Twenty-three (23) drill holes totaling 1,784.0 metres were completed in less than two weeks of drilling (see Figure 1 & Table 1).
Twenty (20) drill holes intersected high-grade wollastonite zones, confirming excellent continuity and correlation with the thickly mineralized zones intersected by previously reported historical drill holes.
Sixteen (16) drill holes intersected high-grade wollastonite zones right up until the end of the hole, which are all open at depth.
A total of 1,107.5 meters of high-grade wollastonite mineralized core length was intersected, representing approximately 62% of all drilled core length.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 18, 2019 /
VERTICAL EXPLORATION INC. (TSX-V: VERT) (“Vertical” or “the Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has completed a successful diamond drilling
and sampling program on its advanced stage St-Onge-Wollastonite Deposit
located approximately 90 kilometres Northwest of the city of Saguenay,
in St-Onge township, in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region of Quebec,
Canada.
The primary goal of the 2019 drilling program, which
consisted of seven (7) drilling sections (see Figure 1, Sections A-G),
was to establish an additional measured mineral resource of
approximately 5 million tonnes of crude wollastonite. The pit
constrained mineral resources at the St-Onge Wollastonite deposit, as
previously reported in the Company’s August 2, 2018 news release,
comprises an NI 43-101 compliant resources totaling 14 million tonnes at
36.61% Wollastonite in the measured and indicated class using a cut-off
grade of 30% Wollastonite (7.1 million tonnes at 36.20% in measured and
6.9 million tonnes at 37.04% in indicated), and 17.9 million tonnes at
40.25% in the inferred class (rounded numbers). The NI 43-101 Technical
Report was prepared by GoldMinds Geoservices Inc. (‘GMG’).
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2019 DRILLING CAMPAIGN
Twenty-three
(23) drill holes totaling 1,784.0 metres were completed in less than
two weeks of drilling (see Figure 1 & Table 1).
Twenty
(20) drill holes intersected high-grade wollastonite zones, confirming
excellent continuity and correlation with the thickly mineralized zones
intersected by previously reported historical drill holes.
Sixteen
(16) drill holes intersected high-grade wollastonite zones right up
until the end of the hole, which are all open at depth.
A
total of 1,107.5 meters of high-grade wollastonite mineralized core
length was intersected, representing approximately 62% of all drilled
core length.
In total, nine hundred thirteen (913) drill
core samples of approximately 1.5 metres in length, including samples
ranging from less than one 1.0 metre in length and up to a maximum of
2.5 metres in length, were collected for laboratory assaying. Eighty-one
(81) of the 913 drill core samples were quality assurance/quality
control (QA/QC) samples, including mineralized certified samples, blank
samples and duplicate samples.
Peter P. Swistak, President and CEO
of Vertical Exploration, commented: ”I am very pleased with the speed
of completion and overall success of this 2019 drilling program. The
mineral data obtained from the program will now allow the Company to

100% owned Gold Hill property located in the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the Wildhorse River
4 diamond drill holes on two sections totaling 2,087 meters of drilling. Nine hundred and twenty nine (929) drill core samples
This is the first time area has been drilled. The program successfully intersected multiple zones of gold.
A high grade intersection in hole NS18-01 contained 66.4 g/t gold over 0.2 meters (true width unknown)
Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – March 15, 2019) – American Creek Resources Ltd.
(TSXV: AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to report on drilling results
from the late fall exploration program conducted on its 100% owned Gold
Hill property located in the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the
Wildhorse River east of Fort Steele, British Columbia. The preliminary
program included four diamond drill holes on two sections totaling 2,087
meters of drilling. Nine hundred and twenty nine (929) drill core
samples were analyzed.
The management and professionals that
guided the exploration program are pleased and very encouraged by the
results. There were multiple gold intersections in all 4 preliminary
drill holes. A summary of the significant intersections and gold values
is contained herein.
The 2018 drill program was conducted to test
a Cretaceous age swarm of syenite porphyry dykes intruded into lower
and middle Cambrian sediments. This is the first time that this package
of rocks has ever been drilled. The drill program successfully
intersected multiple zones of gold associated with several syenite dike
targets as well as significant intervals of highly altered, silicified
rock. In addition, there were several intersections of highly altered
and, in some cases, calcareous sediments, some of which contained
elevated gold values. These altered sediments will be further explored
for gold content. They will also be useful as marker horizons guiding
future drilling.
