Crystal Lake Revises Interpretation of Geochemical Data to
Review Drill Target Selection to Intercept Massive Nickel-
Copper-Cobalt Targets at Depth
Vancouver, BC – Crystal Lake Mining Corporation (TSX-V: “CLM”), or the “Company” is pleased to
announce exploration results from its EL1 Property in NW Ontario EL1 ( formerly known as the
Allen Property).
The difficulty of finding a massive sulphide source of high -grade nickel-copper-cobalt sulphides
on a large mafic-ultramafic body prompted management to employ an interpretative geochemical
study referred to as “SGH” (Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbons”). This method was
selected in order to unravel surface mineralized trends to depth and pinpoint targets for drilling.
Following a recent re -interpretation of data with Actlabs geoscientists and Crystal Lake
consultants, the Company is confident that it has identified possible deep targets of more massive
nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization on its EL1 property though this innovative nano-geochemical
process.
SGH is an “organic”, deep-penetrating geochemical survey which targets individual metals. In this
instance, Ni, Cu and PGEs were analyzed and presented as separate anomalies. SGH is the only
known organic geochemical method that, in spite of the name, uses “non-gaseous” semi-volatile
organic compounds interpreted using a forensic signature approach. The analysis involves the
testing for 162 hydrocarbon compounds in the C5 -C17 carbon series. These hydrocarbons have
been shown to be residues from the decomposition of bacteria and microbes that feed on the
target commodity as they require inorganic elements to catalyze the reactions necessary to
develop hydrocarbons and grow cells in their life cycle. Specific classes of hydrocarbons have been
successful in delineating mineral targets found at over 950 meters in depth. SGH is unique and
should not be confused with other hydrocarbon tests or traditional analyses that measure C1
(methane) to C5 (pentane) or other gases.
Actlabs SGH analysis has successfully shown the presence of deeply buried mineral deposits for
other companies. In a Canadian Mineral Research Organization project (CAMIRO) initiated in1997,
nine of ten mineral deposits were successfully detected at study sites that were specifically
chosen where other geochemical methods were previously unsuccessful.

The study sites included magmatic Ni -Cu sulphides as one target and a unique finger print was
developed for this deposit type. The applicability of SGH for exploration has resulted in the
availability of a cost-effective method which can be used in tandem with geophysics to improve
success rate. Hence management may conduct further geophysics to improve future drilling
success.
The re- interpretation of the SGH Pathfinder Class maps illustrates anomalies that are vertical
projections over mineralization at the shallowest location. Identified nested -segmented halo
anomalies suggest that due to the significant larger dispersion patterns the source of the
mineralized fluids may be found deeper.
The SGH results at the EL1 Property survey illustrate separate an omalies with signatures
associated with copper, nickel and PGE. Based on the Laboratory SGH rating scale of 0 to 6 the
results of the Dobie intrusion study on the patented E L1 ground has been rated from 5.0 to 5.5 ;
this indicates highly rated drill targets.
Wally Boguski CEO & President of Crystal Lake states : "We are encouraged that the re -
interpretation has pointed us to increasingly prospective drill targets . The data is consistent with
our Geological team ’s belief that a possible source of massive high -grade Nickel/Cobalt
mineralization may be found at depth with further drilling”.
