[{"type":"text","content":"Grande Portage Resources Announces Outstanding Outcrop Sample on Goat Vein Grading 231 GPT/Gold (6.75 Ounces) with 49.8 GPT/Silver - Drill Results Expected SoonVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2017) - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GPG) (\"Grande Portage\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce that it has drilled approximately 2700 meters of its planned 3700 meter summer exploration program on its Herbert Gold project located 25km north of Juneau, Alaska. The drill program is designed to extend testing of three separate major veins and their satellite structures.Ten holes have now been completed from three drill pad locations. The majority of these holes were designed to expand the strike length of the current northernmost drilled vein (Goat Vein) and to also intercept the Main vein. All holes had good visuals including quartz with disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite, galena and sphalerite and visible gold was observed in the core. Fire assay analyses from ALS Canada Ltd. are expected imminently on the first few holes. Split core samples from the hearts of the veins are analyzed using the metallic screening process to capture coarse gold which could otherwise be lost during processing.Pads K and L (160 meters apart) were built approximately 100 meters north of the east-west trending Goat vein. All holes intersected the main structure and showed good mineralization with associated hydrothermal alteration. These intercepts in the drill holes establish a strike length of over 350 meters, however, when combined with a discovery of new outcrops along the eastward projection of the vein, a total of approximately 700 meters of strike length is now indicated. The deepest drilling to date shows good visuals over 200 meters from surface. In addition, one of the holes from Pad L extended southward to the Main vein system intersecting 15 meters of mineralized structure. One of the newly discovered outcrops of the Goat vein was recently exposed by the rapid erosion of loose boulders and gravel which previously covered the vein. The vein here consists of approximately 4 feet of quartz outcrop with disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite, galena and sphalerite and visible gold. Hanging wall alteration of the quartz diorite host rock reaches at least 6 feet thick and the footwall contact zone is covered in the cree...
