(\"Tres-Or\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: TRS, OTCPK: TRSFF) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing 3D modelling initiative and exploration plans, as well as a review of historical data for the Fontana Gold Project, the Company's flagship project located 10 km northeast of Amos, and 65 km north of Val-d'Or, Quebec.\n\n\n\nFontana was originally discovered in the 1930s, and has been the subject of considerable historical work including a 92 m shaft, 242 m of underground galleries, 350 drill holes, surface samples and 22,047 tonnes of bulk samples yielding a reported 1438 ounces of gold (see Map 1 and NR December 8, 2017).  Most of the work (e.g. 220 drill holes, and 22,000 tonnes of bulk samples) was completed in the late 1980s, when gold was around US$350 an ounce.  No work occurred on the Project between 1991 and 2012.  Multiple high-interest gold zones were identified within the Fontana project area.  Based on a review of the historical data, Tres-Or has identified four high-priority targets: the Hooper-Bunkhouse zone, Zone 27, the Fontana shaft area and the Toughie zone.  \n\n\"Fontana is the heart of the Amos gold district, and Tres-Or's ongoing compilation and 3D modelling of past results appears to point encouragingly towards a significant gold opportunity.  Tres-Or is excited to be advancing the promising Fontana Gold Project with plans for a substantial drill program,\" said Laura Lee Duffett, Tres-Or's President and CEO.\n\n\n\nTres-Or's review of the data reports from the late 1980s and earlier, including the reported recovery of 1438 ounces of gold from the bulk samples (at an average grade of 2.04 grams Au per metric tonne), as well as identification of multiple priority gold zones with signi...
