Vancouver, British Columbia – April 12, 2022 StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV: SKP) (OTCQB: STKXF) (“StrikePoint” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from surface channel sampling as well as reconnaissance grab samples collected during the 2021 exploration program at the 100%-owned Willoughby gold-silver property, located east of the community of Stewart in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle. The purpose of the channel sampling is to provide quality surface assay data over the surface expression of mineralized zones that could potentially be used for a NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the property and to refine diamond drill targeting for 2022 field season. 

Highlights of the remainder of 2021 surface sampling at Willoughby Include:

• 4.74 g/t AuEq over 7.0 metres, including 8.60 g/t AuEq over 3.0 metres in channel at Edge Zone
• 11 grabs from NN Zone average 4.28 g/t Au, 159.1 g/t Ag including 17.45 g/t Au, 576 g/t Ag
• 6 grabs from Willow Zone average 9.91 g/t Au, 151.4 g/t Ag including 49.00 g/t Au and 777 g/t Ag

StrikePoint’s CEO, Shawn Khunkhun, states, “In addition to providing increased definition at the known gold-silver Zones at Willoughby, surface sampling during 2021 at the NN area along strike from the North Zone underground workings has extended total strike of the series of mineralized Zones an additional  113 metres to the north on the Willoughby nunataq. As well, the high-grade gold and silver values and multiple high-grade structures 100 meters south of our Willow Zone drilling are priority drilling targets for our 2022 drilling season. Of particular interest are the high silver assays from these areas”

2021 Willoughby Channel Sampling

These results include seven continuous series of channel samples from steep terrain at the Edge Zone, collected by experienced climbing geologists and technicians using a hydraulic chisel, from well-exposed bedrock hosting disseminated to massive mineralization. The samples cover approximately 40 metres of strike and 20 metres of vertical relief on steep exposure. This sampling suggests that the Edge Zone true thickness ranges from 3 to 8 metres. Coupled with drilling, this sampling suggests dimension of 16 by 48 metres starting at surface.

The Edge  Zone samples, along with channel sampling results from the Icefall zones on the property (News release December 15, 2021, 3.38 g/t AuEq over 15.0 metres including 12.53 g/t AuEq over 2.0 metres in channel W21-CH-004), provide representative assay data from surface expressions projected up-dip and along strike to the north of previous and 2021 drilling (News Release March 2, 2022, 2.76 g/t AuEq over 6.50 metres and 10.16 g/t AuEq over 1.5 metres in hole W21-117).   

The Edge zone is one of the least tested of the seven significant mineralized areas on the Willoughby nunataq. The channel sampling at the Edge Zones confirmed continuous gold and silver mineralization along all seven channel lines in 74 samples with values of up to 18.50 g/t gold and 31.1 g/t silver. Five channel sampling lines intersected the mineralized horizon perpendicular to the strike of the Edge Zone  (W21-CH-008, W21-CH-009, W21-CH-011 to W21-CH-013), and two are along strike (W21-CH-010, W21-CH-014). 

 

Figure 1. Edge zone 2021 Channel Sampling Line location in relation with the 2021 drilling on the Willoughby nunataq.

The gold-silver mineralization consists of replacement-style sulphides within permeable lapilli tuff strata of the Early Jurassic lower Hazelton group. Mineralization is concordant with bedding and ranges from semi-massive to massive pyrite with accessory sphalerite-chalcopyrite. Both W21-CH-008 and W21-CH-013 intersected the mineralized horizon perpendicularly. W21-CH-008 returned 4.74 g/t AuEq over 7.0 metres, including 8.60 g/t AuEq over 3.0 metres. W21-CH-013 is the northernmost channel sampling line, stepped out 48 metres from the previously released 2021 drilling at the Edge zone and returned 3.26 g/t AuEq over 9.0 metres. Both W21-CH-010 and W21-CH-014 are parallel to the mineralization testing continuity along strike. W21-CH-010 returned 3.01 g/t AuEq over 11.0 metres, and W21-CH-014 returned 3.48 g/t AuEq over 18.0 metres, extending the outlined Edge zone mineralization in the 2021 drilling twenty-seven metres further to the north.

2021 Willoughby Grab Samples

The remainder of the 2021 select grab samples results were also received from the North-North and Willow zones. The Willow zone is the northern most zone on the property located 800 metres due northeast of the Willoughby nunataq. Surface sampling  returned high grade values ranging from 0.07 to 49.0 g/t Au, averaging 9.91 g/t Au and 3.3 to 777 g/t Ag, averaging 151.4 g/t Ag in a quartz-carbonate veins with massive pyrite-sphalerite within a Jurassic tuff breccia. This mineralization is analogue to that  intersected in the 2021 drilling and is located 100 metres south of any drilling completed in the area.

