[{"type":"text","content":"Maple Gold Mobilizes Drill Rig to NW Zone and Provides Drill Campaign UpdateMontreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - February 24, 2020) - Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G) (\"Maple Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that a drill rig has been mobilized to the NW Zone where drilling has commenced with a single drill-hole to test the lateral continuity of near-surface high grade mineralisation. Following the completion of the NW Zone drill-hole, the Company plans to start drilling priority targets within the Nika Zone (4-5 holes planned) and western part of the Porphyry Zone (8-9 holes planned, see Figure 1 below).Fig. 1: Distribution of 2020 drill sites on LiDAR base.

Drill core for these two drill holes has been shipped to ALS Laboratories with assays pending. The Company also believes there is significant potential to add higher grade ounces along trend to the southeast and has several additional sites permitted there for subsequent drilling. Maple Gold recently completed IP work (see press release January 29, 2020), which included three (3) test lines also covering the potential south-southeast extensions at the 531 Zone. If results provide further support for the Company's existing expanded target concept, additional drilling at the 531 Zone will receive elevated priority and will be planned accordingly.NW Zone - Drilling underwayNot unlike at the 531 Zone, there has been no recent drilling within the NW Zone resource area, except for a few step-out holes collared outside the resource area in 2017 and 2018. As demonstrated by Maple Gold's 3D-model-guided drill-hole at the 531 Zone last year, the potential for new ideas and updated interpretations to lead to the discovery of significantly broader and higher grade mineralisation is high at the Douay Project. The hole to be drilled h...
