Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - April 3, 2019) - Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G)
("Maple Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that a third drill rig has arrived at site and has been
mobilized to an area located about 1km south of the Porphyry Zone (the "Exploration Target"). Very limited historical
drilling of this target area returned several high-grade intercepts, including up to 17.5 g/t Au over 1.5m (downhole length). The
Exploration Target has a very similar magnetic response to the Porphyry Zone (see Fig. 1) and is also very similar geologically
with mixed syenite and basalt, i.e. containing contact style mineralisation. The nearest historical hole is found 400m to the east,
and there is no further drilling for approximately 1500m to the west or northwest. Two initial drill-holes will be drilled in this
area to test for volume potential of mineralisation.
Maple Gold's VP, Exploration, Fred Speidel, commented: "Following up on isolated higher-grade samples in the NW Gap
Area during last year's campaign resulted in the definition of the new Nika Zone. There is very limited drilling in the Exploration
Target area, but we have the right ingredients there to define new gold zones and are excited to take a couple discovery shots with
our 2019 drilling."

The paired high/low response in Fig. 1 reflects multiple, mainly magnetically depressed, syenitic bodies intruded into magnetic
basalts. There is a similarity of magnetic response in the Exploration Target area to that of the Porphyry Zone further north, and
this similarity also holds true geologically. The green dots in Fig. 1 represent drill collars for the new drill-holes set to
commence at the Exploration Target.
