Advance United Announces Buck Lake Property Assay Results Having High-Grade Copper and Critical Metals - April 12, 2023
Advance United Announces Buck Lake Property Assay Results Having High-
Grade Copper and Critical Metals
Highlights
• Assays results for all 15-drill hole include intersections of 4.59% copper over 3.2-meters in a 11.75-meter zone
averaging 1.51% copper and containing notable zinc, gold, and silver values.
• Copper and/or zinc mineralization intersections in 13 of the 15 holes with zones averaging 3 to 4-meters.
• Final assay results include additional critical metal assets and high-grade silver, testing up to 98 g/t, accompanied
the higher copper mineralization.
Toronto, Ontario – April 12, 2023, Advance United Holdings Inc. (CSE: AUHI) (OTCQB: AUHIF) (FSE: 9I0) (the “Company” or
“Advance United”) is pleased to announce the receipt of final assay results all 15 diamond drill holes completed on the
Buck Lake Property in the Sault-Ste Marie area, Ontario.
Figure 1: High-grade copper and/or zinc mineralization .
Drilling followed a successful summer work program where previously reported channel samples identified 4.93% zinc,
0.33 g/t gold, and 1.58% copper, as reported in the Company press releases on December 1, 2022 and December 21, 2022).
A total of 688 samples were analyzed from 15 drill holes and tested with Actlabs in Timmins, Canada. The sampling was
completed in accordance with their comprehensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program including the
OREAS standards, blanks, duplicate core, and pulp samples.
The VMS zones at Buck Lake were stripped of overburden to expose bedrock and identified 10 areas with significant
potential. A total of 89 samples, over a total length of 85 -meters, identified several high priority targets including Taret
Area “M” which showed highly anomalous gold up to 0.33 g/t along with high grade copper potential with anomalies
averaging 1.58%.
“We are happy to report the final assays of the diamond drilling results from our 2022 drilling program at Buck Lake” states
Mr. Jim Atkinson, P.Geo. and CEO of Advance United . “We appreciate the importance of these critical metals in today’s
commodity markets. And frankly underscores our value and approach – capture the value of c ritical materials and make
play an important role in making them available at a reasonable cost. They are essential for economic and national security
and fuel the renewable energy sector and the electrification of transportation. Our important role as a modern developer
providing producers and the mining industry these opportunities is very fulfilling and exciting for our team and
shareholders.”
The drilling traced a 500 meter VMS mineralized zone, which not only possibly remains open on strike but remains untested
beyond the 140 meter drilling depth.
The drilling intersected massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralization which the Company believes corresponds to the
source of the VLF EM anomalies outlined by the previous surface work. Figure 1 below shows the relationship of the
mineralization intersected in the drilling to the main VLF EM anomaly. The sulphide zone is open to the north and south
and the Company intends to make the subject of follow-up with further geophysics and drilling.
Figure 2: Location of Drill Holes. Note the sulphide intersections are presented in red and the various VLF EM anomalies are
colored in yellow, orange, red and blue, and the main mineralized zone is in Red.
The Buck Lake Geological Model
The drill program helped delineate mixed volcanic units consisting of felsic and mafic volcanics with tuffaceous and
agglomerate textures enclosing the massive to semi -massive sulfides which are dominantly pyrite and pyrrhotite with
varying amounts of chalcopyrite and sphalerite and rarely galena. The sulphide zones are often enclosed in silicious material
and exhalite and are often accompanied by chloritic alteration.
The environment is typical of VMS -type deposits such as Kidd Creek in Timmins and Horne in Noranda. Notably, V MS
deposits occur in clusters as can be seen in Mattagami and in NW Quebec (Millenbach, Ansil, Corbet etc.)
Copper and/or zinc mineralization was intersected in 13 of the 15 holes generally in zones of 3 to 4 meters. Notably, high-
grade silver (up to 98 g/t) accompanied the higher copper mineralization.
The highest copper value returned in the present drilling program was in drill hole BL-22-06 which returned a value of 4.59
% Cu over 3 .2 m in a larger zone of 11 .75 m of 1.51% Cu. Drill holes BL -22-14 and BL -22-15 also intersected copper
mineralization with assays of 0.42 over 4.15 meters and 2.38% over 2.95 meters.
Figure 3: Assays in this section returned 0.17% cu over 2.8-metres.
In this photo we see a typical intersection of massive and semi-massive mineralization consisting of pyrite and pyrrhotite
with chalcopyrite in a silicious and chlorite altered matrix which may be exhalite. In drill hole BL-22-04 assays in the
section in the figure above returned 0.17% cu over 2.8-metres.

About Advance United Holdings
Advance United brings an entirely different approach to the mining industry. We don’t mine. Rather, we’ve acquired a
portfolio of undervalued gold properties and are increasing their value through the application of modern technology. We
have a growing pipeline of similar properties that we are looking to acquire. And now we’ve launched the Au Marketplace.
A first of its kind digital platform that connects owners of mineral commodities and deposits with developers and
producers.
We are involved exclusively in the acquisition and advancement of past projects – with no intent to bring them back into
production or to mine them ourselves. Our expertise is in identifying and acquiring undervalued properties with significant
historical work, which were uneconomic at the time, but we believe have economic value at today’s prices.
We fund the development of re -working historic d ata and applying modern technology to underwrite new qualified
reports, document quantifiable resources and reserves to current standards, thereby recognizing the current value.
Our purpose is to bring immediate and long-term value to our partners and shareholders while seeking to eliminate
exploration risk, so that we can all advance united in the shortest possible time frame.
