STRIKEPOINT GOLD INC. ANNOUNCES ENCOURAGING INITIAL RESULTS FROM YUKON
EXPLORATION
August 9, 2017 - Strikepoint Gold Inc. (SKP:TSX.V)(STKXF:OTCQB) is pleased to report the
encouraging results from surface sampling undertaken in June 2017 at its wholly owned
Mahtin gold property. Rock chip samples from skarn material over an area extending for
900 m returned grades up to 9.20 g/t Au. Additional samples from an area previously
thought to be unmineralized graded up to 2.20 g/t Au. A RAB drill program of six holes
totaling 630m has been completed in this area. Results are pending.
Samples grading up to 293 g/t silver were also returned from an area 1 km to the east of
the drilled area suggesting mineralization extends into the adjacent valley. The results
received to date suggest an area of interest extending over a 2km strike length.
Additional step out sample results are pending. The majority of sul phides observed and
encouraging gold and silver grades are from limestone skarns around the periphery of
the Sprague Creek Stock. Additionally, arsenopyrite bearing quartz veins were sampled
from within the granodiorite stock itself for which results are also pending.
The May-Qu target, 17 kilometers to the southeast of Mahtin North target has also been
mapped and sampled. Initial results from grab sampling have returned assays including
2.22 g/t Au, 2.12g/t Au and 1.74 g/t Au. A RAB drill program of th ree holes totaling
300m has also been completed here.
Further assays are pending from the laboratory for both surface sampling and the initial
drilling. Results will be released when these are finalized.
QA/QC
The Company maintains a rigorous QA/QC program with respect to the preparation,
shipping, analysis and checking of all samples and data from the properties. Quality
