High Tide Resources Reports Final Drill Results and
Prepares for Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate
Toronto, Ontario – October 25, 2022: Avidian Gold Corp., (“Avidian” or the “ Company”)
(TSX-V: AVG) advises that ~33% owned High Tide Resources Corp (CSE: HTRC) ("High Tide”
or the “Company”) today announced final drill results from the Labrador West Iron Project
successfully completing almost 2300 metres of additional drilling during the spring/summer drill
program. These results, and all previously reported assays from 2022 and 2020 plus the historical
Rio Tinto holes, along with metallurgical data, are now being used to refine the geological and
lithological model and will be incorporated into the upcoming maiden mineral resource estimate.
Avidian President & CEO Steve Roebuck states : “We look forward to the maiden mineral
resource estimate at the Labrador West Iron Project through our majority ownership in High Tide.
The southern Labrador Trough is home to four operating iron mines producing some of the world’s
most in-demand high-grade iron concentrates and pellets. The future of low -carbon green steel
production will rely heavily upon the southern Trough and projects like Labrador West to add to
the high-quality iron output. High Tide is very well positioned with exciting infrastructure metals
projects in safe and secure Canada which includes the Clearcut Lithium project near Val d’Or and
the Lac Pegma copper-nickel-cobalt Project near Fermont, Quebec.”
A complete list of all significant assay results from the 2022 spring/summer drilling program at
its flagship Labrador West Iron Project (the “Project” or “Property”) is also provided (see Table
