[{"type":"text","content":"Kenorland Minerals Announces the Commencement of Drilling at the O'Sullivan Project, QuebecVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2024) - Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) (\"Kenorland\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling at the O'Sullivan Project (the \"Project\"), located in the Abitibi greenstone belt of Quebec and held under an option agreement with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd. (\"Sumitomo\"). Q1 2024 Winter Exploration Program BudgetA total budget of C$1.71 million has been approved by Sumitomo for the Winter 2024 exploration program. The maiden drill program will include up to 4,150m of diamond drilling, comprised of 6 drill holes as an initial test of the Pusticamica North target identified through systematic exploration carried out over the previous three years. The proposed drill plan will test a number of interpreted structure orientations and coincident geophysical features within the mapped northeast trending deformation zone. Kenorland is operator of the Project, and drilling activities are expected to conclude mid-February. Figure 1.

The geophysical surveys covered the coherent gold-in-till anomaly along the northern shore of Lac Pusticamica, associated with strong deformation along a major felsic intrusive-volcanic contact. The drill program was designed to test a 1.6 kilometer strike length of the northeast trending deformation zone along a significant inflection in the granitoid margin, coincident with interpreted east-west structure intersections. Drill holes were targeted to cross chargeability and magnetic anomalies and where their margins coincide with discrete modelled Maxwell Plate EM anomalies...