A high grade intersection in hole NS18-01
contained 66.4 g/t gold over 0.2 meters (true width unknown). This
intersection correlates with prior historic gold values obtained in the
area. Car samples and face samples from a drift (small tunnel) driven
partially along the hanging wall of a syenite porphyry dyke in 1937 were
assayed over a width of 1.5 feet (~0.5m). The car samples averaged
0.43 oz. Au per ton (13.4 g/t), 0.48 oz. (14.9g/t) Ag per ton and 2.3%
Pb per ton over 40 feet (12.2m). The face samples along 22 feet (6.7m)
averaged at 2.4 oz. Au per ton (74.6 g/t) 2.17 oz. (67.5 g/t) Ag per
ton and 5.51% Pb.
The Gold Hill property covers approximately 836
hectares and is located along the eastern edge of the Kimberly Gold
Trend. The property is road accessible by paved highway to Fort Steele
and then by main logging roads to (and through) the property. Driving
time from Cranbrook to the center of the property is less than one hour.
The
property contains a significant portion of the Boulder Creek drainage, a
tributary of the Wild Horse River which is considered to be one of the
greatest placer gold rivers in the entire province. Gold rushes have
taken place there since the 1860’s that have yielded over 48 tonnes of
reported gold, making it Canada’s 4th largest placer producer. The
majority of the gold recovered from the Wild Horse was located along a 6
km stretch between Boulder Creek (upstream) and Brewery Creek
(downstream). From the point where Boulder Creek enters the Wild Horse
River for a distance of 6 kilometers downstream, a minimum of 1.5
million ounces (45,655,215 grams) of placer gold was recovered between
1864 and the 1930’s. In addition, an undetermined amount of placer gold
was sold in the United States during this period but no records of the
amount are available. The Boulder Creek drainage is the logical source
of the placer gold recovered from the Wildhorse River below.
Early
efforts by prospectors to locate the source of the Wild Horse placer
gold led explorers up Boulder Creek to what is now called the Gold Hill
property. Although lode gold was first found in the area by prospectors
in the late 1800’s, the Gold Hill property has not been the subject of
any systematic modern exploration and prior to this program, the
property has never been drill tested.
Significant Intercepts from Preliminary 2018 Drill Program
Gold
values, as tested by initial ICP analysis, range from slightly less
than 0.5 g/t to 5.68 g/t. With reference to sample 043174 in hole
NS18-01, where the initial analysis placed gold at >30,000 ppb (30.0
g/t), total metal analysis of the same sample returned a value of 66.4
g/t. To date, this is the only sample that has been analyzed for total
metal. It was originally selected because of the proximal galena and
visible gold.
Historical work on the property has noted the
presence of metallic gold in samples that is not detected by
conventional ICP analysis. A skilled, well trained and experienced
Prospector discusses this phenom in Assessment Report 27,173 (Dec. 29,
2004). Again, in AR 34,920, (July 2015) a P. Geo. explained the presence
of metallic gold. The following is a direct quote from AR 34,920 by the
highly experienced P. Geo. who mapped the property: “work by the
original prospectors and miners on the property from 1898 to 1957 did a
good job of exposing gold-bearing structures and the related sulphides
and gangue minerals. This work demonstrated the course nature of the gold which is commonly visible to the naked eye.”
In
light of the strong possibility that metallic gold was missed by the
initial assaying, further assay work including advanced testing for
metallics will be conducted. As a first step, 12 samples, all of which
indicate significant gold values, have been selected for total metal
analysis. The company is looking forward to receiving the total metal
gold value for the 12 samples selected for this purpose. The results
will be available when the additional assay analysis is completed.
There is some correlation between anomalous Pb in the samples with higher gold values however, they do not always correlate.
Frank
O’Grady, P. Eng. and QP for the project stated: “This first look at the
underground geological structure in the Big Chief area of the property
is very encouraging. Not only are we seeing gold associated with
multiple syenite dyke contacts, but we are also seeing gold showing up
in the highly altered sediments. To have intersected gold in every hole,
especially since we had no prior drill holes on the property to guide
us, indicates the potential scope and scale of the property’s potential
going forward. We clearly have a large gold system we are dealing with
here.”
Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek stated: “This is a
significant first step in unravelling the mystery of the potential
source of the large quantity of Wild Horse river placer gold collected
downstream. Not only are we seeing widespread gold mineralization on
surface, but we now also have our first glimpse at what is going on
underneath a portion of the property. This preliminary program will be a
tremendous aid in guiding future work on the project.”
There are two main highly prospective targets on the property:
1.
The Midas / Gold Hill prospect which is situated on the southern part
of the property. The Midas is in an area of steep topography and is
structurally controlled.
2. The Big Chief prospect which is
situated on the northern portion of the property. The Big Chief is
located on an area of moderate relief and is formed by hydrothermal
activity from intruded syenite dikes of Cretaceous age.
The
property is nominally divided into north and south portions by Boulder
Creek which flows westerly through the property. This phase of the
exploration program focused solely on a portion of the Big Chief
prospect. The highly prospective area of the property situated south of
Boulder Creek was not explored during 2018. This southern area, which
includes high grade gold values in grab samples including 25.14 g/t from
the Guggenheim showing, will be included in 2019 exploration.
Initial
logging of the core combined with sample results has provided a basic
understanding of the underground geological structure as well as the
gold and accompanying metals present in the previously undrilled package
or rocks underlying the Big Chief showings.
Sections containing
increased Au, sometimes Ag and in several cases increased base metals
which include Pb, Cu and Zn are contained in sections of intense
alteration. This alteration includes, but may not be limited to,
silicification, sericitization, carbonatization (in some places) and
increased epidote.
The core will be carefully re-examined during
2019 with key sections being relogged. The initial logging was done
under inclement conditions including low temperatures and poor light and
without the benefit of any prior drill core assays for reference.

Advance Gold has Identified up to 30 Epithermal veins through the first 2 stages of drilling.
AGT-02 Tabasquena intersected 19m of core and is discovery hole of 1.7m of 9.64g/t gold in first 10 metres assayed.
La Chiquita – 4.70m Intersection from (109.25 to 113.95) in AGT-04
AGT-04 Intersected new Vein Yaki for 0.8m, crosscutting La Chiquita vein for 4.70m,the Tabasquena vein for 10 metres in the oxide zone & the La Nina vein for 11m (129-140m depth)
Phase 3 Drilling
In the first two phases of drilling, Advance discovered a cluster of epithermal veins, all but a few of them blind, which suggests this drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system.
The results from the 2 phases of drilling returned significant gold mineralization (see Press Releases November 1, 2018 and November 6, 2018)
A key focus of the phase 3 drilling will be to drill deeper and target the boiling zone of the epithermal vein system. The cluster of veins dip toward a fault which is considered a key structural feature.
A proposed hole will start from the east side of the fault, drill west, to then go through the cluster of veins to catch them at the boiling zone.

Government till samples (2008) returned elevated to anomalous values for gold in various regions of the Golden Trust Property.
The
Golden Trust Property occurs within an under-explored area of the
Newfoundland central gold belt. Company management have been unable to
locate any reports of historic diamond drilling within the property.
Till geochemical sampling conducted by the Newfoundland Department of
Natural Resources in 2008 included a small number of wide-spaced samples
within the Golden Trust Property. Samples from various regions of the
property returned elevated to anomalous values for gold including in the
5-9 parts per billion range.
The southern boundary of the
property is located 1 kilometer north of the northeast region of the
Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV:MOZ).
As reported on Marathon’s website, the Valentine Lake Gold Camp
currently hosts four near-surface, mainly pit-shell constrained,
deposits with measured and indicated resources totaling 2,691,400 oz. of
gold at 1.85 g/t gold and inferred resources totalling 1,531,600 oz. of
gold at 1.77 g/t. The Golden Trust Property is located approximately 44
kilometers southwest of Great Atlantic’s Golden Promise Gold Property
which hosts multiple gold bearing quartz vein systems.
The

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 28, 2019) –
Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private
placement financing (see February 5, 2019 and February 22, 2019 news
releases). The Company has issued 5,691,539 Units, each Unit consisting
of 1 common share and 1 common share purchase warrant, each warrant
being exercisable at $0.08 for 24 months, for gross proceeds of
$369,950. Proceeds from the financing will be used to fund the phase 3

the time the financing was announced.
