NEWS RELEASE
Prosper Gold Corp. Commences Initial Drill Program at the Matachewan
Gold Project – Northern Ontario
Highlights:
Large prospective area (3,860 hectares) of mineral and patent claims covering 15km of the prolific
Cadillac-Larder Lake Break (CLLB).
First time this large section of the CLLB has been amalgamated.
Claim block is between 3 and 16 km east of Alamos Gold’s Young Davidson Mine along the CLLB.
Young-Davidson gold occurs in syenite: a number of syenite bodies are known on the claims.
Two styles of gold targets: high grade gold veins and bulk gold in syenite.
Favourable location and geology , including the discovery of Matachewan Consolidated and the
Young Davidson mines, have driven exploration here.
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 11, 2019 – Prosper Gold Corp. (" Prosper Gold " or the
"Company") (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Matachewan Project
(the “Project”) along the Cadillac -Larder Lake Break in the Abitibi greenstone belt of northern Ontario
and Quebec . The Middleton target will be the focus of initial drilling . (See maps at
www.prospergoldcorp.com/projects/ontario-projects) The Project is under option from O3 Mining Inc. (for
further details, refer to the Company's March 1, 2016 news release).
“We are excited to begin drill-testing the Matachewan Project as it is a regional gold target area east of the
producing Young Davidson Mine ,” commented Peter Bernier, CEO. “The Project is in one of Canada’s
richest gold camps and has not seen adequate modern exploration in decades. We eagerly await results from
our Phase 1 drill program from this substantial land parcel along the Cadillac Larder Lake Break.”
Middleton Target
Is near Middleton Lake , in the northeast part of the claim block , is prospective for syenite -hosted gold
mineralization along syenite-basalt contacts. It adjoins the CLLB on its north side . 4 diamond drill holes
and 15 percussion holes were drilled here between 1964 and 1997. All four diamond drill holes intersected
long intervals of highly anomalous gold with coincident copper mineralization. For example C91-2
intersected 99m of 0.70 g/t Au & 0.20% Cu from 20.5m to 119.5m in syenite. WK -4 (1997) intersected
43.5m of 0.91 g/t Au & 0.15% Cu including 15m of 1.74 g/t Au & 0.24% Cu between 215m to 258.5m in
syenite. The 15 percussion holes , completed in 1975, intersected syenite with disseminated chalcopyrite
and pyrite over a 600m by 200m area. Gold and copper assay results for these holes are not available.
Matach Target
The second target, a 2 km stretch between Webb Lake and northeast of Moyneur Lake, is a zone of sheared
altered metasedimentary rocks intruded by small syenite bodies. It includes historic drilling near Webb
- 2 -
Lake and RC drill results from Pamour. Apprecia ble thicknesses of low -grade gold mineralization were
intersected in Minorex drilling near Webb Lake. RC drill results from Pamour drilling suggest higher-grade
gold mineralization. Six shallow overburden holes above the Cobalt Group northeast of Moyneur L ake
returned between 0.96 and 24.6 g/t Au.
