Deer Horn Provides Q2 2020 Shareholder Update
Deer Horn Provides Q2 2020 Shareholder Update
Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 30, 2020 – Tyrone Docherty, President and CEO of Deer Horn Capital Inc.
(CSE: DHC) (the “Company” or “Deer Horn”), has provided shareholders with the Company’s Q2 2020
Shareholder Update.
With precious metals prices on a sustained rise, we completed Q2 2020 on a very positive note. Both our
Preliminary Economic Assessment and planned bulk sample for the Deer Horn Property became even
more viable than before, and we opened new prospecting and staking in Northern British Columbia with
our Indigenous partners at Cheona Metals.
A Review of Our Revenue Model
I want to remind shareholders that Deer Horn Capital is not your typical exploration company. Our intent
is to build a new revenue model for the junior resource industry, one that aligns with key trends in
exploration, Indigenous relations and technology. An essential aspect of our model is partnering with
industry leaders in critical and strategic metals extraction, manufacturing, supply and research as well with
relevant Indigenous, governmental and educational institutions.
We are working to monetize this strategy through our Deer Horn Growth Model, which includes:
1. Advanced Exploration
2. Project Generation
3. First Nations Cooperation
4. Scientific Innovation
5. Sustainable Operation
Strategic Partnership: Prospecting and Staking with Cheona Metals
Last year we established a partnership with First Nations mineral exploration entrepreneur Mr. Allen
Edzerza to explore highly prospective areas of northern British Columbia.
This was a landmark agreement, both for its value in opening vast areas of Northern BC to Deer Horn, but
also for its intent of helping First Nations exercise their inherent rights and title to mineral resources in
their ancestral lands.
This agreement offers many potential benefits to Deer Horn shareholders, including opportunities for
Deer Horn to be a project generator in a very productive region of BC with the possibility of near‐term
cash flow.
Field Work in July
In early July of this year, we sent our first team into unstaked and largely unexplored ground of Northern
British Columbia near the “Golden Horseshoe,” or Golden Triangle region of northern British Columbia.
Prospecting for this program was based on generations of Indigenous lore about silver and gold
discoveries on ground that had seen little, if any, investigation by prospectors. We expect to announce
results and follow‐up to this work later in the year.
Higher Gold Prices Reinforce Bulk Sampling and PEA
With gold prices hitting all‐time highs and silver prices at five‐year highs, our planned, 10,000‐tonne bulk
sample program looks more viable than ever. In addition, our Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)
for the Deer Horn Project was calculated using metals prices of US$1,300 per ounce for gold and US$17
per ounce for silver. Current prices represent increases of roughly 46% and 30% respectively from the
original PEA calculations. Considering that the PEA showed a 1.6‐year payback and potential for a viable
operation at the lower prices, we are more confident than ever that we can build a successful operation
at the Deer Horn Property.
Looking Ahead
Dependent on securing additional funding, this year we are hoping to explore the Deer Horn property’s
copper porphyry potential where prospecting in 2012 identified new showings indicative of a buried
copper porphyry system. Known as the North Pond and H Spot zones, samples there produced results as
high as 4240 ppm Cu and 6.6 g/t Ag.
We are also planning a private placement unit financing of 3,000,000 shares at a price of $0.10 per unit.
Each unit will include a two‐year full warrant exercisable at $0.15. Each unit will consist of one common
share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.15 for a period of two years following
the close of the private placement.
I look forward to sharing fresh news as the year progresses.
