/CNW/ -
Treasury Metals Inc.
(
TSX: TML
) ("Treasury" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce exploration results, including 0.75 metres of 450 g/t Au and 1.40
metres of 11.85 g/t Au in two holes, by earn-in option partner G2 Goldfields Inc. on the Company's
100%-owned Weebigee-Sandy Lake gold project in northwestern
Ontario
.
Further details of the earn-in and joint venture agreement between Goldeye Explorations Ltd.,
Treasury's wholly owned subsidiary, and G2 Goldfields Inc. ("G2" or the "Optionee") can be found
on Treasury's website at:
Goldeye Explorations Ltd.
Weebigee is part of the package of high-quality
Ontario
assets acquired by Treasury in 2016 in connection with the acquisition of Goldeye
Explorations Ltd., which also includes the Shining Tree-Fawcett and Gold Rock projects in
Ontario
.
All holes reported in the press release by G2 were drilled on the Weebigee Main block zone which is
subject to the earn-in agreement, effective since
April 2015
. The Weebigee-Sandy Lake gold project
is located 227 kilometres north of
Red Lake
in
Northwestern Ontario
.
G2 Goldfields reported in a press release yesterday that a new high-grade, near surface zone was
discovered at the
Sandy Lake
project. The new discovery is located approximately 1.8 km west of
the W1/W2 Zones discovered by Goldeye.
The W3 Zone was initially tested by seven drill holes of which the Optionee has received assay
results for six holes, three of which intersected significant gold mineralization.
Widths are drill indicated core lengths, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true
widths at this time.

Drill Hole 19-16 is approximately 230 metres west of holes 19-12 and 19-4. Mineralization in the W3
area is hosted within a tightly folded Banded Iron Formation (BIF), which initial drilling has
demonstrated to be up to 60 metres in width, according to G2. Gold mineralization in the sulphurised
(pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite) BIF; which is coincident with chargeability anomalies defined by
a VTEM geophysical airborne survey flown in 2015, according to the Optionee.

The Optionee also has completed an additional five holes in the W1/W2 areas.
Widths are drill indicated core lengths, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true
widths at this time.

The W1/W2 zone currently has a strike length of six hundred meters and significant gold
mineralization has been encountered from surface to vertical depths in excess of one hundred
meters.

.
Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to SGS
Canada Inc. in
Red Lake, Ontario
, which is an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis.
All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA (atomic absorption) techniques.
Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analyzed utilizing standard fire assay-gravimetric
methods. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into
the sample stream, as part of G2 Goldfield's quality control/quality assurance program (QA/QC).
