STRIKEPOINT GOLD INC. ANNOUNCES THAT DRILLING HAS COMMENCED AT ITS HIGH‐GRADE
WILLOUGHBY GOLD PROPERTY
Vancouver, British Columbia — August 10, 2020, StrikePoint Gold Inc. ("StrikePoint" or the "Company")
(SKP:TSX.V)(STKXF:OTCQB) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling is underway at its 100%‐owned
Willoughby gold property, located near Stewart in British Columbia's prolific Golden Triangle, seven
kilometres east of Ascot Resource's advanced‐stage Red Mountain Gold Project. A minimum of 2,000
meters is planned by contractor Morecore Drilling, locally‐based in Stewart.
Exploration drilling during 2020 is targeting both broad intervals of intrusive‐associated gold
mineralization, dominantly within permissive sedimentary and volcanic rock, as well as high‐grade targets.
The 1450 and Northern Deep Targets , in addition to step‐out drilling at the Wilby Zone.
Gold and silver mineralization at Willoughby is associated within a large hydrothermal system of earliest
Jurassic,'Goldslide Suite' intrusions, similar to the nearby Red Mountain Deposit. Large, intrusive‐related
disseminated and stockwork gold‐silver systems and associated high‐grade epigenetic deposits at
Brucejack/Snowfield, Premier/Big Missouri, KSM, Treaty Creek and Iskut/Snip occur in a similar geologic
setting, proximal to the regional Triassic‐Jurassic unconformity in the Golden Triangle.
Strikepoint’s President and CEO, Shawn Khunkuhn states, “Our inaugural drilling program in 2019 at
Willoughby, led by Marilyne Lacasse, was successful in delivering multiple intercepts from step‐out
drilling, including: 26 g/t Au over 4.0 meters, as well as giving our geologic team the experience and
technical understanding the multiple styles of mineralization, structural controls and post‐mineral folds
and faults on the Property. Compilation of all historic information, in addition to surface exploration prior
to this drilling program has contributed to the planning of this discovery‐focused drilling program for
2020.”
Willoughby project
The project occurs along the eastern margin of the Cambria Icefield, approximately seven kilometres east
of the advanced‐staged Red Mountain Deposit that was recently acquired by Ascot Resources from IDM
Mining. The property is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton volcanic and
sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by an early Jurassic‐aged hornblende‐feldspar porphyry,
similar to and potentially comagmatic with the Goldslide Intrusive suite at Red Mountain. Intrusive‐related
mineralized zones consist of primary pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, native
gold and. Multiple gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to‐date on the Property..
