Advance United Holdings Reports on Buck Lake Property 2022 Work Program - June 28, 2022
Advance United Holdings Reports on Buck Lake Property 2022 Work
Program
Advance United Holdings Inc. (CSE: AUHI) (FSE: 9I0) (the “Company” or “Advance United”) is
pleased to report the summer work program on the Buck Lake Property in the Batchewana
Greenstone Belt (“BGB”) of Northern Ontario is underway.
Figure 1 Buck Lake Property Location
The Buck Lake Property lies within the eastern part of the BGB of the Superior Province
approximately two hours north-northeast by road from Sault Ste Marie and is comprised of 78
claims totaling approximately 1,715 hectares. The property covers three (3) known mineralized
areas which have potential for Volcanic Massive Sulphide Deposits ( VMS) – the Noranda, El
Carmen, and Goulais River Zones (refer to Figure 2). Geological mapping and prospecting crews
have been mobilized to the property to begin field work in the area refe rred to as the Noranda
Zone. Numerous base metal occurrences are known in the BGB and the past producing Tribag
Mine occurring 30 km to the southwest was a significant copper producer.

The work program will focus initially on targets around the massive sulphide mineralization
intersections identified in previous drilling in the Noranda Zone and the extended VLF-EM
anomalies identified related to this mineralization. They will also be following up on anomalous
copper in soil results obtained in the 2017 soil survey and rock samples which returned 0.3%
copper.

initial prospecting and sampling will be completed.
The ground VLF-EM survey completed on the property in 2021 identified strong conductors which
have been interpreted to be related to major mineralized zones which traverse the property. An
area in the central part of the property , the Noranda Zone, where drill intersections identified
massive sulphide mineralization will be the focus of intense prospecting, sampling, and mapping.
History of the Buck Lake Property
Past work in the eastern part of the BGB has been limited in part due to poor access and mineral
rights ownership of a large number of townships by Algoma Central Railway but there has been
some work in the vicinity and on the property in the 1970s by companies such as Granges.
A modest exploration program on the Buck Lake Property was carried out by Noranda in the mid
1980’s which resulted in the definition of a 3 ,000-meter-long airborne and ground geophysical
electromagnetic (“EM”) anomaly. Noranda followed up with a single drill hole which intersected
two 4-meter-thick massive sulphide zones which reported copper and zinc mineralization ,
although no assays were reported.
In 2017 a reconnaissance soil survey w as completed, and a 2,500-meter-long copper/zinc
anomaly was identified overlying the area of the former drilling and extending to the south.
In 2021 a ground VLF-EM survey outlined the known EM anomaly in detail near the Noranda Drill
hole and resulted in several key areas for follow-up.
Mineralization Discovered on the Buck Lake Property
Massive sulphide mineralization has been identified in past work by Noranda drilling and has
been confirmed by recent ground VLF -EM and rock sampling which returned results up to 0.3%
Copper from massive sulphide and exhalite samples.
Several sulphide-rich units occur near the transition between felsic volcanic and mafic volcanic
units a classic location for VMS-type of deposits.
The three zones identified to date include 8 meters of massive sulphide mineralization in Noranda
Drill hole (the Noranda Zone), pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in trenches (the Goulais River
Zone) and pyrite and pyrrhotite with magnetite in trenches (the El Carmen Zone)
The geologic setting and mineralization can be compared to typical VMS deposits of the Kidd
Creek and Horne areas.
About Advance United Holdings
Advance United, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is traded on the Canadian Securities
Exchange in Canada under th e symbol “AUHI” 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.

the Au Marketplace, visit www.advanceunited.ca.
