Vancouver, November 2, 2023 - Precipitate Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Precipitate") (TSXV:PRG), (OTC:PREIF) is pleased to announce that Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") has provided an exploration update including the status of the current diamond drilling program and the delineation of a new target area within Precipitate's 100% owned Pueblo Grande Project, located immediately adjacent to Barrick's Pueblo Viejo gold mine in the Dominican Republic. Barrick's work is part of an earn-in agreement whereby Barrick has the right to earn a 70% interest in Precipitate's Pueblo Grande Project.

Barrick's Phase Two Drill Program Update

  • Drilling is in progress on three porphyry and epithermal targets within the Lithocap Zone (now being called Pueblo Grande Norte), immediately adjacent to Barrick's Pueblo Viejo mining pits;

  • Two holes for more than 800 metres have been completed to date;

  • Barrick expects to complete up to 3,000m of diamond drilling in up to 10 holes in this second phase of drilling;

  • Drilling is expected to be completed by the end of November 2023

New Target Delineation and Ongoing Exploration

  • A new area of interest called Pueblo Grande Sur is emerging to the southeast of Barrick's Pueblo Viejo mining concessions;

  • Within Pueblo Grande Sur, Barrick has conducted initial phases of field mapping, soil sampling and ground geophysics;

  • Work to date is delineating drill-worthy targets in this emerging area of the project, with additional detailed groundwork anticipated in the months ahead;

  • An initial phase of drilling within Pueblo Grande Sur is expected to commence during H1 2024

See accompanying property map figure for location details.

Jeffrey Wilson, Precipitate's President and CEO stated, "We are pleased to report that Barrick's drill program within the Lithocap Zone (now being called Pueblo Grande Norte) is progressing as planned with multiple targets being systematically tested in this ongoing drill campaign. We look forward to results from this program as assay results become available. In the meantime, we are equally pleased to see Barrick's ongoing property-wide exploration efforts systematically evaluating, identifying and exploring prospective new areas within Pueblo Grande's extensive property package. The emergence of the Pueblo Grande Sur area, east of Barrick's Pueblo Viejo Mine site speaks to Barrick's commitment to apply its regional knowledge and technical expertise to delineate prospective new target areas for ongoing exploration and possible future drill testing within Precipitate's Pueblo Grande project. We look forward to updates and results as Barrick's exploration work progresses."
