GRANDE PORTAGE RESOURCES RELEASES RESULTS FROM 2022
HERBERT GOLD PROJECT IN S.E. ALASKA
VANCOUVER, BC, January 27th, 2023 – Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSX-V “GPG”); (OTCQB:
“GPTRF”); (Frankfurt: “GPB”); (" Grande Portage" or " the Company") is pleased to announce drill results
from its Herbert Gold Property in S.E. Alaska.
Five diamond drill holes were drilled from the AB pad for a total of 3631.5 meters. (Table 1)

Pad AB was located farther north than any previous pads to be able to explore the deeper projections of the
Goat, Sleeping Giant, Ridge and Main Veins. The pad was s ituated in the unmineralized gneisses, tonolites
and metasediments to the northeast of the major geologic contact with the Herbert quartz diorite which hosts
the gold -bearing veins so all the holes gave good geologic information about that major contact be fore
encountering the target gold-bearing unit. Hole 22AB-1 was lost before reaching its targets and could not be
re-entered. Hole 22AB-3 went completely through the quartz diorite and into the younger metasediments to
the west of and underlying the quartz diorite.
Results of the drilling program are shown in the chart below (Table 2):

Ian Klassen President reports “The deepest drilling program proved to be technically challenging, however
we are pleased that the shortened program continued to intersect potentially economic mineralization in some
of eastern-most drill holes completed on the property to date, albeit over narrower widths. It was expected
that the veins would eventually terminate against the eastern gneisses, however that contact seems to d ip
moderately to steeply to the east providing for extensions east of the surface contact providing for additional
resource potential. Future work will continue to test the structures to depth as well as internal gaps that exist
in areas within our well mineralized veins.”
As previously disclosed, the 2022 d rilling program progressed at a n uncharacteristically slower rate than
expected which meant that several highly prospective holes and targets that were planned , from multiple drill
pads, could not be achieved before the season ended. Some of the most prospective targets planned for the
2022 drill program were in that category and will be drilled in 2023 . Past drilling over many years has
confirmed that the Herbert gold project is a high -grade deposit. The chief primary gold -bearing veins at the
Herbert gold project are strong, persistent and extend from the Western boundary fault to the Eastern fault, a
distance averaging nearly one kilometer. Strong gold mineralization has been identified almost ever ywhere
along these structures, both laterally and to the deepest limits of drilling over the last number of years. Much
of the shallower portions of the veins have been tested with good to superb results. The Company will
resume drilling in the late spring and publish new details concerning its drill plan in the near future.
All core samples are cleaned and photographed before logging and sampling by a registered professional
geologist. Samples were analysed at ALS Canada Ltd. at its North Vancouver facilities using conventional
preparation techniques and analysed using Au-ICP21 for gold with screened metallic analyses for samples
where visible gold was noted. ME -MS41 techniques were used to determine additional element
concentrations. Blanks and standards were inserted in the field as well as in the laboratory with all checks
reporting acceptable results. ALS in independent of the Company and certified ISO-17025.
This news release has been prepared and approved by Carl Hale, CPG, a geologist with more than 40 years of
experience and a Qualified Person as defined under NI #43-101.
About Grande Portage:
Grande Portage Resources Ltd. is a publicly traded mineral exploration company 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 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 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 Au) and consists of: an indicated resource of
1,196,800 ounces of gold at an average gra de of 10.23 g/t Au (3,637,000 tonnes); and an inferred resource of
325,900 ounces of gold at an average grade of 8.91 g/t Au (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 Ag (3,637,000 tonn es); and an inferred resource of
169,300 ounces of silver at an average grade of 4.63 g/t silver (1,138,000 tonnes).
