Winston Gold Intersects 22.77 g/t Gold and 107.65 g/t Silver Over 5 ft in Parallel Vein

WINNIPEG, October 20, 2020 - Winston Gold Corp. ("Winston Gold" or the "Corporation") (CSE:WGC)(OTCQB:WGMCF) is pleased to announce that it intersected high-grade gold while drilling the western extension of the Parallel Vein system on its Winston Gold Project near Helena, Montana.

Underground drill hole W120 cut through the Parallel Vein 105 ft (32 metres) ahead of, and 87 ft (26.5 metres) below the current development face of the Parallel vein on the 4637 level.

The combined weighted average of the drill intercept is 0.664 opt gold (22.77 g/t gold) and 3.14 opt silver (107.65 g/t silver). Details of the drill hole are as follows;

The vein intervals listed above are not true width. Current observations indicate the vein dip is constantly changing in this area of the mine.

"This is a significant intercept, commented Murray Nye, CEO and Director of Winston Gold. "It clearly shows that gold mineralization in the Parallel vein continues to the Southwest and at depth."

The current underground drilling program is proving the continuity of the Parallel Vein system as it trends towards the Southwest and gets closer to the Block 93 Vein system. Winston is now drilling a flat (horizontal) underground hole 80 ft (24.4 metres) in front of the 4637 drift face of the Parallel West development drift.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists and the chain of custody from the drill to the on-site sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. The samples are crushed, pulverized and the sample pulps digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and a 50 gram gravimetric finish. Any assay averaging more than 0.1 opt gold is sent to Bureau Veritas Minerals in Reno Nevada for checks. Blank or certified reference materials are inserted randomly.
