[{"type":"text","content":"MinKap Announces Completion of Ground Exploration Program at Breccia Gold Property, Idaho and Corporate UpdateToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2020) - MinKap Resources Inc. (TSXV: KAP) (\"MinKap\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that further to its press release of September 28, 2020, the phase 1 ground exploration program has been completed at the Breccia Gold property, located in Lemhi County, Idaho, USA (the \"Breccia Gold Property\"). A total of 185 rock samples and 430 soil samples were taken and submitted for analyses to Activation Laboratories in Kamloops, British Columbia. The results of the analyses will be provided by the Company in a subsequent press release upon receipt thereof.In preparation for fall drilling (which remains subject to the receipt of necessary permitting and drill availability), field crews carried out a property-wide ground magnetic survey and prospected and mapped the northern and eastern portions of the Breccia Gold Property. In addition, a soil sampling grid was expanded across the Breccia Gold Zone and continued eastwards across the Musgrove Mine Trend (\"MMT\"). The MMT runs parallel and approximately 700 m to the east of the Breccia Gold Zone. The MMT was mapped by Noranda (1981) while exploring for cobalt mineralization within the district and several zones of argillic alteration were identified. The most extensive zone of argillic alteration was reported to exceed 500 m in length and is situated within the MinKap Breccia Gold Property. Mineralization was noted in several of the samples taken across the MMT and an expanded soil sampling and prospecting program is being planned to take place this fall if weather conditions allow. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Breccia Gold Property but may not be representative of expected results.Rock and soil samples were collected on site, bagged, sealed and transported by courier to Activation Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025 Certified) in Kamloops, BC. Rock samples are to be analyzed using Activation Laboratories methods 1A2B-30 Fire Assay-AA 30g (Au); 1E3 Aqua Regia \"Partial\" Digestion ICP-OES.
