GEOLOGIST, DR. MATTHIEU PICHE HAS PROVIDED GEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE
McKENZIE EAST GOLD PROJECT, VAL D’OR, QUEBEC.
April 7, 2020, Vancouver, B.C. – Black Tusk Resourc es Inc. (“Black Tusk” or the “Company) (CSE:TUSK,
FRA:0NB, OTC:BTKRF) is pleased to provide an update on the McKenzie East Gold Project. Dr. Mattieu
Piché, who recently became a director of Black Tusk , has provided his geological perspective of the
project. Dr. Piché has vast experience working in Quebec including studying the structural characterization
of mining camps in the Abitibi with the objective o f refining genetic models. His contributions have
enhanced the geoscientific knowledge linked to mining exploration.
Dr. Piché notes that the McKenzie East Property of Black Tusk flanks the eastern limit of Monarque Gold’s
McKenzie Break Property. He has prior experience on the McKenzie Break Project, having participated in
their 2019 drilling campaign. At the McKenzie Break, a pit-constrained indicated resource is summarized
as 939,860 metric tons (tonnes) at a grade of 1.59 g/t, and an underground indicated resource of 281,739
tonnes at a grade of 5.90 g/t, with an inferred res ource for underground deposit of 270,103 tonnes at
5.66 g/t (NI 43-101 Technical Report on the McKenzi e Break Project, April 17, 2018). The reader is
cautioned that resources that exist on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of potential on
the Black Tusk – McKenzie East Project.
Dr. Piché concludes that the McKenzie East Gold Pro ject lies within the eastern portion of the Archean -
aged Abitibi greenstone belt. Quebec government airborne geophysical surveys indicate east to southeast
trends in magnetics. Black Tusk recently completed drone supported mag surveying over the McKenzie
East property which has provided more detailed mapp ing of the underlying magnetics. The magnetic
features are interpreted as mapping the diorite stocks that host gold mineralization, extending from the
McKenzie Break property and trending 2.5 kilometers through the Black Tusk property.
Dr. Piché goes on to note that the Black tusk Property has been explored in the past where four diamond
drill holes are reported in the northern block. Eac h of these holes has intersected anomalous gold
mineralization. Seven diamond drill holes are reported in the south block with similar gold intersections.
Most of these holes occur within diorite units.
Continued work on the McKenzie East Property will i nclude surface mapping and sampling, followed by
diamond drilling of the most promising targets. A permit application has been submitted to allow for the
construction of 18 drill pads, 11 water supply stat ions and 3 kilometres of access trails. Black Tusk
anticipates conducting this exploration campaign during the 2020 work season.
“Given the current market conditions and strong forecast for gold prices, Black Tusk believes that we are
strategically positioned to execute on an exciting exploration program this year.” stated Richard Penn ,
CEO of Black Tusk Resources.
