(TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) (\"Kenorland\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the grassroots discovery of an intrusion-related gold system during the maiden diamond drill program at the Chebistuan Project, located in the northern Abitibi greenstone belt of Quebec, and held under an exploration agreement with Newmont Corporation (\"Newmont\"). Results from 2,170m of drilling, including seven drill holes, are reported herein. Drill HighlightsSeven shallow holes, up to 358m in length were drilled along two fences to test across a structural and magnetic corridor within the Deux Orignaux target area. Along the eastern drill fence, hole 23DODD005 intersected a mineralised porphyritic syenite intrusion over 157.20m averaging 0.41 g/t Au from 84.41m to 241.61m downhole, including 20.61m at 0.97 g/t Au with individual samples returning up to 7.14 g/t Au over 0.31m along the northern contact zone. The intrusion is mineralised throughout with minor disseminated pyrite and trace sphalerite associated with pervasive potassic and albite alteration (Kspar-albite-quartz-hematite-carbonate-sericite alteration assemblage). Hole 23DODD004 undercut 23DODD005, returning 21.50m at 0.40g/t Au, incl. 8.50m at 0.72 g/t Au, along the southern contact with the syenite and ended in mineralisation.Figure 1.

Following over two years of systematic geochemical exploration, initially covering over 178,000 hectares of ground, we managed to make this discovery with a very limited initial drill program, and we believe we've only scratched the surface of this intrusion-related gold system. We're very excited to see how this evolves moving forward.\"The mineralised intrusion at Deux Orignaux, defined by coi...
