Capella Obtains Euromines Membership and Provides Hessjøgruva Drill Permitting Update

VANCOUVER, BC, April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Capella Minerals Ltd (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF) (FRA: N7D2) ("Capella" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that its application for Corporate membership in Euromines was accepted at the Euromines General Assembly held in Brussels last week. Euromines is the recognized representative of the European metals and minerals mining industry, with the associations main objective being to promote the industry and to maintain its relations with European institutions at all levels. Capella looks forward to working together with Euromines and its partners as it works towards the common goal of securing sustainable and verifiable new supplies of critical metals within Europe.

Separately, the Company is pleased to advise that permitting for a late-Q2 2023 diamond drill program at the advanced exploration-stage Hessjøgruva copper-cobalt-zinc project in central Norway is well advanced. Initial planning is based on the completion of 4,000m / 8 holes of infill and step-out drilling on the high-grade Hessjøgruva Lens A deposit, which was partially tested as part of the 12,035m / 67 holes of historical diamond drilling completed at Hessjøgruva in the 1970´s (see Canadian National Instrument 43-101 or "NI 43-101" compliant technical report filed on SEDAR on September 7, 2022; www.sedar.com). The planned summer drilling is expected to assist with the definition of further work required to complete a maiden NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for Hessjøgruva, in addition to providing fresh core for metallurgical testwork and baseline data for initial development studies.

Eric Roth, Capella´s President and CEO commented: ¨We are very pleased to be announcing our incorporation in to the Euromines community. Euromines represents an important interface between a broad spectrum of mining companies - from explorers/developers to major mining companies such as Anglo American and Rio Tinto - with both EU policy and communities. At our Hessjøgruva project in central Norway, we are looking forward to be able to continue moving the project along the path towards a maiden NI 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate and initial development-related studies and permitting."
