from Sampling Campaign on High Grade Historic Mines

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2024) - North Peak Resources
Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (the "Company" or "North Peak") announces that a drill has
been mobilized to Prospect Mountain North area within the Prospect Mountain
Property (the "Property") in Eureka, Nevada and drilling will commence this
week.
In preparation for the drill program, the Company completed a further rock
chip sampling campaign in April 2024 that focused on the infrastructure of
the historical mines that exist in the area.
Highlights of that rock chip sampling campaign include:
* Industry Tunnel, where the drilling will begin, recorded a chip sample
of 20.5 g/t (0.66 oz/t) Au.
* Dead Broke Mine - yielded high silver values up to 911 g/t (29.2 oz/t)
Ag, with up to 4.9 g/t (0.16 oz/t) Au.
* Dead Broke grab dump samples ranged up to 7 g/t (0.22 oz/t) Au and 265
g/t (8.5 oz/t) Ag.
* Duke Mine - the area around which had high silver values up to 655 g/t
(21 oz/t) Ag, with up to 4.4 g/t (0.14 oz/t) Au.
* Madrid Mine - a small working, but had up to 2.5 g/t (0.08 oz/t) Au, and
158 g/t (5.1 oz/t) Ag.
"Permits arrived in time to take advantage of the daylight in June and July
and the drill should be turning by this weekend," Brian Hinchcliffe,
Chairman & CEO commented. "There are a number of exciting holes targeting
the historic high-grade mines in Prospect Mountain North and will be
outlined in more detail in an upcoming press release."
Samples were primarily of gossan (oxidized sulfide ore) chipped from the
walls of old stopes accessed by the historic tunnels (see Figure 1 and 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 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 sampling data contained
within the press releases of 18 October 2023 and 31 January 2024, and
geophysics, to help continue to 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 press 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 press
release includes certain "forward-looking statements" under applicable
Canadian securities legislation. Forward-Looking statements include, but are
not limited to, timing and completion of any drilling and work programs on
the Property, estimates of mineralization from drilling, sampling and
geophysical surveys, geological information projected from drilling and
sampling results and the potential quantities and grades of the target
zones, the potential for minerals and/or mineral resources and reserves, and
statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs, and current
expectations of the Property and the Company that may be described herein.
Forward-Looking statements consist of statements that are not purely
historical, including any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations
