About Labrador Gold:

Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in the Americas.

In early March 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project in the Gander area of Newfoundland. The property is along strike to the northeast of New Found Gold’s discovery of 92.86 g/t Au over 19.0 metres on their Queensway property. (Note that mineralization hosted on adjacent or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company’s property). The two licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately 16km of the Appleton fault zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including the New Found Gold discovery. Historical work over the area covered by the Kingsway licenses shows evidence of gold in till, vegetation, soil, stream sediments, lake sediments and float. Infrastructure in the area is excellent located just 18km from the town of Gander with road access to the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water.

The Hopedale property covers much of the Florence Lake greenstone belt that stretches over 60 km. The belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but has been underexplored by comparison. Initial work by Labrador Gold during 2017 show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 kilometres along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details).

The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35 km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville, which is linked by rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment gold anomalies that, with the exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program. Results of the 2017 reconnaissance exploration program following up the lake sediment anomalies show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north-south trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east-west trend. The anomalies appear to be broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional scale (see news release dated January 18th 2018). This suggests a possible structural control on the localization of the gold anomalies. Historical work 30 km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width) (Source: IOS Services Geoscientifiques, 2012, Exploration and geological reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer Field Season 2011). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with similar rock types.

Durango Resources $DGO.ca Begins Exploration at Windfall Lake $BTR.ca $OSK.ca $SII.ca $TLG.ca

  • Durango Resources Inc.’s exploration team has arrived on site at Windfall Lake, Quebec.
  • Preparing drill pads for upcoming summer drill program

The work crew has been tasked with preparing the site for the upcoming summer drill program by way of creating drill pads and clearing access to the areas of interest. As previously announced on April 4, 2019, Durango has identified 15 drill targets for the Trove Property to test favourable IP signatures that coincide with geochemistry anomalies including gold found in till samples.

The exploration team will also be mapping and collecting additional till and rock samples on the East Barry Block in an area of interest along the contact of instrusives and volcanics. Till sampling conducted in 2018 and 2019, identified a 5km trend which we are eager to investigate and identify the source for future drill targets.

Marcy Kiesman, chief executive officer of Durango, stated: “I am excited to finally get our exploration team moving at Windfall Lake. I want to thank our shareholders for their patience this year as we navigated the challenges of closures and increased regulations due to COVID19. We look forward to a busy summer exploring and drilling in the Windfall gold camp adjacent to Osisko with great hopes for success for our shareholders.”

The technical contents of this press release were approved by George Yordanov, professional geologist, an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not yet been subject to an NI-43-101 report.

Trove, Quebec

Durango owns 100% interest in the Trove claims, which are surrounded by Osisko Mining Inc., in the Windfall Lake area between Val d’Or and Chibougamau, Quebec. The 1,185 hectare property is compelling due to the coincidence of gold found in tills coinciding with magnetic highs, several Induced Polarization (“IP”) anomalies and two faults crosscutting the property. The fault systems north and south of the Trove, control gold mineralization elsewhere, indicating the Trove has excellent exploration potential. Durango received all the final drill permits for the Trove property in September 2019 and is undergoing its final reviewing process for the proposed 3,000m drill program.

East Barry, Quebec

Durango owns 100% interest in the East Barry claims which run parallel to Trove claims. The East Barry block is over 6,100 hectares in size and borders the eastern perimeter of Osisko’s holdings and the southern perimeter of Bonterra’s holdings and is less than 4km south of the Gladiator deposit. The East Barry claims host a gold trend which covers approximately 10km in length and is subparallel to the main Barry Fault held by Osisko. In 2018 a till sampling program was conducted and one of the till samples returned fourty-two (42) pristine gold grains with reported gold values of 2.184 g/t Au. A high count of pristine gold grains indicates that the gold has travelled a very short distance from its source. The East Barry block underwent an Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey in 2018 which identified a high priority target coincident with the high count of pristine gold grains.

About Durango

Durango is a natural resources company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company is positioned for discovery with a 100% interest in a strategically located group of properties in the Windfall Lake gold camp in the Abitibi region of Quebec, Canada.

“Fortune and Glory Kid”

Providing our call of the day is Crescat Capital’s global macro analyst Otavio ‘Tavi’ Costa, who thinks we’re in the early stages of a major bull market for precious metals as a noncorrelated macro asset class. That is good news for one unloved group of stocks.

