  • Seven grab quartz vein samples collected at the Gold Drop Southwest Zone returned in excess of 1 gram per tonne gold (g/t Au)
  • Two of these samples exceeded 10 g/t Au including a sample adjacent to the historic C.O.D. shaft (19.65 g/t Au) and a bedrock vein sample along a new access road which returned 14.1 g/t Au

Vancouver, British Columbia – GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce analytical results for initial rock samples collected during May 2017 at its high-grade Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood in southern British Columbia. Seven grab quartz vein samples collected at the Gold Drop Southwest Zone returned in excess of 1 gram per tonne gold (g/t Au). Two of these samples exceeded 10 g/t Au including a sample adjacent to the historic C.O.D. shaft (19.65 g/t Au) and a bedrock vein sample along a new access road which returned 14.1 g/t Au. This new vein showing is approximately 680 metres northeast of the C.O.D. shaft. The property covers geologically prospective ground in the well-mineralized Greenwood Mining Division. The property hosts numerous low-sulfide, gold and silver bearing quartz veins or vein systems, four of which were previously mined. One focus of the current work is to locate and sample reported veins and document historic workings. Such work was conducted in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone during May 2017.

During May 2017 the Company collected multiple rock samples at the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Gold and silver bearing veins are reported in this area including the C.O.D. and Tel 2 gold – silver vein occurrences (B.C. MINFILE Occurrence No. 082ESE285 and082ESE287). The Company located the C.O.D. vein and historic C.O.D. shaft and other historic trenches and pits in this area during May. Rock samples were collected during the program at the C.O.D. vein at and close to the C.O.D. shaft; and from quartz veins northeast and northwest of the C.O.D. shaft. The samples were submitted to ALS Minerals in North Vancouver for gold analysis (Fire Assay and AAS). Select samples were also analyzed for 33 additional elements (Four Acid and ICP-AES). The Company has received analytical results for the first 20 samples collected. Seven of these rock samples exceeded 1 g/t Au (all being grab rock samples), listed in the following table:

Sample No. Au (g/t)   Comments

This historic C.O.D. shaft is reported to be approximately 21 metres deep, and reported to have been sunk around 1900 on a gold bearing quartz vein (C.O.D. occurrence). The shaft was reported to have been de-watered in 1983 with the vein in the shaft being sampled. Historic 1980s trenches reportedly traced the vein to the southwest to the Tel 2 occurrence. The quartz vein in the shaft (C.O.D occurrence) is reported to be 1.22 metres wide, striking northeast – southwest. A 1988 diamond drill hole reported adjacent to the shaft was reported to intersect 7.4 g/t Au and 86.8 g/t Ag over 0.75 metres (true width of mineralization not reported). Chip samples during 1983 from the vein were reported to average 10.3 g/t Au and 102.6 g/t Ag over a length of 1.2 metres. A 1988 quartz vein grab sample from a trench southwest of the C.O.D. shaft was reported to return 20.8 g/t Au and 115.6 g/t Ag (Tel 2 gold and silver occurrence). This 1988 sample was reported as banded chalcedonic quartz.

Excavator trenching is underway now to further expose and trace the gold being veins sampled in May. Trenching in the area of sample V108005 is a high priority to Company management. This newly exposed quartz vein is on the approximate northeast trend of the C.O.D. vein. Samples V108003, V108007 and V108008 were also collected in this general area and further northeast of V108005. Trenching will test the area between the C.O.D shaft and this area of gold bearing veins.

  • Announced an update for the 2017 exploration program at its high grade Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood in southern British Columbia
  • Focus of the current work is to locate and sample reported veins and document historic workings
  • Exploration program will focus on 6 priority areas, covering areas of gold and silver bearing veins

Vancouver, British Columbia – GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce an update for the 2017 exploration program at its high grade Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood in southern British Columbia. The Company has also expanded the Gold Drop property to the west by staking of additional mineral claims. The property now covers an area of approximately 4200 hectares. The property covers geologically prospective ground in the well-mineralized Greenwood Mining Division. The property hosts numerous low-sulfide, gold and silver bearing quartz veins or vein systems, four of which were previously mined. The focus of the current work is to locate and sample reported veins and document historic workings.

