SNOWLINE GOLD CORP (TSXV:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to provide a summary of key activities and achievements over the past calendar year. In June 2024, Snowline released an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its 100% owned Valley deposit on its Rogue Project, just two and a half years after the initial drill discovery, establishing Valley as a significant, continuous, near-surface gold deposit with clean, non-refractory mineralization and unusually high grades for a reduced intrusion-related gold system (RIRGS). Following the initial MRE, Snowline safely and efficiently completed an additional 25,000 m drilling at Valley during 2024, expanding the footprint of known mineralization at Valley and nearly doubling the number of metres drilled into the deposit. The Company completed an additional 10,000 m of exploratory drilling on regional targets. With more than C$43.2M in the treasury, Snowline is well positioned for a momentous year in 2025. Active regional exploration and drilling will complement a core focus on rigorous, rapid and responsible advancement of Valley.
