Winston Gold Completes Carrabba Tunnel: Provides Access to Parallel and Block 93 Gold Veins for Test Mining

WINNIPEG, May 6, 2020 - Winston Gold Corp. ("Winston Gold" or the "Corporation") (CSE:WGC)(OTCQB:WGMCF) is pleased to announce that the Carrabba tunnel has intersected the upper level workings of the historical Custer Gold Mine. The excavation work was accomplished without accident or health issues. Winston Gold takes pride in the fact that its mining team completed Carrabba Tunnel safely in the midst of the Covid pandemic using the best available health protocols.

After 900 feet (274 metres) of tunnel development, our mining team successfully reached their target and broke through into an old cross-cut tunnel that connects the upper level of the historical Custer Workings with the upper level development of the Block 93 vein system.

Upon inspection of the cross-cut tunnel it was determined that access to the old Block 93 workings is currently blocked by a muck pile situated about 40 feet (12 metres) southeast of the break-through point. Access to the Parallel gold vein and the old Custer Workings was also blocked by a muck pile about 80 feet (24 metres) northwest of the Carrabba break-through point.

"Looking forward, the plan is to slash out the old access tunnel to 12 feet by 12 feet dimensions so we can get modern mining equipment to the Parallel and Block 93 gold veins as well as gain access to the rest of the Upper Level Custer workings," stated Murray Nye, CEO and Director of Winston Gold. "We expect to reach the Parallel vein by the third week in May if everything goes as planned. At that point we intend to drive a drift along the Parallel vein and begin stockpiling gold mineralized material as we develop access."

The Block 93 gold vein was never formally mined but a historical drift was developed along the vein to prepare for stoping work. Winston has drilled above this old drift and did not encounter any stopes. These old workings will also be slashed to allow better access for personnel and equipment so drifting can continue along the vein.

Rehabilitation work on the upper level workings of the Custer Mine will continue from both ends of the historic workings once access to the Parallel and Block 93 veins have been established. The rehabilitation work will allow emergency access and ventilation as well as provide drill stations to further explore the down dip extent of the Custer vein system for future mining operations.
