NEWS RELEASE

Decade’s First drillhole into Del Norte-Lord Nelson Boundary Area intersects 10
metres
mineralized with chalcopyrite and visible gold
Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade” or the Company) announces an update
on exploration on the Del Norte and Lord Nelson pro perties optioned from Teuton
Resources Corp, 34 km east of Stewart in BC’s “Golden Triangle”:
Highlights of the latest exploration indicates the following:
10 m wide chalcopyrite rich zone with VG in the fir st drill hole on the Del
Norte/Lord Nelson boundary.
VG identified in surface channel saw cuts on the “14 oz” zone.
Wide mineralized intersection on the Argo zone (Del Norte property).
Drilling has intersected a second mineralized zone located west of the Argo
zone.
The Company has completed over 6000 m of drilling i n 23 holes to date testing three
targets: the "Argo" zone (a 115 m wide north-south zone of deformation), the newly
discovered Eagle’s Nest zone and the newly discover ed “14 oz“ zone, the latter in the
boundary area between the Del Norte and Lord Nelson properties.. The drilling on the
Argo and Eagle’s Nest zones has indicated that mine ralization is hosted by black mud
lapilli tuffs that appear to have repeat sections due to thrusting and faulting. Mineralized
zones host various sulphides including pyrite, spha lerite, galena and tetrahedrite along
with sections mineralized by fine acicular arsenopy rite. Intersections in the Argo zone
have been up to 30 m long within some of the drill holes. Drilling in 2020 has outlined the
Argo zone over at least 500 m of strike length, ope n to depth and along strike. Logging
and diamond sawing of the core continues with 2 separate core cutting stations. Assays
are awaited.
Attached is a photo of VG from the saw cutting on t he “14 oz” zone and from an
intersection in DDH-20-23, the first hole into this promising area.
E. Kruchkowski, President of the Company states: “Hitting visible gold in the first hole in
the Del Norte-Lord Nelson boundary area confirms th e potential of this new zone and
validates the high-grade gold results obtained in surface sampling. We are very pleased
with this result and also with the lengthy intersections being obtained in the Argo drilling.”
Exploration work is being conducted from Stewart in order to avoid a camp situation that
may lead to health concerns due to the COVID-19 vir us. The Company uses a Stewart
based helicopter for support. A pad building crew, diamond drill crew and support staff
mobilize on a daily basis from a staging area near the project. The geological crew is one
that the Company has relied on for a number of years and which has intimate knowledge
of the property.
All drill cores in this program are NQ in size. The core is brought into Stewart on a daily
basis where it is logged for cutting on a diamond s aw. Assays are to be completed on
sawn half cores, with the second half kept for futu re reference. The samples will be
analyzed using 30 element ICP and standard fire ass ay procedures with atomic
absorption (AA) finish on samples yielding a grade higher than ten g/t Au. Standard
reference materials and blank samples were inserted prior to shipment for quality
assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program.
Analysis will be performed by Activation Laboratories Ltd in Kamloops BC.
