Monroe Project Update

Vancouver, British Columbia — Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSX.V — HWY)

Highway 50 Gold Corp. (the “Company”) completed three drill holes at the Monroe project located in southeastern British Columbia. The drill holes were located to test for extensions of the lead-zinc mineralization encountered in drill hole HWY-16-1 stratigraphically located at the base of the Sullivan Mine sequence.

All three drill holes encountered strata-controlled lead-zinc mineralization at the same stratigraphic interval as drill hole HWY-16-01. To date, the strongest mineralization occurs in HWY-16-01, with the distribution of mineralization in the drill holes giving management a clear vector as to the suspected centre of the lead-zinc system. Drill hole HWY-16-02 was re-entered but was not completed to the projected target depth due to significant downhole difficulties. At this point, the size of the lead-zinc footprint is roughly 800m x 400m and remains open in two directions. The mineralized zone drilled to date may represent the distal expression of a significant lead-zinc deposit.

The Company intends to continue drilling at Monroe, weather permitting. The next drill hole, HWY-18-07, is aimed to intersect a pierce-point approximately 500 metres southeast of the bottom of HWY-16-01. The Company has an option to earn a 50% interest in the Monroe property by spending annual optional exploration expenditures totalling $3,000,000 by May 2021. The Company has spent over $1,000,000 on the project to date.
