[{"type":"text","content":"Grande Portage Resources Announces Channel Sample Assay Grading 115.3 g/t Gold over 1.48 ft from the Hangwall Split of the Goat VeinVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2021) - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GPG) (OTCQB: GPTRF) (FSE: GPB) (\"Grande Portage\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce that initial results from surface samples and diamond drilling on its Herbert gold property located S.E Alaska have been returned. Almost 4000 metres of drilling has been accomplished to date.An outcrop of the Hanging Wall strand of the Goat Vein discovered on the edge of the Herbert River was channel sampled with excellent results. The sample consisted of 1.48 feet (45 centimeters) of quartz with disseminated arsenopyrite, galena, pyrite and some visible gold grains. The sample was processed by metallic screening and fire assay and returned 115.3 g/t Au. A prior grab sample of the same vein and location returned 73.63 g/t Au. The multi-element spectrographic results have not been returned. A nearby outcrop containing sheeted quartz-filled fractures was sampled. The quartz veins are narrow but carry strong arsenopyrite and galena and free gold. The grab sample of a 10 cm vein returned 17.92 g/t Au.The two drill rigs operating on the Herbert claims have completed over 4000 meters of the planned 7500 meter program. The following metallic screened fire assayed sample results have been received. Drill hole 21P-3 intercepted 1.61 feet (0.49 meters) of the Goat Vein which returned 9.43 g/t and 1.64 feet (0.50 meters) of the Sleeping Giant vein which shows 14.22 g/t Au. Assay Turnaround TimesThe Company currently estimates 7 to 9 weeks for turnaround of assay results following completion of a drill hole. This time is required to complete core logging, core sampling, transport to the assay lab, assaying, and subsequent QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) validation and check assays. Interested parties are cautioned that significant delays may occur due to backlogs at the lab and possible quality control issues identified by the lab, or the company, with particular samples.Impact of COVID-19Grande Portage is carefully monitoring the public health impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on a daily basis.
