This drill-hole was selected using the Company's recently established 3D model. This hole was designed to test the down-dip continuity of mineralisation defined from historical drilling in 1992, as well as to test for potential new gold zones to the south. The results stand out not only for their higher grades, but also for grade consistency. This area remains open for the potential discovery of additional similar zones for hundreds of metres to the south, southeast and southwest. Highlighted results for DO-19-262 below (see Table 1):The lower zone gave 51m of 2.81 g/t Au, including 16m of 4.58 g/t Au and 9m of 4.92 g/t Au (from a downhole depth of 378m, or about 320m vertical depth). This intercept was significantly broader and higher grade than the adjacent drill-hole and ended just 3m from the bottom of the hole (remains open down-dip and downhole). New upper zone gave 28m averaging 2.55 g/t Au, including 9m of 4.71 g/t Au from a downhole depth of 302m (estimated vertical depth 255m), a significant broadening of weaker and more limited mineralisation intersected up-dip in the adjacent hole, i.e. a new zone of mixed contact/structural style of gold mineralisation similar to the higher grade Douay West Zone. Excellent potential to extend both zones to depth and make additional discoveries to the south, where there is only very sporadic drilling within a 1.8 x 0.5km target area with favourable geology and geophysics (see Fig. 1).Maple Gold's President and CEO, Matthew Hornor, commented: \"It is highly encouraging to receive results of this quality from one of the drill-holes we selected using our new 3D model. Discovering a new higher-grade gold zone and having the room and positive indicators in place to expand on this success is a very exciting development for our team that demonstrates the continued discovery potential within the greater Douay gold system.\"Click the following link to view drill core ph...
