Silver Spruce Prospecting and Geological Program Identifies Drill Targets on Epizonal Arsenopyrite-Quartz-Carbonate Veins and Breccias in Marilyn Claims at Mystery Au Project, Exploits Gold Belt, Newfoundland and Labrador - Seite 2

Recent map staking (see Press Release February 8, 2023) of additional claims tied to both the Marilyn and Till properties effectively doubled property coverage to 148 square kilometres (14,790 ha). The new claims occur adjacent to several gold grain and geochemical anomalies reported from the Company's 2021 and 2022 Phase 1 programs.

A total of twenty-seven (27) rock samples, one hundred and eight (108) soil samples and sixty-five (65) till and soil samples were collected during the recent exploration programs. As per the previous campaigns, the tills, averaging 12kg in weight of screened -¼" or -½" material, were shipped to Nepean, Ontario and submitted to Overburden Drilling Management ("ODM") for processing and gold grain size and morphological analysis. The soil samples were shipped to ALS Global in North Vancouver for gold and multi-element analysis. Rock samples were delivered to Eastern Analytical in Springdale, NL for precious metal and multi-element analysis.

Four holes (two scissor sections) are proposed from the collars TB01 and TB02 to intersect the down-dip projection of the veins.