The NN Zone is located at the northernmost end of the Willoughby nunataq, 150 metres north of the North zone. Surface reconnaissance outlined an extension of a wide mineralized north-northwest striking structure comparable to the North fault. These steeply dipping structures are linked to bonanza grade mineralization at the North zone to the south. A total of 11 grab samples were collected, ranging from 0.38 to 17.45 g/t Au, averaging 4.28 g/t Au, and 2.1 to 598.0 g/t Ag, averaging 159.1 g/t Ag. Highlights include 17.45 g/t Au and 576 g/t Ag in sample B0016021 and 13.60 g/t Au and 598 g/t Ag in sample B0016022.

These encouraging results strengthen the mineralization continuity along the outlined 1,300 metres Willoughby mineralized trend and provide a cost-effective way to test and extend exploration targets on the property. Future work in 2022 is planned to follow up on the mineralization extension at both the Willow, Edge and the North-North zones.

Willoughby Project

The project occurs along the eastern margin of the Cambria Icefield, approximately seven kilometres east of the advanced-stage Red Mountain Deposit owned by Ascot Resources. Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton volcano-sedimentary rocks underlay the property, subsequently intruded by an early Jurassic-aged hornblende-feldspar porphyry, potentially comagmatic with the Goldslide Intrusive suite at the nearby Red Mountain deposit. Intrusive-related mineralized zones consist of primary pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and native gold. Eight gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to date over a one-kilometre strike-length mineralized trend.

QA/QC

Using a hydraulic chisel, an approximate 2 by 2-centimetre channel was sampled continuously along 1 metre sample stations. If the hydraulic chisel was incapable of retrieving a chip from a specific location, a hand chisel was used to assist with the chipping within the limits of the 1 metre station. Chip data observation data were recorded and digitized in the field using MX Deposit, directly sampled into a polyurethane bag, and transported from the field to secure storage in Stewart. 

Surface samples for the 2021 exploration program were labelled and shipped to the laboratory using industry standard chain of custody controls. In addition, the company implements a rigorous Quality Control/Quality Assurance program, including the insertion of Standards, Blanks, and Duplicates at regular intervals in the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance.

Samples were submitted to the ALS Laboratory facility located in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for preparation and analysis. The ALS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. The entire sample is crushed, split into representative sub-samples using a riffle splitter, and subsequently, 250g is pulverized. Analysis for gold is by 30g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption (AAS) finish with a lower limit of 0.005 ppm and an upper limit of 10 ppm. Samples with gold assays greater than 10ppm are re-analyzed using a 30g fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish. Analysis for silver is by 30g fire assay fusion with gravimetric finish with a lower limit of 2ppm and upper limit of 100ppm. Samples with silver assays higher than 100ppm are re-analyzed using a gravimetric silver concentrate method. All samples are also analyzed using a 33 multi-elemental geochemical package by 4-acid digestion (ICP-AES).

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 9, 2021, StrikePoint Gold Inc. (“StrikePoint” or the “Company”) (SKP:TSX.V) (STKXF:OTCQB) is pleased to announce the initial drill results from the 2021 exploration program at the 100%-owned Willoughby gold-silver property, located east of Stewart in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle. 

Results have been received from the first of four areas drilled during the 2021 season targeting extensions to mineralization along strike identified during the 2020 drilling program. Gold-silver mineralization was encountered in all holes. Highlights include:

• • 7.34 g/t Au and 202.85 g/t Ag or 10.24 g/t AuEq over 6.16 meters in W21-109
  • 3.78 g/t Au and 10.45 g/t Ag or 3.93 g/t AuEq over 4.0 meters in W21-110
  • 4.18 g/t Au and 3.47 g/t Ag or 4.23 g/t AuEq over 7.0 meters in W21-110

High-grade gold-silver mineralization encountered in drill hole W21-109 is a step-out of approximately 25 meters down-dip from 2020 intercept W20-106 which intersected 10.04 g/t Au and 5.61 g/t Ag or 10.12 g/t AuEq over 7.72 meters within a broader interval of 4.19 g/t Au and 18.28 g/t Ag over 27.78 meters.

