THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DIS- SEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

May 27, 2020 – Vancouver, British Columbia – VanGold Mining Corp (the “Company” or “VanGold”) (TSXV:VGLD) announces the adoption of a warrant acceleration bonus program (the “Bonus Program”) for its outstanding share purchase warrants granted in connection with the Company’s 2019 non-brokered private placement financing (the “2019 Financing”), subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).

Under the 2019 Financing, the Company successfully raised a total of $1,290,475 through the issuance of 25,809,500 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit, of which an aggregate of 7,800,000 Units or 30.22% of the 2019 Financing were purchased by directors and officers of the Company (the “Insiders”). Each Unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 24 months at an exercise price of $0.10.

VanGold has determined it is in the best interests of the Company to raise additional capital to fund the exploration and development of the Company’s El Pinguico silver and gold project near Guanajuato, Mex- ico, and for general corporate and working capital purposes through accelerating the exercise of the Warrants issued under the 2019 Financing by offering the holders thereof a bonus of 1/10 of one common share (each whole share a “Bonus Share”) for each one Warrant exercised early, being the equivalent of one whole Bonus Share for every 10 Warrants exercised. In order to participate in the Bonus Program, eligible holders of War- rants must exercise their Warrants by no later than June 26, 2020 (the “Bonus Deadline”).

As of the date hereof, there are a total of 25,809,500 Warrants outstanding, of which 7,800,000 Warrants or 30.22% are held by Insiders of the Company. However, TSXV policies limit the number of Warrants held by Insiders eligible to participate in the Bonus Program to a maximum of 10% of eligible Warrants thereby resulting in a total of 20,010,555 Warrants (the “Eligible Warrants”) eligible to participate in the Bonus Program.

If all of the Eligible Warrants are exercised on or before the Bonus Deadline, a maximum of 2,001,055 Bonus Shares will be issued under the Bonus Program. Any Warrants not exercised by the Bonus Deadline will remain in full force and effect according to their terms for the remainder of their original 24 month term.

You may contact Richard Silas, Director of VanGold Mining Corp., at (604) 448-2297 with any questions regarding how to exercise your Warrants under the Bonus Program.

The El Pinguico Project:

El Pinguico is a high-grade silver and gold deposit that was mined from the early 1890s until 1913. The mining was done exclusively from the El Pinguico and El Carmen veins, which are thought to be splays off the Mother Vein, or ‘Veta Madre.’

The Veta Madre is associated with a mega fault that outcrops for 25 kilometres and is the most important source of precious metal mineralization in the region. The Veta Madre may cross VanGold’s property at depth, underneath the high grade El Pinguico and El Carmen veins. Very limited drilling has been done on the property and no drilling has attempted to encounter the Veta Madre at depth.

Historic stockpiles of mineralized material exist on surface and underground at El Pinguico which may potentially provide feed to one of several operational mills in the Guanajuato area.

Hernan Dorado, a director of VanGold and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has approved the scientific and technical information con- tained in this news release.
