Labrador Gold Intersects 6.22 G/T Gold Over 4 Metres in First Hole at Golden Glove Including 10.31 G/T Gold Over 2 Metres
June 07 2022 - 8:00AM
Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from seven drill
holes, including the first hole drilled at the Golden Glove Target
in the south end of its 100% owned Kingsway project near Gander,
Newfoundland. These holes were drilled as part of the Company’s
ongoing 100,000 metre drill program at Kingsway.
Hole K-22-150 intersected 6.22 g/t Au over 4
metres that included 10.31 g/t Au over 2m at a vertical depth of
246 metres. This intersection is located approximately 160 m south
of the Golden Glove discovery outcrop where six grab samples, three
of which contained visible gold, assayed between 2.99 g/t and 338.1
g/t Au (see news release dated September 21, 2021). This
intersection at Golden Glove is the fourth of four targets drilled
by LabGold to return significant gold intercepts.
While there are many similarities between the
mineralization observed at Golden Glove and that at Big Vein, a
significant difference is that while Big Vein occurs on the west
side of the Appleton Fault Zone, Golden Glove is situated on the
East Side. This is the first drilling on the east side of the fault
at the Kingsway Property.
Six holes drilled at the Pristine target
intersected near surface gold mineralization over significant
widths in the Doyle Zone, including 1.86 g/t Au over 8m in hole
K-22-144 and 1.75 g/t over 20.2m that included 2.76 g/t Au over
6.2m in Hole K-22-139.
“We are very pleased with the results from the
first hole drilled at Golden Glove especially considering that the
intersection is approximately 160m south of the discovery outcrop.
This indicates excellent potential for the area between this hole
and the outcrop and we are certainly looking forward to the results
from the remaining five holes drilled there to date,” said Roger
Moss, President and CEO of LabGold. “The continued near surface
gold intercepts extending the strike length of the Doyle Zone are
nice to see especially those with wider intersections. We are
encouraged by the successful drilling of our four initial targets,
all of which have delivered significant gold mineralization. We
will continue to test the new targets developed along the Appleton
Fault Zone through the summer, starting with the CSAMT target
approximately eight kilometres northeast of Big Vein.”

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.
Qualified Person
Roger Moss, PhD., P.Geo., President and CEO of LabGold, a
Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian regulatory
requirements as set out in NI 43-101, has read and approved the

Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program for its financial support for
exploration of the Kingsway property.
About Labrador GoldLabrador Gold is a Canadian
based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and
exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.
In early 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option
to earn a 100% interest in the 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 gold occurrences in the region, including those of
New Found Gold immediately to the south of Kingsway. 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 50,000 metres
targeting high-grade epizonal gold mineralization along the
Appleton Fault Zone following encouraging early results. The
Company has approximately $28 million in working capital and is
well funded to carry out the planned program.
The Hopedale property covers much of the
Florence Lake greenstone belts 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 (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details).
Labrador Gold now controls approximately 40km strike length of the
Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.
The Company has 159,199,026 common shares issued and outstanding