“Willoughby continues to deliver wide, high-grade intervals of gold-silver mineralization in multiple areas.  We are building continuity of structurally-controlled and intrusive-related mineralization and are excited for further incoming results from the rest of the 2021 Willoughby program as well as drill results from our Porter Silver project,” said Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Strikepoint Gold.  

During the 2021 program, 4,050 meters of core drilling in seventeen holes were completed at the Willoughby Property as well as extensive surface chip-channel sampling and mapping of well-exposed, gold-silver mineralization within disseminated to massive sulphides that were follow up to 2020 surface results and in-field observations. The objective of the program was to targets gaps between previously drilled high-grade zones at Willoughby as well as the Willow zone one-kilometer to the north that hosts analogous high-grade mineralization. Assays are currently pending for the remaining 13-holes, as well as all surface sampling results.

Drill holes W20-108 to W20-111 were collared from the same site, testing extensions of the mineralization identified during the 2020 drill program.  Drill hole W21-109 intersected 7.34 g/t Au and 202.85 g/t Ag or 10.24 g/t AuEq over 6.16 meters and W21-110 intersected 2.48 g/t Au and 5.30 g/t Ag or 4.23 g/t AuEq over 4.0 meters and 4.18 g/t Au and 3.47 g/t Ag or 4.23 g/t AuEq over 7.0 meters. These holes are interpreted to occurs within the hanging wall of a shear structure with steep southwest dip associated with dominant sulphide mineralization including semi-massive to sheeted pyrite-galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite. Holes W21-108 & W21-111 stayed in the footwall to the zone, however sheeted vein sets were observed at depth and are interpreted to indicate close proximity to the mineralized structure which is consistent with surface observation.

The causative, diorite intrusive rocks at Willoughby are considered comparable to, and potentially co-magmatic with, the Goldslide intrusive suite associated with mineralization at Ascot’s Red Mountain deposit, located seven kilometers west of the property. These intrusive sills are interpreted to have pooled gold bearing-sulphides in permissive Jurassic-aged volcanic rock package below the intrusion creating wide areas of disseminated gold-silver mineralization. This was encountered in the following intercepts: W21-108 1.24 g/t Au and 1.51 g/t Ag over 15-meters, W21-109 2.66 g/t Au and 13.18 g/t Ag over 4.7 meters, W21-110 1.60 g/t Au and 3.19 g/t Ag over 8.5 meters, and W21-111 0.86 g/t Au and 1.70 g/t Ag over 11.0 meters.

Willoughby Gold-Silver Project

Willoughby is located along the eastern margin of the Cambria Icefield, approximately seven kilometres east of Ascot Resources advanced-staged Red Mountain deposit. The property is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton volcano-sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by an early Jurassic-aged hornblende-feldspar porphyry, potentially comagmatic with the Goldslide Intrusive suite at Red Mountain deposit. Intrusive-related, structurally-controlled and replacement-style mineralized linked consist of primary pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, native gold. Eight gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to-date over a one-kilometre strike-length mineralization trend.

QA/QC

Samples for the 2021 exploration program were all NQ sized (47.6mm diameter) drill core labelled, sawn in half, with one-half placed in sealed bags and shipped with a chain of custody controls to the laboratory. The remaining drill core is subsequently securely stored in Stewart, BC. The company implements a rigorous Quality Control/Quality Assurance program, including the insertion of standards, blanks, and duplicates at regular intervals in the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance.

Drill core samples are submitted to the ALS Geochemistry facility in Terrace, British Columbia, for preparation and subsequently to the ALS Geochemistry facility in North Vancouver for analysis. The ALS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. The entire sample is crushed, split into a representative sub-sample using a riffle splitter, and subsequently, 250 g is pulverized. Analysis for gold is by 30g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption (AAS) finish with a lower limit of 0.005 ppm and an upper limit of 10ppm. Samples with gold assays greater than 10ppm are re-analyzed using a 30g fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish. Analysis for silver is by 30 g fire assay fusion with gravimetric finish with a lower limit of 0.5 ppm and an upper limit of 100 ppm. Samples with silver assays greater than 100 ppm are re-analyzed using a gravimetric silver concentrate method. All samples are also analyzed using a 33 multi-elemental geochemical package by 4-acid digestion (ICP-AES).

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 31, 2021) – StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV: SKP) (OTCQB: STKXF) (“StrikePoint” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update for ongoing exploration during the 2021 field season at its 100%-owned Porter Silver and Willoughby gold-silver projects located east of the mining town of Stewart in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle. The Company also announces that Carol Li has resigned from the Board of Directors.

