Drilling at Del Norte Indicates 37.50 g/t Au eq over 7.01 m
Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade” or the Company) announces that it
has received the remaining assays for the last 8 drill holes from the 2021 program on
the Del Norte property, located 34 km east of Stewart in BC’s “Golden Triangle”. It was
optioned from Teuton Resource Corp. in January of 2020 with terms allowing the
Company to earn up to a 55% interest in the property by spending $4 million over a five
year period. The Company can an earn an additional 20% interest by carrying the
property to commercial production.
The 2021 drilling tested the contact of felsic volcanic rocks of the Hazelton Group and
sedimentary rocks of the Salmon River Formation. This is the same horizon that host s
the Eskay Creek mine 60km north of Stewart. Drilling was from drill platforms located on
rock islands (nunataks) within the South Nelson Glacier. The 2021 drilling was
successful in testing for extensions of 2020 gold- silver drill hole intersections on the
Argo/LG zone.
Ed Kruchkowski, President of the Company comments; “ The Company was very
successful in outlining additional numerous silver rich and gold-silver areas for further
exploration along the Argo/LG system . Our drilling was restricted to available rock
islands but with the recession of glacial ice, these will have become bigger for the up
coming 2022 program. The newly identified Argo zone will be one of the exploration
targets in 2022.” The 2021 program tested the zone over a strike length of 1.2 km and
300 m of depth. The surface expression of the zone occurs below glacial ice to the east
of the pads. In 2022, the Company plans to test the deep porphyry copper -gold as well
as SP zone al ong the Kosciuszko structure provided it can raise the funds. Our plan is
to earn the 55% interest this year.”
Highlights of drilling into the Argo zone include:
• 60.5 g/t Au and 660 g/t Ag over 3.6m in DDH-21-12
• 11.72 g/t Au and 3074 g/t over 2.29m in DDH-21-15

The Del Norte property contains numerous mineralized zones. The two most important
mineralization events are associated with quartz veins and breccias which are spatially
restricted to felsic packages and the footwall contact of thrust zones as well as por phyry
copper-gold. In the area of thrusting, quartz veins and breccia include the Argo/LG
Vein/LG Extension Zone, Kosciuszko Zone/ SP, Eagle’s Nest, and New. The Argo/LG
Vein/LG Extension Zone has been traced over 1.2 km while the New zone was
observed ov er 100 m of strike in a high mountain pass between 2 ice fields. The
Kosciuszko/SPzone has been traced over 1.2 km as well while the Eagle’s Nest zone
has been traced over 400m.These are marked by a distinct alteration halo, with a
propylitic zone constituting the outer envelope of the mineralization. Galena, sphalerite,
pyrite and minor chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite are common in these quartz veins
