Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - January 31, 2024) - North Peak Resources
Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (the "Company" or "North Peak") announces results from the
first phase of sampling of surface workings on its Prospect Mountain
property in Eureka, Nevada (the "Property"). As part of a surface mapping
project, some of the dumps, numerous surface shafts, adits and scrapes were
assayed.
Highlights:
* Of the total of 77 rock chip and grab samples, the samples averaged,
2.42 g/t Au, 76.2 g/t Ag, 0.38% Cu, 1.06% Pb, 1.33% Zn.
* The highest-grade gold sample assayed 33.9 g/t Au, 183 g/t Ag, 0.9% Cu,
1.81% Pb, 1.66% Zn from an unnamed surface scrape on a patented claim.
* Twelve samples returned grades > 5 g/t Au, and averaged 10.34 g/t Au,
200.8 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu, 2.96% Pb, 1.30% Zn.
Samples were taken from outcrops and subcrops in old workings where
possible, and from the dumps in front of the workings. (Fig. 1; Table 1
below). While grab samples from dumps are not indicative of in situ grades
and are often the "poor quality" ore left behind by the historical miners,
they give a useful guide to the composition and grade of the near surface
mineralization present on the Property. The samples have so far been taken
from the surface mineralization within the Hamburg Dolomite above the
underground workings of the historic Diamond Mine, as well as nearby smaller
mines, including the Williams Mine, where historic production recorded an
average grade of 3.9 oz Au, 28.56 oz Ag and 1.51 % Lead (Source: The Eureka
Mining District, Nolan 1962).
The Company is using this data to complement and confirm the extensive
historical rock grab database gathered in the 1990's by Homestake over the
Property that comprises a total of 614 samples. The combined databases will
be used in conjunction with the previously reported soil sampling data
contained within the press release of 18 October 2023, and geophysics, to
help determine near surface drill targets on the Property.

Review by Qualified Person, Quality Control and Reports
Mr. Mike Sutton, P.Geo., a director of the Company, is the Qualified Person,
as defined under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects, who reviewed and approved scientific and technical
disclosure in this news release. The Qualified Person has not reviewed the
mineral tenure, nor independently verified the legal status and ownership of
the Property or any underlying property agreements.
All samples referenced herein were prepped by ALS Elko, 1345 Water St, Elko,
Nevada, USA. Gold was assayed at ALS Reno, 4977 Energy Way, Reno, Nevada,
USA. All base metals and silver were assayed by ALS Vancouver, 2103
Dollarton Hwy, North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Gold was assayed by 30g fire
assay analysis with AAS or gravimetric finish (Au-AA23/5 or Au-GRA21). Base
metals and silver were analyzed using four-acid digestion ICP-MS (ME-MS61),
with overlimit assays using Aqua Regia and four-acid digestion with ICP-MS
analysis (*-OG62). All ALS Geochemistry sites operate under a single Global
Geochemistry Quality Manual that complies with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, coupled
within a global LIMS platform. There is no relationship, fiduciary or
otherwise, between ALS and the Company.
All samples were of hand specimen size or larger, and were sealed in North
Peak's onsite facility and shipped directly to the lab; the Company can
guarantee the chain of custody. The Company's QA/QC program includes the
regular insertion of blanks and standards into the sample shipments, as well
as instructions for duplication. Standards and blanks are inserted every 20
samples.
About Prospect Mountain
The Property lies in the Battle Mountain Eureka trend, in an area known as
the Southern Eureka Gold Belt, where three styles of mineralization have
been identified, gold, silver Carlin style mineralization, Carbonate
Replacement gold, silver, lead, zinc mineralization (CRD) and carbonate
hosted Porphyry Related Skarn lead, zinc and gold mineralization associated
with cretaceous intrusions. At the Property, the CRD mineralization is
heavily oxidized to depths of at least 610m (2000ft) below the top of the
ridge line.
A Plan of Operations is in place which covers part of the Property
(totalling 81 acres) and entitles an operator to pursue surface exploration,
underground mining of up to 365,000 tons per annum and certain
infrastructural works. It includes a permit to extract water from a well and
to build water containment facilities.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This news release
includes certain "forward-looking statements" under applicable Canadian
securities legislation. Forward-Looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements with respect to the ability of the parties to
complete the transactions described herein, estimates of mineralization from
drilling, sampling and geophysical surveys, geological information projected
