[{"type":"text","content":"Kenorland Commences Maiden Diamond Drill Program at the Chicobi Project in QuebecVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 4, 2022) - Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: NWRCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) (\"Kenorland\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the Chicobi Project (the \"Project\"), located in the Abitibi greenstone belt of Quebec and held under an earn-in option to joint venture agreement with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Limited (\"SMMCL\"). This maiden diamond drill program will consist of approximately 2,000 meters over 4 holes, testing a coherent gold and multi-element till anomaly (Target B) of approximately 1.5km x 3km in extent. The drill program is scheduled to last approximately three weeks and will be completed near the middle of April. Zach Flood, CEO of Kenorland states, \"We're very excited to begin drilling at Chicobi with our partner SMMCL. Target B is a completely greenfields target generated from multiple campaigns of systematic geochemical sampling beneath extensive glacial cover in the central Abitibi. This environment is a challenge to explore however represents the frontier of exploration in one of the world's most productive mineral provinces.\"Figure 1.

Between 2019 and 2021 a multi-phase targeting strategy of three successive sonic drilling campaigns has targeted the glacial till dispersal signatures below the clays allowing for the systematic evaluation of the prospective Archaean bedrock geology. Several gold-in-till anomalies were identified across the property in fine fraction assays, heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) assays, and gold grain counts. (see press release dated October 6, 2021).Target B returned a coherent gold-in-till anomaly coincident with elevated Cu, Ag, As and Sb values. Top of bedrock observations from the sonic drilling campaign combined with geophysical interpretations have indicated a major contact between sedimentary rocks including iron formation and sericite-chlori...
