Newrange Commences Drilling at North Birch Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, February 17, 2022 (TSXV: NRG, US: NRGOF, Frankfurt: X6C)
– Newrange Gold Corp. ("Newrange" or the “Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling
has commenced on its 100% owned North Birch Project in the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt northeast of
Red Lake, Ontario. Approximately 2,000 metres are planned, w ith the first five holes testing a three-
kilometre strike length of the main target horizon, interpreted to be a sheared limb of a folded iron
formation (see Figure 1).
“We are excited to start the inaugural drill program on the main iron formation target at North Birch,”
stated Robert Archer, Newrange’s President & CEO. “This target has never been drill -tested but, with
gold elsewhere on the property and at the near by Argosy Gold Mine and Springpole Deposit, it checks
all the boxes for a potential discovery.”

The 3,850-hectare North Birch Project encompasses a folded and sheared iron formation that is
structurally similar to Newmont’s Musselwhite Mine, 185 kilometres to the northeast and the largest of
this class of deposits in Canada, with past production and reserves exceeding 7 million ounces (Ontario
Geological Survey and Newmont Corporation). The Pickle Lake District, in the next greenstone belt to
the east of Birch-Uchi, contains several deposits hosting gold in iron formati on and adjacent rocks and
has collectively produced 2.9 million ounces of gold since 1935 (MNDM archives).
