BEAUCE GOLD FIELDS OUTLINES WINTER DRILL CAMPAIGN
ALONG THE ANTIFORM SADDLE REEF STRUCTURE
Beauce Gold Fields (Champs D’Or en Beauce) (TSX Venture: "BGF"), referred to as "BGF" or the
"Company," is pleased to announce its planned diamond drilling campaign and bulk sampling program
targeting high-priority zones along the antiform Saddle Reef structure. This structure is identified as the
likely source of historical placer gold deposits on the Beauce Gold property, located in southern Quebec.
Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields, stated: “Past drill results, combined with the
newly identified anomalies, justify a focused drilling and bulk sampling program to explore the structure
believed to be the source of the region’s historical placer gold deposits."
High-Priority Drill and Bulk Sampling Targets
The Company has selected targets based on its 2023 drilling and trenching program, which confirmed gold
mineralization within the axis of a domed outcrop. Subsequent IP and geological studies have identified
an 8 km-long antiform Saddle Reef structure. Geochemical studies suggest that this structure is the likely
source of historical placer gold deposits in Saint-Simon-les-Mines to the southwest.
In this first phase, Beauce Gold Fields plans to drill seven holes, totaling 500 meters, across two key zones:
the Giroux Zone and the Grondin Zone. Additional drilling phases will be planned based on results from
these zones, as well as from IP Anomalies Three and Four (see BGF press release dated December 10,
2024).
Giroux Zone
Location: At the headwaters of Giroux Brook, a tributary of the Gilbert River. This brook was
central to 19th-century industrial-scale placer gold mining.
Planned Activities:
o A trench, 150 meters in length, will be excavated to expose mineralized zones where
overlapping soil and IP anomalies suggest antiform structure signatures.
o Two exploratory drill holes will be conducted, with additional holes planned based on on-
site results.
Grondin Zone
Location: In the northwest corner of the Beauce Gold property in Beauceville, Quebec.
Details: This 600-meter-long section of the structure lies above drill hole GR 23-01, drilled in 2023
(BGF press releases: November 1, 2023, and January 18, 2024).
o Findings from GR 23-01:
The drill hole crossed a 36-meter-long mineralized zone and intersected three
distinct gold zones between depths of 11 and 24 meters.
One of the zones returned assays of 1 meter at 8.5 g/t and 5.4 g/t Au over 2.2
meters.
Mineralization is associated with stockwork containing sulfides and shows strong
deformation, which led to core loss, particularly toward the end of drilling.
o Planned Activities:
New holes will verify gold mineralization beyond a depth of 40 meters and test
areas along the structure’s strike on either side of hole GR 23-01.
The Company has submitted an "Autorisation pour travaux à impact" (ATI) application to Quebec’s
Ministry of Natural Resources to secure drilling authorization. A drill rig will be mobilized promptly upon
approval.

About Beauce Gold Fields
Beauce Gold Fields is focused on exploring and developing the largest placer gold district in eastern North
America. The Company’s objective is the trace old placer gold workings back to a bedrock source to
uncover economic lode gold deposits. The Company’s flagship property is the Saint-Simon-les-Mines Gold
project, site of Canada’s first gold rush that pre-dates the Yukon Klondike. The Beauce region hosted
some of the largest historical placer gold mines in Eastern North America that were active from 1860s to
the 1960s It produced some of the largest gold nuggets in Canadian mining history (50oz to 71oz). (Source

Beauce Gold Fields is currently drilling recently discovered antiform systems that is believed to have
contributed to the development of extensive auriferous placer deposits in Beauce. The Company’s
geological model suggests that placer gold within the Beauce Gold paleochannel, including the renowned
large nuggets from the 19th century, formed in stressed quartz pockets within layered domed Axis of
Antiforms, exemplified by Saddle Reef formations. Notable global Saddle Reef formations include
the Bendigo gold fields in Australia (over 60 million ounces) and the high-grade Dufferin deposit in Nova
Scotia.
