NEWS RELEASE
PORTOFINO COMMENCES EXPLORATION ON ITS RED LAKE, ONTARIO PROPERTY
Vancouver, B.C., February 13, 2020. PORTOFINO RESOURCES INC. (POR: TSX-V) (POTA: FSE) (“Portofino”
or the “Company”) is pleased to report that its exploration crew has mobilized to site and commenced
exploration work on its South of Otter property located in the Red Lake mining district.
The first phase of Portofino’s 2020 exploration program consists of approximately 25 -line kilometers
(“km”) of ground VLF/EM geophysics and soil geochemistry surveys. The program’s objective is to
delineate mineralized structures related to past gold and base metal discoveries in the region and outline
targets for follow-up trenching and drilling. Multiple gold, copper and zinc deposits and prospects have
been discovered both immediately to the north and immediately to the south of the property claim
boundaries.
The 5,120 hectares (South of Otter) property is contained within the Birch -Uchi-Confederation Lakes
greenstone belt which hosts the world-renowned Red Lake gold deposits and includes the Dixie project
currently being drilled by Great Bear Resources Ltd. (“GBR”). GBR has rece ntly reported exciting drill
results with mineralized intersections commonly returning bonanza gold grades in association with coarse
visible gold grains. Portofino’s property is located approximately 8 km east of GBR’s claims.
The South of Otter property is also within 6 km of BTU Metals Corp. (“BTU”). BTU reported recent drilling
success including an assay result of 44.3 meters of 1.14% copper equivalent with intervals containing as
much as 5.56% copper, 99.6 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver and 2 g/t gold.
The Portofino property contains excellent targets for both Red Lake-style gold mineralization as well as
gold bearing base metal prospects. Historical work on the claims included prospecting, sampling, limited
drilling, and airborne magnetic geophysical surveys. Drilling results included a gold bearing assay yielding
0.25% copper and 1.25% zinc over 2 meters completed by BP Resources Canada Ltd. in 1986.
