GRANDE PORTAGE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES OUTSTANDING
OUTCROP SAMPLE ON GOAT VEIN GRADING 231 GPT/GOLD (6.75 OUNCES)
WITH 49.8 GPT/SILVER---DRILL RESULTS EXPECTED SOON
VANCOUVER, BC, September 6 , 201 7 – Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSX -V GPG) ("Grande
Portage" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has drilled approximately 2700 meters of its
planned 3700 meter summer exploration program on its Herbert Gold project located 25km north of Juneau,
Alaska. The drill program is designed to extend testing of three separate major veins and their satellite
structures.
Ten holes have no w been completed from three drill pad locations. The majority of these holes were
designed to expand the strike length of the current northernmost drilled vein (Goat Vein) and to also
intercept the Main v ein. All holes had good visuals including quartz with disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite,
galena and sphalerite and visible gold was observed in the core. Fire assay analyses from ALS Canada Ltd. are
expected imminently on the first few holes. Split core samples from the hearts of the veins are analyzed using
the metallic screening process to capture coarse gold which could otherwise be lost during processing.
Pads K and L (160 meters apart) were built approximately 100 meters nor th of the east -west trending Goat
vein. All holes inter sected the main structure and showed good mineraliz ation with associated hydrothermal
alteration. These intercepts in the drill holes establish a strike length of over 3 50 meters, however , when
combined with a discovery of new outcrops along the eastward p rojection of the vein, a total of
approximately 700 meters of strike length is now indicated. The deepest drilling to date shows good visuals
over 200 meters from surface. In addition, one of the holes from Pad L extended southward to the Main
vein system intersecting 15 meters of mineralized structure.
One of the newly d iscovered outcrops of the Goat v ein was recently exposed by the ra pid erosion of loose
boulders and gravel which previously covered the vein. The vein here consists of approxi mately 4 feet of
quartz outcrop with disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite, galena and sp halerite and visible gold . Hanging wall
alteration of the quartz diorite host rock reaches at least 6 feet thick and the footwall contact zone is covered
in the creek bed. One of the Company’s onsite geologists hammered numerous representative grab samples
over a 4 -foot width of the exposed Goat vein. The assay results returned from ALS Canada graded an
impressive 231gpt gold (6.75 opt) with 49.8 gpt silver (1.45 opt).
Two long holes were drilled from Pad U and the drill rig is now being moved to Pad Y where the last two
holes will be dr illed, targeting both the Main v ein and the Deep Trench vein. All four of t hese holes target
the veins approximately twice as deep as previous drilling, extending the known deposit by an additional 200
meters in depth . Hole 17U-1 intersected over 10 meters of mineralized structure of the Deep Trench vein
over 400 meters from the surface and 17U-2 intersected nearly 15 meters of mineralized structure of the Main
vein 300 meters from the surface outcrop.
Ian Klassen, Grande Portage’s CEO remarked, “ We are extremely pleased to have defined a substantial
increase in the mineralized strike length located in the eastern test areas, and to confirm the mineralization at

depths beneath previous drilling. Management is highly encouraged as we look forward to expanding
tonnage and ounces within this resource”.

About Grande Portage Resources Ltd.
Grande Portage Resources Ltd. is a Tier 2 publicly traded mineral exploratio n company principally focused
on the Herbert Gold discovery situated approximately 25 km north of Juneau, Alaska. The Company holds a
100% interest in the Herbert property. The Herbert Gold property has a NI 43 -101 technical report
completed with indicated resources of 821,100 tonnes containing 182,400 oz of gold at 6.91 g/t. Inferred
resources of 51,600 tonnes containing 12,800 oz of gold at 7.73 g/t. The system is open to length and depth
and is host to at least six main composite vein -fault structures that contain ribbon structure quartz -sulfide
veins. The project lies prominently within the 160km long Juneau Gold Belt, which has produced nearly
seven million ounces of gold. Grande Portage conducted an initial drill program in the fall o f 2010. The
results from the drilling program confirm the identification of major elements of a complex mesothermal
gold-quartz system with numerous targets. Subsequently, the Company has conducted follow up drill
programs of with a total of 108 diamond drill holes from ten different platform locations.
The Herbert Gold Property is host to abundant composite vein -fault structures containing ribbon structure
quartz-sulfide veins and lies prominently within the 100 -mile long Juneau gold belt, which has pro duced
nearly seven million ounces of gold through a total depth range of thousands of feet.
