Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2025) - Gold Hunter Resources Inc. (CSE: HUNT) (OTCQB: HNTRF) (FSE: 6RH) ("Gold Hunter" or the "Company" or "HUNT 2.0") is pleased to provide an update on its Great Northern Project in Newfoundland, where historic mining, near-surface mineralization, and both current and historic resources converge to create an exciting, high-grade exploration story in one of Canada's most dynamic mining districts.

Key Highlights
- +
40% Oversubscribed Financing (March 11th, 2025), reflecting strong investor confidence and enabling the Company to ramp up both exploration and marketing efforts. - Advancement of the Great Northern Project in Newfoundland, now covering an impressive 40-kilometre strike length - comparable to the scale of the Valentine deposit district.
- Uplisting to the OTCQB® Venture Market in the United States, boosting visibility and accessibility for U.S. investors.
- Securing DTC Eligibility, simplifying share clearing and settlement for U.S. shareholders.
- Enhanced Global Marketing and Investor Relations Initiatives, designed to communicate the Company's near-term growth potential, aggressive 2025 exploration plans, and overall vision to a broader audience.
"The Great Northern Project is focused on a distinct orogenic gold system with multiple known resource areas, up to 18 gold mineralized trends, and along a +40 km fault structure. We are excited that our project comprises both current and historic resources, as well as a past-producing mine in conjunction with surface anomalies that have yet to be drilled. All of which point to a larger, more continuous mineralized system akin to the Valentine Lake Gold Deposit.
Historically, exploration at Great Northern was limited in scope and centred near existing roads and power infrastructure, yet these smaller-scale programs still yielded encouraging results. Now, with a more aggressive 2025 plan, we intend to systematically expand beyond those initial targets and unlock the full potential of this extensive structural corridor. The Great Northern is poised for meaningful discovery, which may yield resource growth as we proceed with our next phases of drilling and data-driven exploration."

"Securing an oversubscribed financing so quickly speaks volumes about our shareholders' confidence in both our team and our Newfoundland project. We see a world-class opportunity in Newfoundland, where proven geology, supportive mining communities, and recent mergers and acquisitions have propelled the province into a hotspot for metals exploration. Our 'HUNT 2.0' vision merges data-driven exploration, strategic partnerships, and an experienced technical team to accelerate our efforts in 2025 and beyond. The recent merger agreement (pending shareholder approval) between Calibre (owner of the Valentine deposit) and Equinox Gold (founded by Ross Beaty) underscores ongoing M&A interest in this prolific province, and we intend to remain at the forefront by methodically advancing Great Northern.
Expanding our reach through strategic marketing is also essential for capitalizing on the project's potential. Each of the groups we have engaged has a proven track record, having contributed to successful awareness campaigns for companies such as Calibre Mining Corp. and Goliath Resources Ltd., among others. By leveraging their expertise and targeted strategies, we aim to connect with a wider investor audience, generate additional market awareness, and unlock the full value of our Newfoundland asset."
