Marathon Gold Corporation (“Marathon” or the “Corporation”; TSX:
MOZ) provides details of its 2023 annual general and special
meeting of shareholders (the “AGM”) to be held at Signal Hill
Campus in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador at 4:00 p.m. NDT
(2:30 p.m. EST) on June 7, 2023. The AGM will be held in person,
and by way of simultaneous webcast.
Mr. George Faught, Chairperson of the Board of
Directors of Marathon, has decided not to run for re-election at
the AGM so that his position on the Board is available to a new
director whose election would result in the Corporation satisfying
its gender diversity target of 30%. The remaining current directors
on the Board, being Douglas Bache, Cathy Bennett, Jim Gowans,
Julian Kemp, Peter MacPhail, Matt Manson and Janice Stairs, have
all agreed to stand for re-election. Mr. Faught was first appointed
to the Board of Directors in 2010 and has served as its Chairperson
since 2011. It is currently proposed that Mr. Peter MacPhail would
be appointed the new independent Chairperson of the Board, subject
to his re-election at the AGM and subsequent approval by the
Board.
Marathon is pleased to announce that Ms. Teodora
Dechev has been nominated by the Corporation to stand for election
as a director at the AGM. Ms. Dechev has over 25 years experience
in capital markets, corporate finance, and the mining sector. Since
2009 she has served as President, CEO and Director of Mundoro
Capital Inc. (V:MUN), a public mineral exploration company
headquartered in Vancouver, BC. Prior to Mundoro, Ms. Dechev was
employed in several investment banking roles with Desjardins
Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets, and National Bank Financial,
advising resource companies on IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and
financings. Ms. Dechev has an MBA from the Schulich School of
Business, at York University in Canada, a Bachelor of Applied
Science and Engineering in Geological & Mineral Engineering
from the University of Toronto and is a licensed Professional
Engineer in both British Columbia and Ontario.
Matt Manson, President and CEO, commented: “On
behalf of the Board of Directors of Marathon, I would like to thank
George Faught for his long and dedicated service to Marathon.
Beginning with his appointment to the board in 2010, George has
been instrumental in the growth of the Corporation from the
earliest days of exploration at the Valentine Gold Project through
to the commencement of mine construction last year. During this
time Marathon has benefited from his wisdom, leadership and
limitless energy. We wish him well in his future endeavours. We
also look forward to welcoming Teo Dechev to the board. Teo will
bring to Marathon a broad range of experiences in both her current
work in resource property acquisition and exploration, and her
background in the capital and corporate finance markets. We believe
she will make valuable contributions to Marathon as we move forward
with Newfoundland and Labrador’s, and Atlantic Canada’s, largest
gold mining project.”
About Marathon

company advancing its 100%-owned Valentine Gold Project located in
the central region of Newfoundland and Labrador, one of the top
mining jurisdictions in the world. The Project comprises a
series of five mineralized deposits along a 32-kilometre system. A
December 2022 Updated Feasibility Study outlined an open pit mining
and conventional milling operation producing 195,000 ounces of gold
a year for 12 years within a 14.3-year mine life. The Project was
released from federal and provincial environmental assessment in
2022 and construction commenced in October 2022. The Project has
estimated Proven Mineral Reserves of 1.43 Moz (23.36 Mt at 1.89
g/t) and Probable Mineral Reserves of 1.27 Moz (28.22 Mt at 1.40
g/t). Total Measured Mineral Resources (inclusive of the Mineral

Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Information
Certain information contained in this news
release, constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning
of Canadian securities laws (“forward-looking statements”). All
statements in this news release, other than statements of
historical fact, which address events, results, outcomes or
developments that Marathon expects to occur are forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements include statements that are
predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or
conditions, or include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”,
“plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “considers”, “intends”,
“targets”, or negative versions thereof and other similar
expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “may”, “will”,
“should”, “would” and “could”. We provide forward-looking
statements for the purpose of conveying information about our
current expectations and plans relating to the future, and readers
are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other
purposes. More particularly and without restriction, this news
release contains forward-looking statements and information about
the Updated Feasibility Study and the results therefrom (including
IRR, NPV5%, Capex, FCF, AISC and other financial metrics and
economic analysis), the realization of mineral reserve and mineral
resource estimates, the future financial or operating performance
of the Company and the Project, capital and operating costs, the
ability of the Company to obtain all government approvals, permits
and third-party consents in connection with the Company’s
exploration, development and operating activities, the potential
impact of COVID-19 on the Company, the Company’s ability to
successfully advance the Project and anticipated benefits thereof,
economic analyses for the Valentine Gold Project, processing and
recovery estimates and strategies, future exploration and mine
plans, objectives and expectations and corporate planning of
Marathon, future environmental impact statements and the timetable
for completion and content thereof and statements as to
management's expectations with respect to, among other things, the
matters and activities contemplated in this news release.
Forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and accordingly,
actual results and future events could differ materially from those
expressed or implied in such statements. You are hence cautioned
not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. In
respect of the forward-looking statements concerning the
interpretation of exploration results and the impact on the
Project’s mineral resource estimate, the Company has provided such
statements in reliance on certain assumptions it believes are
reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the continuity
of mineralization between drill holes. A mineral resource that is
classified as “inferred” or “indicated” has a great amount of
uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility.
It cannot be assumed that any or part of an “inferred mineral
resource” or an “indicated mineral resource” will ever be upgraded
to a higher category of mineral resource. Investors are cautioned
not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these
categories will ever be converted into proven and probable mineral
reserves.
By its nature, this information is subject to
inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific
and which give rise to the possibility that expectations,
forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove
to be accurate, that assumptions may not be correct and that
objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved.
Factors that could cause future results or events to differ
materially from current expectations expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties relating
to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and
continuity of mineral deposits and conclusions of economic
evaluations; uncertainty as to estimation of mineral resources;
inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with
respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral
resources); the potential for delays or changes in plans in
exploration or development projects or capital expenditures, or the
completion of feasibility studies due to changes in logistical,
technical or other factors; the possibility that future
exploration, development, construction or mining results will not
be consistent with the Company’s expectations; risks related to the
ability of the current exploration program to identify and expand
mineral resources; risks relating to possible variations in grade,
planned mining dilution and ore loss, or recovery rates and changes
in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; operational
mining and development risks, including risks related to accidents,
equipment breakdowns, labour disputes (including work stoppages and
strikes) or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions
in exploration and development; risks related to the inherent
uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for
unexpected costs and expenses; risks related to commodity and power
prices, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and changes in interest
rates; the uncertainty of profitability based upon the cyclical
nature of the mining industry; risks related to failure to obtain
adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or
delays in obtaining governmental or other stakeholder approvals or
in the completion of development or construction activities; risks
related to environmental regulation and liability, government
regulation and permitting; risks relating to the Company’s ability
to attract and retain skilled staff; risks relating to the timing
of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for
continued operations and future development projects; political and
regulatory risks associated with mining and exploration; risks
relating to the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
Company and the mining industry; changes in general economic
conditions or conditions in the financial markets; and other risks
described in Marathon’s documents filed with Canadian securities
regulatory authorities, including the Annual Information Form for
the year ended December 31, 2022.
You can find further information with respect to
these and other risks in Marathon’s Annual Information Form for the
year ended December 31, 2022 and other filings made with Canadian
securities regulatory authorities available at www.sedar.com. Other
than as specifically required by law, Marathon undertakes no

as a result of new information, future events or results
otherwise.
