Initial 2020 Exploration Results Outboard of Historic Engineer Workings
August 20, 2020
Vancouver, BC – Engineer Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) (TSXV: EAU) announces results
from its initial exploration program of evaluating the area surrounding and to the north of
the main workings of the historic Engineer Gold Mine (“Engineer”). A map is available
on the Company’s website at www.engineergoldmines.com/news
An initial evaluation of the Happy Sullivan showing , 3 km northeast of Engineer, yielded
results of 3.32 g/t Au with 78.2 g/t Ag over 0.6m from a northerly trending shear hosted
vein near th e lower adit portal, and 3.67 g/t Au with 14.9 g/t Ag over 0. 35m from a
separate northerly trending vein exposed in an open cut ( near the possible caved
western extent of the lower adit). Additional sampling has just been completed on the
Main Happy Sulliv an vein, exposed above a shaft at the upper adit portal, and along
trend to the north. Sample results will be released when received. Green mica, similar to
the vanadium mica that occurs within the historic Engineer workings, is evident within
the Happy Sullivan system. Significant north and northeast structures also intersect
here, indicating a favourable environment for mineralized veins.
Company President Andrew H. Rees com mented “Similar t o initial exploration work
south of the Engineer Gold Mine at Wann River (discussed in news on August 18,
2020), assay results from exploration work resulted in gold and silver bearing
mineralization in multiple vein systems throughout the central and northern areas of the
Engineer Gold and Si lver Project. Management is encouraged with these results and
intends to complete multiple small, 200 lb bulk samples to evaluate these vein s as the
Company awaits additional assay results from exploration work in these areas.”
The Minnie vein , within the southwesterly trending Mickey vein system yielded 3.95 g/t
Au, 6.6 g/t Ag over 1.2m. A grab sample from the southern end of the Mickey vein
returned 1.14 g/t Au, 0.7 g/t Ag and one from the central portion yielded 0.56 g/t Au, 2.9
g/t Ag. No significant values were obtained from other chip samples along the Mickey,
Gleaner and Myosotis veins despite reports of visible gold. The Mickey -Myosotis-
Gleaner vein systems have been traced over a composite strike length of 800m and lie
just east of , and may be related to, the Boulder -Governor-Shaft vein system which
occurs at the eastern margin of the main workings of the historic Engineer Gold mine.
Small, 200 lb bulk samples are being considered to better evaluate these veins.
During an evaluation of the newly acquired Tag deposit, 7 km north of Engineer, assay
values of the Main showing were confirmed with results of 4.05 g/t Au over 0.75m and
1.34 g/t Au over 1.8m.

All samples wer e sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd (“Actlabs”), Kamloops for sample
preparation and analysis. Gold assays were completed by metallic screen fire assay
analysis by method code 1A4 -500, where the entire sample is crushed to 80% -2mm
and a 500g sample spli t is pulverised and sieved to 149μm (100 mesh) with gold
analyzed by fire assay on the entire +149μm fraction and two splits of the -149μm
fraction. A final gold assay is calculated based on the gold content and weight of each
fraction. All samples were also analyzed for 38 additional elements by method code 1E3
involving aqua regia digestion of a 0.5g sub -sample followed by Inductively Coupled
Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP -OES) analysis. Additional quality control
samples are regularly analysed by the laboratory and include blanks, certified reference
materials, and duplicates of crushed and pulverized material. Actlabs is ISO/IEC
17025:2017 accredited for the procedures performed.
