/CNW/ -
Treasury Metals Inc.
(
TSX: TML
) ("Treasury" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the first assay results from its
expansion drilling in the Eastern Main Zone and additional assays from the Infill drilling in the Main Zone at the Goliath Gold Project located in northwestern
Ontario
.
Highlights include:
TL20-524 intersected
3.
4 g/t over
20.8 m
including 9.1 g/t Au over
4.0 m
in the Main Zone Infill program. TL20-524 exhibits anticipated results of an
extended mineralized zone with high-grade assays.
Expansion drill hole TL20-517 intersected
4.6 g/t Au over
4.4 m
in the Main Zone and
10.6 g/t Au over
1.0 m
in a hanging wall zone
Expansion drill hole TL20-512 intersected
3.0 g/t Au over
7.0 m
including 5.4 g/t Au over
3.4 m
"We are encouraged with these new Main Zone results that further demonstrate the consistency of mineralization across the high-grade shoots in the deposit. This
complements the program's success in the developing C Zone East area spanning 200 metres along strike by 150 metres down-dip where drilling is now
consistently hitting mineralization in both zones (Main and C Zone) along strike. These drill results along with the Federal Minister's approval of the EA in August
positions us well in an improving gold market," stated
Greg Ferron
, CEO.
Eastern Main Zone Expansion Drilling
:
Treasury is pleased to announce the first results of its expansion drill program of the high-grade shoots within the Main Zone. These holes were designed to drill
test select targets down-dip, along strike and directly adjacent to the existing high-grade shoots as well as areas identified by recent underground mine scheduling
modelling work. These targets have the potential to add ounces adjacent or below the currently defined resources (see image for additional details).
TL20-517, which was targeted to expand the lower eastern portion of the Eastern high-grade shoot within the Main Zone, intersected
4.6 g/t Au over
4.4 m
with
an additional hanging wall zone that found
10.6 g/t Au over
1.0 m
.
TL20-512, located 100 metres up-dip of TL20-517, intersected
3.0 g/t Au over
7.0 m
including 5.4 g/t Au over
3.4 m
directly adjacent to the East high-grade
shoot. Additionally, TL20-514 found a wide, low grade intersection of
0.6 g/t over
17.7 m
within the Main Zone and
8.9 g/t Au over
1.3 m
in a hanging wall zone.
The results of these holes have shown good continuity of the mining zones.

Infill Program:
A portion of the program has been focused on upgrading specific areas of the Main Zone shoots to the "Measured" classification for inclusion as potential
estimate ounces for the initial mine life years and for grade control purposes. Each of the reported holes have shown very good continuity of the mineralized
areas with high grade.
TL20-524 intersected
3.
4 g/t over
20.8 m
including 9.1 g/t Au over
4.0 m
in the Main Zone Infill program and is located 30 metres down dip of previously
reported TL19-507 which intersected
2.37 g/t Au over
19.0 m
including 6.2 g/t Au over
4.0 m
(see press release
January 13, 2020
). TL20-524 exhibits
anticipated results of an extended mineralized zone with significant high-grade assays. This hole shows strong encouragement of the grade across the main area
of the potentially mineable resource and adds to the confidence of mining zones for early years in the proposed production schedule.

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.
