Highlights include:

Drill hole RDD-258; 5.0m grading 10.11 g/t gold,

Drill hole RDD-254; 17.3m grading 1.01 g/t gold,

Drill hole RDD-260; 33.3m grading 0.67 g/t gold

Vancouver, British Columbia – Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: VLC) (“Velocity” or the “Company”) provides an update on positive drill results from its flagship Rozino gold project located in southeastern Bulgaria (“Rozino”, or the “Project”).  Results from 30 new drill holes include 17 drill holes containing significant gold intersects.  Exploration drilling of areas adjacent to the Prefeasibility Study Rozino design pit (news release NR-20-18, August 31, 2020), plus initial exploration drilling of selected gold-in-soil anomalies located proximal to Rozino have recently been completed.

Table 1: Highlighted significant intercepts at the Rozino project.

The drill intersections disclosed in Table 1 have not yet been included in a resource model and true thickness of mineralization has not yet been determined.  Drill holes are designed to intersect mineralization perpendicular or close to perpendicular.  Drill intersections in Table 1 are calculated using a top-cut of 40 g/t gold, a 0.2 g/t gold trigger, a minimum 0.5 g/t gold composite, and a maximum of 3 metres consecutive waste.  A single 1m sample from RDD-258 reported 49.2 ppm gold and one significant interval was consequently top cut to 40g/t, returning 5m @ 8.27 g/t gold.  Complete lists of consecutive drill intercepts are listed on the Company’s web site.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

The work program is designed and supervised by Stuart A. Mills, BSc, MSc, CGeol, the Company's Vice-President Exploration, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program.  On-site personnel at the Project rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and shipped to ALS Global laboratory in Romania.  Samples used for the results described herein are prepared and analyzed by fire assay using a 30-gram charge in compliance with industry standards at ALS’ Romanian laboratory.  A sample split of the milled material from the Rozino basement-hosted drill program is shipped to ALS’ Irish laboratory for multi-element analysis using an inductively coupled mass spectrometer.  Field duplicate samples, blanks and independent controlled reference material (standards) are added to each batch of samples.  All drill intersections in this news release are calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold trigger, a minimum 0.5 g/t gold composite, and a maximum of 3 metres consecutive waste.
