Copper Lake Provides Exploration Update ON Its Marshall Lake Copper-Zinc-Silver-GOLD VMS Property, Northern Ontario
News Release No: 22-05
COPPER LAKE PROVIDES EXPLORATION UPDATE ON ITS
MARSHALL LAKE COPPER-ZINC-SILVER-GOLD VMS PROPERTY,
NORTHERN ONTARIO
May 10, 2022 – Toronto, ON – Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSX -V: CPL, Frankfurt: WOI,
OTC: WTCFZ) (“Copper Lake” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the
exploration program on its Marshall Lake copper-zinc-silver-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide
(VMS) property (the “Property”), located northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Borehole Electromagnetic (EM) Surveys
Recent drilling on the Property resulted in the discovery of a new zone of mineralization known
as the VTEM/Deep IP discovery. Highlighting the new discovery, is an intersection of 1.74%
copper, 0.05% lead, 2.35% zinc, 109.67g/t silver & 1.41 g/t gold over 11.87 metres (Mar-21-
03). Addtionally, a second hole testing the new discovery (Mar -22-01), intersected 2 well -
mineralized zones, comprising heavily disseminated to semi-massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and
pyrite over 2.17 and 1.95 metres, respectively. Assays for these 2 intercepts are pending and
expected within the next few weeks.
Borehole EM surveys were recently completed on these two holes, as well as a few other strategic
holes, to help identify extensions to the mineralized zones and to assist in vectoring towards thicker
accumulations of sulphide mineralization at this locale. Modelling of the BHEM data is currently
underway with the immediate goal of prioritizing targets for a drill program to occur in the coming
summer months. Preliminary interpretation of the BHEM data is anticipated to be received by the
Company within a week’s time.
Summer Exploration Program
The first priority for diamond drilling this summer will be to continue to test the new VTEM/Deep
IP discovery in efforts to enlarge or expand on the limits of this new zone of mineralization. The
large IP anomaly (chargeability and resisitivity) and VTEM conductors associated with
mineralization, have seen very minimal testing with only 3 drill holes – additional drilling is clearly
warranted.
The second priority will be an initial drill test of the Deeds Island target. A prominent residual
gravity anomaly (200 metres by 100 metres) at this site is closely associated with a strong zinc
geochemical anomaly, a zone of strong hydrothermal alteration and a number of airborne EM
conductors. The gravity anomaly is currently being modelled in 3D, to help define specific high-
priority drill targets.
The Deeds Island target located 6 km to the east of the Billiton deposit, offers potential for massive
sulphides in younger rocks, situated stratigraphically higher in the section, relative to the Billiton
deposit. The Deeds Island target has never been previously tested by diamond drilling.

ABOUT COPPER LAKE RESOURCES
Copper Lake Resources Ltd. is a publicly traded Canadian mineral exploration and development
company with interests in two projects both located in Ontario. www.copperlakeresources.com
The Marshall Lake high-grade VMS copper, zinc, silver and gold project, comprises an area of
approximately 220 square km located 120 km north of Geraldton, Ontario and is accessible by
all-season road from the Trans-Canada Highway and just 22 km north of the main CNR rail line.
Copper Lake has a 75% interest in the joint ventured property, which consists of 233 claims and
52 mining leases. The project also includes 148 claim cells staked in 2018 and 2020 that are
100% owned and not subject to any royalties, which add approximately 30 square km to the
original property.
In addition to the original Marshall Lake property above, Marshall Lake also includes the Sollas
Lake and Summit Lake properties, which are 100% owned by the Company and are not subject
to any royalties. The Sollas Lake property consists of 20 claim cells comprising an area of 4
square km on the east side of the Marshall Lake property where historical EM airborne
geophysical surveys have outlined strong conductors on the property hosted within the same
favorable felsic volcanic units. The Summit Lake property currently consists of 100 claim cells
comprising an area of 20.5 square km, is accessible year-round, and is located immediately west
of the original Marshall Lake property. The Marshall Lake project is located in the traditional
territories of the Aroland and Animbiigoo Zaagi igan Anishinaabek (“AZA”) First Nations.
Copper Lake also has a 71.41% joint venture interest in the Norton Lake nickel, copper, cobalt,
and palladium PGM property, located in the southern Ring of Fire area, is approximately 100 km
north of the Marshall Lake Property. The Norton Lake property has a NI 43- 101 compliant
Measured and Indicated resource of 2.26 million tonnes @ 0.67% Ni, 0.61% Cu, 0.03% Co and
0.46 g/t Pd. The Norton Lake property is located in the traditional territories of the Eabametoong
(“Fort Hope”) and Neskantaga First Nations.
