(TSXV: GPG) (OTCQB: GPTRF) (FSE: GPB) (\"Grande Portage\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results of is 2019 surface exploration follow-up of promising structures identified from its 2018 LiDAR survey at the Herbert Gold Project near Juneau, Alaska.The highest priority structures investigated were East-West topographic features, which are nearly parallel to the well-mineralized known veins on the Herbert Property, specifically the Main, Goat and Deep Trench Veins. Most of these structures were identified during early geologic reconnaissance of the property in 2007. In 2019 follow-up began with closeup helicopter flights to locate areas with visible iron-stained alteration, shearing, outcropping veins, and also to scope out possible foot access to the structures. The majority of the structures occur to the south of the Deep Trench Vein and crosscut the Herbert Ridge. Please see link for outline of sampling areas: https://www.grandeportage.com/projects/herbert-gold-project/One of these structures which crosses the Herbert Ridge approximately 1500 meters southwest of the Deep Trench Vein can be followed on the ground and LiDAR maps for at least 1.5 kilometers. Where this fault zone crosses the Herbert Ridge there is no outcrop but areas of Fe-stained and altered float material and quartz were found at the surface directly over the fault projection. Sample #56618 of this float returned values of 3.5 gpt/Au, 8.1 gpt/Ag, .071%/Pb and .021%/Zn. This float sample assayed highly anomalous values of the other pathfinder elements commonly associated with gold. Just east of the Herbert ridgetop approximately 170 meters north of the structure where sample #56618 was collected lies an area which has produced significant gold in assay samples. As there were no outcrops, the samples consist of small chunks of mineralized vein material in the float. Sample #147247, taken in 2007 (not previously released), returned 42.1 gpt/Au and one taken in 2013 (not previously released) returned 63.7 gpt/Au, 168 gpt/Ag, 0.42%/Pb and 0.52%/Zn. This area appears to be in an intersection zone where several structures meet...
