Nubian Engages Geological Team To Re-evaluate Silver-zinc Resources At The Esquilache Project, Peru

TORONTO, April 19, 2022 - Nubian Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NBR) (OTCQB: NBRFF) ("Nubian" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Steven Park as Project Manager for South America and Walter Cuba as Senior Geologist. The Company has also retained the services of two independent geological consulting groups, Atticus Geoscience Consulting S.A.C. and Caracle Creek Chile SpA for mineral resource modelling and to work with the new geological team to evaluate silver and zinc resources at Nubian's 100% owned Esquilache Silver Project ("Esquilache" or the "Project") located in southern Peru.

Steven Park is a professional exploration geologist and Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"), with over 35 years of mineral exploration experience focused on greenfield and brownfield precious metals exploration in South America, primarily in Peru. Mr. Cuba has substantial geological field experience in Peru and brings a wealth of knowledge and continuity to the Project having previously served as Project Manager on Esquilache when it was under development by Vena Resources Inc. ("Vena") in 2013.

Esquilache last saw production in 1962, when Peruvian silver producer Hochschilds Mining plc reported mining and processing 1,000,000 tonnes of ore at 116.57 g/t Ag, 3.2% Pb, 4.8% Zn, 0.3% Cu over a 12-year period from 1950 to 1962. The new geological team will review previously compiled Esquilache Ag-Zn resource estimations with the aim to support a small (up to 500 tonnes per day) mining operation from both surface and underground workings. Esquilache has been on hold since 2020, due primarily to low commodity prices and COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Nubian now aims to take advantage of favourable silver and base metal prices by moving the project towards a feasibility evaluation, following resource modelling, metallurgical data review, and updates to the Project's past engineering plans and environmental studies.

Esquilache covers the mineralized core of a large caldera structure that hosts a system of polymetallic, low- to intermediate-sulphidation, epithermal to mesothermal veins containing silver, lead, zinc, copper and significant gold grades. An initial NI 43-101 technical report was prepared for Vena in 2011 by Coffey Mining Consultants based on data from trenching and two core drilling programs that identified more than 200 mineralized veins and breccia showings across the Esquilache concession holdings of 1,600 hectares. A more recent NI 43-101 technical report titled "Esquilache Silver-Lead-Zinc Project, Puno State, Peru" prepared by author Neal Reynolds, PhD of CSA Global Canada Geosciences Ltd. dated effective April 1, 2018 (the "2018 Technical Report") was prepared following a diamond drilling campaign and surface sampling from trenches. The 2018 Technical Report (filed on the Company's SEDAR profile) recommended that the Company move forward with the Project's exploration and development.

Esquilache is located in the Cordillera Occidental of southern Peru and Bolivia, on trend with major silver, gold, and copper projects including Las Bambas, Tintaya, San Gabriel in Peru and Eloro's Potosi silver deposit in Bolivia. Esquilache is located only 32 km (20 miles) east of Buenaventura's San Gabriel Mine project that recently announced the receipt of all required permits to begin mine construction, with projected production of between 120K to 150K ounces of gold per year over a 10+ year mine life.

The Company also announces the grant of a combined 300,000 options to purchase the Company's common shares at 15 cents to Mr. Park and Mr. Cuba.
