April 2, 2020
/CNW/ -
Treasury Metals Inc.
(
TSX: TML
) ("Treasury" or the "Company") is pleased to announce technical program updates at the
Goliath Gold Project in northwestern
Ontario
, including additional Main Zone drilling results.
Highlights include:
TL20-523 intersected
6.3 g/t Au over
19.5 m
including 9.7 g/t Au over
12.0 m
in the Main Zone Central Shoot
TL20-525 intersected
4.8 g/t Au over
9.0 m
including 10.1 g/t Au over
4.0 m
in the Main Zone East Shoot
TL20-522 intersected
2.9 g/t Au over
4.9 m
in the Main Zone Central Shoot
Following the most recent exploration updates (press releases dated
March 10
,
March 5
and
January 13, 2020
), the Company has completed approximately
9,000
metres of the 15,000 metre program.
Targeting the Central Shoot of the Main Zone, hole TL20-523 found
6.3 g/t Au over
19.5 m
including 9.7 g/t Au over
12.0 m
. Additionally, TL20-522 found
2.9
g/t Au over
4.9 m
,
which compliments the intersection of
2.3 g/t Au over
15.0 m
including 6.5 g/t Au over
4.0 m
from the same hole previously reported (press
release dated
March 5
, 2020). It is located approximately 40 metres west of hole TL20524 which intersected
3.4 g/t Au over
20.8 m
including 9.1 g/t Au over
4.0 m
(press release dated
March 10, 2020
).
The Eastern shoot of the Main Zone has also been a focus of the infill program with TL20-525 intersecting
4.8 g/t Au over
9.0 m
including 10.1 g/t Au over 4.0
m
and
1.7 g/t Au over
2.0 m
.
Each of these results continues to show strong continuity of the mineralized zone in the proposed mining areas. The updated results show excellent potential for
the upgrade of mineral resources into the Measured category and highly increase the confidence level for early years of proposed mining.
The Company will continue reporting additional assay results as they become available.
Results of Goliath Gold Project Soil Gas Hydrocarbon Program:
The Company is pleased to provide an update of the second phase of the Soil Gas Hydrocarbon program including 1700 samples covering approximately 5
kilometres of strike length east of the Goliath Gold Deposit.
The Company received results from its Phase 2 soil gas hydrocarbon ("SGH") program, which focused on surface sampling areas along strike to the east of the
main resource area, including the large regional fold structure to the northeast and part of the eastern limb of the fold (see results in Figure 1). The Actlabs SGH
interpretation highlighted anomolous areas of interest, analogous to the results found across the current resource area, and given a confidence rating of 4.0 out of
6.0 (the resource area survey scored 5.0 out of 6.0). This work followed an orientation survey (see presss release
October 24, 2019
) which captured the Goliath
deposit and demonstrated strong amenability to vector in on new potential areas of gold mineralization across the 50 km
2
property.

In addition to completing the SGH program on the remainder of the strike length across the property, several priority areas for follow up field work and infill
samples have been identified through the Actlabs technical work. Conventional soil samples were also collected during the program and will be interpreted and
compiled with the SGH results where they can be incorporated into future exploration programs.
Treasury Metals CEO
Greg Ferron
said, "We are pleased to see that the SGH results are helping to substantiate our hypothesis that there are prospective new
targets across our property, in particular the Nose of the large regional fold structure to the northeast of the deposit. Results like these give confidence that step
out exploration is the next approach for us to grow our resource."

For duplicate samples, an average of the two gold assays are used to calculate the intersection grade; all grades un-cut, no-capping.
Holes are generally drilled 350-0° Azimuth with inclinations ranging -65 to -80°.
All assays are rounded to two decimal places.
Intervals do not indicate true widths.

COVID-19 Update:
The Company's main priority during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is the safety of employees, contractors and communities. As such, we have implemented
precautionary measures and adapted operations to aid in the containment of the virus. Drilling operations have been deferred for the time being, all non-essential
travel has been suspended, and employees in both the Project Office in
Dryden, Ontario
and corporate head office in
Toronto
work remotely wherever possible
and actively ensure physical distancing while our Company follows official health and safety guidance from the World Health Organization, Health Canada,
Government of
Ontario
and local health regions. As a Company, we are committed to working together and assisting local communities where possible to stay

Treasury Metals Inc. is a gold focused exploration and development company with assets in
Canada
and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under
the symbol "TML" and on the OTCQX® Best Market under the symbol "TSRMF".
QA/QC Program:
The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in
accordance with the CIM Exploration Best Practices Guidelines. The drill core is sawn in half with one-half of the core sample dispatched to Actlabs facility
located in
Dryden, Ontario
. The other half of the core is retained for future assay verification and/or metallurgical testing. Other QA/QC procedures include the
insertion of blanks and Canadian Reference Standards for every tenth sample in the sample stream. A quarter core duplicate is assayed every 20
th
sample. The
laboratory has its own QA/QC protocols running standards and blanks with duplicate samples in each batch stream. Additional checks are routinely run on
anomalous values including gravimetric analysis and pulp metallic screen fire assays. Gold analysis is conducted by lead collection, fire assay with atomic
absorption and/or gravimetric finish on a 50 gram sample. Check assays are conducted at a secondary ISO certified laboratory (in this case AGAT Laboratories
located in
Mississauga, Ontario
). Metallic screen fire assaying is now completed using a 1.0 kg sample and four 50 gm fire assays of the pass (-100 mesh)
pulverized material.
