Caprock Provides Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Destiny Gold Project in Quebec

Toronto, November 1, 2024 - Caprock Mining Corp. (CSE: CAPR) ("Caprock" or the "Company") announces that in connection with the annual and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on November 7, 2024 (the "Meeting") that it wishes to provide the following additional disclosure regarding the historical resource described in the Company's management information circular (the "Circular") prepared and mailed to shareholders in connection with the Meeting.

One of the items of business being considered at the Meeting is the consideration of an ordinary resolution to approve the execution of a property option agreement in respect of the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Destiny gold property located in Despinassay township, 75 km northeast of Val D'Or, Quebec (the "Property"). The Circular contains certain information regarding the Property including information on a historical resource estimate (the "Historical Estimate").

In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and as a result of a continuous disclosure review by staff of the Ontario Securities Commission, the Company wishes to provide additional information in respect of the Historical Estimate. The source of the Historical Estimate was a NI 43-101 technical report dated March 1, 2011 authored by Todd McCracken, P.Geo. working for Wardrop and prepared for Alto Ventures Ltd., a previous owner of the Property. Management of the Company believes that the Historical Estimate is reliable based on the fact that it was prepared by a qualified person with extensive experience in Archean and Proterozoic gold deposits, working for a world-renowned resource firm. In order to bring this Historical Estimate to current relevance, the estimate needs to be re-generated using current economic parameters in the context of the current gold price environment and latest costing estimates. The key assumptions and parameters of the Historical Estimate are as follows: (i) drill holes used: 152; (ii) gold price of US$973/oz; (iii) strip ratio: 4:1; (iv) cut-off grade: 0.5 g/t Au; (v) FX Rate: 1.02 CAD - 1.00 USD; (vi) gold recovery: 94%; (vii) operating cost: $14.30/tonne; and (viii) operating rate: 10,000 tpd. Furthermore, the Company would like to note that the Historical Estimate's global block model statistics showed good agreement between all three separate modeling methods, including ordinary kriging, inverse distance squared and nearest neighbour. The Historical Estimate does not use categories other than the ones set out in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101. Approximately 10,000 metres of diamond drilling was conducted on the Property subsequent to the Historical Estimate, and the Company needs to complete check assays on drill core and re-generate the resource estimate through a third-party qualified person. The updated resource estimate, if completed, is expected to take into account the ~10,000 metres of additional drilling, and present-day gold economics.

The Company confirms that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the Historical Estimate as current mineral resources or mineral resources, and the Company is not treating the Historical Estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
