Palamina Provides Update and Announces Resignation of Director

Palamina Corp. (PA:TSXV) reports that all operating activities have been halted in keeping with the government of Peru’s travel and work restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The government shutdown commenced on April 1, 2020.  All staff and contractors are safe and secure. Palamina maintains a minimal staff shared by the company and its operating partner, Winshear Gold Corp., to maintain all projects in good standing. Management will conduct a review towards the end of June to decide when to resume exploration activities.

Palamina also announces the resignation of Darin Wagner from the Board of Directors of the Company for personal reasons. The Company wishes to sincerely thank Mr. Wagner for his contribution and services as a director and wishes him all the best in his future.

Andrew Thomson, President of Palamina remarked, "Darin has been critical to Palamina’s success in the last several years and he will be missed. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors."

Palamina secured a Declaración de Impacto Ambiental (“DIA”) from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines for its flagship Coasa Gold Project in December of 2019. The Company is awaiting the Authorization to Initiate Exploration Activities (“AIEA”) which is required to commence initial drill testing of the Coasa gold system. Palamina is utilizing the shutdown to further refine drill targets and conduct a review of all its existing projects. Palamina is one of a select few Peruvian pure gold exploration companies to have received its DIA.
