Mr. Victor (Vic) French reports:

BAY ROBERTS, NEWFOUNDLAND / December 7, 2021 / PUDDLE POND RESOURCES INC. (the “Company” or “Puddle Pond”) is pleased to provide the following update on its summer exploration activities at the Handcamp Property, owned 100% with no underlying royalties. The Handcamp Property located in central Newfoundland, is 1 km east of the town of South Brook (a deep-water port) with the Trans-Canada Highway crossing the southernmost portion of the property (Figure 1). The 9,000-hectare Handcamp Property covers much of the northern part of the Buchans-Roberts Arm belt of submarine volcanic rocks that is well known as the host of several past-producing mining operations including the world famous Buchans Mine and the nearby Gullbridge Deposit. In addition, the property also envelops a long (>20 km), continuous section of the “Red Indian Line”, a major, regional lithotectonic boundary and transcrustal fault system.

A twelve-hole diamond drilling program in 2010 (Pickett, 2011) returned highlight gold values of 6.28 g/t Au over 1.9 m within a broader interval of 1.20 g/t Au over 20.9 m in DDH-004; 2.05 g/t Au over 3.0 m within a broader interval of 1.16 g/t Au over 22.0 m in DDH-005; and 8.52 g/t Au over 0.8 m within a broader interval of 1.02 g/t over 17.8 m in DDH- 012. True width was estimated at 75% and full QA/QC protocols were instituted. Eleven of the 12 holes were drilled in three fences spaced approximately 250 metres apart located near the Main Handcamp Prospect (Figure 1), while DDH-012 was drilled t approximately 550 metres to the southwest of hole DDH-004 to test the location of a 31 g/t Au float sample.

Puddle Pond’s focus this summer was to determine the source of an historical high-grade, surface sample (138.13 g/t Au; Lannon, 2005) and better define the extent of gold mineralization outlined in the 2010 drilling campaign through a combination of detailed prospecting, surface mapping, and follow-up trenching/channel sampling. Highlights of the 2021 summer exploration program are listed in Tables 1 through 3 and include:

·  8.0 metres of 5.22 g/t AuEq (4.86 g/t Au & 27.57 g/t Ag) in channel #3

·  9.0 metres of 2.92 g/t AuEq (2.64 g/t Au & 21.66 g/t Ag) in channel #1

·  4.2 metres of 4.89 g/t AuEq (4.22 g/t Au & 53.38 g/t Ag) in channel #4S

·  Surface grab samples of up to 15.27 g/t Au and 49.8 g/t Ag

On an outcrop scale, the gold mineralization at Handcamp is hosted in a combination of (a) highly deformed quartz veins/zones of silica flooding that exhibit evidence of both ductile and brittle deformation, and (b) intensely foliated and quartz-sericite-pyrite altered volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks that display evidence of shearing and the related formation of tight to isoclinal folds. At a larger scale, lithostructural analysis indicates the presence of a district-scale shear zone (>15 km in length) comprised of an anastomosing system of faults that exhibit both strike slip and dip slip components of movement.

Victor French, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and President & COO for Puddle Pond, is responsible for the technical information contained in this News Release.
