Reports Surface Samples up to 44,546 Grams per Tonne (1,425 Ounces per Ton) Silver and 16.9 Grams per Tonne Gold from the Porter Project, Stewart, British ColumbiaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 18, 2018) - StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV: SKP) (OTCQB: STKXF) is pleased to announce the first round of surface sample results from the Porter Project near Stewart, British Columbia.These initial assays are encouraging and represent new discoveries of veins and other mineralized features from outside of the historic resource area and support targeting of the two diamond drill rigs currently operating on the project.This is the first round of 192 sample assays returned from the 2018 exploration campaign. Samples ranged from trace to 44,546 grams per tonne silver, trace to 16.9 grams per tonne gold and trace to 3.57% copper. This includes samples collected for general geochemical profiling as well as mineralized samples as StrikePoint continues to build its understanding of this deposit and the geology. All samples in this release were collected from the Porter, Silverado and Handsome Jack targets. At the date of this release, a total of 413 surface samples have been collected across the entire property, and field sampling remains ongoing while good ground conditions prevail. Further results are pending.Figure 1: Surface Sample HighlightsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5044/38698_20180916_SKP_PI_GrabsNRImage_AR.jpgSample X958002 — 44,546 grams per tonne silver (Silverado)This sample was found in one of the gullies above the historic Silverado mine portals and is assumed to have come from an area where ice has retreated in recent years. Although this was a float sample (i.e. not from outcrop), this galena-rich quartz-vein specimen was collected where the topography consists of narrow, steep-sided gullies and so is assumed to have originated from a local vein on the escarpments. Along with silver-bearing galena, this sample also hosted chalcopyrite which resulted in a copper value of 3.57%. This is consistent with field observations where the presence of copper minerals associate with higher-grade silver. In addition, this sample also returned 3.25 grams per tonne gold.Sample X957727 — 25,981 grams per tonne silver (Por...
