[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2021 / St. Anthony Gold Corp. (\"St. Anthony\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: STAG) (Frankfurt: M1N)(OTC: MTEHF) has received the results of the Metallic Screen assays (\"MSFA\") conducted on previously reported assay results. These assays were used to verify previous results in samples where coarse gold was found or regular fire assays results were greater than 10 GPT Au. The overall gold results for the full metallic screen assays were mixed when compared to the gold fire assay gravimetric results. The results do highlight the nuggety gold distributed throughout the St. Anthony Gold Mine. High-grade samples, plus adjacent shoulder samples, were run for MSFA as a double check of mineralized extents. SA21-15 twinned hole 10-12-SA (1.69 gpt Au/8 m) and produced a final composite of 5.22 gpt/8.4 m over a similar depth. That corresponds to a 300% increase over the 2010 assay results. A deeper interval in 10-12-SA originally ran 0.69 gpt /9 m. The equivalent interval in SA21-15 yielded 6.47 gpt/10 m - a 900% increase in grade. Peter Wilson, CEO of St. Anthony Gold Corp., explains the new results by adding, \"These latest results from the Metallic Screen Assays show some very encouraging values - well beyond anything that we could have initially predicted. With the high end of the spectrum producing 6.47 gpt/10m, we are looking at a 900% increase over the previously assayed values.\" As a result of the confirmation of coarse free milling gold at the St. Anthony Mine, the metallic screen method will be used during the upcoming drill program in addition to standard gold fire assaying, plus the standard 48 geochemical element analysis. ABOUT THE ST. ANTHONY GOLD PROJECT The St. Anthony Gold Mine is located in the Kenora-Patricia Mining District of Ontario and encompasses four historical mining operations including the largest past-producing mine in the area, the St. Anthony. The mine produced 63,310 ounces of gold from 332,720 tons for an average grade of 5.95 grams per tonne (or 0.191 ounces per ton) up until World War II when gold production was halted.