The 2017 exploration program will focus on 6 priority areas, covering areas of gold and silver bearing veins (B.C. MINFILE occurrences and other veins reported in historic B.C. assessment reports). These priority areas are the Gold Drop – North Star vein system, Ken vein and Silent Friend veins in the eastern region; Amandy vein and Roderick Dhu vein in the northwest region; and Tel – C.O.D. veins in the southwest region (Southwest Zone). An area of high grade gold and silver mineralization discovered in 2015 at a trench at the North Star vein is high priority target for the Company. Grab samples from this trench returned 159 g/t Au (grams per tonne) and 744 g/t Ag, 12.2 g/t Au and 78 g/t Ag; and 12.5 g/t Au and 100 g/t Ag.

Phase I of the 2017 work program on the Gold Drop property is currently underway with initial focus on the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Gold and silver bearing quartz veins are reported in this region of the property. One reported quartz vein in this region is referred to as the C.O.D. The northeast-southwest striking C.O.D. vein is reported to be traced by a series of shafts and pits for a distance of 1500 metres and reported to have a maximum width of 1.5 metres at surface. The Company has located historic workings during May in the area of this reported vein, including shafts and trenches. One located shaft is the C.O.D shaft which is reported to be approximately 20 metres deep. A 1988 quartz vein grab sample from a trench in this region southwest of the C.O.D. shaft was reported to return 20.8 g/t Au and 115.6 g/t Ag (Tel 2 gold and silver occurrence)

The Company has located and sampled new exposures of a vein interpreted by Company management to be the C.O.D. vein. New showings of this vein have been exposed by recent logging activity in the area. Several of these exposures were sampled during May. These have been further exposed in May by excavator pitting and hand trenching

Historic shaft in southwest region of Gold Drop Property

Banded chalcedonic quartz has been reported in a historic trench southwest of the C.O.D shaft. This material is of possible epithermal origin. A historic sample was reported to return s of 0.608 oz./ton Au (20.8 grams / tonne) and 3.38 oz./ton Ag (115.8 grams / tonne). These historic trenches were located in May but have filled in over time. The Company has identified the area of the C.O.D. vein and the reported chalcedonic quartz as a trenching target.

Other discoveries during May include an exposure described by Company personnel as a chalcedonic vein breccia. This exposure is located further northeast of the C.O.D. shaft.  Due to the steepness of the area the vein has been hand trenched and chip sampled.

  • World class gold and base metal deposits in British Columbia; and diamonds in Alberta.
  • More than 9 million oz Au produced or as resources in a radius of less than 70KM to Greenwood project
  • Holds, or has an interest in, metallic and industrial mineral permits for potash totalling more than 364,000 acres along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border
  • Four precious-base metal properties in British Columbia totalling over 235,000 acres. Grizzly also currently holds more than 231,000 acres in diamond properties, which host diamondiferous kimberlites in the Buffalo Head Hills and Birch Mountains of Alberta
  • Portions of Grizzly’s Greenwood Project being explored by Kinross through option agreement

EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drillholes with up to 31.1% K2O results from assays on recent Grizzly drill program
  • Historic Unity Potash Mine 45 km east of existing GZD lands
  • Agrium Vanscory Potash Mine 200 km east of GZD lands
  • Significant Potash in drill core or indicated by gamma logs at depths ranging from 1,060m to 1,675m
  • Temperatures at those depths range from about 50oC to 75oC. Optimal temperature for solution mining is approximately 75oC.

POTASH DEMAND AND GROWTH

  • According to industry estimates, Canada has Potash resources of 7.3 billion tonnes – roughly 52% of the world’s supply.
  • Currently 11 mines in Saskatchewan produce the majority of Canada’s 35% contribution to the world’s annual production.
  • The arable land per person in the world is declining, and weather patterns are becoming more volatile and extreme, fuelling demand for Potash which increases the yield per acre approximately 40%.

BC PRECIOUS METALS

Greenwood Gold District

Portions of Grizzly’s Greenwood Project being explored by Kinross is 100% owned by Grizzly Discoveries Inc. and includes 131 claims that form a contiguous package totaling approximately 27,346 hectares, representing approximately one third of Grizzly’s land holdings at Greenwood. Under the terms of a September 2015 agreement, KG Exploration (Canada) Inc. can earn a 75% interest on the optioned land pursuant to an Option Agreement with Grizzly on portions of its land holdings in southeastern British Columbia by incurring US$3 million in exploration expenditures over a 5 year period. By the second anniversary of the agreement, 750 metres of diamond drilling must be completed along with US$750,000 in expenditures by September 23, 2017.

