[{"type":"text","content":"Maple Gold Summarizes Winter Drilling at the Nika ZoneMontreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2020) - Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G) (\"Maple Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report further assay results from its 2020 winter drilling campaign at the Douay Project, following positive drill results reported previously for 531, NW and Western Porphyry Zones, as well as significant IP anomalies in the 531 Zone, Main Zone and NE Vezza-style target areas. Drilling at the Nika Zone included four planned drillholes (see Fig 1). Highlights from the Nika Zone drilling are summarized below:➢ DO-20-279 intersected 0.95 g/t Au over 6m within a broader interval of 0.50 g/t Au over 26m starting from only 64m downhole, including several additional narrow shallow intercepts of greater than 1 g/t Au between 110 and 136m downhole➢ DO-20-275 intersected multiple intervals of >1 g/t Au starting at 110m downhole, including 2.55g/t Au, 1.26 g/t Au and 5.30 g/t Au, all over 1m each, as well as 0.61 g/t Au over 10m near the end of the hole. ➢ DO-20-282, planned to about 400m depth, had to be abandoned at only 120m as a result of the COVID-19 related work stoppage; it cut 2m of 1.40 g/t Au from 101m downhole and ended in mineralizationMaple Gold's VP, Exploration, Fred Speidel, commented: \"The Nika Zone, with new resources added in the 2019 resource estimation update (RPA 2019), remains relatively sparsely drilled with significant remaining exploration potential. Unfortunately, due to ground conditions and to the untimely work stoppage related to COVID-19, only two of the four holes drilled in this area achieved their planned depth. Given those limitations, we are encouraged to have intersected a mineralized zone starting from only 64m downhole in DO-20-279, cut grades up to 5.30 g/t Au in DO-20-275 and have our last drillhole (DO-20-282) bottom in mineralization before the local shutdown took place.\" Fig. 1: Drill plan for Nika Zone on total field tilt aeromagnetic base.
