[{"type":"text","content":"Pelangio Commences Drilling at Grenfell Project to Follow Up on Previous High-Grade ResultsTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 22, 2020 / Pelangio Exploration Inc. (TSXV:PX)(OTC PINK:PGXPF) (\"Pelangio\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that a phase 2 drill program has begun at its Grenfell gold project located 10 kilometers (\"km\") northwest of Kirkland Lake Ontario. The phase 2 drill program is expected to run for about two weeks and assay results will be released thereafter.HIGHLIGHTSThe phase 1 drill program returned 314 g/t gold over 1.74 m (uncut) including a higher grade section which assayed 1810 g/t gold over 0.3 m in hole JS2004; as well as a broader gold intercept of 2.5 g/t gold over 26 m (including 9.39 g/t gold over 3m) in hole JS2005 (Reference Press Release March 1, 2020).The phase 2 drill program is designed to further test these results as well as test additional priority targets.The Grenfell Gold Project is comprised of 38 mining cells and eight leased claims covering an area of approximately 6.7 km2, located 10 km northwest of the Town of Kirkland Lake Ontario (see Map 1, Grenfell Project Property Geology).Following further analysis of the successful phase 1 March 2020 drilling program, a number of targets in the vicinity of the old mine workings have been prioritized for this drill program.Ingrid Hibbard, President and CEO commented, \"We are excited to begin the next phase of drilling at our Grenfell gold property. The success from our first drill program this spring is extremely encouraging and we are now further testing these highly prospective targets.\"The priority targets (see Map 2) to be tested in the phase 2 program are as follows:Further evaluation of the strike extension of the northwesterly trending No.6 Vein system. Hole JS2004 returned 2.50 g/t gold over 26 m (including 9.39 g/t gold over 3 m) and hole JS2005 assayed 314 g/t gold over 1.74 m (uncut) in the spring 2020 drill program.Drill testing of the intersection of the No.6 Vein and No.1 Vein for a potential mineralized chute. Historical drifting and sampling on the 250 level of the former mine demonstrated that the No.1 Vein averaged 0.2 oz/ton gold over a width of 3 feet for a strike length of 180 feet. A surface bulk sample of 21.7 tons grading 0.456 oz/ton gold was extracted from a trench on the No.1 Vein.Very limited drillin...
