[{"type":"text","content":"Antler Gold Announces Discovery of the Kranzberg Fault ZoneHalifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 14, 2020) - Antler Gold Inc. (TSXV: ANTL) (\"Antler\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce the delineation of a previously unrecognized significant fault zone now named the Kranzberg Fault Zone. This fault zone, oriented WSW-ENE, is parallel to and shares many similarities to the Karibib Fault Zone which hosts Osino's Twin Hills Project. The associated Kranzberg Gold Trend stretches across Antler's Central Project from the Kranzberg Dome, in the southwest, through Antler's EPL 6162, 7261 (under option) and 7854 (under application) and around Antler's Etiro Dome property (EPL 6550 under option) in the northeast (see map below). In total, Antler holds approximately 20 km of strike length along this gold trend.The Kranzberg Gold Trend contains a number of historical smaller scale mines and prospects including Onguati, Brown Mountain and Western Workings (all previously worked during the 1950's and 1960's). In addition, a number of significant gold in soil and gold in rock anomalies have been historically defined. These gold anomalies are located along the Kranzberg Fault Zone within Antler's EPLs 7261, 6162 and 6550 and contain gold in soil assays of up to 7000 ppb gold and gold in rock assays of up to 80 g/t gold, all against a background of less than 5 ppb gold. Note these results are historic and have not been verified by Antler. The historic mines, prospects and soil anomalies occur in association with folds; faults; fault splays and jogs; and late to post tectonic leucogranite intrusions, all typical of fertile orogenic belts.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5124/55849_5d1bbdd144a48bf4_002full.jpgDan Whittaker, President and CEO of Antler commented, \"We're pleased to have worked with RES on the discovery of the Kranzberg Fault Zone and its associated gold trend. The recognition of this fault zone adds an essential element necessary for the formation of orogenic gold deposits - namely a fluid conduit - and lends new significance to the historic exploration results. We expect our ongoing compilation, digitization and reinterpretation of three decades of historical data taking into account the Kranzberg Fault Zone to provide several additional targets...
