Highway 50 GOLD Provides Drilling Update FOR Monroe Project
NEWS RELEASE
HIGHWAY 50 GOLD PROVIDES DRILLING UPDATE FOR MONROE PROJECT
Vancouver, British Columbia – Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSX.V – HWY)
April 5, 2017
Highway 50 Gold Corp. (the “Company”) announces that it has suspended drilling at its Monroe property in
southeastern BC until sufficient time has elapsed to allow spring breakup to conclude.
Drill hole HWY 17-003 is currently at a depth of 785 m and was drilled with “HQ” diameter core (6.5 cm).
Management had projected the Sullivan Time interval to be intercepted between 550 m and 600 m. The drill hole is
currently at 785 m and is still in the Sullivan Mine hanging wall sequence. To management’s knowledge, this
package of rocks has not been known to exist outside the Sullivan Mine area until this drill hole. Other holes on the
property have not encountered this sequence and have been drilled deeper into the stratigraphic column. A 6 m zone
of vented albite fragmental was encountered at 742 m. A similar style of alteration occurs in the immediate hanging
wall of the Sullivan Mine. Immediately beneath the albite fragmental are intensely sericitized sediments with
veinlets and disseminations of sphalerite and galena (ZnS, PbS) present locally to the bottom of the hole.
Drilling is anticipated to resume within the next six weeks, at which time DDH Hwy 17-003 will be cased to 785 m
and reduced to NQ core (4.5 cm).
The Company has an option to earn a 50 per cent interest in the Monroe property by spending annual optional
exploration expenditures totalling $3,000,000 over the next four years.
