Margaux Resources Ltd. Implements Technical Database, Continues Compilation
and Targeting Work on Cassiar Gold Property and Retains Market Maker
CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (January 3, 2020)
• 1MM oz gold Inferred Resource at 0.7 g/t Au cut-off for past-producing Taurus Property
Calgary, Alberta - (Newsfile Corp. – January 3, 2020) - Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MRL,
OTCQB:MARFF) ("Margaux" or the "Company") recently filed a National Instrument 43-101 Technical
Report to support its maiden mineral resource estimate for the Taurus Deposit on the Cassiar Gold
property (the “Cassiar Property”) in British Columbia, Canada (see Margaux press release November 13,
2019). Details of the 1 MM oz gold inferred resource at 1.43 g/t Au (0.7 g/t Au cut-off) were announced
in the Company’s news release dated September 11, 2019.
The Margaux technical team continues to compile and verify historical technical data in preparation for
the upcoming exploration season. Implementation of a database system to house all technical data is
underway. Existing digital data is being vetted and transferred, while additional data from historical work
on the property is being incorporated. The Cassiar Project has an extensive exploration history, with data
collected by many operators and explorers. Compilation and analysis of this data was a recommendation
in the recent 43-101 technical report. The database will provide a robust foundation for geological model
and target development and ranking at Taurus and across the entire Property.
In addition to technical work, Margaux is advancing reporting, permitting, and logistical planning to
support the 2020 exploration program, which will include drilling, and is expected to commence in May.
The program will focus on quality infill, extension, and exploration targets, primarily near the 1 MM oz
Taurus resource area. Margaux is committed to delivering results, with a cost-effective and efficient
program.
“With a history of gold mining on high-grade vein deposits across the Property, and a recently-confirmed
million-ounce bulk tonnage resource at surface, we see a lot of upside at Cassiar, and look forward to
further exploring and developing the Cassiar Property in 2020, “ stated Tyler Rice, President and CEO of
Margaux.
Background
The Cassiar Property is a road-accessible, advanced-stage orogenic gold system located in northern British
Columbia, Canada. In June 2019, Margaux Resources Ltd. announced that the shareholders of Wildsky
Resources Inc. approved the sale of its 100% interest in the Cassiar Property by way of an all-share option
agreement with Margaux (see Margaux news release dated June 24, 2019). Final approval of the
transaction was granted by the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) in November (see Margaux news release
dated November 13, 2019).
On the Cassiar Property, gold mineralization occurs along a 15 km corridor. Within this structural corridor,
gold occurs both as discrete high-grade veins and as near-surface low-grade style mineralization. Past

production from the Cassiar Property (primarily 1979 -1997) is approximately 920,000 tonnes at an
average grade of 11.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, or a total of 350,000 ounces of hard rock gold. During
this period, portions of the Cassiar Property were held by different operators, and production was from
different mine operations (predominantly underground) utilizing different mill facilities.
The Cassiar Property has subsequently been amalgamated and now covers 56,000 hectares. It is bisected
by Highway 37, with significant existing road access infrastructure and a 30 person camp with grid power.
Margaux believes there to be good potential for new discoveries of low -grade bulk tonnage gold
mineralization on its Cassiar Property. Numerous known high-grade gold showings on the Cassiar Property
have been tested by only limited drilling, and the property-wide potential for low-grade bulk tonnage
deposits has only been investigated at Taurus, to date.
