EnGold Samples up to 9.65 gpt Gold
from New Zones at Lac La Hache
For Immediate Release. July 6, 2020. Vancouver, BC. David H. Brett, President & CEO, EnGold
Mines Ltd., (TSX -V: EGM, “EnGold” or the “Company”) reports that assays from a number of
newly identified gold targets within the Company’s 100% owned Lac La Hache Property in the
Cariboo Region of Central BC have returned gold values ranging from anomalous to 9.65 gpt
gold. A total of 67 bedrock grab samples were collected in early June during the initial follow-up to
new B-soil gold anomalies identified in 2019 geochemical surveys. Highlights are provided in a
series of images here.
Prospecting along the northernmost end of the Aurizon South Deposit within drill -road ditch
exposures produced a 30m wide section (to date, more prospecting is required) where all 8
bedrock gra b samples of limonitic gouge surrounding narrow quartz veins assayed anomalous
gold values (9.65, 1.48, 1.38, 1.34, 1.3, 1.2, 0.8, 0.6 gpt gold). A single gold pan of one of these
veins produced over 20 minute gold grains. This new at -surface zone of quartz veins lies 160 m
north of similar veins drilled in 2018 -19, where very high gold values up to 263 gpt gold were
assayed in bedrock grab samples on surface.

In the Jodie area, intensely weathered limonitic quartz -pyrite-chalcopyrite fractures within
potassically altered monzonitic host rocks assayed 2.83 grams per tonne (gpt) gold, and an
unusual, intensely altered (intrusion?) -breccia containing minute visibl e gold specs assayed 4.8
gpt gold. These results explain the highest B -soil value of 662 ppb gold at Jodie, and other
anomalies remain to be prospected there.
Within the large Aurizon Zone West soil grid, initial prospecting of the highest B -soil gold va lue
(1400 ppb) produced relatively low gold values less than 0.2 gpt gold, but another site yielded 5.2
gpt from red -brown rusty limonite -epidote-altered quartz vein s containing pyrite. This site lies
more than 700 m west-northwest of the Aurizon South Deposit.
“We believe the new quartz veins discovered at the north end of the Aurizon South Deposit
represent brittle fracturing in the hanging wall, well above the more intense hydrothermal breccia
which hosts the gold-copper-silver resource.” said Rob Shives, P.Geo., EnGold VP of Exploration.
“We previously found that the width and metal tenors of the breccia diminished in the upper 150
meters or so, so the possibility that the gold -related silicification extends upwards into the
overlying host intrusion at surface offers additional potential. We look forward to sampling more
veins, and hope to extend the zone to the east.”
“Finding new gold -bearing structures at surface based on visual anomalies in road cuts is
reshaping our exploration app roach in the Aurizon area ” said EnGold President & CEO David H .
Brett. “The many logging access roads in the area are receiving a fresh look.”
Update on Ann North Drilling
Recent high rainfall and flooding in central BC has delayed the Company’s resumption of deep
drilling at the Ann North prospect. Initially suspended at 604 m depth due to Covid -19 concerns
and wet ground conditions , an unseasonably wet June has intensified in July and as such the
planned drilling remains contingent on improved weather conditions to allow access to the site.
