(TSXV: MAE) (\"Maritime\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide assay results from the Hammerdown Gold Project (\"Hammerdown\" or the \"Project\"), in the Baie Verte Mining District of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. These latest drill results include the remaining holes from 2020 at the Orion Main Zone and Orion North target area as well as the initial results from the 2021 drill program (see Figure 1). The remaining assay results from the 2020 drill program at Hammerdown and Whisker Valley will be released in early April.Highlights:Orion North3.3 gpt Au and 1.5 gpt Ag over 6.3 metres (\"m\"), including 90.7 gpt Au and 29.1 gpt Ag over 0.2 m in drill hole BB-21-147 6.2 gpt Au over 1.1 m, including 27.8 gpt Au over 0.2 m in drill hole BB-20-142 Orion Main ZoneThree high grade intervals in drill hole BB-20-145, including; 3.4 gpt Au over 9.0 m, including 17.1 gpt Au over 1.0 m at 60 m and;7.8 gpt Au over 1.0 m, including 35.5 gpt Au over 0.2 m at 78.3 m and;29.3 gpt Au over 0.2 m at 106.6 m\"Further drilling on a new discovery made in late 2020 between the Orion and Hammerdown deposits continues to return high grade gold mineralization over narrow widths close to surface. We believe this area of the Hammerdown deformation zone has tremendous potential for further discoveries and new zones of mineralization that could be added into our future mine plans. By extending the Orion North Zone, we are closing the gap between the Orion and Hammerdown deposits and expanding the footprint of the extensive gold mineralization system,\" commented Garett Macdonald, President and CEO. \"Diamond drilling is underway with two drill rigs testing the extensions of the Orion North Zone and the adjacent, highly conductive anomaly identified by the VTEM survey in late 2020,\" continued Mr. Macdonald.Orion North The Orion North Zone is located 300 m northeast of the Orion Main Zone. On January 7, 2021 Maritime announced the discovery of a new mineralized vein in drill hole BB-20-123 intersecting 22.7 gpt Au over 0.44 m including abundant visible gold at...
