Maple Gold reports additional assay results at Eagle Mine in Quebec

The new results represent complete assays from five follow-up holes for which partial results were previously reported, targeting northwest extensions of the main mine horizon and along multiple sub-parallel gold horizons. The company’s latest drilling campaign in the northern splay of the main mine horizon has returned the best intercept to-date from its 2022 program at Eagle.

Highlights:

• Drill hole EM-22-015 intersected 10.3 g/t gold over 7.8 m, including 41.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m in the North Mine Horizon.
• Further up-hole, EM-22-015 intersected 4.3 g/t Au over 3.9 m, including 6.6 g/t Au over 2.0 m, demonstrating the potential for the North Mine Horizon to be wider than what was previously interpreted.
• The EM-22-015 intercepts are located down-plunge from historical high-grade, near-surface drill results from a geologically similar hole (E-19: 19.6 g/t Au over 7.9 m, as well as 17.5 g/t Au over 5.6 m further up-hole) in an area with limited drilling that remains open further down-plunge.
• EM-22-015 has now returned seven separate intercepts over a 120 m interval starting from 142.5 m downhole.
• Assays are still pending for roughly 20% of the company’s 2022 drilling at Eagle.

Matthew Hornor, CEO of Maple Gold, comments:

“Drill results continue to support the company’s view that multiple sub-parallel gold horizons exist beyond what was historically mined at Eagle and have expanded our target areas along a broader mineralised corridor over a stratigraphic thickness that now exceeds 100 m in width.

“There is an apparent concentration of >10 g/t gold starting near surface and extending down-plunge to the EM-22-015 intercepts along the North Mine Horizon in an area with limited drilling that remains open further down-plunge. This represents just one of several compelling follow-up targets that we are excited to pursue in 2023.”
