2020 Drilling Highlights
West Zone : 4.0 meters of 10.34 g/t Au and 0.27% Cu in hole JM-20-06W3, extending mineralization 100 meters down plunge from historical intercepts of 5.0 meters of 10.3 g/t Au, 3.2 meters of 16.1 g/t Au, and 3.3 meters of 10.4 g/t AuMain Zone : 1.3 meters of 6.32 g/t Au and 0.52% Cu, including 0.45 meter of 17.7 g/t Au and 1.23% Cu in hole JM 20-02A, confirming the extension of the Main zone below previously mined levels. This intercept is located 120 meters up-dip from historical intercept of 1.88 meters of 26.66 g/t Au and 110 meters from historical intercept of 3.02 meters of 30.3 g/t Au.Far West Zone : 3.0 meters of 10.00 g/t Au in hole JM-20-10, approximately 900 meters along strike from the western extent of the Joe Mann mine
2020 Joe Mann Drilling Program
The Company drilled a total of 8,343 meters testing the former producing
The Company drilled four (4) holes, one near-vertical hole (JM-20-06) and three wedges from that hole (with two using directional drilling) (JM-20-06W1, JM-20-06W2 and JM-20-06W3) to test the extension of the
Hole JM-20-06W3 intersected 4.0 meters of 10.34 g/t Au and 0.27% Cu and at a further 11 meters downhole intersected 0.5 meter of 13.70 g/t Au and 0.42% Cu. These two intercepts are located 100 meters down plunge from the historical intercepts of 5.0 meters of 10.3 g/t Au (hole EW78_D), 3.2 meters of 16.1 g/t Au (hole EW79_D), and 3.3 meters of 10.4 g/t Au (hole EW57_D). It is interpreted that both JM-20-06 and JM-20-06W1 intercepted the structure to the west of the ore plunge structure and therefore did not carry high-grade gold mineralization. Hole JM-20-06W2 intersected the well-defined
Hole JM-20-02A intersected the
The Company completed four (4) holes totaling 1,230 meters with the objective of confirming high-grade mineralized zones. The drilling confirmed the nuggety nature of the

Sample preparation and assays are done at SGS lab in Val-d’Or,
The Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) is done by Doré Copper geologists with oversight from the Exploration Manager. The check samples (blanks and standards – 4% of total samples with another 2% of core duplicates) that were inserted into the sample batches are verified against their certified values and are deemed a pass if they are within 3 standard deviations of the certified value. The duplicates are evaluated against each other to determine mineralization distribution (nugget effect). If there are large discrepancies in the check samples, then the entire batch is requested to be re-assayed.
Historical drilling results disclosed in this news release on the Joe Mann property are taken from the historical database of the Joe Mann mine based on the original drill logs (UG and surface exploration drilling) and from the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Joe Mann Property dated
