Grande Portage’s 2019 Ground Reconnaissance on LiDAR Survey Confirms Gold
in Vein Structures 1.5 km southwest of the Deep Trench Vein
VANCOUVER, BC, October 22, 201 9 – Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: “GPG”); (OTCQB:
“GPTRF”); (Frankfurt: “GPB”); (“Grande Portage” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results
of its 2019 surface exploration follow-up of promising structures identified from its 2018 LiDAR survey at
the Herbert Gold Project near Juneau, Alaska.
The highest priority structures investigated were East -West topographic features , which are nearly
parallel to the well-mineralized known veins on the Herbert Property, specifically the Main, Goat and
Deep Trench Veins. Most of these structures were identified during early geologic reconnaissance of the
property in 200 7. In 2019 follow -up began with closeup helicopter flights to locate areas with visible
iron-stained alteration, shearing , outcropping veins, and also to scope out possible foot access to the
structures. The majority of t he structures occur to the south of the Deep Trench Vein and crosscut the
Herbert Ridge.

project/
One of these structures , which crosses the Herbert Ridge approximately 1500 meters southwest of the
Deep Trench Vein , can be followed on the ground and LiDAR maps for at least 1.5 kilometers. Where
this fault zone crosses the Herbert Ridge there is no outcrop but areas of Fe-stained and altered float
material and quartz were found at the surface directly over the fault projection. Sample #56618 of this
float returned values of 3.5 gpt/Au, 8.1 gpt/Ag, .071%/Pb and .021%/Zn. This float sample assayed
highly anomalous values of the other pathfinder elements commonly associated with gold.
Just east of the Herbert ridgetop approximately 170 meters north of the structure where sample #56618
was collected lies an area which has produced significant gold in assay samples. As t here were no
outcrops, the samples consist of small chunks of mineralized vein material in the float. Sample #147247,
taken in 2007 (not previously released) , returned 42.1 gpt /Au and one taken in 2013 (not previously
released) returned 63.7 gpt /Au, 168 gpt /Ag, 0.42%/Pb and 0.52%/Zn. This are a appears to be in an
intersection zone where several structures meet, the predominate one having a NE -SW trend. The east-
west trending North Vein, which lies approximately 300 meters north of the Goat Vein , was also tested.
Grab samples taken from this vein returned samples up to 11.60 gpt/Au.
Samples were analyzed by Bureau Veritas Labs, an independent lab in Richmond, B.C., with the more
highly mineralized intervals processed using the metallic screening and fire assay method which assures
no coarse gold is missed in the analysis.

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 nearly
seven million ounces of gold. The Company’s recent Mineral Resource estimate is quoted at a base case
mineral resources cut -off grade of 2.50 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and consists of: An indicated
resource of 606,500 ounces of gold at an average grade of 10.03 g/t Au (1 ,880,500 tonnes); and An
inferred resource of 251,700 ounces of gold at an average grade of 14.15 g/t Au (553,429 tonnes).
