[{"type":"text","content":"Kenorland Commences Exploration at the South Uchi Project, OntarioVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 15, 2023) - Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) (\"Kenorland\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a large-scale surface exploration program at its 100% owned South Uchi Project (the \"Project\"), located in the Red Lake District of northwestern Ontario.2023 Surface Exploration ProgramThe 2023 surface exploration program includes detailed glacial till geochemical surveys and prospecting efforts covering several areas targeting gold, nickel-copper, and lithium mineral systems. This program follows the 2021 and 2022 regional property-scale geochemical surveys completed while the Project was under option to Barrick Gold (see press release dated January 19, 2023). The current 2023 survey will include the collection of approximately 3,300 fine-fraction till samples over priority gold and nickel-copper target areas as well as 700 heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) till samples covering multiple lithium target areas. Given the very limited amount of historical exploration across the property, and especially within these target areas, the Company believes there is significant potential to make new discoveries.Nickel-CopperFigure 1.

Sampling returned nickel values up to 674 ppm and copper up to 306 ppm in till, potentially indicating a bedrock source of mineralisation below cover. Elevated levels of sulfur (S) were also observed within the Ni-Cu anomaly, which occurs in an area broadly mapped as mafic-ultramafic rocks, suggesting the potential to host magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide mineralisation. Approximately 1,900 soil (till substrate) samples will be collected on a high-resolution grid (50m x 100m) to define areas for future detailed geophysical surveys and drill targeting.GoldFigure 2.
