Doubleview Gold Corp.'s 2024 Drilling Campaign Passes 5,000m Mark
Vancouver, September 12, 2024 - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on work at its Hat property in Northwestern British Columbia. The wholly owned Hat Project hosts a large copper-gold-cobalt porphyry-type mineral deposit that was discovered in 2014 and has since been explored by technical surveys and drilling, 79 diamond drill holes with a total length of 36,579.88 metres.
In the 2024 season, Doubleview has drilled more than 5,300 m in 8 drill holes. This drill campaign is directed to the Lisle Zone where an initial Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE-V1"), prepared by independent consultants, reported an indicated resource of 150 million tonnes (Mt) and an inferred resource of 477 Mt at 0.2% copper equivalent ("CuEq**") cut-off grade* as well as a scandium potential of an estimated 300 to 500Mt at an average grade of 40ppm. The MRE-V1 figures are: indicated resource of 1.353 billion pounds (Blb) of CuEq at 0.408% CuEq, which includes 733 million pounds (Mlb) of copper, 28 Mlb of cobalt, 929 thousand ounces of gold and 2 million ounces of silver and inferred resource of 3.619 Blb of CuEq at 0.344% CuEq, which includes 1.945 Blb of copper, 91 Mlb of cobalt, 2.328 million ounces of gold and 7.575 million ounces of silver.
For more information on this MRE-V1, please see the Company's news release dated July 25, 2024.
* Parameters used to calculate cut-off grade:
Au price US$/oz: 1,900; Ag price US$/oz: 24; Cu price US$/lb: 4; Co price US$/lb: 22; Au recovery: 89.0%; Ag recovery: 68.0%; Cu recovery: 84.0%; Co recovery: 78.0%; Mining cost US$/t (OP): 2.5; Processing Cost US$/t: 6; G&A Cost US$/t: 2
** Copper Equivalent Calculation
CuEq in % = ([Ag grade in ppm] *24*0.68/31.1035 + [Au grade in ppm] *1900*.89/31.1035 + 0.0001* [Co grade in ppm] *22*0.78*22.0462 + 0.0001* [Cu grade in ppm] *4*0.84*22.0462)/(4*22.0462*0.84). Scandium is not part of the copper equivalent calculation.
Current drilling will increase data density to promote the MRE-V1 to higher levels of confidence for inclusion in a follow up MRE ("MRE-V2").
Accompanying photographs illustrate sections of high-grade sulphide and magnetite mineralization, a common type of mineralization for the Hat deposit that has repeatedly been observed during the present drill campaign.

Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO of Doubleview stated: "We are encouraged by the strength of the sulphide mineralization that confirms our geologic and mineralization model. As always, observations provide further clues to help us understand the genesis and formation of the Hat deposit."
Drill cores from the recently completed drill holes display numerous intervals of massive mineralization and textures and alteration that may be related to nearby intrusive rock formations that may be the source of the Hat deposit's mineralizing fluids.
