"The announcement of the Benjamin Hill Property option agreement is a key milestone in our business plan. The team looks
forward to developing the Property as it contiguous to our Sonora Gold Property in the highly prospective Caborca Gold Belt."

The Property is comprised a mineral concession totalling 400 hectares and lies 130km due north of Hermosillo in Sonora, Mexico. The Property is conveniently located in an area with road and electricity infrastructure. Project supplies and services are available close by in the local area.

The Property lies in the Caborca gold belt which hosts several operating mines, and numerous historical artisanal mines, showings, and workings. The Property is cut by the district scale NNW trending Mojave Fault. Several operating mines including the San Francisco Gold mine, located 10 km north of the property, host gold mineralization that can be linked to the Mojave Fault. Mojave geologists believe this large structural feature controls the distribution of mineralization in the region.

Recent field observations by Mojave geologists indicate the Property contains a series of outcropping mineralized veins and vein-breccia structures recognised for a length of over 3km and reaching up to 70m in width. These structures orient in a north - south direction with steep dips (>70°). The mineralogy consists of primary oxides (specular hematite) and base sulfides (chalcopyrite-galena), as well as secondary oxides (hematite), sulfates and carbonates of copper (chrysocolla, malachite, and turquoise), hydroxides (limonite minerals), and accessory minerals, such as carbonates, manganese minerals, calc-silicates, barite, quartz, epidote, and whitish clays.

Mojave Gold Corp. is looking forward to further exploring this very prospective property.

The company's mandate is to leverage our strategic Mexican land portfolio and highly skilled talent pool into a class leading natural resource company committed to adhering to international operational and environmental standards in mining. Our success will deliver excellent value to all stakeholders including our partner communities, our employees, and investors.

Greg Bronson, P.Geo., has prepared, reviewed, and approved the scientific and technical information in this news release.
