Signature Resources Confirms Near-Surface Strike Extensions up to 500 Metres East from Existing Mineralized Zones
Signature Resources Confirms Near-Surface
Strike Extensions up to 500 Metres East from
Existing Mineralized Zones
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 3, 2021) - Signature Resources Ltd. (TSXV: SGU)
(OTCQB: SGGTF) (FSE: 3S3) ("Signature" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has found
historical near-surface (<100 metre depth) drill data from ongoing compilation work. The historical
drilling has confirmed significant East strike extensions to the existing North and Central mineralized
zones. This historical data compilation work underpins several of
the six newly-identified drill targets
identified at the 100%-owned Lingman Lake Project from the recently-completed magnetic and IP
geophysical surveys (See Figure 1).
Highlights
historical shallow test drilling:
7.54 g/t over 0.5 metres
6.18 g/t over 0.6 metres
Data essentially doubles the strike length of the existing North and Central gold zones
Test drilling of these new zones to commence mid-November focused on:
the new strike extensions to re-establish the existing zones on strike and thickness and
the new gold zone targets to the north and south of the existing zones and their associated
east strike extensions
"The plethora of historical regional and local data that the Signature's exploration team is working
through, continues to yield exceptional and valuable results. This data is highly important when
combined with the new geophysical survey data sets, in the identification and verification of significant
gold mineralization strike extensions and entirely new zone drill targets. The data implies that the
existing gold zones that contain the 234,000 ounce historical high-grade gold resource* could be
vastly expanded.
Test drilling will commence at these new target areas around mid-November once
the depth extension drilling is complete."

North and Central Zone Extensions
Geophysical interpretation of the recently-completed detailed ground magnetic survey has extended the
North and Central zones eastward past the Mud Lake fault for more than 500 metres (See Figure 1).
Most of the shallow historical test drilling on the Lingman Lake gold zones occurred west of this fault. The
detailed magnetic survey suggests that this fault cuts all the known gold zones with a right lateral
displacement of 50 to 60 metres. The new magnetic survey linear targets associated with the Lingman
Lake Gold zones continue eastward from this fault. This interpretation has been corroborated by the
historical shallow drilling, the locations of which have only recently been established.
New North Targets
This is potentially a new zone which was intersected by several historical drill holes including 7.54 g/t
over 0.5 metres and 6.18 g/t over 0.6 metres. These values span over a kilometre in strike length
occurring along the north edge of the new magnetic survey linear target, a feature that also exists in the
Lingman Mine area (Figure 1: Targets FNZ-1 and 2). Compilation of the historical drilling near the north
area of the historical mine workings area is ongoing and will support test drilling of this target (located
immediately north of the existing North zone).
New South Targets
A strong correlation of the Lingman Lake Gold zones with the edges of magnetic linears is evident,
which provides for the targeting of
new linear targets
and potentially the discovery of new gold zones in
the southeast quadrant of the map (Figure 1: FSZ-1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).
An aggressive drill program is being designed to test all the above targets along a 625-metre north-
south fence.
Approximately 5-6 holes totaling 1,000 metres will be drilled in the coming weeks.
New High-Grade Surface Sample Location
Ongoing geographic information system ("GIS") compilation work has positioned the location of
historical surface sampling including one of which assayed 6.86 g/t Au. The sample site is located 160
metres south of Base Lake and coincides with two new subparallel magnetic linear targets; the southern
target correlating to a Very Low Frequency Electromagnetic ("VLF") survey target that is over 1,000-
metres in length (Figure 1: targets BL1 and BL2).
Drill testing of this area is planned for early 2022,
pending further interpretive data analysis.
Ongoing Depth Extension Drilling
Extension drilling (around the clock, seven days a week) beneath the existing underground workings and
historical resource down to ~250-300 metres continues on schedule and drill results will continue to be
published, as they become available, from the assay lab.

About Signature
The Lingman Lake gold property consists of 1,434 staked claims, four freehold fully patented claims and
14 mineral rights patented claims totaling approximately 27,113 hectares. The property hosts an
historical estimate of 234,684 oz of gold* (1,063,904 tonnes grading 6.86 g/t with 2.73 gpt cut-off) and
includes what has historically been referred to as the Lingman Lake Gold Mine, an underground
substructure consisting of a 126.5-metre shaft, and 3-levels at 46-metres, 84-metres and 122-metres
depths.
*This historical resource estimate is based on prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous
operators, and information provided by governmental authorities. A Qualified Person has not done
sufficient work to verify the classification of the mineral resource estimates in accordance with current
CIM categories. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current NI 43-101 mineral
resource estimate. Establishing a current mineral resource estimate on the Lingman Lake deposit will
require further evaluation, which the Company and its consultants intend to complete in due course.
Additional information regarding historical resource estimates is available in the technical report entitled,
"Technical Report on the Lingman Lake Gold Property" dated January 31, 2020, prepared by John M.
