The sample was collected from the Company's 100%-owned West Matachewan project located 25 kilometres along the Cadillac-Larder break west from Alamos Gold's Young Davidson Mine. Previous assays of surface grab samples collected from the vein returned values up to 12,700 g/t (408 oz/t Au)1 and chip sampling completed across the vein in a number of locations returned results ranging from 0.20 g/t Au over 0.90 metres up to 2,060 g/t Au (66.2 oz Au/t) over 0.80 metres2.      \n\nCanadian Gold Miner CEO Greg Collins summarized, \"We are pleased that a larger and more representative sample than had been previously collected returned such excellent grades at an occurrence situated so close to the Cadillac Larder Break. At this point, I will caution that the economic significance of the results remains poorly understood. Additional work is required to outline the full extent of mineralization associated with this showing and to determine if there is wider spread mineralization or other similar Bonanza-style occurrences elsewhere on the property.\"\n\nThe sample was collected in July of 2016, as part of a program to further investigate the gold occurrence and to collect a more representative sample of vein material to assess overall grade. A mechanical excavator exposed a zone of veining over a strike length of 35 metres with an average true thickness of 1 metre. The zone, consists of quartz-carbonate veining and silicification developed along a faulted contact between ...
