Puddle Pond Resources Reports that its Inaugural Drilling Program has Commenced at The Handcamp Project in Central Newfoundland

Mr. Victor (Vic) French, President & COO, reports:

BAY ROBERTS, NEWFOUNDLAND / May 5^th, 2022 / PUDDLE POND RESOURCES INC. (the “Company” or “Puddle Pond”) is pleased to report the commencement of drilling at its 100%-owned Handcamp Project in central Newfoundland, where a highly successful program of prospecting and trenching in 2021 identified a significant length of gold-mineralized shear zone in the central part of the project area. In addition to the discovery of numerous new surface occurrences of gold mineralization at Handcamp, the two principal trenches returned “ore-grade” gold mineralization over “mineable widths” (see News Release of December 7^th, 2021):

Trench #1, channel: 2.64 g/t Au & 21.66 g/t Ag (2.92 g/t AuEq) over 9.0 metres (~30 feet)

Trench #3, channel: 4.86 g/t Au & 27.57 g/t Ag (5.22 g/t AuEq) over 8.0 metres (~26 feet)

The scout drilling program, totalling 600-800 metres in eight holes, has two main goals:

1. To test the continuity of shear-zone hosted gold mineralization in the shallow subsurface (at depths of less than 100 metres) over a strike length of approximately 300 metres.
2. To generate lithological and structural data that will aid in: (a) the determination of the fundamental controls of the distribution of gold mineralization and its accompanying alteration; and (b) the characterization of the nature of the host shear zone.

Mr. French commented: “Since our acquisition of the original Handcamp claims in May of 2021 we have been single-minded in our commitment to show the potential of the area as a host for orogenic-style gold mineralization. The results of last year’s program of trenching and channel sampling were highly encouraging in this regard, and we certainly hope that this inaugural program of drilling will further add to the already compelling evidence that such gold mineralization is widespread in a near-surface setting.”
