LABRADOR GOLD UPDATES EXPLORATION ACTIVITY AT KINGSWAY
TORONTO, ON, November 12, 2020 – Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold”
or the “Company”) is pleased to give an update on exploration activity at its Kingsway Project near Gander
Newfoundland. The Kingsway project is located within the highly prospective Gander Gold District and the
Company is currently drilling along strike to the northeast of New Found Gold Corp’s gold discovery announced
earlier this year.
Drilling
Drilling started in the area around the Cracker gold showing where three holes have been drilled. Holes targeted
VLF-EM conductors associated with an altered mineralized gabbro and anomalous gold in soil samples. Historical
results from the Cracker showing include grab samples from trenching ranging from 1.8 g/t Au to 61.73 g/t Au
and channel samples ranging from <5ppb to 1.89 g/t Au.
Drilling at Midway approximately 2km southeast of Cracker tested coincident gold in soil and Mag-VLF-EM
targets along two interpreted secondary structures trending northeast and north-northeast. Gold
concentrations in soil samples in the area range from below detection up to 281ppb (0.281g/t) with six samples
assaying more than 100ppb Au (>0.1g/t Au). The higher concentrations are associated with the two structures.
Drilling is now underway in the area of the Appleton Showing where an historical grab sample assayed 4.96g/t
Au. Drilling is testing a northeast trending anomalous area along the edge of a VLF_EM conductor with soil
samples ranging from below detection to 336ppb Au and rock grab samples from below detection to 0.72 g/t
Au.
CSAMT Survey
Preliminary results from the controlled source audio magnetotelluric (CSAMT) survey carried out over the
Appleton Fault Zone have been received. Results show a zone of extremely conductive rocks that appear to be
bounded by ENE trending structures, one of which likely represents the trace of the Appleton Fault Zone. In
addition, several northwest trending features are apparent that may represent faults crosscutting the ENE
trending structures.
Gold in soil samples over the survey area range from below detection up to 805ppb Au (0.8g/t) with gold
concentrations greater than 100ppb in 19 samples. Gold anomalies also occur in historical till samples (below
detection up to 1,073ppb Au) and vegetation samples (below detection to 54 ppb Au) covering the area.
The current RAB drilling program will target two of the intersecting structures in the vicinity of strong gold in soil
anomalies once drilling in the Appleton area is complete.

Samples were shipped to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland, for sample preparation,
with analyses completed at the Vancouver laboratory of Bureau Veritas. Samples were analyzed for gold and
another 36 elements by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) following an aqua regia
digestion. The company submitted blanks, field duplicates and certified reference standards with batches of
samples to monitor the quality of the analyses.

regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101, has read and approved the scientific and technical information
that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this release.
The Company gratefully acknowledges the Newfoundland and Labrador Ministry of Natural Resources’ Junior
Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program for its financial support for exploration of the Kingsway property.
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 discovery 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 pa ckage which
now covers approximately 77 km 2. 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 gold property covers much of the Florence Lake greenstone belt that stretch es over 60 km. The
belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but ha s been underexplored by comparison. Initial work by
Labrador Gold has identified a 3 kilometre mineralized section of the northern portion of the belt in the vicinity
of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold.
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 exploration to date 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 Company has 101,674,175 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange
under the symbol LAB.
