Advance United Holdings and Frontline Gold Report on Geophysical Work Program on Paint Lake Road Project in Wawa, Ontario - Nov 23, 2022
Advance United Holdings and Frontline Gold Report on
Geophysical Work Program on Paint Lake Road Project in
Wawa, Ontario
The completion of recent ground VLF EM survey reveals numerous
structures of interest on the Paint Lake Road Joint Venture property in the
Wawa area of Ontario, an area renowned for gold and base metal ores.
Highlights
• The completed ground geophysical VLF EM survey shows many structures of interest
and identifies at least six northeasterly trending EM anomalies which may be related to
shear zones cutting intrusive rocks as evident in the nearby Eagle Mine which comprises
quartz veins in shear zones cutting intrusive diorites.
• Most anomalies are sub-parallel to and offsets of the regional Pukaskwa-Iron Lake (PIL)
Shear Zone which hosts gold mineralization locally at Abbie Lake and David Lake and
regionally at Island Gold Mine to the northeast.
• The area has recently been consolidated by other exploration companies and the
property is surrounded by ground held by Angus Gold and Bold Ventures and the
property is in a relatively unexplored area near the Wesdome’s Open Pit Mine and is
located on and adjacent to regional faults that are known to carry gold to the north and
south.
Toronto, Ontario – (November 23, 2022) – Advance United Holdings Inc. (CSE: AUHI) (FSE:
9I0) (OTCQB: AUHIF) and Frontline Gold Inc. (TSX.V FGC) are pleased to report numerous
favorable geophysical anomalies have been identified on the Paint Lake Road JV (“PLR JV”)
Property.
The project is within the Wawa Abitibi Subprovince, prolifically known for its metal endowment. It
has been estimated the Abitibi Subprovince has produced over 200 million ounces of gold and
400 million tonnes of base metal ore.
The belt has recently been consolidated and the Paint Lake Road property is strategically
located inside the consolidated area near the Mishi Open Pit and the former Magnacon Mines.
The property comprises six (6) claim blocks totaling over 3,610 hectares 50km north of Wawa,
Ontario and is located inside the Mishibishu Greenstone Belt which hosts the Wesdome Mines,
the Eagle River Gold Mine, the Mishi Open Pit, and the former Magnacon Mine.
Advance United has had success in the Wawa area having formerly developed and sold the
Dorset Zone to current owners, Angus Ventures, which hosts a non-compliant resource of
100,000 oz. gold. The full story can be read here.

The Paint Lake Road property sits along the Pukaskwa-Iron Lake (PIL) Shear Zone, known to
host gold mineralization at the former Argo property and further south at Wesdome’s Camp
Lake occurrence. Further northeast the Iron Lake Shear Zone hosts Alamos’ Island Lake Mine.

The Paint Lake Road Property Geology
The Property occurs within the Mishibishu greenstone belt that is a broad arcuate syncline 55
km long east-west and 16 km wide north-south. This belt is part of the Wawa Subprovince of the
Archean age Superior Province. Supracrustal rocks in the belt are dominated by greenschist
facies mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks with lesser sedimentary rocks including iron
formation and intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks. The belt is surrounded by Archean granitic
rocks and includes two internal granitic batholiths occupying the central portion of the belt.
The northern limb of the belt, where the PLR JV Property and the Mishi Mine of Wesdome are
located is dominated by an assemblage of clastic sedimentary rocks, felsic tuffs, and mafic
flows. The southern limb, where the Eagle River Mine is located, is dominated by tholeiitic
basalts and calc-alkaline andesites with minor interflow clastic sedimentary rocks and lean
chert-magnetite iron formation.
Promising Paint Lake Road Targets
The target for exploration on the PLR JV is shear-hosted orogenic gold similar to Wesdome’s
Eagle Deposit which is hosted by quartz veins in shear zones hosted by intrusive diorite. The
presence of a regional scale shear zone is considered prospective for this type of deposit.
Gold bearing quartz veins at Eagle River are hosted primarily by subvertical to steeply north
dipping east-west striking shear zones within an elliptical quartz diorite stock Mineralized
structures exhibit broad zones of deformed rock (3-20 m wide shear zones) affiliated with strong
silicification over 20-50 m width.
The PLR JV property is underlain by intrusive rocks and as such has been largely ignored in
previous exploration programs. The identification of possible shear offsets from the main PIL
shear will be further explored with prospecting and sampling.
Drilling has occurred in the past along the PIL shear zone, and gold has been detected in drill
core and surface sampling (MNDM Assessment Report # 42C03NW0540).

The recent survey was focused on the northeastern part of the claim group.
Figure 4: Area of recent VLF EM Survey on PLR JV Property
It is evident from the results of the survey that there are at least six northeast trending
anomalies identified in the area covered by the survey which could be related to shear zones in
the underlying bedrock.

Mr. James Atkinson CEO Advance United, stated “I am excited by the results of the recent VLF
EM survey – this area is a largely explored area of the PIL and we have identified EM anomalies
cutting the rocks. I fully believe that although this area was not properly explored in the past
that exciting results will result from our prospecting and sampling program which will commence
in 2023. We are looking forward to further prospecting of the property, and the VLF EM survey
will be expanded to cover the extensions of the recently identified anomalies.”

Advance United, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is traded on the Canadian Securities
Exchange under the symbol “AUHI”, the OTCQB Markets in the USA, symbol AUHIF, and the
Börse Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany under the symbol “9I0”.
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 data 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.
