AlaskaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 13, 2022) - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GPG) (OTCQB: GPTRF) (FSE: GPB) (\"Grande Portage\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to report that it has received very positive acid base accounting (ABA) results from its Herbert Gold Property in S.E. Alaska. ABA tests are done as part of the permitting process to demonstrate what the acid generating potential is for the rocks around the Herbert Gold Deposit. Geochemical Solutions LLC of Colorado, tested a total of eight baseline samples from wallrocks adjacent to the mineralized veins within the Herbert Gold Project area. All ABA samples reported low acid potential and very high neutralization potential such that all rocks are net acid consumers and therefor are unlikely to produce acid. In addition, surface waters were collected to assess chemistries and suspended solids. Geochemical Solutions LLC reports that \"Chemically, the water is very clean with very low total dissolved solids.\"Mr. Ian Klassen, CEO, reports, \"These results demonstrate no potential issues for acid rock drainage at the Herbert Gold Project. The simple metallurgy and lack of identifiable environmental issues assist the company in developing the Herbert Gold Project's NI 43-101 Gold Resource shown below:\"Table 1.
