[{"type":"text","content":"Maritime Announces 4.8 gpt Gold over 13.6 Metres at Orion, Including 7.0 gpt Gold over 8.1 MetresToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 19, 2021) -  Maritime Resources Corp. (TSXV: MAE) (\"Maritime\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide assay results from six additional diamond drill holes at the Orion deposit (\"Orion\"), in the Baie Verte Mining District of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Orion deposit lies approximately 1.5 km southwest of the Company's Hammerdown project.Highlights:2.2 gpt Au over 21.0 metres (\"m\"), including 3.2 gpt Au over 5.8 m in drill hole BB-20-131 8.0 gpt Au over 5.0 m, including 11.4 gpt Au over 3.1 m in drill hole BB-20-132 4.8 gpt Au over 13.6 m, including 7.0 gpt Au over 8.1 m in drill hole BB-20-133 3.0 gpt Au over 14.0 m, including 4.9 gpt Au over 8.0 m in drill hole BB-20-1353.5 gpt Au over 4.0 m in drill hole BB-20-136 \"Over the last few months, we have seen an important style of mineralization emerging at Hammerdown's Wisteria zone and now at Orion, characterized by wide intervals of consistent grade within a structurally controlled felsic schist unit. Later this month, two diamond drill rigs will be mobilized to Orion to continue defining this promising new zone that is open in all directions and to test the 1.5 km unexplored gap towards the new Orion North conductive anomaly and the Hammerdown deposit,\" commented Garett Macdonald, President and CEO. \"We recently expanded our land holdings in the area and are optimistic at the potential for further exciting discoveries in the core area of the Hammerdown Gold Project,\" continued Mr. Macdonald. Drilling at Orion Continues to Intersect High Grade Gold Over Wide IntervalsAdditional drilling in late 2020 was completed at Orion to follow up on the high grade gold results intersected in drill hole BB-20-130 which returned 5.2 gpt Au over 13.0 m, including 8.4 gpt Au over 3.9 m, at a depth of 100 m below surface (see News Release dated January 7, 2021). Drill holes BB-20-131, BB-20-132, BB-20-133, and BB-20-136 were drilled on the same section, 553895 E (Figure 1), and all holes intersected the zone at varying elevations. The sub-vertical zone is now traced from surface to a depth of over vertical 150 m along this section, displaying excellent continuity in width and grade distribution. Drill hole BB-20-131 intersected th...
