Labrador Gold Intersects 10.63g/t Au Over 5.9 Metres at Big Vein, Includes 46.72g/t Au Over 1 Meter
04 March 2024 - 11:30PM
Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from recent
drilling targeting the highly prospective Appleton Fault Zone. The
drilling is part of the Company’s 100,000 metre diamond drilling
program at its 100% owned Kingsway Project.
The latest results include holes drilled at the
NE extension of Big Vein, Knobby and a follow up hole in the new HM
occurrence.
Hole K-23-309 drilled at Big Vein intersected
several intervals over the length of the hole including:
- 10.63 g/t Au over 5.9 metres from
139.1 metres downhole that included 46.72g/t over 1 metre in the
Big Vein Zone
- 1.41g/t Au over 2 metres from 251
metres and
- 2.2g/t Au over 8.3 metres from 282
metres that included 12.07g/t Au over 0.8 metres in the HTC
Zone.
The hole extended both zones by 25 metres along
strike to the northeast.
Hole-24-336 followed up the initial intersection
at HM (38.37g/t Au over 0.8 metres) with a 25 metre step out to the
northwest and intersected near surface mineralization grading
9.29g/t Au over 1.38 metres from 60.62 metres that included
25.22g/t over 0.5 metres.
Two follow up holes at Knobby intersected gold
mineralization. Hole K-23-298 intersected 6.05g/t Au over 0.4
metres from 89.9 metres, and hole K-23-310 intersected 8.04g/t Au
over 0.6 metres from 80.9 metres.
“We are pleased with the high-grade gold over
significant widths intersected at Big Vein and by the number of
separate gold bearing intervals in the hole that intersected both
the Big Vein and HTC Zones. Both zones were extended 25m to the
northeast with this hole,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of
Labrador Gold. The high-grade results from the step out hole at HM
are also encouraging given the early stage of drilling there and
they demonstrate the potential for another significant gold
occurrence. The HM occurrence is the seventh to be found by the
LabGold team since we started work on the property and continues to
show the significant prospectivity of the area around the Appleton
Fault Zone which runs for 12km through the Kingsway property.”

Table 2. Drill collar details.
Figure 1. Kingsway occurrences with highlights of
recent drilling.
Almost 92,000 metres have been drilled to date
out of the 100,000 metre program. Assays are pending for 4,000
samples. The Company has approximately $7 million in cash.
QA/QC True widths of the
reported intersections have yet to be calculated. Assays are uncut.
Samples of HQ split core are securely stored prior to shipping to
Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for
assay. Eastern Analytical is an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory.
Samples are routinely analyzed for gold by standard 30g fire assay
with atomic absorption finish as well as by ICP-OES for an
additional 34 elements. Samples containing visible gold are assayed
by metallic screen/fire assay, as are any samples with fire assay
results greater than 1g/t Au. The company submits blanks and
certified reference standards at a rate of approximately 5% of the
total samples in each batch. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are
submitted to Bureau Veritas, an ISO 17025 accredited Laboratory in
Vancouver, BC for check assays.
Qualified Person Roger Moss,

About Labrador Gold Labrador
Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the
acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern
Canada.
Labrador Gold’s flagship property is the 100%
owned Kingsway project in the Gander area of Newfoundland. The
three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately
12km of the Appleton Fault Zone which is associated with numerous
gold occurrences in the region. Infrastructure in the area is
excellent located just 18km from the town of Gander with road
access to the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water.
LabGold is drilling a projected 100,000 metres targeting high-grade
epizonal gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone with
encouraging results. The Company has approximately $7 million in
working capital.
The Hopedale property covers much of the
Florence Lake greenstone belt that stretches over 60 km. The belt
is typical of greenstone belts around the world but has been
underexplored by comparison. Work to date by Labrador Gold show
gold anomalies in rocks, soils and lake sediments over a 3
kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake
greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold
showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition,
anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over
approximately 40 km along the southern section of the greenstone
belt. Labrador Gold now controls approximately 40km strike length
of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.
The Company has 170,009,979 common shares issued and outstanding
and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.
