ML Gold Completes First 689 Metre Hole at Stars Property Increases Footprint of Porphyry System
ML Gold Corp. (TSX-V: MLG) (“ML Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has expanded the
footprint of copper and molybdenum mineralization in its first drillhole of the spring program “Hole 7”
(DD18SS007) testing into the new Central Target area. This hole confirms the presence of a large scale
porphyry system and potentially significant molybdenum plus copper mineralization indicating a higher
temperature setting within the Central Target area. A plan map with drilling, including the new Hole 7, is
attached as Figure 1 below, and is also available on the Company’s website on the Stars project page
(http://www.mlgoldcorp.com/index.php/projects/stars-property). Additionally the C ompany has
released Hole 7 core pictures on the Stars project page showing copper and molybdenum
mineralization, porphyry dikes, potassic alteration, and magnetite-chalcopyrite breccias down hole.
Hole 7 was drilled from the existing Pad 1 (DD17SS001 and DD17SS002) at 295 degrees and -45 dip. Hole
7 shows an increasing amount of m olybdenum and potassic feldspar alteration. Molybdenum
mineralization typically occurs within, or directly adjacent to, the higher temperature core of a porphyry
system and is consistent with increased amounts of potassic feldspar alteration trans itioning from
pervasive secondary biotite alteration. The potassic feldspar alteration occurs as in tense localized
flooding and as ha los around veins . M agnetite and chalcopyrite have been observe d as matrix infill
within breccias cutting the potassically altered wall rock. S eparately centimeter scale porphyry dykes
with cross-cutting quartz-magnetite(altered to hematite)-copper-molybdenum “B” style veins have been
observed.
The Company is in the process of logging, sampling, and shipping the core samples to MS Analytical in
Langley, BC for assaying. Results from the new drilling will be made available as soon as possible.
About the Stars Project
The Stars Project is an early stage copper -molybdenum-silver-gold porphyry project in central BC,
approximately 40 kilometers southwest of Houston, BC. ML Gold has been aggressively exploring the
Stars project for a Copper Porphyry system since it acquired the project in November, 2017 (see release
November 22, 2017). Within the first few months of exploration ML Gold has successfully identified new
high gr ade copper mineralization in Zone 4 (see release Feb 28, 2018), uncovered a 3 x 5 kilometre
circular ma gnetic ring feature (contained within the Stars project boundary) encompassing numerous
target areas , and expanded the footprint of copper p orphyry mineralization , veining, and alteration
under glacial cover.
The Stars property is ideally located within a flat lying, low relief area with a well-developed network of
resource roads that provide the ability to access and operate on the property year -round. Major BC
highways connect the nearby community of Houston , BC with regional exploration hubs such as
Smithers and Prince George, and provide access to the deep water port in Kitimat where copper
concentrates from other BC copper porphyry deposits are currently being shipped to smelters overseas.
Adrian Smith, President of ML Gold comments “ Based on the early success of exploration under glacial
cover at the Stars project , we plan to continue expanding on and identifying new higher grad e zones
within the broad scale copper porphyry system that has now been confirmed to exist on the property.”
