Prosper Gold Corp. ("
Prosper Gold" or the
"
Company") (TSXV:PGX) reports remaining results
from its inaugural drilling program and the outlining of an
additional high-priority, kilometre-scale target at the Golden
Sidewalk Project Red Lake, Ontario.
Golden Corridor Diamond
Drilling
Over the course of its 2022 winter drilling
program, the Company has completed 6,741 metres in 21 drill holes
over 2.8 kilometres of the Golden Corridor trend (Figure 1).
Drilling continues to outline a large hydrothermal system with
associated ankerite ± biotite alteration and gold mineralization
over a 2.8 kilometres long trend and to depths of over 500 m.
Significant gold intercepts are outlined in Table 1 below.
Mineralization encountered in drilling at the
Golden Corridor to date occurs in three dominant styles:
- Arsenopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite ±
gold in quartz-carbonate veins.
- Pyrite ± gold in quartz-ankerite
veins within mafic interbeds internal to sheared ultramafic
unit.
- Arsenopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite
replacing sulphide and oxide facies Banded Iron Formation and
associated with silicification ± quartz veining.
“The Company has been aggressively drilling the
Golden Corridor for the past eleven months, as well as developing
additional target areas on our large land position,” commented
Peter Bernier, CEO. “Moving forward, we look to advance and drill
test the most compelling targets outlined in 2021 which will
include targeting higher grade domains at the Golden Corridor.”
The Company has commissioned a third-party
structural study on the 2021/2022 Golden Corridor drilling.
Interpretation of all oriented core and televiewer data will
provide insight into targeting higher grade domains within the
varying lithological and structural settings (Figures 2 & 3)
that make up the overall hydrothermal system.

Additional High Priority Target Area –
Skinner North
Between June 2020 and October 2021, the Company
has been defining exploration targets at the Skinner North target
area. Results from Prosper Gold’s rock chip sampling at the Skinner
North showing include 16.3 g/t gold and 13.7 g/t gold from
east-west trending quartz veins. The veins are up to 0.5 m wide
with iron-carbonate and biotite wall-rock alteration. The Skinner
North target area is characterized as a series of east-west
trending faults and shears with strong alteration and local gold
mineralization. The faults and shears are axial planar to
kilometre-scale, east-northeast plunging folds.
There are numerous historical trenches and pits
at the Skinner North target area where glacial cover is shallow.
Thicker glacially deposited sand has made exploration in this area
challenging, however, till sampling in this area was made possible
by utilizing the 2021 LiDAR imagery to pick out sites where basal
till is exposed through the thicker sand cover. The results from
the 2021 till sampling completed in late 2021 have outlined a
3-kilometre gold grain-in-till train with individual samples
containing up to 1,014 gold grains (Figure 4).
The presence of gold mineralization in surface
exposures associated with east-west trending axial planar faults in
a favourable geological and structural setting now supported by a
significant gold grain-in-till anomaly has made the Skinner North a
high priority exploration target. Prosper will begin groundwork at
this never before drilled area upon its return to the project after
Spring break up.

About the Golden Sidewalk
The Golden Sidewalk is a district-scale gold
exploration project covering over 160 square kilometres of
contiguous mineral claims and mining leases (see the Company's Aug.
10, Sept. 8, and Sept. 15, 2020 news releases for details) in the
western Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt, approximately 60 km east of Red
Lake, Ontario. The vehicle-accessible project straddles 12
kilometres of the Balmer Assemblage – Narrow Lake Assemblage
unconformity, a regional-scale feature that has been the Red Lake
exploration guide, but which has seen limited exploration in the
project area. The “Golden Corridor” lies immediately north of the
unconformity and is characterized as a highly prospective trend of
coincident favourable magnetic and resistivity lineaments supported
by highly anomalous gold-in-till samples covering 7.0 by 0.5
kilometres. An additional highly prospective target area was
defined in 2021, termed the Skinner North Target Area, where rock
samples up to 16.3 g/t gold and till samples containing up to 1,014
gold grains have not been followed up with drilling.
QA/QC Procedures
Quality assurance and quality control measures
implemented by the Company include the insertion of certified
reference materials in the sample sequence at a rate of 1 in 20 for
both blank material and certified reference standards. Analytical
results for reference standard and blank samples are scrutinized
internally to ensure adequate analytical precision and accuracy in
both sample preparation and instrumental procedures. A chain of
custody from drilling to laboratory is strictly monitored to ensure
sample and analytical integrity and reliability. Half-split core
samples are sent to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario,
where they are analyzed in 50-gram aliquots using Fire-Assay with
ICP-OES finish. Any overlimit analyses (>10 g/t Au) are
re-analyzed with a pulp metallic screen method designed to give the
most accurate representation of gold concentration in each sample.
AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, ON, is an accredited testing
laboratory having been assessed by the Standards Council of Canada
(SCC) and found to conform with the requirements of ISO/IEC
17025:2017.
