Stuve Gold Corp. Enters into Acquisition Agreement for Inca Property and Announces Proposed Private Placement

CALGARY, April 22, 2021 - Stuve Gold Corp. ("Stuve Gold" or the "Corporation") (TSXV:STUV) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire a 100% unencumbered interest in the Inca property located in Maricunga Gold-Silver Belt of northern Chile (the "Inca Property").

Details of the Inca Property

The Inca Property is home to current artisanal high-grade gold-silver mining. It encompasses 2,941 hectares located in the southern sector of Maricunga Gold - Silver Belt, noted for its multi-million-ounce deposits such as Cerro Casale located 10 km to the east which has estimated reserves of 23 million oz of gold and 58.7 million oz of silver ⁽¹⁾. Surface exploration programs conducted by the property owners in 2012 to 2014 identified five Au - Ag - Cu bearing alteration zones. The type and metal associations, the local geology, structure, and the mineralogy are the same as the neighboring acid sulphate epithermal gold-silver vein systems and the gold-silver-copper porphyry deposits at Cerro Casale.

Surface rock chip sampling from the western "Ojos de Agua" alteration zone returned high grade assays of up to 47.6 g/t Au and 765 g/t Ag from 1 - 2 metre wide high sulfidation veins and up to 2.2 g/t Au and 20.6 g/t Ag from the surrounding altered host rock. Artisanal mining on the Ojos de Agua veins is currently ongoing from which high grades of 72 - 290 g/t Au and 381 - 787 g/t Ag are reportedly being recovered.

A reconnaissance IP survey was recently conducted by the current owner of the Inca Property. That survey, completed over the Ojos de Agua alteration zone, outlines a strong open ended chargeability/resistivity anomaly 50 - 90 metres below surface which extends to over 300 metres in depth. This survey suggests the existence of a secondary enrichment blanket at shallow depth and justifies a drilling program to test the anomaly.

Artisanal production grades and historic data pertaining to assay results are from the current property owner's records which Stuve Gold has not independently verified. Stuve Gold intends to carry out a check sampling program designed to substantiate the reliability of the reported historic production grades.

Commenting on the properties, Terence Walker, Stuve Gold's VP of Exploration, remarked: "I am excited about this property's potential and very much look forward to starting a sampling check program in the very near future".

Details of the Acquisition

The purchase agreement (the "Agreement") relates to 17 claim packages consisting of 2,941 hectares for a total purchase price of US $6,150,000. The purchase price is payable in four equal payments of US $100,000 with the first payable on signing of the Agreement and three additional payments every six months thereafter. Thereafter, three equal payments of US $150,000 are payable every six months with a balloon payment of $5,300,000 due on the 48^th month following signing of the Agreement. Stuve Gold does not earn an interest in the Inca Property until the full purchase price of US $6,150,000 has been paid, but Stuve Gold may stop making payments towards the purchase price at any time and Stuve Gold is not obligated to make any additional payments towards the purchase price thereafter.

Private Placement

To fund initial exploration efforts on the Inca Property, the Corporation intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,000,000 units of the Corporation ("Units") at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000 ("Private Placement"). There is no minimum offering. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Corporation ("Common Share") together with one share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share for a period of two years at a price of $0.35 per Common Share.

Stuve Gold may pay a cash commission or finder's fee to qualified non-related parties of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement and issue broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") equal to up to 7% of the number of Units sold in the Private Placement. Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.20 per Broker Warrant for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.

The Corporation is completing the Private Placement in order to secure the funding necessary to conduct exploration efforts on the Inca Property. Existing insiders of the Corporation intend to participate in the Private Placement.

Completion of the Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares, Warrants and Broker Warrants issued will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of the closing of the Private Placement.
