Read, P. Geo., Senior Vice President Exploration and Development of Shore Gold Inc. (\"Shore\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that Shore has commenced an NQ core drilling program, consisting of up to twenty four holes and some 5,000 metres of drilling, on the Orion South and Star West Kimberlites located within the claims of the Fort a la Corne Joint Venture (\"FALC-JV\"). This core drilling is required to further expand the internal stratigraphy of the Orion South and Star Kimberlites extending and in-filling geological continuity from the successful program of 2015.

These four holes within the Snowden claims will provide a better understanding of the internal structure of these kimberlites. Shore geologists are responsible for the supervision of the drilling programs and subsequent detailed core logging. \n\nSenior Vice President Exploration and Development, George Read, states: \"The core drilling program on Star West and Orion South is an important extension to the 2015 core drilling program. The selected locations of these core holes augment the 100 metre grid drilling program already completed on the Orion South Kimberlite and previous drill programs on the Star Kimberlite and can assist in further extending the mineral resources and geological models of both the Star and Orion South Kimberlites. The Company intends to optimise the previous Feasibility Study with a revised mine plan, where n...
