BEAUCE GOLD FIELDS GRAVIMETRIC SURVEY INDICATES THAT A MAJOR FAULT LINE EXTENDS
OVER 4.5 KM AND IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE OLD PLACER GOLD MINES
Beauce Gold Fields (Champs D’Or en Beauce) (BGF) (TSX Venture: ¨BGF¨) is pleased to announce that
results of a large scale gravimetric s u r v e y in St-Simon-les-Mines, located in the Beauce region of
southern Quebec, indicate that the major fault line previous identified (press release HPQ May 11, 2017
release,) extends over 4.5 km and is in alignment with old placer gold mines.
Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields, said, "The fact that geophysics results are in
alignment with the past producing gold mines is another important discovery that narrows our search to
find the hardrock source of the Saint-Simon-les-Mines gold placers. "

MAJOR FAULT LINE PREVIOUS IDENTIFIED NOW EXTENDS OVER 4.5 KM UNDER BGF PROPERTIES
The C o m p a n y h a s r e c e n t l y received a r e p o r t t i t l e d “RAPPORT DES LEVÉS GRAVIMÉTRIQUE ET DE
TOMOGRAPHIE GÉOÉLECTRIQUE DE 2018” authored by Professor Marc Richer-LaFlèche from the INRS
(Institute National de la Recherche et des Sciences), The report presents the main results of a gravity
survey in the St-Simon-les-Mines region and a geo-electrical tomography survey carried out in the
Gilbert River and Giroux Creek gold sector. Geophysical work was carried out at the end of 2017 and in
May 2018 on the Beauce Gold Placer property. In May 2018, a gravity survey of 599 stations was
conducted along roads and trails throughout S t-Simon-les-Mines. The purpose of the s u r v e y w a s t o
evaluate the deep geology of this sector by verifying certain hypotheses proposed on th e basis of the
results of the AMT surveys carried out in 2017-2018 (press release HPQ May 11, 2017 release,). More
specifically, the present study aimed to verify the probable presence of a large fault located below the
Beauce Placer gold placer zone and along the Gilbert River between St-Gustave road and the town of St-
Simon-les-Mines. The work is a continuation of the geophysics that has been carried out by HPQ Silicon
in the sector s i n c e 2 0 1 7. The primary objective of the geophysical survey is to identify potentially
mineralized zones that could possibly be the hard rock source of the gold contained in the placers of St-
Simon-les-Mines.
MAJOR FAULT LINE PREVIOUS IDENTIFIED IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH OLD PLACER GOLD MINES
The 19th and 20th century placer gold mines align with the northern edge of the gravity pit highlighted by
the Bouguer anomaly vertical integration map. Similarly, these mines line up on the northern edge of a
magnetic trough. The fault, suggested from the St-Gustave audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) survey, appears
to be the same along the northern limit gravity pit and magnetic trough. This relationship between a
local gravimetric and magnetic trough and a geolectric discontinuity (AMT survey) is consistent with the
presence of a fault in this area. This fault could explain the presence of gold in this part of the Gilbert
River watershed. Moreover, in the context of the transfer of hydrothermal gold fluids into the crustal
rocks of the region, it is likely that the higher permeability of volcaniclastic rocks has favored the
emplacement of gold mineralization mainly located on the north side of the suspected fault. This could
explain the predominance of auriferous veins in the volcaniclastic units of the Beauceville Formation and
the rarity of these veins in the less permeable (shale-rich) rocks of the St-Victor Formation.
PLACER TO HARD ROCK AREA OF INTEREST BETTER UNDERSTOOD, FUTURE WORK PLANNED
Based on the results of the audiomagnetotelluric, gravimetric and magnetometric studies carried out in
the St-Simon-les-Mines sector, it seems highly probable that a fault, passing along the Gilbert River, may
explain the emplacement of gold. T h e C o m p a n y i n t e n d s t o c o n t i n u e e xploration work in order to
validate the hypothesis that the source of the placer gold could be the fault line.

About Beauce Gold Fields
Beauce Gold Fields is a gold exploration company focused on placer to hard rock exploration in the
Beauce region of Southern Quebec. The Company’s f l a g s h i p p r o p e r t y i s t h e S t-Simon-les-Mines G o l d
project, a unique, historically significant gold property located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-
Mines. Comprising of a block of 152 claims as well as 7 real estate lots, the project area hosts a six
kilometre long unconsolidated gold-bearing sedimentary unit (a lower saprolite and an upper brown
diamictite). Textural observations (angularity) of gold nuggets suggest a relatively proximal source and
therefore a short transport distance. The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock
source of gold, providing possible further exploration discoveries. The property was host to Canada’s
first gold rush before the 1890s Klondike gold rush. It hosts numerous historical gold mines that were
active from 1860s to the 1960s (see HPQ SEDAR-filed July 4 2018 43-101 report).