StrikePoint’s President and CEO, Shawn Khunkhun states, “The Golden Triangle is home to some of the largest and richest silver mines on the planet, with over 800 million oz’s discovered to date. This drill program at Porter gives our shareholders exposure to the largest, historic pure silver producers in the Stewart area. Additionally, we continue to drill at multiple, high-grade gold-silver targets at Willoughby, expanding our program with an additional 2,000 meters planned. Finally, I would like to acknowledge Carol’s contributions to the board and wish her success with future endeavours.”

Over 3,700 meters of drilling in 15 core holes have been completed to-date, primarily from the Willoughby Property. All assays are currently pending.

Porter Silver Project

The primary objective of drilling at the Porter Silver Project is to continue to step out from high-grade silver mineralization that was historically mined and direct shipped from multiple structures on the Property: the Prosperity/Porter Idaho and Silverado Mines. Drilling will include targeting extensions to the past-producing D and Blind veins, testing multiple, parallel structures in single drill holes.

The Porter Project host two historically producing, silver-rich vein systems: the Silverado and Prosperity/Porter Idaho. They are located over two kilometers apart, outcropping on opposite sides of Mount Rainey, overlooking the town of Stewart. The Project is located strategically at the head of the Portland Canal, a deep-water port with year-round, ice-free access.

The initial discovery of silver mineralization on Mt. Rainey occurred in the early 1900s. Prosperity-Porter Idaho veins were the focus of the initial work. The mineralization consists of galena-tetrahedrite/tennantite-pyrite hosted in six parallel dipping shear zones, traced 200 meters on the surface and one kilometre down dip with widths between two and thirteen meters. Historic Company and government records document that high-grade silver ore was mined by the Premier Mining between 1929 and 1931 and produced 27,123 tonnes with recovered grades of 2,542 g/t silver (73.8 oz/ton Ag) and 1 g/t gold (yielding approximately 2.2 million ounces of silver). The ore was shipped to tidewater via an aerial tramway and direct shipped to smelters with no concentration required. These production records are historical in nature prior to NI43-101. StrikePoint has not independently verified the figures and they should not be relied upon.

Willoughby Gold-Silver Project

Due to visually encouraging mineralization at the Willoughby Project, StrikePoint has budgeted an additional 2,000 meters of core drilling, testing extensions to multiple high-grade targets. So far in 2021, drilling has targeted the Edge, Icefall, and Wilbie Zones as well as the new Sona-K zone, located 700 metes north of the ‘North Zone’. To-date, drilling as encountered visually encouraging structures and replacement-style mineralization with multiple phases of strong sulphide mineralization, primarily pyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite. Additionally, over 123 meters of channel sampling has been completed at Willoughby, including new areas that have been recently exposed by retreating glaciers.

Willoughby is located along the eastern margin of the Cambria Icefield, approximately seven kilometres east of the advanced-staged Red Mountain Deposit owned by Ascot Resources. Strong, coarse-grained pyrite mineralization proximal to Goldslide porphyry at Willoughby that is visually similar to Red Mountain has been encountered in 2021 drilling.

The Willoughby Property is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton volcano-sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by an early Jurassic-aged hornblende-feldspar porphyry, similar to and potentially comagmatic with the Goldslide Intrusive suite at Red Mountain. Intrusive-related mineralized zones consist of primary pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, native gold. Eight gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to-date over a one-kilometre strike-length mineralization trend.

Vancouver, British Columbia — February 3, 2021, StrikePoint Gold Inc. (“StrikePoint” or the “Company”) (SKP: TSX.V)(STKXF: OTCQB) is pleased to announce drill results from the 2020 exploration drilling program from the 100%-owned Willoughby property located near Stewart in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle.  This drilling program was successful in identifying: 1) a new-high grade discovery at the Edge Zone and 2) long intervals of disseminated gold mineralization at the Wilby area.

“Drill Hole W20-106 represents a geological breakthrough and an important discovery at Willoughby, where we targeted high-grade mineralization in a setting that is similar to other major gold deposits in area.  The intrusive-related, gold-bearing massive and stringer sulphide mineralization at the Edge Zone is wide open for expansion.” said Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of StrikePoint Gold.  “With a strong treasury and successful exploration programs at both the nearby high-grade Porter Silver Property, and the Willoughby Gold-Silver Project we are poised to be the dominant discovery-focused explorer in the Golden Triangle.”

