GRANDE PORTAGE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES DRILL PROGRAM NOW UNDERWAY
VANCOUVER, BC, July 9 , 201 8 –Grande Por tage Resources Ltd. (TSX -V: “GPG” ); (OTCQB:
“GPTRF”); (Frankfurt: “GPB”); ("Grande Portage" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has
commenced drill and crew mobilization and expects to commence drilling by July 11 using two 12 hour shifts
per day.
Grande Portage intends to drill approximately 18 -20 holes from up to three different platforms which will
test up to four separate major veins and their satellitic structures. The 2018 drill program is a continuation of
previous drilling which successfully tested multiple gold-quartz veins of the Herbert mesothermal vein system
with very e ncouraging results. The current drill program will test targets primarily focusing on expansion of
the gold-bearing Goat and Deep Trench veins.
Ian Klassen, Grande Portage's CEO remarked, " Our technical team has outlined a great prog ram for 2018.
Past drill ing yielded very encouraging results including numerous multi ounce assays on several veins
including; DDH11E-2 which reported 37.07 g/t gold over 15.7m, DDH12 -311A which reported 59.91 g/t
gold over 8.08m. Our project is well situated in a historically proven and prolific gold belt. We are really
encouraged by past results and look forward to building upon our most recent and significantly enhanced NI
43-101 filed in May 2018.”
In addition to the drilling program, a LiDAR survey was recently flown over the project area covering
approximately 5000 acres which will provide a significantly enhanced topographic base map of the area.
LiDAR can effectively penetrate brush and tree -covered terrain making topographic features and lineations
caused by structures in the bedrock much more easily mapped on the ground which helps greatly in the all -
important structural interpretation of the bedrock hosting the Herbert deposits.
Carl Hale, CPG, a geologist with more than 40 years experience, is the Qualified Person for this release within
the meaning of NI 43-101 and has reviewed the technical content of this release and has approved its content.
