Geochemical Survey at Canasil’s Vega Property Identifies New Targets, Expands Others
Vancouver, October 24, 201 9 - Canasil Resources Inc. ( TSX-V: CLZ , DB Frankfurt: 3CC, “Canasil” or “the
Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has received analytical results from the 2019 soil
geochemical and rock sampling work done at its 100%-owned Vega copper-gold property located in north-
central British Columbia, Canada. The field work encompassed a detailed “base -of-slope” sampling
programme on 100m spacings within a core area that is approximately 6.5 by 7.5 kilometres in size. The
area selected is within the western half of the Vega Property and was intended to complete “first -pass”
coverage of a prospective tract characterized by several copper, gold and silver showings and intense rock
alteration that maybe related to magnetic anomalies and porphyritic intrusive rocks. In recent years Canasil
has undertaken a se quence of surveys at Vega that include a detailed airborne magnetic survey, airborne
LiDAR and satellite-based alteration studies.
The results from o ver 300 soil samples collected along 30 line -kilometres of contour soil survey lines are
particularly encouraging and identify anomalous and often high -contrast copper, gold and molybdenum
assays that may be associated with strong magnetic anomalies. Three large cluster anomalies are evident,
outlined in the figures below:
1. Anomaly 1 suggests that significant extensions to the Pluto showing may exist up to 2,000 metres north
from the original showing. This extension has not been previously mapped or prospected.
2. Anomaly 2 is downslope from a new 2019 mapping/prospecting discovery of outcropping copper
mineralization associated with in an area of magnetite-epidote (propylitic) veining in quartz diorite
intrusive. A grab sample from this area returned 2.26% copper and 0.145 g/t gold.
3. Anomaly 3 occurs on both flanks of Thane Creek close to the possible contact of Hogem Batholith units
with Triassic -aged volcanic rocks. This area is reported to have several (poorly located) RGS Minfile
showings recording anomalous copper and gold values. Prospecting and mapping along Thane Creek
identified abundant quartz-sericite-pyrite and potassic feldspar+biotite+hematite -altered quartz diorite
float as well as localized fracture-controlled quartz+pyrite+mica veinlets with trace chalcopyrite.
4. Additional anomalies are present within the survey area.
The 2019 field work has already added significantly to the understanding of the mineral potential within the
Vega project area. Areas of silicification, sericite-pyrite and feldspar-hematite alteration were encountered
that are very encouraging signs of a hydrothermal environment for hosting porphyry style copper -gold
mineralization. The extensive soil sampling in areas identified by airborne magnetics signature s have
identified excellent targets for further exploration and ultimately drill testing.
Exploration interest in the region of the Vega Project has increased significantly in 2019. Several property
option agreements have been signed by other companies, staking has increased, and numerous exploration
initiatives are underway in the area.
Bahman Yamini, President of Canasil , commented: “The 2019 field work results at Vega are very positive
and have identified multiple high priority targets for future follow up, confirming areas of interest outlined
by the prior airborne magnetic and LiDAR surveys. We are also particularly impressed by the quality of work
performed by our field geological consultants, Tripoint Geological Services.”

About the Vega copper-gold project:
The 100% -owned Vega claims cover 9,125 hectares located between the Osilinka and Mesilinka river
systems in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia, 300 km northwe st of Prince George. The
property is in a well -recognized copper -gold porphyry district. Access to the property, which lies at an
elevation of 1,100 – 1,600 metres, is via the Omineca Mines Access Road and l ocal logging roads. The
property lies on a north -northwest trending fault structure in Takla Group Volcanic rocks of Upper Triassic
to Jurassic age. This volcanic sequence has been intruded by syenite, monzonite and diorite stocks, dykes
and sills possibly related to the Hogem Batholith. Intrusive volcan o-sedimentary contacts typically parallel
the regional northwest structural trend. The Vega project is located between the Mt. Milligan Mine (145 km
southeast) and the Kemess Project (145 km northwest) and is approximately 70 km north north-west of the
Kwanika deposit (65% Serengeti Resources Inc., 35% Posco International Corp.), 65 km from Sun Me tals
Corp. Stardust project, and 40 km from the Lorraine deposit (51% Teck Resources Ltd, 49% Sun Metals
Corp.).
Geological mapping and sampling field work was carried out by Tripoint Geological Services Ltd. under the
direction of Wade Barnes, P. Geo., P resident. Soil and Rock samples were delivered directly to ALS Canada
Ltd. laboratories in North Vancouver, BC. Soil sampl es were assayed by aqua regia digestion with ICP finish
(Au-TL43 and b ME-MS41) and rock samples were assayed by four acid digestion with 33 elements with ICP-
AES finish (ME-ICP61) and gold with a 30g FA-AA finish (Au-AA23).
