Highlights
Geochemical survey returns strong gold in soil anomalies up to 1.90 and 1.52 g/t
Integration of geochemical and geophysical anomalies with LiDAR and airborne magnetic surveys indicate several compelling targets
Planning of 2022 program, expected to include diamond drilling, is in progress
Commented
The results of the orientation soil geochemical survey announced today are part of the systematic surface exploration completed late fall 2021, and which also included prospecting, mapping and induced polarization geophysical surveys ('IP') over parts of the property selected based on the interpretation of airborne magnetic, LiDAR and surface work completed in spring 2021.
The orientation soil survey on the Grid 1 area centred on the high grade E1 gold occurrence. 128 B-horizon soil samples were collected over an area measuring 1,200 metres east-west by 3,000 metres north-south on 200 metre spaced lines with samples collected every 100 metres. Additional geochemical surveying planned on the E2 and E3 grids was suspended due to the onset of winter conditions; this work will be completed in the spring.

In the east-central part of the grid, one sample returned 1,900 ppb gold (1.90 g/t) and is located at the western end of a weak IP chargeability anomaly which extends 400 metres to the east where it remains open. Additional surveying and geochemical sampling is planned to fully define its extent.
In the southern part of the grid, anomalous gold in soil results correlate with two moderate to strong IP chargeability anomalies that extend for over 600 metres. The IP anomalies have been interpreted as potentially thick bands of altered lithologies enriched in sulphides. These occur in the area proximal to the interpreted contact area between the Bradley
Future Work
Based on the success of the 2021 program, the next phase of work will include detailed geochemical sampling over the E1 grid to further delineate targets as well as complete the previously planned sampling on the E2 and E3 grids. LaSalle is compiling and evaluating all the data collected over the 2021 exploration campaign with the objective of designing a follow-up program to further assess the targets outlined to date and to define drill targets as part of the next work program.
