(\"Antler\") (TSX-V:ANTL) is pleased to provide an update on its Winter 2017 exploration program including ground and airborne geophysical surveys as well as till survey geochemistry results at its Wilding Lake Gold Project (\"Project\") in central Newfoundland. The summer exploration program, to commence the third week of May, will entail detailed and regional soil sampling, prospecting and mapping, mechanical trenching and rock sampling in preparation for a fall drilling program. \n\nSix new bedrock gold occurrences were discovered in 2016 by prospecting and follow-up trenching along recent logging roads and demonstrate a robust gold system that include previously released results of: \n\n\nAlder Zone: 6.0g/t over 8.5m, 8.7g/t over 6.7m and 49.3g/t over 4.6m\nTaz Zone: 28.8g/t over 1.0m, 12.2g/t over 0.9m and 14.6g/t over 0.65m\nElm Zone: 101.5g/t over 0.5m, 93.1g/t over 1.3m, 37.5g/t over 0.9m and 18.0g/t over 1.2m\nExploration Winter 2017 Program Results\n\nTills. A total of 67 widely spaced, excavator-dug, basal till test samples were collected as part of the November 2016 program carried out by Altius Resources Inc. within the Wilding Lake claim block. Sampling targeted both the immediate area surrounding the six new gold occurrences and adjacent to the new logging access roads. These samples were screened at Altius's in-house facility in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, and the fine fractions were sent to ALS Minerals laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario for gold geochemical assay. The program returned twenty-eight sample assay values of >200 ppb Au (206 to 1000 ppb Au, with six samples of 1000 ppb Au). The survey has successfully outlined gold-in-till anomalies associated with the known gold occurrences while also defining new gold anomalies deemed prospective for prospecting, soil sample surveying and trenching follow-up in the summer program. \n\...
