BIG GOLD REPORTS DRILLING RESULTS AT TABOR PROPERTY IN THE SHEBANDOWAN GREENSTONE BELT IN NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO
Big Gold Reports Drilling Results at Tabor
Property in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt
in Northwestern Ontario
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp.
- February 3, 2025) - Big Gold Inc. (CSE: BG) (FSE: H7L) (the
"Company" or "Big Gold") wishes to announce assay results from the Company's maiden drill program
at Tabor. A total of 642 metres was drilled in the program in the highly prospective Shebandowan
Greenstone Belt (SGB) in Northwestern Ontario.
The maiden drill program focused on the East Divide Target Zone where grab sampling returned assay
values up to11.4 g/t Gold (Au) during Phase 2 exploration and 1.46 metres of 10.9 g/t Au, 34.1 g/t silver,
0.5% copper, and 1.8% zinc from historical infill sampling of available drill core.
The drill program tested geophysical anomalies outlined using Induced Polarization (IP) surey data that
defined targets in the Company's early 2024 IP survey. Drill holes were placed on three 100 metre
spaced intervals (sections) that tested a strike length of 200 metres. All three sections where drilling was
carried out intersected zones of alteration, shearing, and veining to a maximum depth of 168 metres.
Hole TB-24-001 tested the continuation of the East Divide Zone and intersected 0.154 g/t Au over 0.76m
from 101m in quartz veining containing minor pyrite. Hole TB-24-004, which was drilled 200m to the east
along strike from hole TB-24-001, intersected three distinct zones of vein and sheared mafic volcanics,
resulting in:
0.136 g/t Au over 0.5m from 52m in scattered quartz veinlets within mafic volcanics
0.524 g/t Au over 0.5m from 90m in mineralized quartz vein containing pyrite and pyrrhotite (Figure
1).
0.185 g/t Au over 0.88m from 146.12m in sheared and mineralized quartz vein containing 4% disseminated pyrite
While no high-grade gold assay results were encountered, the presence of anomalous gold and sulphide
mineralization within zones of shearing and veining over a strike length of 200m is promising.
A 3D view of the Tabor drill program is shown in Figure 2. Selected assay results are available in Table
1. Drill collar information is found in Table 2.Figure 1: TB-24-004 drill core, quartz vein w ith up to 4% pyrite and 2% pyrrhotite, assayed 0.524 g/t
Au.

"We are pleased to have uncovered quartz veining and mineralization over a strike length of 200 metres
at the Tabor Property,
" said Scott Walters, CEO of Big Gold.
"We are using the invaluable lithology,alteration, mineralization, and structural data gained from our maiden drill program to refine our targets
for the next phase of drilling at the Tabor Property.

About the Tabor Project
Tabor is adjacent to the east, along trend of Goldshore's Moss Lake gold deposit that hosts current
inferred or higher category mineral resources of 6.73 million ounces of gold, including an Indicated
Resource of 1.535 million ounces gold grading 1.23 g/t and an Inferred Resource of 5.198 million
ounces gold at a grade of 1.11 g/t* and Tabor is located approximately 20 km to the west of the Delta
Resources Delta-1 Project ("Delta-1")* (Technical Report filed March 21, 2024www.goldshoreresources.com).
Gold mineralization on the Project is, at least in part, associated with quartz veins, shearing and more
abundant sulphides. Geological and mineralization characteristics at Tabor are similar to those found on
some of the neighbouring properties, including Goldshore's Moss Lake project where a recent drill hole
intersected 2.17 g/t gold over 50.35 m and at the Delta-1, where Delta Resources Limited (March 1,
2024) reported a drill intercept of 15.94 g/t gold over 10 m.
Sampling and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) Procedures
All drill holes were logged, sampled, photographed, and cut in DP Diamond Blades secure logging
facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Samples were cut with a DP Diamond Saw 5 HP, and the top half was
placed in a labelled sample bag with the matching sample tag number. Prepared samples were
delivered to AGAT Laboratories facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, for preparation and assay analysis.
The following preparation and analytical methods were used:
Dry <5kg, Crush to 75% passing 2mm, split to 250g (method code (200-075)
Pulverize to 85% passing 75 microns (method code 200-087)
Metals Package by 4Acid Digest / ICP-OES Finish (method code (201-070)
Au Fire Assay - AA (50g) (method code 202-551)
Au Overlimit (>10 g/t Au) by Gravimetric Finish (50g) (method code 202-564)
The following QAQC procedures were used:
One Blank, Certified Reference Materials (CRM), or Coarse Duplicates inserted into the sample
stream every ten (10) core samples
CRMs OREAS-230 and OREAS-234 were selected for use in the drill program
A minimum of two (2) Big Gold personnel received all AGAT Laboratory assay certificates
There were no failures identified in the QAQC assay results
