High Tide Resources, a Subsidiary of Avidian Gold, Stakes Additional Ground at
its Labrador West Iron Ore Property
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2019 / High Tide Resources Corp.
(“High Tide”) is pleased to announce that the company, has staked an additional 71
claims, 1775 hectares, adjacent to its Labrador West Iron Ore Property ("Labrador
West Property or the "Property") near Labrador City, Newfoundland. High Tide is
earning a 100% interest in the Labrador West Property from Altius Resources Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX:ALS). High Tide is a
private subsidiary of Avidian Gold Corp (“Avidian” - TSX-V: AVG).
The foot-print for the Labrador West Property (formerly called the Goethite Bay
project) is now 2475 hectares encompassing 99 claims in total (see Figure 1). Large
portions of the Property area have been subject to advanced exploration techniques by
Rio Tinto Exploration including airborne and ground geophysics and diamond drilling.
High Tide’s President and VP of Exploration Steve Roebuck states; “We are very
pleased to have more than tripled our land package which provides High Tide with a
buffer to the core exploration area near the Iron Bull deposit and captures many
untested geophysical anomalies that will require follow up exploration.”
Between 2010 and 2012 Rio Tinto Exploration drilled 18 diamond drill holes totaling
4,227 metres at the Iron Bull deposit (formerly called the Goethite Bay
deposit). Significant iron mineralization was intersected in multiple drill holes including
hole 11LB0027, which yielded 279 metres at 29.8% Fe, including 157 metres at 31.9%
Fe and 90 metres at 31.9% Fe*. To date widespread drilling has intersected iron
mineralization over an area of 1,800 metres by 2,500 metres to a vertical depth of 420
metres and is still open at depth and along strike. Preliminary metallurgy done by Rio
Tinto suggests that the Project has the potential to produce a high-quality, low-impurity
iron concentrate at reasonable grind sizes.

Iron Ore and the Western Labrador Trough Infrastructure Advantage
The Labrador Trough of western Labrador and adjoining Quebec defines Canada’s
premier iron ore district and is host to world-class deposits that have been mined for half
a century producing over 2 billion tonnes of iron ore with significant growth potential.
The high quality of the deposits in the region allows for a wide range in product
diversity, which includes lump, premium fines, concentrate and pellet grades.
The Property is strategically located near the mining towns of Wabush and Labrador
City in the province of Newfoundland & Labrador, and Fermont just over the provincial
border in Quebec. The area is home to Alderon’s shovel-ready Kami Deposit, Champion
Iron Ore’s Bloom Lake Mine, Arcelor Mittal’s Mont-Wright Mine, Tacora Resources’
Scully Mine, the Julienne Lake Deposit and Rio Tinto IOC’s Carol Lake Mine.
The region is very well served with a paved highway, access to abundant low-cost
hydroelectricity, a common carrier railway with a currently under-utilized 80 million
tonnes capacity allowing iron ore products to be delivered to the deep-water Port of
Sept Isles, Quebec providing year-round access to global markets. The communities
and their skilled workforces enjoy a great lifestyle with modern amenities including
schools, medical facilities, recreation centres, shopping centres, hotels, restaurants and
an airport with daily service.
The additional ground that has been staked is shown in Figure 1.
