Searchlight Resources provides update on
Wapawekka Lake Greenstone Belt Targets
• 24 drill-ready targets identified based on 2020 airborne surveys.
• 8 new claim blocks focusing on priority base metal areas.
• Wapawekka claims reduced from 347.2 to 89.1 sq km.
Vancouver, British Columbia, June 1 9, 2023 - Searchlight Resources Inc. (“Searchlight” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: SCLT, OTCQB: SCLTF) is pleased to announce that the Company has re-staked
the Wapawekka core claims , based on 24 drill -ready targets identified by the Company. The new
Wapawekka claims, covering 89.1 square kilometers , are located approximately 70 kilometres
southeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, and approximately 35 kilometres north of Highway 165.
Based on in-house geophysical interpretation, Searchlight has identified 24 drill -ready targets on the
Wapawekka claims, and prioritized areas for future exploration (Map 1). Prior to release of this data on
these drill-ready targets, the Company allowed the original claims to lapse and then re-staked the priority
areas. Geophysical interpretation was based on data from the Southern Glennie airborne
electromagnetic and magnetic surveys released by the Government of Saskatchewan in September
2020.
“Searchlight has identified 24 VTEM conductive zones which may represent VMS and base metal
mineralization similar to numerous copper -zinc orebodies of the Flin Flon Camp , 150 km east of the
Wapawekka area”, stated Stephen Wallace, Searchlight CEO. “This is part of management’s belief that
Saskatchewan is vastly under-explored and multiple critical element targets exist to be discovered.
The Southern Glennie airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey s were flown over an area
southeast of Lac La Ronge, Saskatchewan. The surveys covered an area of 1,110 sq. km, with a total
of 6,595 line -kilometres at 200-metre line spacing. The surveys were funded by the Government of
Saskatchewan as part of its Mineral Development Strategy, with technical support provided by Natural
Resources Canada. The Government of Saskatchewan released the raw data and a set of maps on
September 17th, 2020.
The Wapawekka Lake Belt, as with much of Saskatchewan, is under-explored and has had only
limited past exploration on its gold and base metal targets.
