Blackwolf Stakes the Mineral Hill Gold-Silver Property, Golden Triangle, Alaska

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2022 / Blackwolf Copper and Gold ("Blackwolf", or the "Company") (TSXV:BWCG)(OTC PINK:BWCGF) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Mineral Hill Property through staking, its fourth claim group in the area, located northwest of the towns of Stewart, BC and Hyder, AK on the Alaskan side of the Golden Triangle. The Property is contiguous with the Company's high-grade Cantoo vein targets to the north and Ascot's Premier Gold Project across the international boundary to the east, that is currently in development. The Mineral Hill Property hosts multiple gold, silver and polymetallic prospects historically explored by trenches and underground drifting. A total of 60 U.S. Federal Lode and four state of Alaska Mineral claims were staked by Blackwolf in May, 2022.

"With the staking of Mineral Hill, Blackwolf now has a five-kilometer-long trend of high-grade gold-silver prospects located adjacent to a mine currently in development, that have never been drilled or explored with modern methods and deposit models," said Rob McLeod, President and CEO of Blackwolf. "We look forward to evaluating and advancing multiple prospects on these new claims as well as drilling the adjacent Cantoo prospect during the 2022 season."

MINERAL HILL PROPERTY
Despite significant exploration activity in Canada, virtually no modern exploration has been performed in the Cantoo-Mineral Hill area since the 1930's. Bridge washouts in the early 1960s limited road access to the Properties. Blackwolf's technical team has significant experience exploring in the Golden Triangle.

Mineral Hill is underlain primarily by earliest Jurassic Hazelton volcanic rocks and associated intrusives, including Premier Porphyry. Mineralization includes multiple phases of quartz and sulphide veining associated with strong hydrothermal alteration. At the ‘Top' Prospect, 18 representative and grab samples were collected in 1995 from historic trenches by US Department of Mines geologists. Samples range from trace to 48.03 g/t Au and trace to 100.8 g/t Ag, averaging 5.97 g/t Au and 23.0 g/t Ag. Ten samples assayed over 1.0 g/t Au, averaging 10.53 g/t Au and 39.7 g/t Ag. Individual samples include 48.03 g/t Au and 41.6 g/t Ag, 14.67 g/t Au and 100.8 g/t Ag and 19.75 g/t Au and 84.34 g/t Ag.

The Top Prospect is located approximately three kilometers south of the large, outcropping gold-silver veins and breccias on the Company's Cantoo Property (see Blackwolf's Press Release, Feb 23^rd, 2022). Multiple historic prospects and adits occur between the Top and Cantoo targets and include anomalous copper values (chip samples include 1.1m chip at 0.17% Cu, 0.2m chip at 0.51% Cu) and gold-silver assays (1.3m chip at 2.43 g/t Au, 72.0 g/t Ag). Additionally, there is significant alluvial placer gold occurrences on the east and west side of the Cantoo and Mineral Hill Properties.

The rock samples discussed on the Mineral Hill Property are considered historic in nature and have not been verified by the Qualified Person.

THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Blackwolf's Hyder Properties are located in the Golden Triangle, a regional mineral belt in Northwest British Columbia and Southeast Alaska. Significant mines and deposits in the area include: Brucejack, Premier, Big Missouri, Scottie Gold, Red Mountain, Galore Creek, KSM, Eskay Creek, Porter and Torbrit, and new discoveries by Goliath Resources and Eskay Mining. The region, centered around the towns of Stewart, BC and Hyder, Alaska, has world-class metal endowment. Set in the Stikinia Paleozoic-Mesozoic island arc terrane, the stratigraphy of the area is dominated by Triassic to Jurassic rocks of the Stuhini and Hazelton Groups, respectively. Porphyry, VMS, and other intrusion-related deposits in the area are dominantly hosted in the Jurassic Hazelton Group strata associated with coeval intrusions, with commonly overprinting Eocene epithermal-style vein-dominated mineralization.

HYDER PROPERTIES
Acquired through staking in 2021 and 2022, Blackwolf has a 100% interest in its Hyder properties which are comprised of four claim groups (Texas Creek, Cantoo, Mineral Hill and Casey), totaling 4,360 hectares across 534 U.S. Federal Mining claims and four State of Alaska Mining claims. These properties are located between 10 to 20 kilometers northwest of Hyder, six kilometers south of the past-producing Granduc Copper Mine, 10 kilometers south of the past-producing Scottie Copper Mine and due west of the past-producing Premier Gold Mine, currently in redevelopment by Ascot Resources. The claims are underlain by regionally prospective Lower Hazelton volcanics and coeval Texas Creek polyphase intrusives. Very limited modern exploration has been performed in the area, with virtually none in the last 25 years.