Upcoming Drilling
In
the first two phases of drilling, Advance discovered a cluster of
epithermal veins, all but a few of them blind, which suggests this
drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system. The results
from the 2 phases of drilling returned significant gold mineralization
(see Press Releases November 1, 2018 and November 6, 2018).
A
key focus of the phase 3 drilling will be to drill deeper and target
the boiling zone of the epithermal vein system. The cluster of veins dip
toward a fault which is considered a key structural feature. A proposed
hole will start from the east side of the fault, drill west, to then go
through the cluster of veins to catch them at the boiling zone.
The
other key focus will be to drill a few shallow holes near a 12 metre
intersection of the Tabasquena vein in the oxides. This vein in the
oxides is much wider than the historical 2-4 metre mining width utilized
by former operator Penoles, which was across 2-4 metres. This
intersection was a 125 metre step out to the north of the old mine
workings and is approximately 75 metres along strike from the 100 metre
deep shaft and headframe. Advance has mining equipment and the
Tabasquena project is fully permitted for mining.
Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “Our
team is very excited to get started on our phase 3 drilling program at
the Tabasquena project. We are in the final stages of planning our two
pronged approach to drilling, and will provide more details as we begin
drilling shortly.
“Past historical mining by Penoles in
the oxides had reported high-grade silver, we have stepped out from
their underground workings and found a much wider intersection of the
Tabasquena vein of 12 metres in the oxides. The shallow holes will help
us understand the near surface potential. There are plenty of streaming
and royalty companies looking for near term production projects to
invest in, yet a small group to choose from. Our timing to test the near
surface potential is very good.
“Our deep hole will test
the depth potential of the cluster of epithermal veins we have hit in
the first 2 phases of drilling. Zonation of grade along the vertical and
horizontal is common in epithermal vein systems, our deeper hole will
help us understand down to the boiling zone of the system.”

Received all analytical results from the 2018 exploration program at its Golden Promise Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt
The results identified additional exploration targets where no prior drilling has taken place
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has received all analytical results from the 2018 exploration program at its Golden Promise Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt, the results identifying additional exploration targets. The 2018 soil and rock analytical results confirm gold soil anomalies +/- rock samples anomalous in gold in at least three additional target areas in under-explored regions of the property. The Company’s main focus on the property remains the Jaclyn Zone where multiple gold bearing quartz vein systems occur. Gold bearing veins and gold bearing quartz vein boulders occur in other regions of the property.
Anomalous 2018 rock and soil samples were concentrated in three new targets areas:
Southwest
region: Anomalous soil samples along two reconnaissance soil lines, up
to 77 ppb gold (News Release of September 27, 2018). All 11 samples
along one 570- meter long line returned anomalous gold values. Rock
samples within the soil anomaly retuned anomalous gold values including
1.04 g/t gold.
East-Central region:
Anomalous soil samples (up to 39 ppb gold) & rock float samples (up
to 136 ppb gold) along a reconnaissance traverse.
West-Central
region: Anomalous soil samples (up to 41 ppb) following up in an area
of 2017 soil anomalies (212 and 236 ppb gold).
No previous drilling in the new target areas.
The
2018 program was reconnaissance in nature consisting of prospecting and
soil / rock geochemical sampling in multiple under-explored regions of
the Golden Promise Property. Multiple gold soil anomalies were
identified in the southwest, west-central and east-central regions of
the property, thereby adding to the number of gold targets within the
property. Rock grab samples from float in the east-central and southwest
regions of the property returned anomalous values for gold, the high
value being 1.04 g/t gold.
Soil sample analytical results from the
southwest region of the Golden Promise Property were reported in the
Company’s News Release of September 27, 2018. The
results include anomalous gold in soil samples from a new target area in
this southwest region. The majority of soil samples from two
reconnaissance lines in this target area returned anomalous values for
gold (up to 77 parts per billion (ppb) gold) including all 11 samples
from one approximately 570-meter long line. Nine of the 2018 rock grab
samples (float and outcrop) from this anomalous zone returned anomalous
gold values, the high value being a boulder sample with quartz veins
returning 1.04 g/t gold.This anomalous zone is
approximately 4 kilometers northeast of the Linda / Snow White gold
bearing vein which is located within the southwest region of the
property. Reported historic highlights for the Linda / Snow White vein
include a 232 g/t gold grab sample, 29.7 g/t gold over 0.5 meters in a
channel sample and 19.5 g/t gold over 1.15 meters during diamond
drilling (core length).
