Crystal Lake Extends Burgundy Ridge Discovery to Depth, Adds Second Drill Rig at Newmont Lake Project
Crystal Lake Extends Burgundy Ridge Discovery to Depth, Adds
Second Drill Rig at Newmont Lake Project
August 12, 2019, Vancouver, British Columbia – Crystal Lake Mining Corporation (TSXV: CLM
OTC: SIOCF FSE: SOG-FF) (“Crystal Lake” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that shallow
mineralization encountered in first-ever drilling at Burgundy Ridge last fall (four reverse circulation test
holes, see March 7, 2019 news release) has deep roo ts, extending well beyond a copper-gold enriched
limestone body as maiden diamond drilling continues at this new grassroots discovery in Northwest B.C.’s
Eskay Camp.
Multiple intrusive phases, breccias, alteration and mineralization styles have been intersected in each of
the three holes completed to date. Significantly, t he just-completed third hole of the current diamond
drilling program at Burgundy Ridge was the deepest hole yet, completed over a length of 441 meters
(vertical depth of 320 meters) as intensity of mineralization increased downhole in a hydrothermal breccia.
Highlights:
• All the right indicating mineralization styles and alterations were visible starting from surface, yet
beyond 270 meters the alteration in the third hole intensified and was mineralized with varying
amounts of blebby pyrite+chalcopyrite+malachite+copper oxides;
• Beyond 330 meters the hole encountered potassium-enriched hematite-cemented breccias cut by
carbonate veins and mineralized with varying amounts of blebby chalcopyrite+pyrite;
• This third hole was collared 450 meters northwest of last year’s RC platforms and drilled toward
the southeast. As mineralization appeared to increase in intensity, the hole was extended beyond
its planned depth. It proceeded under the ice from about 200 meters and ended in a pyrite zone at
a depth of 441 meters.
Drill core is being rushed for assay. Dr. Peter Lig htfoot, Crystal Lake Technical Adviser, recently
concluded that “significant and coherent underlying mineralization processes at Burgundy are driven in
part by an impressive fluid highway” (see July 16, 2019 news release).

The fourth diamond drill hole at the top of Burgundy Ridge zone has just commenced.
Crystal Lake Targets High-Grade Gold at Northwest Zone
Elsewhere at the 550 sq. km Newmont Lake Project, Crystal Lake has added a second drill rig to target an
extension of the historic high-grade Northwest Gold Zone. Hy-Tech Drilling will commence a series of
orientated diamond drill holes shortly.
Many areas within and around the historic zone were not sampled by previous operators. Crystal Lake’s
team was fortunate to recover an extensive amount o f historic boxes of core onsite and an ongoing
relogging and resampling program has returned very encouraging results, including 28.7 g/t Au and 3.65
g/t Ag over 0.9 m (207.6m to 298.5m) from 2008 dril l hole R08-03 (true width unknown at this time).
Historically, this hole showed no high-grade assay results and had been interpreted as closing off the zone
on the northeast end. Crystal Lake’s results demonstrate otherwise.
Recently completed geochemical analysis by Crystal Lake already supports the strong potential for an
extension of the high-grade system to the northeast. In addition, initial results from an induced polarization
(IP) survey carried out by the Company’s geophysics contractor indicate the presence of a chargeability

anomaly northeast of the historic zone coincident w ith the contact between resistive and less resistiv e
lithologies - a prospective area to target new high-grade gold mineralization.

P. Geo., VP Exploration for Crystal Lake Mining, a Qualified Person responsible for the scientific and
technical information contained herein under National Instrument 43-101 standards.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Historic core samples from the Northwest Gold Zone were sent to MSA Labs’ preparation facility in
Terrace, B.C., where samples were prepared using method PRP-910. Samples were dried, crushed to 2mm,
split 250g and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Prepped samples were sent to MSA Labs’ analytical
facility in Langley, B.C, where they were analyzed for gold using method FAS-221 (fire assay-AAS
finish). Gold assays greater than 100 g/t Au were automatically analyzed using FAS-425 (fire assay with
a gravimetric finish). Core samples were analyzed for 53 elements using method IMS-230, multi-element
ICP-MS 4-acid digestion, ultra-trace level. Silver assay results greater than 100 g/t Ag and cobalt, copper,
nickel, lead and zinc greater than 10,000ppm were automatically analyzed by ore grade method ICF-6.
Crystal Lake Mining conducts its own QA/QC program where five standard reference material pulps, five
blank reference material samples and two field dupl icates are inserted for every 100 samples when
analyzing core samples.
