Granada Gold Mine Intersects 11.45 g/t Gold
Over 33 Meters, Supports Continuity of High-
Grade Structures
ROUYN NORANDA, QC
,
Jan. 9, 2020
/CNW/ - Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (the
"Company" or "Granada") is pleased to provide assays results from the last hole in the latest drill
program at its 100%-owned
Granada
gold deposit in
Rouyn-Noranda
. Unexpected near-surface,
high-grade mineralization has been discovered within the recently explored two-kilometer LONG
Bars Zone of the five and half kilometer Granada Shear zone which trends east-west on the
property.
The 450-meter Fall, 2019 drill program focused on testing the gold grade continuity and variability
within mineralized structures. The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone contains, based
on historical detailed mapping as well as from current and historical drilling, up to twenty-two
mineralized structures trending east-west over five and half kilometers. Three of these structures
were mined historically from two shafts and two open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to
10 grams per tonne gold from two shafts down to
236 m
and
498 m
with open pit grades from 5 to
3.5 grams per tonne gold.
Highlights:
11.45
g/t in drill hole GR-19-A from 0 to
33 m
core length including high-grade intercepts of
42.5
g/t from 0 to
1.5 m
,
480
g/t from 8.1 to
8.5 m
, and
70.8
g/t from 31.9 to
32.4 m
. The horizontal
width, based on outcrop, is about 9 meters and true width is estimated at 6.3 meters. The core
length reported is estimated to have intersected only 15-20% of the entire thickness of the
zone. However, it is a real known extent in that direction down dip of gold mineralization within
the intersected length. Assays are uncut except where indicated.
A further
50 m
strike length of stripping uncovered a massive mineralized quartz zone exposing
strong veining with visible gold on surface
Hole GR-19-A was drilled down-dip from a surface exposure of the mineralized zone composed of a
massive quartz vein within a sheared and altered conglomerate adjacent to feldspar porphyry to the
south. The entire mineralized zone has a 9-meter horizontal thickness in that sector. GR-19-A was
drilled at azimuth 21 degrees North with a dip of 41 degrees in NQ core size.

Frank J. Basa
, P.Eng., Granada Gold's president and chief executive officer, comments: "The
current drill program has unlocked the high-grade, near-surface potential and shows that the
Granada
gold deposit resource may have been underestimated.
An ongoing drilling and stripping exploration program at
Granada
will focus on defining new zones of
high-grade mineralization, both on surface and at depth. Numerous high-grade intercepts have been
found from surface to below a depth of 1000 meters. It is open both at depth and on east-west
strike for 5.5 kilometers."

(CNW Group/Granada Gold Mine Inc.)
The company has completed surface stripping over a 25-meter by 50-meter extent in the immediate
area and has begun another short drill program to further test for near-surface high grade
mineralization.
The company has retained the drilling services of MultiDrilling based in
Rouyn-Noranda
. The program
was under supervision of GoldMinds Geoservices technical team.
Private Placement Closing
The Company has closed a private placement financing raising gross proceeds of
$200,000
. A total
of 2,000,000 units were issued with each unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the
Company and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share
of the Company for a period of two years from closing at an exercise price of
$0.15 cents
per
share.
All securities issued are subject to a four-month-and-a-day hold period expiring on
May 10, 2020
, in
accordance with applicable securities laws. The private placement is subject to final TSX Venture
Exchange approval.
The proceeds of the private placement will be used for surface exploration, trenching, and historical
resampling of drill core on the Company's Granada Gold Property in Québec and for general
working capital purposes.
Qualified person
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed by
Claude Duplessis
, P.Eng.,
GoldMinds Geoservices Inc. member of Québec Order of Engineers and a qualified person in
accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards.
Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kilogram screen fire assay or standard 50-
gram fire-assaying-AA (Atomic Absorption) finish or gravimetric finish at (i) ALS Laboratories in
Val
d'Or
, Québec,
Thunder Bay, Ontario
,
Sudbury, Ontario
or
Vancouver, British Columbia
. The screen
assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain visible gold. All samples are also
analyzed for multi-elements, using an Aqua Regia-ICP-AES method at ALS Laboratories. The drill
program, Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") and interpretation of results is performed by
qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best
practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 12 samples for QA/QC purposes for this
program in addition to the lab QA/QC.
About Granada Gold Mine Inc.
Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop the Granada Gold Property near
Rouyn-Noranda,
Quebec
. Approximately 120,000 meters of drilling has been completed to date on the property,
focused mainly on the extended LONG Bars zone which trends 2 kilometers east-west over a
potential 5.5 kilometers of mineralized structure. The highly prolific Cadillac Break, the source of
more than 75 million plus ounces of gold production in the past century, cuts through the north part of
the
Granada
property.

Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An
Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured and
Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably
expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral
Resources with continued exploration.
+ Open pit mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au within a conceptual pit
shell. Cut-off grades are based on a gold price of
US$1,300
per ounce, a foreign exchange rate of
US$0.76
, and a gold recovery of 95%.
The Company is in possession of all mining permits that are required to commence the initial mining
phase, known as the "Rolling Start", which allows the company to mine up to 550 tonnes per day.
