(the “Corporation” or “Kintavar”) (TSX-V: KTR) (FRANKFURT: 58V), is pleased to announce its first channel sample assays from the 2018 summer exploration program. Results from channel samples of 5 trenches out of the 10 completed to date have been received and compiled. The summary of the intersections obtained in these trenches can be seen in Table 1. On the Nasigon corridor, assays from 4 trenches over an area of 2 km in the East-West direction by 600 m in the North-South direction have returned significant copper grades. The Nasigon-Sud composite channel (perpendicular to mineralized horizons), located 100 m south of the Nasigon showing (1.10% Cu and 3.4 g/t Ag over 10 m, see press release November 29, 2017) has returned 0.78% Cu and 4.37 g/t Ag over 8.97 m. The particularity of this trench is that in addition to the mineralized sedimentary units, a late stage extensional system is present which is accompanied by remobilization of copper sulphides. All the four trenches represent four individual horizons which remain open laterally (East-West) and correspond to various geophysical anomalies extending over several hundred meters each. Assays from the final 5 trenches are still pending. The initial drilling program on the Nasigon grid was completed this past week. The copper sedimentary horizons of the Nasigon, Nasigon-Sud and Nasigon-Est trenches were all intersected successfully in the corresponding drill holes and assays are expected in fall. On the Sherlock corridor, a composite channel was completed on the Toby showing which previously returned a grade of 0.89% Cu and 15.3 g/t Ag in grab sample (see press release August 5, 2018). The composite channel sample (perpendicular to the mineralized horizons), which is located 200 m to the East of the Sherlock showing, graded 0.57% Cu and 8.34 g/t Ag over a length of 6.65 m. The marble unit that was sampled is cross-cut by a late dyke on the southern end while the intersection remains open in all directions. The Toby showing is associated with the same ge...