 ALBERTA DIAMONDS

  • Following 12 drill holes, 3 new diamond bearing kimberlites were discovered in 2008 at the Buffalo Head Hills property.
  • Grizzly has more than 200,000 acres surrounding Diamondex & Shore Gold in the Buffalo Head Hills.
  • Two kimberlite pipes look very promising and need bulk sampling which is being planned for future dates due to Grizzly’s current potash focus.
  • Land rights are valid for 2 to 5 years based on existing development work done on properties by Grizzly.

Buffalo Head Hills Diamond Property, Alberta
A Renewed Interest in diamonds

Renewed interest in diamond exploration during 2015 and 2016 has prompted re-evaluation of Grizzly’s Buffalo Head Hills Diamond Project in north-central Alberta, which is located approximately 330 kilometres northwest of Edmonton and is easily accessed during summer and winter by a large network of roads and cutlines. Based upon an internal review of all data, the Company has staked additional permits of highly prospective lands for diamond-bearing kimberlites in the Buffalo Head Hills area. Grizzly’s total land position includes 11 permits that encompass approximately 220,000 acres.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(May 11, 2017) -  HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to announce that the geophysical study along St-Gustave road on the company’s Beauce Gold property located in St-Simon-Les-Mines announced last year (HPQ Press release March 22, 2016) was completed and has identified a major fault beneath the former placer gold mining operation of the 1960s Beauce Placer Company.

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of HPQ Silicon stated, “This is an important discovery that narrows our search to find the hard rock source of the St-Simon-Les-Mines gold placers.“ Mr. Levasseur also stated “We’re also very excited by the potential for discovery of another massive sulphide deposit within the Bellechasse Gold Belt. This is the same gold belt that hosts Golden Hope Mines Bellechasse – Timmins gold deposit as well as the Champagne massive sulphide deposit.

SIGNIFICANT GOVERNMENT AND RESEARCH ENTITIES CONDUCTED GEOPHYSICAL STUDY

As part of a research grant from the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT) in partnership with the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and HPQ Silicon Resources, the INRS-Center Eau Terre et Environnement of Québec conducted a multidisciplinary geophysical study to document the deep geological context of the Magog Group and, more specifically, the Beauceville Formation (Bellechasse gold belt) under the St-Simon-les-Mines gold placer.

PRESENCE OF A MAJOR FAULT LINE IN THIS SECTOR IS UNPRECEDENTED

The work, carried out under the supervision of Professor Marc Richer-LaFlèche, Ph.D., geo, consists of audio-magnetotelluric, gravimetric, magnetometric and electromagnetic surveys. The latter were carried out along a 5.6 km section along the St-Gustave road. The results of the study suggest the presence of a large fault (Figure 1) rising on the edge of the former placer gold mining operation of the 1960s Beauce Placer Company. Gravity data also shows a contrast between the southern and northern blocks of the fault. This new information is relevant to explain the possible source of gold contained in the St-Simon-les-Mines site and along the Gilbert River. The presence of a major fault in this sector was previously not identified, as government maps indicate simple folded structures in the area. In addition, the projection of the fault at the surface corresponds to a high electrical chargeability domain (Richer-LaFlèche, 2014) suggesting the presence of disseminated sulphides in the volcaniclastic rocks of the Beauceville Formation. This area borders the northern limit of the St-Simon-les-Mines gold placer.

POTENTIAL FOR POLYMETALLIC MASSIVE SULPHIDE MINERALISATION

In addition to specifying the structural context of the St-Simon-les-Mines gold sector, the geophysical work of 2016 was extended north to document the deep geology of the northern part of the Beauceville Formation. This area is characterized by a greater proportion of volcanoclastic and volcanic rocks and a geological context similar to that of the Champagne deposit in the St-Magloire area (Bellechasse gold belt). The audio-magnetotelluric data of the St-Gustave road section suggest the presence of a large conductor (conductor IV) with an estimated thickness of about 50 m and vertical extension in the order of 400 m (Fig. 1). This structure could correspond to a massive polymetallic sulphides mineralization. Additional work is planned to specify the geometry of this conductor.

IMPLICATIONS FOR MINERAL EXPLORATION IN THE BELLECHASSE GOLD BELT

The use of multiple geophysical methods including deep penetration AMT makes it possible to improve the geological understanding of the St-Simon-les-Mines sector by highlighting the presence of a fault in the vicinity of the gold placer. The rocks in the area affected by the presumed structure show local high electrical chargeability values suggesting the presence of disseminated sulphides in the volcanoclastic rocks of the Beauceville Formation. Additional geophysical and geological work will be carried out to clarify the geometry of the fault and to document the presence of bedrock mineralization under the placer and in the northern part of the Beauce Gold property.