“Wait until the Robinhood traders learn about the gold and silver penny stocks, that’s where we’re long,” Costa told MarketWatch. He was referring to a low-cost trading app that has lured a flood of new investors, who have lately won some bets on beaten-down stocks.

“The mining space has been in sort of a recession since the 2011 peak of gold and silver prices. The capital in the space has dried up significantly. I think that now with the macro and fundamentals aligning with technicals on the long-term side, I’ve never seen such a good setup for an industry like precious metals,” said Costa.

Costa says they have been taking friendly activist stakes in some “junior explorer” miners with prolific projects.” Crescat created a fund devoted to mining companies a year ago because the sector was so beaten-down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=IMeJrGBFiLw&feature=emb_logo

Miners are divided into juniors GDXJ, +0.79% that focus on hunts for precious metal deposits, and senior miners GDX, +0.63% that have big developed mining operations

He said the large-cap mining space has started to improve a bit, and thinks investors will move from there onto the bottom part of the industry.

The overall market cap of the precious-metals industry represents less than 1% of the overall market cap of the equity market as a whole, said Costa. It is best placed to benefit from factors such as a virus-driven depressed economic picture, historically high U.S. equity valuations, fiat money printing globally and suppressed long-term rates, to name a few.

“The metals prices should be rising significantly and capital will start to pour into the industry in general, and I think that’s going to be a big change in terms of margins and fundamentals of those businesses,” said Costa. The mining sector is trading at five to 10 times free cash flow — a measure of company’s operating expenses and capital spending — versus any tech-sector industry that trades at 20 to 70 times sales.

“There are no fundamental reasons in which we’re going to see organic growth in the economy, and that brings you back to the situation of the government. It’s already broke and deficits will only increase going forward…it will force the Fed to continue stimulus going forward. That creates and an environment for gold,” and all those miners, he said.

Advance Gold $AAX.ca Starts Phase 3 Drilling at the Tabasquena Project in Zacatecas, Mexico $MGG.ca $SIL.ca $FA.ca

  • phase 3 drilling is underway at the Tabasquena mine in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico
  • Two targets are planned to be drilled:
  • One target is a near surface, the other a deeper test for the boiling zone of the cluster of epithermal veins drilled in the two earlier phases of drilling.
  • Advance discovered a cluster of epithermal veins through drilling, all but a few of them blind. This suggests drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 22, 2019) – Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce phase 3 drilling is underway at the Tabasquena mine in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico. Two targets are planned to be drilled during this program, one is a near surface target and the other deeper to test the boiling zone of the cluster of epithermal veins drilled in the two earlier phases of drilling.

Highlights of Phase 1 and 2 Drilling

Advance discovered a cluster of epithermal veins through drilling, all but a few of them blind. This suggests drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system. From a regional perspective, most of the veins found near the city of Fresnillo, including those found at the Fresnillo Plc. and Mag Silver Juanicipio joint venture are blind.

Often, at the top of an epithermal vein system, anomalous to low grade is expected, which was found in phase 1 and 2 drilling. Also present in the core is milky quartz and amethyst, another important indicator of being at the top of an epithermal vein system. Importantly, crustiform and colloform quartz was encountered which are indicative of a long lived, multiple phase system.

Phase 3 Drilling Plans

Two shallow holes, around 150 metres each, are planned to test the near term production potential in the oxide zone of the Tabasquena vein. In the phase 2 drilling, a 12 metre intersection of the Tabasquena vein in the oxides was hit. This vein in the oxides is much wider than the historical 2-4 metre mining widths utilized by former operator Penoles. 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 on site and the Tabasquena project is fully permitted for mining.

A key focus of the phase 3 drilling will be to drill deeper to 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 deep hole will start from the west side of the fault, drill east, to then go through the cluster of veins to catch them at the boiling zone. This hole is planned for approximately 700-800 metres of depth, based on the well understood model of epithermal veins in the area, this depth should reach the boiling zone.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “In past drilling, we have been able to hit important milestones drilling at the Tabasquena, with the discovery of a wider portion of the Tabasquena vein in the oxide zone, and the discovery of a cluster of epithermal veins. Our team is excited to test these two important targets. Considering we have a mine permit, and underground workings, plus that many streamers and royalty companies are in need of new projects to deploy their cash, makes the near surface drilling an important drill target. The deep drilling is very exciting as well. Our past drilling has shown we have a large epithermal vein cluster, mineralization of gold and silver, and that it is a long-lived system. Now comes the exciting part, drilling deeper to test for the boiling zone of the system.”
