HighGold Mining Commences 5000-Meter Winter Drill Program on Timmins Area Gold Projects


Vancouver, BC – February 26, 2020 – HighGold Mining Inc. (TSX-V:HIGH, OTCQB:HGGOF) ("HighGold" or the "Company") is pleased to report the start-up of the 2020 winter drill program (the "Program") on its three gold properties located in the Timmins gold camp, Ontario. The Program plans for 5,000 meters of diamond drilling utilizing two drill rigs on the Company's Munro-Croesus, Golden Perimeter and Golden Mile properties.

The Program will be targeting: 1) known zones of high-grade gold mineralization; 2) areas of surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies; 3) flexures along major regional structural breaks which are known to host gold within the greater Timmins gold camp; and 4) potential intrusive-related gold prospects.

Particular emphasis will be given to the Munro-Croesus property and its historically mined, high-grade gold mineralization. Past diamond drilling by the previous owners in 2011 intersected 18.79 g/t Au over 4.1 meters in the hanging wall to the mined Croesus Vein and recent geological interpretative work by HighGold indicates there may be an opportunity to identify unmined portions of the historic Croesus Vein within close proximity of surface. The Company also plans to drill test other gold bearing quartz vein systems mapped on the Munro-Croesus property as it develops a property-scale exploration model. The majority of these vein systems have had no prior drilling.
