BLACK TUSK RESOURCES INC. RECIEVES
McKENZIE EAST GOLD PROJECT, SOIL SAMPLES
July 20, 2020, Vancouver, B.C. – Black Tusk Resourc es Inc. (“Black Tusk” or the “Company) (CSE: TUSK,
OTC: BTKRF, Frankfurt: 0NB) is pleased to announce that the company has received results from soil
sampling that was completed on the McKenzie East pr operty at the end of May. The 203 samples that
were collected were delivered to SGS Laboratory in Val d’Or, Quebec.
SGS Minerals Lab processed the samples from the McK enzie East project using their innovative
trademarked Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) process. MMI uses a different approach that provides results that
are more meaningful in areas of exploration where t he overburden is considered deep. Rather than
using acid digestion to release metals from soil pa rticles, MMI extractants are used to detach and hol d
loosely bound metal ions in solution. These ions mo re closely reflect the concentrations of elements
within the underlying bedrock. Black Tusk utilized the MMI-M analytical package for 54 elements.
The 203 soil samples that were collected crossed se ctions of the property that were easiest to access,
and therefore the results are limited in spatial co verage. However, a number of interesting areas of
interest were developed from the soil sampling resu lts, and when combined with the results of the
drone magnetometer surveying completed earlier this year, begin to provide more definition of
potential drill targets.
Initial review of the MMI results by Black Tusk’s geological consultants indicates that for gold, rare earth
elements and some correlation also exists with copp er. The more elevated soil MMI gold values are
shown to overly linear features mapped by the magne tic survey. One area of interest within the north
block of claims contains elevated values for many e lements, and might be considered a higher priority
drill target (see inserted map).
Line cutting in preparation for a 3D Induced Polari zation (IP) survey is continuing on the McKenzie Ea st
property, and is expected to be completed later thi s week. Grid design was determined in collaboration
between Black Tusk’s geological crew and the contra ct geophysicist at Abitibi Geophysics based in Val
d’Or.
Black Tusk Resources is a gold-focused Canadian exp loration company with operations primarily based
in the world-class Abitibi greenstone belt region o f Quebec. Black Tusk currently holds 100-per-cent
ownership in six separate gold and palladium properties in Canada.
