(TSXV: SKP)(OTCQB: STKXF) (\"StrikePoint\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of an initial 3,000 metre drilling program at its 100%-owned Willoughby property located east of the mining town of Stewart, British Columbia's prolific Golden Triangle.StrikePoint's President and CEO, Shawn Khunkhun states, \"Based on the geological breakthrough that identified precious metal-rich massive sulphides in recent drilling and surface sampling programs, our goal for 2021 is to connect the multiple, high-grade zones that comprise the large, gold-silver rich mineralizing system at Willoughby. With surface mapping and prospecting underway, as well as a second drill to be mobilized shortly to our exceptional high-grade Porter Silver Property, StrikePoint will be one of the most active discovery-focused explorers in the Golden Triangle this season.\"The Willoughby drilling program will step out from 2020's high grade drill intercepts (See StrikePoint News Release February 3, 2021, 10.0 g/t Gold over 7.72 meters), as well as target extensions of mineralization along strike at the Edge Zone, identified during the 2020 surface sampling program and test the extension along strike to the southeast of the mineralized horizon with the objective of connecting multiple mineralized zones that form a northwest trend, the common orientation for the large, Jurassic gold-silver deposits in the Golden Triangle.Willoughby Gold ProjectWilloughby is located along the eastern margin of the Cambria Icefield, approximately seven kilometres east of the advanced-staged Red Mountain deposit that was recently acquired by Ascot Resources from IDM Mining. The property is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton volcano-sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by an early Jurassic-aged hornblende-feldspar porphyry, similar to and potentially comagmatic with the Goldslide Intrusive suite at Red Mountain. Intrusive-related mineralized zones consist of primary pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, native gold. Multiple, high-grade and dissminated gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to-date on the Property.Qual...
