About Labrador Gold
Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of
prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.
In early March 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project in the
Gander area of Newfoundland. The property is along strike to the northeast of New Found Gold’s dis covery of
92.86 g/t Au over 19.0 metres on their Queensway property. (Note that mineralization hosted on adjacent or
nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company’s property). In early July
2020, the Company signed an option agreement to acquire a third license to add to the property package which
now covers approximately 77 km 2. The three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately
16km of the Appleton fault zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including the New
Found Gold discovery. Historical work over the area covered by the Kingsway licenses shows evidence of gold in
till, vegetation, soil, stream sediments, lake sediments and float. Infrastructure in the area is excellent located
just 18km from the town of Gander with road access to the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water.
The Hopedale property covers much of the Hunt River and Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretch over 80
km. The belts are typical of greenstone belts around the world but have been underexplored by comparison.
Initial work by Labrador Gold during 2017 show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre
section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog
gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake
sediment samples occur over approximately 40 kilometres along the southern section of the greenstone belt
(see news release dated January 25 th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 57km
strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.
The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35 km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville,
which is linked by rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment
gold anomalies that, with the exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration
program. Results of the 2017 reconnaissance exploratio n program following up the lake sediment anomalies
show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north -south
trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east- west trend. The anomalies appe ar to be
broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional
scale (see news release dated January 18 th 2018). This suggests a possible structural control on the localization
of the gold anomalies. Historical work 30 km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23
grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width) (Source: IOS Servic es Geoscientifiques, 2012,
Exploration and geological reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer Field
Season 2011). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with similar rock types.
