GRANDE PORTAGE RESOURCES COMPLETES DRILL PROGRAM AT
THE HERBERT GOLD PROJECT IN SE ALASKA
VANCOUVER, BC, November 3, 2022 – Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSX-V “GPG”); (OTCQB:
“GPTRF”); (Frankfurt: “GPB”); (" Grande Portage" or " the Company") is pleased to announce that it has
completed its 2022 drill program at the Herbert Gold project in SE Alaska.
The Company completed its 5 deep holes with approximately 3700 metres of drill core. The program targeted
both step out and in -fill holes, effectively expanding the database of the established resource and improving
the Company's resource parametres.
The Company's drilling continued to test a number of the deposit's primary veins but also penetrated the
eastern extensions of the Sleeping Giant and North veins as well as numerous subsidiary veins and structures
found within the deposit.
Final sample results are expected throughout December and into 2023 due to continued delays at the assay
labs. Lab results will be reported in future disclosures as they are received from the lab and QA/QC has been
met. Samples taken for assay are split from the core with a diamond saw with one half being sent to ALS
Canada Ltd. an independent lab from the Company. The Company's geologists, who are logging the core
have identified certain sections which could contain coarse gold and has marked them for metallic screening
which captures the nuggety gold in the assay. Known standards and blanks are inserted into the strea m of
samples on a regular basis and all core is photographed with a high resolution camera for future viewing.
In addition, the Company confirms that Admiralty Environmental, a Juneau based environmental consultant
and water quality laboratory, continued its program of gathering baseline water sampling adding to the
company's expanding database from previous years. Results were received this year from s everal
environmental water samples that were collected in 2021 and submitted to the laboratory to test for
environmental effects after mining commences. Specifically, the tests determine the potential for mine waste
rock to generate acidic run -off and/or harmful concentrations of toxic metals. These and p revious tests
results conducted in 2020 were extremely positive environmentally showing no tendencies to produce acid
rock drainage due to the high inherent carbonate content and the low sulfide content of the host rock and
altered wallrock.
Mr. Ian Klassen, President and CEO commented “The 2022 diamond drill season has been completed and
we await the assay results which are expected over the balance of the year and into early 2023. Our 2022
program began late due to unforeseen contractor and supply chain d elays. This, coupled with unseasonably
poor and foggy weather, further interrupted the Company’s original drill plan. That said, our geological team
has certainly gained more knowledge into the resource at the Herbert property. Grande Portage is funded for
next year’s program and management looks forward to adding 2021 & 2022 drill results to the Herbert Gold
database”.

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 over seven mill ion ounces of
gold. The Company’s updated NI#43 -101 Mineral Resource estimate reported at a base case mineral
resources cut -off grade of 3.0 grams per tonne gold (g/t gold) and consists of: an indicated resource of
1,196,800 ounces of gold at an average g rade of 10.23 g/t gold (3,637,000 tonnes); and an inferred resource
of 325,900 ounces of gold at an average grade of 8.91 g/t gold (1,138,000 tonnes), as well as an Indicated
resource of 686,700 ounces of silver at an average grade of 5.87 g/t silver (3,637,000 tonnes); and an inferred
resource of 169,300 ounces of silver at an average grade of 4.63 g/t silver (1,138,000 tonnes).
