Fosterville South Reports High Grade Intersection of 2m at 174.42 g/t Gold, including 1m at 348 g/t Gold During Drilling at Reedy Creek
Fosterville South Reports High Grade Intersection of 2m at 174.42 g/t Gold,
including 1m at 348 g/t Gold During Drilling at Reedy Creek
Highlights:
Strong gold assay of
2m
at 174.42 g/t Gold including
1m
at 348 g/t Gold in reverse circulation drill hole TRC02
High-grade results are shallow and from the most easterly holes drilled to date at Thompson Reef.
Assays pending from additional holes including from multiple holes at Reedy Creek Target within the Providence Project
VANCOUVER, BC

April 27, 2022
/CNW/ - Fosterville South Exploration Ltd. ("Fosterville South") or (the "Company") (TSXV: FSX) (OTCQX: FSXLF) (
Germany
:
4TU) is pleased to report that the maiden percussion drilling program at Thompson Reef and Prince of Wales Reef within the Reedy Creek target of the
Providence Project in
Victoria, Australia
has returned strong gold grades. Additional assays are pending from drilling at high priority gold targets at Reedy Creek.
Fosterville South intersected high-grade Gold in its reverse circulation drill program at Thompson Reef that forms part of the Reedy Creek Target, Providence
Project (see Figure 1).
Reverse circulation drill hole
TRC02 encountered
2m
at 174.42 g/t Gold from
23m
including
1m
at 348 g/t Gold from
24m
. Four reverse circulation holes
(TRC01 to 04) were drilled over a strike length of 130 meters.
To the northwest of the high-grade discovery hole at Weineroider Ridge, also at Reedy Creek, the Prince of Wales Reef was reverse circulation drilled over a
strike length of
300m
in 6 holes. Drillhole PWR01 returned
6m
at 2.98 g/t Gold from
53m
, including
2m
at 7.58 g/t Gold; drillhole PWR02 returned
1m
at 19.5 g/t
Gold from
22.0m
prior to intersecting a 9-meter (downhole width) stope; and reverse circulation hole PWR04 returned
3m
at 4.81 g/t Au from
12m
and
6m
at 1.51
g/t from
51m
. Drillhole PWR06 was abandoned in mineralisation due to drilling difficulties. The Prince of Wales Reef is a fault zone composed of brecciated
sediments which was historically mined up to 10 meters wide in shallow open cut operations. Drilling to date has shown parallel zones of mineralisation occur
within an overall package of up to 20 meters wide.
Diamond and reverse circulation drilling continue to focus expanding mineralization near the discovery hole RWR13
(
11m
at 31.34 g/t Gold including
4m
at 80.05
g/t Gold from
68m
)
and the recently announced high-grade intercept from diamond drill hole RWD01 (
0.7m
at 238.1 g/t Gold from
68.70m
and
0.80m
at 22.5
g/t Gold from
40.80m
) at Weineroider Ridge.
Fosterville South COO and Director, Rex Motton, states, "
Fosterville South continues to operate multiple drill rigs on different projects within the large 4,000 sq
km land package we have assembled over a multi-year period. After extensive fieldwork to identify priority targets, the reconnaissance drilling to date has
further assisted in prioritizing our target database. Assay results from several high priority areas are now pending.
The Reedy Creek goldfield, described in
today's news, is now yielding high grade intercepts at a number of prospects with more targets yet to be drilled. As an example, the Doyle's/Langridge prospect
was the largest high-grade producer and is slated for near term drilling. The entire field is looking very promising

The intercept cut-off grades are shown in the table, and they use a maximum internal waste of
2m
. True widths are shown for prospects that have sufficient
information otherwise not determined (ND). The assays are not capped. Coordinates are Australian projection MGA94 Zone 55. Reverse circulation drill holes
TRC01, TRC03, PWR03 & PWR05 did not contain significant gold mineralization. Drillhole TRC01 failed to reach the mineralised zone and PWR06 was
abandoned in the mineralised zone due to drilling difficulties.
In addition to Reedy Creek, Providence Project, assays from drilling on multiple other prospects are currently pending and drilling is ongoing. Drilling at the
Doyle's-Langridge prospect, which forms part of the Reedy Creek Target, Providence Project, will begin as soon as possible now that all drill permits are
approved.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
All assays were subject to quality control measures appropriate for reverse circulation drilling with duplicates, blanks and commercially available standards with
the expected results from the samples submitted. All assays were conducted by Onsite Laboratory Services Ltd (ISO: 9001), located in Bendigo,
Victoria
, using
fire assay techniques with a 50g charge and ICP or AAS finish. The quality control results are consistent.
About Fosterville South Exploration Ltd.
Fosterville South began with two, 100% owned, high-grade gold projects called the Lauriston and Golden Mountain Projects, and has since acquired a large area
of granted and application tenements containing further epizonal (low-temperature) high-grade gold mineralisation called the Providence Project and a large group
of recently consolidated license tenement applications called the Walhalla Belt Project, which contain a variety of epizonal and intrusion related style gold
mineralisation, all in the state of Victoria, Australia. The Fosterville South land package, assembled over a multi-year period, notably includes a 600 sq. km
property immediately to the south of and within the same geological framework that hosts Kirkland Lake Gold's Fosterville epizonal gold tenements. Additionally,
Fosterville South has gold-focused projects called the Moormbool and Beechworth, which are also located in the state of Victoria, Australia. Moormbool project
has epizonal style gold mineralisation and Beechworth has mesozonal and intrusion relation gold mineralisation.
All of Fosterville South's properties, with the possible exception of Moormbool, have had historical gold production from hard rock sources despite limited modern
exploration and drilling.
