(\"Antler\") (TSXV: ANTL) is pleased to provide an update on its continuing 2017 exploration program that includes the discovery of two new zones of mineralization, as well as new gold-in-soil assay results highlighting numerous prospective gold target areas at its 100% owned Wilding Lake Gold Project (\"Project\") in central Newfoundland. \n\nA mechanical trenching program commenced on August 15th on the approximately one kilometre long Birch gold-in-soil anomaly previously described in a press release dated July 26th, 2017 (trenching on additional soil trends named Larch, AT and CE will follow). Initial trenching has resulted in the discovery of two new zones of mineralization (Red Ochre and Raven Zones) that are located close to the contact area between the Rogerson Lake conglomerate and felsic volcanic rocks to the south. \n\nTrenching Program – Red Ochre ZoneThe Red Ochre Zone is located approximately 900 metres (\"m\") to the southwest of the Alder Zone and consists of brittle fracture style quartz veins and quartz stockworks hosted by felsic volcanic rock. Sulphide mineralization predominantly occurs as disseminated and fracture fill pyrite stringers. Two initial rock grab samples collected from the discovery trench while excavation was ongoing yielded gold values of 24.0 grams/tonne (\"g/t\") and 14.3 g/t. Following the initial results, a further three rock grab samples were collected after the trench had been extended and widened. These grab samples returned gold values of 15.2 g/t, 1.9 g/t and 27 parts per billion (ppb). Note that grab samples are selected samples and results are not necessarily indicative of a property's potential and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property. At the time the second group of grab samples were taken, the apparent width of mineralization was app...
