Outlining 2 Major Target Areas for High-Grade Gold, Silver and
Copper Systems
September 4, 2019, Vancouver, British Columbia - Crystal Lake Mining Corporation (TSXV:
CLM OTC: SIOCF FSE: SOG-FF) (“Crystal Lake” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
further positive results from the ongoing exploration program on the Company’s Newmont Lake
Project in the heart of BC’s Golden Triangle, Eskay Camp. Drilling and surface work continue to
expand known zones and turn up new discoveries with expansive footprints.
The in-field exploration program that started in May 2019 has collected approximately (approximate
values are given as exploration is ongoing):
• 2,500 soil samples for assay
• 1,500 rock samples for assay
• 4,500 hyperspectral samples analyzed in-house via TerraSpec Halo
• 700 core samples from historic un-sampled core for assay
• 12 line-km of induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey
• 300 km2 of geological mapping in a variety of detail
• Over 4,000 meters of diamond drilling with all samples submitted for assay
• Extensive 3D deposit modelling
• Construction of a brand new state-of-the-art 50-person exploration camp
• Construction of a logistical network for future lower-cost exploration
The results of the program have delineated major new discoveries in the Burgundy Ridge Copper-
Gold-Silver (Cu-Au-Ag) alkalic porphyry trend, as well as new high-grade gold (Au) targets near
the historic gold resource at the NW Zone and along the greater 10km long Newmont Lake Gold
Corridor along the Mclymont Fault.
The program continues to produce new mineral discoveries on surface on a weekly basis and, two
diamond drill rigs are still turning on both the Burgundy Ridge Copper-Gold-Silver System and the
Newmont Lake Gold Corridor Trend.
Burgundy Ridge Cu-Au-Ag Alkalic Porphyry
Results from the 2019 surface exploration and diamond drilling program have confirmed the
presence of a large Cu -Au-Ag alkalic porphyry trend over an area which includes Burgundy,
Telena and the 72 Zone 2.3 kms away.
Crystal Lake is very pleased by the performance of SwiftSure Diamond Drilling as their drill
continues to turn on the first ever diamond drill holes at Burgundy Ridge (See images of 2019
diamond drill core from Hole #7 below) . Initial results have visually delineated a Cu-Au-Ag
porphyry with related high -grade skarn system first sampled in 2012. No significant work was
completed past 2014 until Crystal Lake intersected mineralization at depth in a late-season RC drill
program in October 2018. (see press release March 7th, 2019). Preliminary interpretations of surface
and drill core indicate a large high-grade skarn body adjacent to megacrystic syenite / epidote-garnet
hydrothermal breccia porphyry system.
Newmont Lake’s Burgundy Ridge Copper-Gold-Silver Zone Displaying Completed Drill Hole
Orientations and Mineralization Showings
Further drilling approximately 2.3 kilometers to the northeast along the Burgundy – Telena – 72’
Zone trend intercepted new mineralization hosted in potassic/hematite altered intrusions in the form
of disseminated, and vein-hosted chalcopyrite + bornite adjacent to historic high-grade Cu-Au-Ag
skarn-type mineralization.
Unprecedented ice/snow retreat is exposing new mineral showings on surface along the trend
consisting of potassic/hematite altered megacrystic to porphyritic syenites with a variety of
chalcopyrite mineralization styles.
Chalcopyrite with minor malachite mineralization dominating the cement of a hydrothermal
breccia with K-feldspar altered megacrystic syenite clasts. Assays pending. Image starting at 169m
in BRDDH19-013; the 7th diamond drill hole at Burgundy Ridge. Note mineralization is visually
high-grade and not representative of the entire hole.
Massive chalcopyrite mineralization within potassic-altered megacrystic syenite hydrothermal
breccia. Assays pending. Image starting at 172m in BRDDH19-013; the 7th diamond drill hole at
Burgundy Ridge. Note mineralization is visually high-grade and not representative of the entire
hole.
K-feldspar altered megacrystic syenite with chalcopyrite mineralization found in outcrop at “Rock
Island II”; a new showing ~470 meters NE of Burgundy Ridge. Assays pending. Approximate
discovery date: August 15th, 2019.
Chalcopyrite, pyrite, and sphalerite mineralization with potassic altered syenite clasts of a
hydrothermal breccia at “Green Rock”; a new showing ~175m south of drill pad “C-2” along the
Burgundy Ridge Trend. Assays pending. Approximate discovery date: September 1st, 2019.
Chalcopyrite mineralization hosted in a potassic, hematite, and carbonate altered porphyritic
syenite found at outcrop on “Rock Island I”; a new showing ~700m NE of Burgundy Ridge and
~500m NW of Telena. Assays pending. Approximate discovery date August 10th, 2019.
Chalcopyrite, chalcocite, and malachite mineralization. Image starting at 77.5m in BRDDH19-
001; the 1st diamond drill hole at Burgundy Ridge. Note mineralization is visually high-grade and
not representative of the entire hole. Assays pending.
Chalcopyrite, chalcocite, and malachite mineralization within k-feldspar altered hydrothermal
breccia. Image starting at 282.4m in BRDDH19-004; the 3rd diamond drill hole at Burgundy
Ridge. Note mineralization is visually high-grade and not representative of the entire hole. Assays
pending.
Chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization starting at 197m in BRDDH19-001; the 1st diamond drill
hole at Burgundy Ridge. Note mineralization is visually high-grade and not representative of the
entire hole. Assays Pending.
Disseminated chalcopyrite with chalcopyrite and magnetite/hematite mineralization in carbonate
veins hosted within potassic altered bimodal syenite. Image starts at 231.4m of STDDH19-006; the
3rd diamond drill hole at 72’ Zone in 2019. This target area is apart of what is believed to be a
2.3km Cu-Au-Ag rich trend including the Burgundy Ridge – Telena – 72’ trend. Note mineralization
is visually high-grade and not representative of the entire hole. Assays pending.
