KORE Mining Generates Additional Drill Targets at Long Valley Gold Project

VANCOUVER, March 24, 2020 - Kore Mining Ltd. (TSXV: KORE | OTCQB: KOREF) ("KORE" or the "Company") is pleased to announce completion of ground geophysics at the Long Valley gold project ("Long Valley" or "Project") which generated additional oxide and potential feeder structure drill targets. This completes the drill targeting geophysics and sampling program announced January 30, 2020.

Highlights

• Completed additional 17.9 line km geophysical surveys
• Confirmed continuity of potential north-south feeder structures now more than 3.5 km in length and untested by drilling
• Expanded undrilled near surface oxide drill targets aligned with potential feeder structures and current resource
• Next step: initial drill program to test highest priority areas

Scott Trebilcock, President and CEO of KORE, stated, "KORE has completed targeting work and is excited about the Long Valley deposit's growth potential." Mr. Trebilcock continued, "Given the large-scale oxide targets and clear "feeder structure" targets, our next step is to permit a drill program focused on the highest priority targets."

In H2 2019 and early 2020, the KORE exploration team re-logged 232 of 896 drill holes, conducted geological mapping, collected rock and soil samples and ran two lines of Induced Polarization ("IP") and ground magnetic geophysics coinciding with the re-logged holes and soil sampling lines. The work confirmed a new exploration strategy, testing it against known mineralization and generated drill targets. See news release from January 30, 2020 for results including cross-sections.

The team has now conducted a total of 23.2 line km of ground induced polarization IP and magnetic geophysics. The work successfully extended the new exploration strategy across the southern project claims or about 3.5 km of strike. Figure 1 shows the location of the IP geophysics surveys.

Figure 2 is a plan map of chargeability from the IP geophysics. Areas interpreted as hosting near-surface oxide mineralization are characterized by a chargeability low. At least three north-south trending, open-ended, and parallel chargeability anomalies extend through the property. The defined anomaly surface area is approximately the same size area as the current Long Valley resource. Figure 2 also shows interpreted faults and "feeder structures" from the resistivity survey.

Figure 3 is a 3D perspective of the resistivity sections. Areas interpreted as potential "feeder structures" are characterized as linear resistivity highs. At least five north-south trending, open-ended, and parallel resistivity anomalies extend through the property. The potential strike of the anomalies is 3.5 km or more.

Next Steps
The next step is for KORE to drill some of the highest priority targets in both potential feeder structure sulphides and surficial oxide anomalies. Timing of the drilling is subject to permitting and seasonality. KORE is engaging with regulatory authorities for a Phase 1 drilling program to test the Company's new geological interpretations.

About Long Valley Project
Long Valley is 100% owned epithermal gold project located in Mono County California. The Long Valley deposit is an intact epithermal gold deposit ("Deposit") with a large 2.5 by 2 kilometer oxide gold footprint. A total of 896 holes have been drilled on the Project, the majority being completed by reverse circulation with lesser core, rotary and air track. Figure 1 shows the claims and mineralized area.

The current mineral resource estimate is 1,247,000 ounces of Indicated gold and 486,000 ounces of Inferred gold from 66.8 million tonnes of 0.58 grams per tonne and 23.6 million tonnes of 0.65 grams per tonne, respectively. The mineral resource consists of oxide, transition and sulphides. The estimate was prepared Neil Prenn, P.E., and Steven Weiss, C.P.G. of Mine Development Associates with an effective date of November 15, 2019. More information is available in the technical report filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on KORE's website at www.koremining.com.

About Long Valley Deposit
The Long Valley deposit is an intact low sulphidation epithermal gold/silver deposit, hosted within a melange of fine to coarse volcanogenic sedimentary lithologies. Mineralization at Long Valley has developed due to a combination of deep-rooted fault structures and a resurgence of rhyolite within an active caldera. The Hilton Creek Fault structure transects and served as a fluid conduit for interaction with the underlying hydrothermal system, while the rhyolite resurgence caused brittle fracturing of sediments and created voids or traps for mineralization and gold deposition. The combination of these factors yields strongly altered kaolin and quartz-hematite zones that are the primary host for gold mineralization.

About KORE
KORE is 100% owner of a portfolio of advanced gold exploration and development assets in California and British Columbia. KORE is supported by strategic investors Eric Sprott and Macquarie Bank who, together with the management and Board own 66% of the basic shares outstanding.
