Doré Copper Intersects 6.92% Copper, 3.1 G/T GOLD and 24.2 G/T Silver over 3.4 Meters at Cedar BAY Central Vein
PRESS RELEASE
DORÉ COPPER INTERSECTS 6.92% COPPER, 3.1 G/T GOLD AND 24.2 G/T SILVER
OVER 3.4 METERS AT CEDAR BAY CENTRAL VEIN
Toronto, Ontario – September 15, 2020 – Doré Copper Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Doré Copper")
(TSXV: DCMC) is pleased to announce results from its ongoing 2020 drill program at the Cedar Bay deposit,
located in the Lac Doré mining camp near Chibougamau, Québec. Today’s results demonstrate the
extensions of the Cedar Bay Central, 10-20 A and B veins.
Drilling Highlights
• CDR-20-08AW1 - Central vein: 3.4 meters of 6.92% copper (Cu), 3.1 g/t gold (Au), and 24.2
g/t silver (Ag) approximately 75 meters down dip and along strike from hole CB-27-9 that
intercepted 2.0 meters (TW) of 15.2 g/t Au and 4.8% Cu and 100 meters up dip and along
strike from hole CDR-20-04C that intercepted 1.2 meters (TW) of 14.2% Cu and 1.16 g/t Au.
• CDR-20-08A - 10-20A vein: 1.7 meters of 7.57 g/t Au, 1.65% Cu and 15.8 g/t Ag. This is located
approximately 250 m down plunge of CDR-18-02W2 that intercepted 2.9 meters (TW) of 12.25
g/t Au and 1.2% Cu.
Ernest Mast, President and CEO of Doré Copper stated, “These latest intercepts at Cedar Bay potentially
extend the mineralization of the Central, 10-20 A and 10-20 B veins. The higher-grade gold nature of the
intercepts supports the thesis of orogenic gold enrichment of the Cedar Bay veins. The intercept on the
Central vein follows up on the high-grade intercept CDR-20-04C of 14.2% Cu over 1.5 meters from earlier
this year. The large potential downdip extension of the 10-20 A and B veins is extremely promising.
Following the completion of the drilling campaign, the Company is expected to have an updated mineral
resource estimate by H1/21 to support an eventual hub-and-spoke restart of the camp along with the Corner
Bay and Joe Mann deposits using our existing 2,700 tpd mill as a central processing facility.”
Cedar Bay Drill Program
The two holes crossed the Main, Central and 10-20A and 10-20B veins. Mineralized intercepts are
highlighted in Table 1 with hole locations on Figure 1.
Hole CDR 20-08A was drilled from the west close to the collar location used in the 2018 drill program when
the Company was private. The hole was initiated with an azimuth of 66 degrees and a dip of -63.5 degrees.
Hole CDR-20-08AW1 was then wedged at a depth of 700 meters. The Central vein and 10-20 veins that
are adjacent to the existing shaft were targeted (Figure 2).
Prior drill results from Cedar Bay were announced on August 4, 2020 for the Central vein, Main Vein, Zone
21 and the Copper Cliff Crown Pillar. Of note, in the August 4, 2020 news release, hole CDR-20-04C
intersected 1.2 meters (TW) of 14.2% Cu and 1.16 g/t Au. Hole CDR-20-08AW1 intercepted mineralization
between that intercept and a high-grade historic intercept of 2.0 meters (TW) of 15.2 g/t Au and 4.8% Cu
from hole CB-27-9.
The vertical extension of the 10-20 A and 10-20 B structures was extended by approximately 250 meters
downdip as demonstrated by Hole CDR-20-08AW1. The structure between the CDR-20-08AW1 intercepts
and the historical holes on the 10-20 A and B structures will be tested by CDR-20-08AW2.

Cedar Bay Property
The Cedar Bay property is located five kilometers by road from the Company’s Copper Rand Mill that
operated from 1959 to 1990 producing 3.9 million tonnes grading 1.63% Cu and 3.21 g/t Au. The deposit
is comprised of multiple parallel to sub-parallel, NW-SE striking, steeply dipping extensional shears which
are mineralized with semi-massive to massive sulfides (Cpy +/- Py +/- Po). All deposits along the Lac Doré
complex share the same general attributes. At Cedar Bay, there are currently five identified parallel zones
– Main 1 and 2, Central, 10-20 A and B (from SW to NE), as well as several other smaller lenses in between.
Cedar Bay’s mineral resources consist of an indicated resource of 130,000 tonnes grading 9.44 g/t Au and
1.55% Cu and an inferred resource of 230,000 tonnes grading 8.32 g/t Au and 2.13% Cu, all located in the
10-20A, 10-20B and Central structures (2019 NI 43-101 Technical Report - all resources are reported on a
minimum 2 meter vein width).
Drilling and Quality Control
The Company is using Miiken Drilling as the drilling contractor. Miiken is a joint venture between
Chibougamau Diamond Drilling Ltd., the First Nations community of Ouje-Bougoumou and the First Nations
community of Mistissini both located in the Eeyou Istchee territory.
Sample preparation and assays were done at SGS lab in Val-d’Or, Québec. Samples were weighed, dried,
crushed to 75% passing 2 mm, split 250 g, pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Samples were then fire
assayed for Au (30 g) and sodium peroxide fusion ICP-MS finish for 34 elements.
QA/QC is done in house by Doré Copper Geologists with oversight from the Exploration Manager, The
check samples (blanks and standards – 4% of total samples with another 2% of core duplicates) that were
inserted into the sample batches are verified against their certified values and are deemed a pass if they
are within 3 standard deviations of the certified value. The duplicates are evaluated against each other to
determine mineralization distribution (nugget). If there are large discrepancies in the check samples, then
the entire batch is requested to be re-assayed.