During 2020, in addition to surface mapping and sampling at Willoughby, the Company completed 1,715 meters of drilling in six holes; four tested disseminated gold-silver at the Wilby Zone and two tested for high-grade intrusive-related mineralization at the Edge Zone.  The Property is in a similar geological setting to nearby deposits such as Premier, Brucejack, Red Mountain and Dolly Varden, underlain by sedimentary volcanic, and intrusive rocks of earliest Jurassic age at a contact with older Triassic sediments; the system is overprinted by younger, Tertiary-age mineralization.  Willoughby hosts at least three styles of mineralization in eight known areas, two of which were tested were tested in this drilling program.

Edge Zone

Drill holes W20-106 and W20-107 were exploration holes testing for mineralization with a similar geological control to Ascot’s Red Mountain Deposit, located 7,000 meters west of Willoughby.  Similar to the Marc and AV Zones at Red Mountain, drill hole W20-106 intersected 4.19 g/t Au and 18.28 g/t Ag over 27.78 Meters with a higher-grade zone of 7.72 Meters averaging 10.04 g/t Au and 5.61 g/t Ag.  This hole is interpreted to be contiguous with historic hole 96-88, which intersected 7.62 g/t Au and 1.43 g/t Ag over 11.47 Meters located approximately 40 meters further north and updip also within the footwall to the sill contact. Gold mineralization is hosted within massive, semi-massive, stringer and disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite, sphalerite and minor galena.  This mineralization occurs within the footwall to an early Jurassic diorite sill, the same control to the widest areas at Red Mountain.  Gold bearing-sulphides pooled in permissive host rocks below the sill.  From the same drill pad, the last hole of the program, W20-107 was oriented with a more northerly azimuth and a dip that was too shallow to intersect below the sill, encountering wide intervals of disseminated gold mineralization in the hanging wall to the Edge Zone, including 0.53 g/t Au over 39.50 Meters and 0.51 g/t Au over 32.96 Meters.

Wilby Zone

Drill holes W20-102, W20-103, W20-104, and W20-105 were drilled from the same setup and tested an area of disseminated gold-silver mineralization, with the higher grade 1450 lens occurring within.  This area hosts a different style of mineralization to the Edge Zone, with mineralization associated with brittle fault zones hosted within sediments. The conceptual target was to identify potential for large, early-Jurassic disseminated gold deposits similar to Seabridge’s KSM and Tudor’s Treaty Creek Deposits.

Significant intervals at Wilby include: W20-102 intersected 1.13 g/t Au and 7.19 g/t Ag over 19.47 meters and W20-103 intersected 1.22 g/t Au and 15.65 g/t Ag over 33.50 meters, including 3.54 g/t Au and 48.60 g/t Ag over 7.90 meters (within the 1450 lens).

Coupled with previous drilling, these holes were successful in identifying a broad area of northwest-southeast trending mineralization with wide intervals in excess of 1.0 g/t Au.

Complete drill results from the 2020 Program are as follows:

Willoughby project

Willoughby is located along the eastern margin of the Cambria Icefield, approximately seven kilometres east of the advanced-staged Red Mountain Deposit that was recently acquired by Ascot Resources from IDM Mining. The property is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton volcano-sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by an early Jurassic-aged hornblende-feldspar porphyry, similar to and potentially comagmatic with the Goldslide Intrusive suite at Red Mountain. Intrusive-related mineralized zones consist of primary pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, native gold. Eight gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to-date over a one-kilometre strike-length mineralization trend.

QA/QC

Samples for the 2020 exploration program were all drill core labelled, sawn in half, with one-half placed in sealed bags and shipped with a chain of custody controls to the laboratory. The remaining drill core is subsequently securely stored in Stewart, BC. The company implements a rigorous Quality Control/Quality Assurance program, including the insertion of standards, blanks, and duplicates at regular intervals in the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance.

Drill core samples are submitted to the ALS Geochemistry facility in Terrace, British Columbia, for preparation and subsequently to the ALS Geochemistry facility in North Vancouver for analysis.

Vancouver, British Columbia- January 21, 2021 – StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV: SKP) (OTCQB: STKXF) (“StrikePoint” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce highly encouraging surface sampling results from the 2020 Exploration Program at the 100%-owned Porter silver property, located next to the community of Stewart in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle.

