"Our soil sampling program has continued to successfully identify new gold zones and lead to significant discoveries across our vast portfolio of properties,” stated Jodie Gibson, VP of Exploration. “The Titan gold in soil grade at Hen is the highest we have ever recorded in the White Gold District. Ongoing follow-up activities which have also identified the presence of visual gold make the Titan a very exciting and highly prospective drill target. Located 15km from the Vertigo, this discovery is further evidence of a potential major gold system in the placer-rich Henderson Creek region that we are starting to tap into.”
Titan Discovery:The Titan target is located on the Hen property, adjacent to the JP Ross on the west, and approximately 15km to the WNW of the Vertigo. A N-S oriented soil grid was placed over the area (100m spaced lines x 50m spaced samples) to follow up on historic soils in the area with anomalous gold (>100 ppb Au) & copper values.
Sampling returned values ranging from trace to >100,000 ppb Au (>100 g/t Au); the highest soil value within the Company’s soil database for the White Gold District comprised of over 400,000 samples. A follow up fire assay on the >100,000 ppb Au sample and rock samples collected from the area are in progress and the results are pending. The anomalous gold in soils form an approximate 500m N-S trending target and occurs within a circular magnetic low feature covering a 750m x 750m area and may indicate a buried intrusion with potential for porphyry and/or skarn style mineralization. A broad zone of anomalous Cu in soils (>100 ppm Cu; up to 1,395 ppm Cu) is also coincident with the magnetic feature, which appears to occur near the intersection of N-S and NE trending faults.
Prior to the Titan, the highest soil sample in the Company’s database was 9,019 ppb Au from the Donahue target on the White Gold property. The maximum soil values from other well-defined targets in the Company’s portfolio for comparison are present below:
Property | Target | Max Soil Value - Au(ppb) | ||
White Gold Property | Golden Saddle | 426 | ||
White Gold Property | Arc | 1,241 | ||
JP Ross Property | Vertigo | 3,167 | ||
QV Property | VG | 1,277 | ||
Hen Property | Titan | >100,000 |
The Hen property is situated within a prolific placer mining camp. Abundant, coarse placer gold has been recovered from creek gravels on North Henderson Creek immediately east of the Titan target. Additionally, the structural and geologic setting of the Hen indicate mineralization in the area is congruent with mineralized structures identified by the Company on the adjacent JP Ross property.
Preliminary follow up investigation of the highly anomalous gold in soil sample included the excavation of a pit overtop of the >100,000 ppb Au soil sample to an approximate depth of 90cm; the same depth as the soil sample. At that depth, subcrop of strongly quartz-sericite altered mafic gneiss with up to 5% disseminated magnetite and fine-grained specks of visible gold was encountered.
Additional ongoing follow up work on the target is ongoing and includes geologic mapping and prospecting, geophysical surveys and GT Probe sampling with a goal of defining drill locations on the target for later this season.

Regional Exploration Update:A total of 13,302 soil samples have been collected on 12 of the Company’s regional properties. The sampling was conducted to follow up and/or expand upon previous known anomalous areas, evaluate new target areas, and/or for assessment purposes.
Multiple new trends and targets were defined from this soil sampling with follow up work ongoing, including GT Probe sampling, geophysical surveys, trenching, geologic mapping, prospecting, and RAB drilling, with related results to be released in due course.
A summary of the soils collected per property and range of assays returned to date are detailed in Table 1 below. Outside of the Hen, highlights include results from the Nolan, QV, and Wolf properties, with these discussed in more detail below.

Regional Target Highlights:
Nolan:A total of 3,152 samples were collected on the Nolan over four grids. The best results were returned from two grids in the Mount Hart area on the southeastern end of the property. The northern grid extended a historic grid 1,500m to the east and returned clusters of anomalous results expanding known soil anomalies in the area. The southern grid expanded the historic grid 1,500m to the south and uncovered a new 550m NW trending zone of anomalous gold in soils ranging from trace to 525.3 ppb Au. All together, at least five distinct anomalous zones are currently recognised on the Hart and dominantly occur within felsic-mafic volcanic units adjacent to Cretaceous granitic intrusive:
Hart N1:
Hart N2
Hart S1
Hart S2
Hart S3
Wolf:A total of 666 samples collected over 1 grid designed to expand grid coverage and known anomalies to the NE of the Wolf onto the Flow claims acquired from Independence Gold in 2018. The grid returned gold values ranging from trace to 247.2 ppb Au and expanded the zone of anomalous gold in soils in the area by approximately 1km. The anomaly occurs on the northern flank of Wolf Mt. and covers an approximate 1,400m x 300m E-W corridor associated with anomalous Ag, As, Bi, Pb +/- Cu and covers the contact of a Cretaceous granitic intrusive, adjacent gneiss/schist, and overlying felsic-intermediate volcanic units.
QV:A total of 1,466 soil samples were collected over two grids on the QV and adjacent Yellow properties. The most significant results were from a previously unsampled area in the central portion of the QV property and included samples ranging from trace to 106.2 ppb Au. This includes expansion of the Tetra zone approximately 600m to the west, and the Tetra target now covers a 1,300m x 1,000m area and is associated with an E-W trending magnetic low interpreted as a potentially mineralized structure. The Tetra target is located approximately 8.5km north of the VG Zone, which hosts an Inferred Resource of 230,000 oz Au(1). A total of 8 RC holes for 855m were drilled on the VG deposit by the Company in 2019. Results for the RC drilling is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

QA/QCThe analytical work for the 2019 program is being performed by ALS Canada Ltd. (ALS) and Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (BV), both internationally recognized analytical services provider, at their respective Vancouver, British Columbia laboratories. Sample preparation was carried out at their Whitehorse, Yukon facilities. All rock, GT Probe, RC chip, and diamond core samples were submitted to ALS and were prepared using procedure PREP-31H (crush 90% less than 2mm, riffle split off 500g, pulverize split to better than 85% passing 75 microns) and analyzed by method Au-AA23 (30g fire assay with AAS finish) and ME-ICP41 (0.5g, aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES analysis). Samples containing >10g/t Au are reanalyzed using method Au-GRAV21 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish). All soil samples were submitted to BV and were prepared using procedure SS80 (dry at 60 C and sieve 100g at -80 mesh) and analyzed by method AQ201 (aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS analysis).
The reported work will be completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of certified standard, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream.
