PRESS RELEASE
DORÉ COPPER SUSPENDS CURRENT DRILLING PROGRAM CONSISTENT WITH
QUEBEC GOVERNMENT TEMPORARY STOPPAGE OF NON-ESSENTIAL
BUSINESSES
Toronto, Ontario – March 24, 2020 – Doré Copper Mining Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Doré Copper")
(TSXV: DCMC) announces that it has suspended its current drilling program. The Quebec Government
announced the stoppage of all non-essential businesses effective March 24th at midnight until at least April
13th. At the time of the suspension two drills were operating at the Cedar Bay property near Chibougamau,
Québec. The Corporation anticipates that when non-essential businesses can resume operations, the two
drill holes currently underway will be able to resume promptly.
The Corporation will maintain security personnel at the Copper Rand site. Company personnel will follow
protocols consistent with minimizing the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
The drilling at Cedar Bay was part of the drill program announced on January 6th, 2020 (see press release)
and will test the 10-20 zone at the shaft level. The 10-20 zone consists of three parallel veins where previous
drilling returned numerous high-grade gold and copper intercepts including 2.4 m grading 19.5 g/t Au and
1.67% Cu in hole CDR-18-02, and 2.4 grading 15.4 g/t Au and 4.54% Cu in hole CDR-18-03. The drill
program will also test the main Cedar Bay vein at depth.
The Corporation 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.

dated June 15, 2019, prepared by Luke Evans, M.Sc., P.Eng., which is available under Doré Copper’s
