore Exploration Inc.".  The Company also decided to make a strategic shift in focus on exploration in Canada.

American Eagle Gold's focus will be exploring its NAK copper-gold porphyry project in Central British Columbia. Since the acquisition of NAK in December 2021, an extraordinary amount of work has been put into the property, justifying the Company’s decision to focus its attention on exploring this property. The vast amount of historical data and new interpretations on NAK has provided confidence that a high-grade underground deposit could exist. Compared to exploring in Nevada, BC offers a far superior risk-reward ratio, making it in the best interest of shareholders to shift focus to a jurisdiction that is more cost-effective for exploration drilling and managing a business. Therefore, American Eagle will exit the USA and focus on expanding its presence in BC by making a discovery, defining a resource at NAK and further consolidating the area.

At NAK, drilling will begin this year, and the Company will test 5-7 drill site locations with a minimum of 3,000m of drilling. The Company has contracted ITL Drilling, and drills will begin turning within two weeks of receiving permits. Historical results at NAK have been encouraging, with the majority of the historical drill holes ending in copper and gold mineralization. The property exhibits an extensive copper-gold bearing alteration footprint with indications of higher grades occurring at depth. Historical drilling has been restricted to the upper parts of the mineralized alteration zone and limited drilling has been undertaken below a vertical depth of 170m.  NAK shows strong geological similarities with Newcrest’s Red Chris and Newmont's Saddle copper-gold deposits located to the north of NAK.

As a result of the change in focus, the Company will not pursue its interests on any claims in Nevada. Management believes that NAK and other opportunities in the Company's strategy offer better prospects and higher potential risk-adjusted returns for shareholders.

About the NAK Project

The NAK project, located in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District of British Columbia, offers American Eagle Gold a valuable risk-reward proposition to drill test a new geophysical feature within a well-understood geologic environment. NAK's known copper-gold porphyry mineralization is open at depth and is defined by a compelling geophysical signature analogous to Newcrest's Red Chris Mine and Newmont's Saddle deposit located in Northwest BC. The drilling targets of NAK were defined and supported by the analysis and reinterpretation of geochemical, geophysics and drilling data, all of which demonstrated coincidental anomalies.