About Beauce Gold Fields

Beauce Gold Fields (BGF) is a wholly own subsidiary of HPQ Silicon. HPQ is in the process of “Spinning Out” Beauce Gold Fields into a new publicly trading junior gold company. Shareholders of record of HPQ will receive shares in the new company. The Beauce Gold property will become the property of merit of BGF.

The Beauce Gold project is a unique, historically prolific gold field located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. Comprising of a block of 145 claims 100 per cent owned by HPQ, the project area hosts a six-kilometre-long unconsolidated gold-bearing sedimentary unit (a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite). The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock source of gold, providing possible further exploration discoveries.

Beauce Gold Property highlights (Beauce Technical 43-101 Report January 2015)

  • Certificate of authorizations (CA) allowing the start of first phase mining activities on the Rang Chaussegros sector of the Beauce gold project;
  •  Polygonally calculated gold exploration target for the entire historical placer channel ranging between 61,000 ounces (2.2 million cubic metres at 0.87 gram of gold per cubic metre) and 366,000 ounces (2.2 million cubic metres at 5.22 grams of gold per cubic metre); Potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource
  • Significant potential for further exploration discoveries; geology suggest a proximate bedrock source of gold;
  • 176 acres of real estate 100 per cent owned by HPQ;
  • The property once held four historical gold mining operations;

Rouyn-Noranda, Canada  – Having invested in many GOLD based Junior exploration companies over the past 35 years, I’ve created a personal set of criteria which has worked very well for some time now. Firstly, of course, is where we are in the GOLD cycle? On a daily basis, I read the thoughts, insights & opinions of a variety of GOLD experts. I tend to largely overlook mainstream media in my decision making, as that reporting is generally ‘after the fact’. At this moment, my research suggests GOLD is going considerably higher. Blah, blah, blah…yes, very true, we have seen a number of ‘false’ starts, most notably the Brexit upward surge, that got knocked back overnight. However, based on GOLD’s thirty-year history, a more permanent surge seems inevitable, considering Sovereign Debt levels; the impact of suggested interest rate increases; the Chinese plan toward a GOLD backed currency; and an elevated GOLD accumulation strategy by many of the most savvy investors in the world. Given I have held the view that USD$2,000 GOLD has been on the horizon for some time, why did I decide on EXS/EXSFF/E1H1 as my ‘flagship’ investment? Initially, a very dear friend brought the Company to my attention. More importantly, all the experts agree the greatest return on investment in a bull GOLD environment, is in the small cap, GOLD exploration sector, especially in a Company with great assets.

I visited the Company’s website www.explorresouces.com & discovered that this overlooked equity held ten GOLD & three Base Metals property groupings, predominantly along the GOLD rich Porcupine Destor Fault in northern Ontario & Quebec. Two of their properties have been developed to the point that NI 43-101 reports provide resource estimates. In my experience, I had never seen such a small company, with so many properties of merit. I then spoke directly with President & CEO Chris Dupont, a Mining Engineer with over 40 years of mining & exploration experience, and was deeply impressed with his detailed knowledge about every parcel of land in the Company’s portfolio.

As I’ve taken advantage of every weakness in the stock price to add to my position, I’ve stayed in touch with Dupont, and a variety of third parties, in an effort to keep all shareholders informed on an ongoing basis. Most recently, I’ve mentioned a proposed drilling program at the Company’s East Bay property block, near Duparquet, Quebec. Using the latest, most sophisticated geophysics technologies, a short list of promising targets has been established. The Company is hoping to begin drilling by mid June, which should get the attention of IAMGOLD, adjacent both to the east & west of the East Bay grouping. Further, progress has been made at the PG-101 property, and the Company is optomistic some drilling may take place in the near future. Recently completed geophysics have identified a number of very promising targets. I’ve also heard a rumour that the long-awaited drilling results from the January/February program on the properties north of the Glencore Kidd VMS Mine may have been processed by the lab. I’m hopeful Explor will put out a News Release shortly. Dupont has always been adamant about the ‘cluster effect of Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits’, and, encouraged by the discovery of exhalite on four separate occasions now, I’m certain the search will continue. Additionally, the status of the TPW GOLD Deposit remains a conundrum. Other than the obvious interest in the deposit, and its perceived potential by TAHOE, & by GOLDCORP (who hold a 3% Net Smelter Return on the property), I haven’t been able to get anything further on plans moving forward.

Lastly, I’m hearing an updated video interview with Dupont should be available within the next couple of weeks.
