LABRADOR GOLD RECEIVES DRILL PERMIT FOR GOLDEN GLOVE AND MOBILIZES FIFTH DRILL RIG
TORONTO, ON, March 1, 2022 – Labrador Gold Corp. ( TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a diamond drill permit for the Golden Glove target at its
100% controlled Kingsway project near Gander, Newfoundland. As such, the Company has mobilized a fifth
diamond drill to start the drilling as soon as possible . The Kingsway project is located in the highly prospective
central Newfoundland gold belt.
Gold mineralization was discovered at Golden Glove during the fall of 2021. The mineralization consists of visible
gold in an outcrop of quartz vein hosted in shales. Assays of grab samples from the quartz vein range from 2.99
to 338.08 g/t Au and include assays of 194.28 g/t, 193.69 g/t and 83.61 g/t Au (see News Release dated
September 21, 2021). This represented the second discovery of high- grade gold at, or near, surface along the
Appleton Fault Zone after Big Vein.
While there are many similarities between the mineralization at Golden Glove and Big Vein, a significant
difference is that while Big Vein occurs on the west side of the Appleton Fault, Golden Glove is situated on the
East Side. This will be the first drilling on the east side of the fault on the Kingsway Property.
With the addition of the fifth drill rig, LabGold now has five drills on site, two drilling at Big Vein, two drilling at
the Pristine Target and the fifth starting soon at Golden Glove (See Figure 1).
“We are very excited about the start of drilling at Golden Glove, not only because of the high-grade samples
recovered from the outcrop, but also because we are drilling on the east side of the Appleton Fault Zone.” Said
Roger Moss, President and CEO of the Company. “We know from results of drilling at New Found Gold’s
Queensway Project that the east side of the fault seems to produce higher grade and longer intervals than the
west side. This will be LabGold’s first test of mineralization on the east side of the fault and we are keen to see if
the same hold’s true at Kingsway.”
QA/QC
Samples are securely stored prior to shipping to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for
assay. Eastern Analytical is an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory. Samples are routinely analyzed for gold by
standard 30g fire assay with ICP (inductively coupled plasma) finish with samples containing visible gold assayed
by metallic screen/fire assay. The company submits blanks and certified reference standards at a rate of
approximately 5% of the total samples in each batch.

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 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project in the Gander
area of Newfoundland. The three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately 12 km of the
Appleton Fault Zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including those of New Found Gold
immediately to the south of Kingsway . 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. LabGold is drilling a
projected 50,000 metres targeting high- grade epizonal gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone
following encouraging early results . The Company has approximately $3 0 million in working capital and is well
funded to carry out the planned program.
The Hopedale property covers much of the Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretc hes over 60 km. The belt is
typical of greenstone belts around the world but ha s been underexplored by comparison. W ork to date by
Labrador Gold show gold anomalies in rocks, 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 km along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25 th
2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 40km strike length of the Florence Lake
Greenstone Belt.
The Company has 153,854,110 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange
under the symbol LAB.