Quartz boulder in new southwest target area
The
2018 program confirmed an area of gold soil anomalies in the
west-central region of the property. Initial reconnaissance soil
sampling by the Company in this region during 2017 identified gold
anomalies (including samples returning 212 and 236 ppb gold). Soil
sampling in this area was continued during 2018 along 2 north-south
lines. Six of seven soil samples from an approximately 300-meter long
section of one line returned anomalous values for gold in the 8-41 ppb
gold range, confirming this new target area. This zone of gold soil
anomalies is located approximately 1 kilometer northwest of the gold
bearing Shawn’s Shot quartz vein. A 0.32-meter long chip sample
collected by the Company across the Shawn’s Shot vein in 2017 returned
48.2 g/t gold (News Release of August 28, 2017).
The 2018 program
established a new gold target area in the east-central region of the
property. Prospecting and soil sampling were conducted along one
east-west reconnaissance line in this region. Approximately 25% of the
soil samples along an approximately 2-kilometer section of this line
returned anomalous values for gold (6-39 ppb gold). Rock samples from
quartz boulders in this region returned anomalous values for gold (up to
136 ppb gold). The target area is approximately 2.2 kilometers
south-southwest of the gold bearing Jaclyn Main Zone. The Jaclyn Main
Zone has been the primary focus of historic gold exploration on the
property.
The Company recently reported a National Instrument
43-101mineral resource estimate for the Jaclyn Main Zone, located in the
northern region of the property (News Release of December 6, 2018; and
Sedar-filed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden
Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018
by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim,
B.Sc., P.Geo.). The reported inferred mineral resource estimate for the
Jaclyn Main Zone is as follows:

The
Jaclyn Main Zone is part of the Jaclyn Zone. At least 5 gold bearing
quartz vein systems are reported at the Jaclyn Zone, including the
Jaclyn Main Zone, Jaclyn North Zone, Jaclyn South Zone, Jaclyn East Zone
and Jaclyn West Zone. Much of the reported historical exploration
within the property has been focused on the Jaclyn Zone with the
majority of historic drill holes (2002-2010) at the Jaclyn Main Zone.
Other gold bearing veins within the property include Shawn’s Shot, Linda
/ Snow White and at the Gabbro Occurrence. High grade quartz boulders
are reported within the property including at the Jaclyn Zone and
Branden and Justin’s Hope boulder occurrences.
The property is
located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone.
Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the
north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a
volcano-sedimentary terrane. The northwestern margin of the Golden
Promise Property occurs proximal to, and, in part, contiguous with a
major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, known
as the Red Indian Line (RIL). The RIL forms the western boundary of the
Exploits Subzone. Recent significant gold discoveries in this region of
the Exploits Subzone include those of Sokoman Iron Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Project and Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) at the Valentine Lake Gold Camp.
Sokoman Iron Corp. (TSXV.SIC) recently
announced a high-grade gold discovery on its Moosehead Property,
located approximately 40 kilometers east-northeast of the Golden Promise
Property. The discovery was made during the 2018 diamond drilling
program. A drill intersection of 44.96 g/t gold over 11.90 meters core
length was reported including a 1.35 meters core length quartz vein
intersection of 385.85 g/t gold (Sokoman Iron Corp. News Release of July
24, 2018). The Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) is
located approximately 55 kilometers southwest of the Golden Promise
Property. As reported on Marathon’s website, the Valentine Lake Gold
Camp currently hosts four near-surface, mainly pit-shell constrained,
deposits with measured and indicated resources totaling 2,691,400 oz. of
gold at 1.85 g/t gold and inferred resources totalling 1,531,600 oz. of
gold at 1.77 g/t. Readers are warned that mineralization at the
Moosehead Property and Valentine Lake Gold Camp is not necessarily
indicative of mineralization on the Golden Promise Property.
As
reported in the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the
Golden Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December
4, 2018 by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry
Pilgrim, B.Sc., P.Geo., the Jaclyn Main Zone was modelled as a single
quartz vein that strikes east-west and dips steeply to the south.
Modelled vein thickness was based on true thickness derived from quartz
vein intercepts. The estimate is based on 220 assays that were
composited to 135 one-meter long composites. A bulk density of 2.7 g/cm3
was used. Blocks in the model measured 15 meters east-west, 1-meter
north-south and 10 meters vertically. The block model was not rotated.
