K9 Gold contracts Overburden Drilling Management for till sampling
at Stony Lake
October 14, 2020 – K9 Gold Corp. (KNC: TSX-V) (5GP: GR: FSE) (“K9” or the “Company”) has
commissioned Overburden Drilling Management of Nepe an, Ontario to conduct the preliminary till
sampling program at the Stony Lake Project. The sam pling program will expand on the numerous high-
grade results from the compilation of historical work.
The program is to follow up on-going compilation of historic exploration work on the property that has
identified a large area with highly anomalous gold values in tills collected in 1989 by Teck Explorati ons
Limited. These are clustered around the Island Pon d – Moccasin Lake area in the central part of the
property. Calculated visible gold assays, by Overb urden Drilling Management, yielded 15 samples with
values over 1500 ppb, four of which had values of 1 1787, 12754, 14092 and 19502 ppb au. Analysis of
non-magnetic heavy mineral concentrates by Chemex Labs yielded 16 samples with values >1000 ppb au.
Four of these samples were reported as >10,000 ppb au, which was the upper detection limit.
The Stony Lake East project lies within the Cape Ra y/Valentine Lake structural trend in Central
Newfoundland, lying parallel to that of New Found Gold’s Queensway project, along the prolific Dog Bay
Line. The project covers 13,625 ha and 27 kilometers of favorable trend between Sokoman’s Moosehead
discovery to the northeast and Marathon's Valentine Lake deposit to the southwest.
At Stony Lake, large areas of significant gold mineralization occur primarily in altered Botwood sediments
and quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusives associated with intense silicification, sericite-chlorite-carb onate
alteration and a strong pyrite-arsenopyrite mineral ogical association. These features indicate
epizonal/mesozonal temperatures for the hydrotherma l fluids and support the exploration model of
hydrothermal fluids leaking upwards into the Botwood sediments from a deeper igneous intrusive source.
This area is now referred to as the Exploits Subzone gold district which essentially covers the Silurian-age
clastic sediments surrounding the Mount Peyton intrusive.
Prior to the 2020 field season, airborne geophysica l coverage, with follow-up ground prospecting and
sampling, has led to the identification of eight areas of highly anomalous to high grade gold mineralization.
The gold mineralization is hosted in a variety of e nvironments, including quartz-feldspar porphyries,
reduced sandstones, quartz stockworks and quartz veins. The property hosts both widespread low grade
mineralization (up to 4.0 g/t Au) within the Botwood Formation and high grade veins (>4.0 g/t Au) in the
basement rocks below the Botwood, similar to the nearby New Found Gold Queensway project, and the
immediately adjacent Sokoman Minerals Moosehead discovery.
To ensure a safe workplace environment that protect s the health and safety of employees and
contractors, K9 Gold follows all federally and prov incially mandated and recommended guidelines
regarding Covid 19.
