[{"type":"text","content":"Strikepoint Announces 2021 Drill Programs at the High-Grade Porter Silver and Willoughby Gold PropertiesVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2021) - StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV: SKP) (OTCQB: STKXF) (\"StrikePoint\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that its 2021 exploration programs have commenced at its 100%-owned Porter Silver Project and Willoughby gold-silver properties located east of the mining town of Stewart in British Columbia's prolific Golden Triangle. Drilling will commence at the Porter Projects, targeting extensions to known veins and large, regional silver targets within the system that hosts the largest, historic pure silver producers in the Stewart area: the famous Prosperity and Porter-Idaho mines, with drilling to begin at Willoughby mid-summer.StrikePoint's President and CEO, Shawn Khunkhun states, \"Our 2021 drilling programs are the most aggressive in the Company's history. We have two primary objectives for drilling at the Porter Silver Project: 1) step out from high-grade silver mineralization mined in historic stopes at the Prosperity/Porter Idaho and Silverado Mines, and 2) drill the initial holes into the 'Big Flex', targeting the structural intersection of the two prolific vein systems, project to occur under the Silverado ice sheet. At Willoughby, we will continue to step out drill from multiple previous high-grade gold-silver intercepts, building on the technical breakthrough we achieved during the 2020 field season.\"An initial Phase I, 5,000-meter drill program will commence shortly at the Porter Silver Project. Targets include extension to very high-grade silver shoots mined an intersected in historic drill holes at the Prosperity and D-veins. Additionally, drilling will target extensions to the D and Blind veins to the north, and for southern extension to the No. 1 and 2 veins at the Silverado Mine. Northeast-oriented drill holes will target the 'Big Flex' structural intersection of the approximate north-south striking Prosperity trend with the northwest-southeast striking Silverado trend. This is an over 2,300 meter long target between these past-producing silver Mines.Figure 1.
