(TSXV: GPG) (OTCQB: GPTRF) (FSE: GPB) (\"Grande Portage\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the first results from its field program at the Herbert Gold Project near Juneau, Alaska.The program consisted of trenching and channel sampling on the Main Vein, it's North Strand and on the Deep Trench Vein. Two of the channel samples were submitted to the laboratory for metallurgical testing. In addition to sampling known veins, comprehensive geologic mapping, sampling, and prospecting was focused on new areas where the Company's recent LiDAR survey revealed numerous structures which could be targets for additional discoveries of mineralized veins. One of the samples from the Deep Trench Vein was cut near the central portion of the E-W striking, steeply N-dipping quartz vein, and showed 5.03 g/t gold over 0.46 meters true width, or if sheared wallrock is included with the quartz vein it returned 2.48 g/t gold over 2.54 meters true width. The second area sampled on the Deep Trench lies near the western end of the structure and was taken for the purposes of metallurgical testing. Preliminary results on this sample consist of a fire assay returned values of 18.09 g/t gold and 10 g/t silver over a true width of 1.65 meters.Three channel samples were cut on the Main Vein, one of which also had a bulk sample removed from the surface exposure. The western most sample contained 8.217 g/t gold over 1.64 meters. The central sample returned 6.06 g/t gold over 1.26 meters and the third sample which was removed approximately 265 meters east of the furthest west sample returned 1.636 g/t gold over 2.51 meters using a weighted average. The North Strand of the Main Vein was also sampled by channels in two locations. The western sample showed 15.32 g/t gold over 1.79 meters and the second, about 140 meters to the east, assayed 5.27 g/t gold over 1.58 meters which includes 0.33 meters of 24.54 g/t gold.Ian Klassen, Company President remarked \"The parallel quartz vein structures located at the Herbert continue to confirm a pervasiveness of gold bearing quartz. These assay results will be tabulated and inco...
