V.RLYG

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2024) - Riley Gold Corp. (TSXV: RLYG) (OTCQB: RLYGF) ("Riley Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce Mr. Paul Dobak has joined Riley Gold as a member of the technical advisory committee relative to its Nevada-based exploration including the Company's Pipeline West Clipper Gold Project ("PWC").

Riley Gold recently announced a USD$20M earn-in agreement on the PWC project with Kinross Gold Corporation. PWC constitutes a prospective exploration property for Carlin-type, disseminated and replacement gold deposits within a land package totaling approximately 24.7 square kms of unpatented mining claims and patented fee lands adjoining Nevada Gold Mines (a joint venture amongst Barrick Gold Corp. and Newmont Mining). PWC is situated along the Cortez Structural Zone of the exceptionally productive Cortez Trend within the Battle Mountain – Eureka Trend in north central Nevada (Figure 1).

Todd Hilditch, CEO, commented, "I am extremely pleased to welcome Paul to Riley Gold. The opportunity to learn from, and draw on, his wealth of experience in the mineral exploration field will be invaluable, particularly within the Cortez Trend, where the Kinross/Riley Gold PWC Project is located. Mr. Dobak has direct practical experience in Nevada's style of mineralization and deposits having worked with Barrick Gold Corporation in positions of increasing responsibility for 25 years and prior to that for Newmont Corporation as a Senior Geologist at the Carlin Mine."

About Paul Dobak:

Paul's experience with Barrick Gold includes 15 years as Chief Geologist – North America. In this very senior role, Paul supported the development of district exploration programs at Goldstrike, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Bald Mountain NV and Donlin Creek AK resulting in significant resource/reserve growth and the discovery of the Goldrush and Fourmile gold mines. From 2000-2005, Mr. Dobak was Chief Geologist – U.S.A Exploration where he oversaw the exploration and development of the Dee and Rossi projects resulting in the discovery of the Arturo gold mine and development of the Storm underground gold mine. He supported joint venture efforts at Round Mountain NV and district exploration efforts at Ruby Hill/Eureka NV after the Homestake acquisition. As Senior Geologist from 1995-2000, he lead and executed generative exploration programs for Carlin-type gold deposits in the Eastern Great Basin NV and volcanic-hosted deposits in the Western Great Basin NV. The programs resulted in the generation of grassroots and advanced stage gold projects including the acquisition of the Dee and Rossi properties on the Carlin Trend NV.

Prior to Barrick, Paul worked with Newmont for 8 years as a Senior Geologist in charge of exploration/development projects within the Lynn district of the Carlin-trend, including discovering the Northwest Extension at the Lantern deposit and completed the development work to bring Lantern to a production decision in 1995. Paul participated in the evaluation of the Yanacocha district in Peru and the Gaby Cu-Au porphyry in Ecuador.

Mr. Dobak is a senior-level geologist with an extensive range of technical and managerial experience from greenfields to advanced-stage exploration, acquisition, development, and production-related geological programs. He is a graduate of Colorado State University with a Master of Science Degree (Economic Geology) and completed his bachelor's degree at the University of California - Santa Barbara in geology.