Grades were interpolated using inverse-distance squared (ID2) weighting
and a search ellipse that measured 100 meters along strike, two meters
across strike and 50 meters vertically. Grades were interpolated based
on a minimum of two and a maximum of 10 composites with a maximum of one
composite per hole so the grade of each block is based on at least two
drillholes thereby demonstrating continuity of mineralization. For the
capped mineral resource estimate, all assays that exceed 65 g/t gold
were capped at 65 g/t gold. All resources were classified as Inferred
because of the relatively wide spacing of drill holes through most of
the zone.
Because part of the vein is near surface the resource
estimate was constrained by a conceptual open pit to demonstrate
reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction. Generic mining
costs of US$2.50/tonne and processing costs of US$25.00/tonne were used
together with a gold price of US$1,300/ounce. A conceptual pit slope of
45° was assumed with no allowance for mining loss or dilution. Based on
the combined hypothetical mining and processing costs and the assumed
price of gold, a pit-constrained cutoff grade of 0.6 g/t was adopted.
For the underground portion of the resource a cutoff of 1.5 g/t was
assumed. The cutoff grade for the total resource is the weighted average
of the pit-constrained and underground cutoff grades.
The
2018 rock and soil samples were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd. in
Springdale, NL for gold by Fire Assay and for 34 elements by ICP. A
qualified person managed and conducted the 2018 exploration program.

JV partner Tudor Gold has updated information from the southern part of the Goldstorm Zone on the Treaty Creek property in the Golden Triangle
Significant horizons of stronger gold mineralization occur in a thick envelope of low-grade gold mineralization throughout the entire Goldstorm Zone.
Within the low-grade mineralized body, near-surface horizons of stronger gold grades occur.
CB-17-24 interval averages 0.945 g/t Au over 213.0 meters,including the core of the zone that averages 1.925 g/t Au over a 60 meter interval.
Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – February 27, 2019) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (the “Company”)is
pleased to announce that JV partner Tudor Gold has updated information
from the southern part of the Goldstorm Zone on the Treaty Creek
property in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. New
composites from drill holes completed during 2017 and 2018 demonstrate
that significant horizons of stronger gold mineralization occur in a
thick envelope of low-grade gold mineralization throughout the entire
Goldstorm Zone.
Within
the low-grade mineralized body, near-surface horizons of stronger gold
grades occur. The southernmost drill section, 107+00 NE (attached below)
demonstrates that the Goldstorm Zone contains a higher grade gold
interval at its eastern near-surface projection in hole CB-17-24. This
enriched gold interval averages 0.945 g/t Au over 213.0 metersincluding the core of the zone that averages 1.925 g/t Au over a 60 meter interval.
Similarly, the upper part of the gold intercepts in holes CB18-32 and
CB18-34 also demonstrate that the stronger gold mineralization occurs in
the upper portion of each intercept. The following table gives gold
composites from the three drill holes on Section 107+00 NE that cut the
Goldstorm Zone.

Gold Exploration Manager Ken Konkin stated: “We consistently see thick,
low-grade gold intercepts that contain distinct horizons of stronger
gold mineralization throughout the entire Goldstorm Zone. Our
preliminary petrographic studies confirm that gold mineralization is
associated with multiple pulses of disseminated and veinlet pyrite
emplacement. These events were then over-printed and mineralized by
late-stage, steep-angled, quartz-calcite-pyrite veinlets that contain
native gold. The hanging wall of the Goldstorm Zone is well defined by a
sharp fault contact. This appears to be a moderately dipping regional
thrust fault similar to the orientation and nature of the Sulphurets
Thrust Fault hanging wall contact at Seabridge’s Iron Cap deposit,
located five kilometers to the southwest.” Goldstorm
extends for at least 500 meters along a northeastern strike and is open
to the east, north and down dip. A drill plan map showing the locations
of drill hole collars and section lines is included below in the
attached Section 107+00NE. Drill hole CB18-35B stopped within the fault
zone and therefore did not penetrate the gold zone. In the following
weeks, geologists will be planning an aggressive diamond drill hole
program for the 2019 exploration season in order to fast-track the
advancement of the Treaty Creek Project. Tudor
Gold will be displaying core samples and drill sections at booth #3314
at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in
Toronto March 3-6, 2019.
