VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2020 / VanGold Mining Corp (the "Company" or "VanGold") (TSXV:VGLD) is pleased to announce it has closed the second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement of units ("Units") at a price of $0.155 per Unit announced on July 21 and 22, 2020. (the "Financing"). The Company has issued 1,797,740 Units for gross proceeds of $278,650 with each Unit consisting of one common share of the Company and one half (1/2) of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share at a price of $0.25 for a period of two years, subject to acceleration in certain events.

In aggregate, the company issued a total of 25,641,902 Units for gross proceeds of $3,974,495.

All securities issued in connection with the second tranche of the Financing are subject to a four month hold period expiring December 12, 2020 and the Company has paid certain finder's fees in cash, shares and/or warrants in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Said VanGold CFO Xavier Wenzel, "The Company now has sufficient funds to comfortably pursue its exploration and development plans at the El Pinguico asset."

Work to clear the El Pinguico shaft and enter into and explore the underground workings of the mine as disclosed in the Company's news release of July 21, 2020 are ongoing. Crews have now installed a large winch and hoist to the Company's El Pinguico shaft head frame. Crew members have reached the mine's 6th level and are continuing to clear a pathway to the 7th (or Sangria) level. Further details on the progress of this work will be forthcoming in future news releases.

The El Pinguico Project:

El Pinguico is a high-grade gold and silver deposit that was mined from the early 1890s until 1913. Toward the end of that period it was mined exclusively by The Pinguico Mines Company of New York City, whose shares traded on the Boston and New York Stock Exchanges. The mining was done principally from the El Pinguico and El Carmen veins, which are thought to be splays off the Mother Vein, or ‘Veta Madre'.

The Veta Madre is associated with a mega fault that outcrops for 25 kilometres and is the most important source of precious metal mineralization in the region. The Veta Madre may cross VanGold's property at depth, underneath the high grade El Pinguico and El Carmen veins. Very limited drilling has been done on the property and no drilling has attempted to encounter the Veta Madre at depth.

Hernan Dorado Smith, a director of VanGold and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