2020 Porter Sampling

Experienced geologists completed detailed 1:2,500 scale mapping and sampling in areas of steep terrain and extensive ice recession, adjacent the historic Silverado mine on the west side of the Property, and at the Prosperity-Porter Idaho Mines located on the east side.  There are no records of mapping or sampling of veins in these newly sampled areas.  This surface exploration program uncovered massive to semi-massive pyrite-galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite polymetallic veins in shear zone at the Prosperity-Porter Idaho and Silverado area.  Assay results of this sampling range from trace to 3,840 g/t Ag, trace to 12.45% Pb, and trace to 5.56 % Zn. A total of 19% of the samples assayed over 20 g/t Ag. Significantly, at the Silverado Mine, extensions to the #2 and #4 veins that were historically developed in the 1920s were discovered, returning 1,170 g/t Ag and 1,385 g/t Ag respectively, in addition to base metal values.  New mineralized structures at Prosperity & Porter Idaho were also identified.

The company received assay results from 80 grab samples collected during 2020 at the Porter project. Surface sampling and mapping during this program were completed at the Prosperity-Porter Idaho and Silverado.

StrikePoint’s CEO, Shawn Khunkhun, states, “Our exploration work on the Porter Property continues to progress, connecting the historic high-grade, direct shipping past producing mines at Prosperity/Porter Idaho on the east side of Mount Rainey with the Silverado Mines on the west side, located over two kilometers away.  We are clearly looking at a high-grade silver vein system located within view of the mining town of Stewart, BC.  With a strong treasury, we look forward to an aggressive drill program in 2021 with the objective of connecting these two famous operations.  Additionally, results from our 2020 drill program at the high-grade Willoughby gold-silver Property will be released shortly.”

Notable geological highlights include:

Prosperity-Porter-Idaho

• 250-meter new mineralized trend, sample B0014310 240 g/t Ag. 1.52% Pb, 0.22% Zn and sample B0014341 112 g/t Ag, 0.11% Pb, 0.90% Zn, parallel to the past-producing Prosperity vein located 130-meter west of the historical adit. Further terrain along strike to the south and west of the newly discovered mineralized trend remains open and highly prospective for additional exploration work
• New prosperity vein surface expression outlined, sample B0014336 182 g/t Ag, 1.125% Pb, 1.81% Zn, thirty meters south of the historical portal for tunnel B & C, strengthening the structural understanding of the mineralization
• 200-meter extension of the D-vein mineralized trend to the north, sample B0014295 76 g/t Ag, 0.979% Pb, 0.58% Zn, narrows the mineralization gap between the past-producing Prosperity-Porter-Idaho and Silverado mines
• Confirmation of historical grade for the Prosperity vein, sample B0014313 1525 g/t Ag, 12.45% Pb, 0.18% Zn and sample B0014345 3,840 g/t Ag, 2.37% Pb, 0.09% Zn, Wake vein, sample B0014323 1,275 g/t Ag, 0.23% Pb, 5.56% Zn

Porter project

The Porter Project contains two shears-hosted silver-rich vein systems: the Silverado and Prosperity-Porter Idaho. The showings are 2km apart, located on opposite sides of Mt. Rainey, overlooking the town of Stewart. The Project is located strategically at the head of the Portland Canal, a deep-water port with year-round, ice-free access.

The initial discovery of silver mineralization on Mt. Rainey occurred in the early 1900s. Prosperity-Porter Idaho veins were the focus of the initial work. The mineralization is hosted in six parallel dipping shear zones, traced 200 meters on the surface and one kilometre down dip with widths between 2 and 13 meters. The vein system was mined between 1929 and 1931 and produced 27,123 tonnes with recovered grades of 2,542 g/t silver (73.8 oz/ton) and 1 g/t gold (yielding approximately 2.2 million ounces of silver). Direct shipping ore was shipped to the port at Stewart via aerial tramway.

QA/QC

Surface samples for the 2020 exploration program were labelled and shipped with a chain of custody controls to the laboratory. The company implements a rigorous Quality Control/Quality Assurance program, including the insertion of Standards, Blanks, and duplicate at regular intervals in the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance.

Drill core samples are submitted to ALS Laboratory. facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for preparation and analysis. The ALS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. The entire sample is crushed, split into representative sub-sample using a riffle splitter, and subsequently, 250g is pulverized. Analysis for gold is by 30g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption (AAS) finish with a lower limit of 0.005 ppm and an upper limit of 10 ppm. Samples with gold assays greater than 10ppm are re-analyzed using a 30g fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish. Analysis for silver is by 30g fire assay fusion with gravimetric finish with a lower limit of 2ppm and an upper limit of 100ppm. Samples with silver assays higher than 100ppm are re-analyzed using a gravimetric silver concentrate method. All samples are also analyzed using a 33 multi-elemental geochemical package by 4-acid digestion (ICP-AES).
