Core logging is underway and initial samples have been sent for assaying, with assays pending. \n\n \n\nThe main objective of the drill program was to test the Kama Trend gold bearing structure located just to the south of the Property boundary with Hecla Mining Corporation's (NYSE: HL) Casa Berardi Mine. The Kama Trend structure is a 7 km long by 2 km wide east-west gold bearing structure discovered in the 1980's. It hosts numerous anomalous gold zones with historic assays above 300 ppb gold. The Kama Trend is a carbonatized andesite containing up to 7% arsenopyrite with variable amounts of pyrite.\n\n \n\nHoles CS-19-01, CS-19-02, CS-19-04, CS-19-05, CS-19-06, CS-19-07, and CS-19-08 all intersected the Kama Trend structure with variable widths from 4.5 m up to 18.3 m. In addition, Hole CS-19-03 shows a volcanic breccia in interval 99 m to 114 m with 10% quartz-carbonate veining hosting 5-10% sulfides and ankerite replacement by arsenopyrite. Moreover, numerous cases of ductile deformation have been observed in most holes indicating that other mineralizing events may have occurred. \n\n \n\nQA/QC\n\n \n\nThe exploration program design and interpretation of results is being performed by a qualified person (QP) employing a Quality Assurance / Quality Control Program consistent with industry best practices, including the use of standards and blanks at every 20 samples.\n\n\n\nQualified Person\n\n\n\nThe scientific and technical information in this news release was reviewed and approved by Alain Moreau, P.
