(TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) (\"Kenorland\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling at the Chebistuan Project, located in the northern Abitibi greenstone belt of Quebec, and held under an exploration agreement with Newmont Corporation (\"Newmont\").2023 Exploration Program and BudgetA total exploration budget of C$1.5 million has been approved by Newmont for the 2023 winter exploration program. The program will include 3,500m of diamond drilling including three drill fences to test bedrock across a structural corridor at the Deux Orignaux target area. Drilling activities will be carried out from late February to early April 2023. Figure 1.

The target area is spatially associated with the regional contact between a clastic sedimentary basin (Opemiska Group) and volcanic rocks along a first order basin bounding structure. Multiple second-order structures occur at oblique angles to the basin-bounding structure in the form of a \"horse-tail splay\" structural pattern, prospective for orogenic gold deposition.Figure 2.

Approximately 1 kilogram of material was collected from each sample site and shipped to Bureau Veritas (“BV”) in Timmins, Ontario for preparation. Samples were prepared for analysis according to BV method SS230; sieve individual samples to 230 mesh (-63 microns). Samples were analysed at BV in Vancouver, British Columbia with BV method AQ2...
