[{"type":"text","content":"Xplore Reports 7.83 g/t Au in Till at Upper Red LakeToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2022) - Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) (\"Xplore or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce anomalous gold in till sample results obtained from the Upper Red Lake Property (the \"Property\" or \"URL\") located in the Red Lake Mining District, Ontario.Reconnaissance gold in till sampling confirms highly anomalous gold grain counts75% of the sample population returned gold grain counts in the upper decile of regional till sampling completed by the Geological Survey of Canada (\"GSC\")Pristine and modified gold grains comprise +60% of populationBest gold in till results coincident with areas of magnetic destructionResults include 7834 ppb Au, the highest gold tenor returned to date within the claimsAdjacent to Prosper Gold's Golden Sidewalk gold in till anomalyWaldo Sciences Inc., Vernon, B.C. (\"Waldo\"), completed a two-week reconnaissance mapping and sampling program on the Property in October 2021. Onset of winter conditions limited Waldo's coverage to the C1, 2 and 3 target areas (Ref. December 14, 2021, XPLR Press Release). Target C1, a 2200 meter linear, east-west trending magnetic high, coincident with an intrusive-greenstone contact was highlighted by the gold in till results. Targets C2 and C3 further south may represent the continuation of Prosper Gold Corporations' \"Golden Corridor\" target, a 7 km x 0.5 km gold in till anomaly currently being drilled to the east of Upper Red Lake.Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Xplore, comments: \"It's always gratifying when the initial samples from a property return anomalous results but these initial results from the Upper Red Lake property exceeded our expectations. Over 60% of the described gold grains were classified as pristine (less than 100 meters from source) or modified (less than 1000 meters from source). At the C1 target, 90% of the till samples returned total and pristine gold grain counts in the upper decile (top ten percent) of the GSC's regional data population consisting of over 400 till samples collected over a 6500 km2 area. The C1 target parallels a major lithological contact and the anomalous till results are localized in an area of magnetic destruction. The same west south-west trend can be observed in the southern part of the claims where five consecu...
