STRIKEPOINT GOLDS PHASE 2 DRILLLING PROGRAM UNDERWAY AT THE HIGH-GRADE, WILLOUGHBY
GOLD PROPERTY
Vancouver, British Columbia — August 13 2019 StrikePoint Gold Inc. (“StrikePoint” or the “Company”)
(SKP:TSX.V)(STKXF:OTCQB) is pleased to announce commencement of its Phase I I drilling program of
1,000 metres at the Wilby zone on their 100%-owned Willoughby property located near Stewart BC in
British Columbia’s Golden Triangle , seven kilometres east of Ascot Resource’s advanced-stage Red
Mountain Gold Project. The company’s Phase I program is complete, with eight holes that targeted the
North Zone, located 400m northwest of the Wilby Zone.
The objective of the Phase I I program is to expand and test the 1450 and Northern deep lenses at the
Wilby zone, confirming and stepping out from multiple wide, high-grade historic intercepts . Gold and
silver mineralization at Willoughby are hosted within Jurassic volcanic and sedimentary rocks, as well as
‘Goldslide Suite’ intrusive phase s, similar to the adjac ent Red Mountain Deposit and other significant
deposits in Northwestern British Columbia.
Highlights of historical intercepts from Wilby include (drilled lengths, true width estimated to be 60 to
90% of interval):
• 89-04: 7.06 g/t Au and 42.80 g/t Ag over 11.50 meters
• 94-20: 4.40 g/t Au and 17.97 g/t Ag over 6.0 meters
• 95-51: 20.45 g/t Au and 42.84 g/t Ag over 6.80 meters
• 95-53: 12.66 g/t Au and 59.43 g/t Ag over 12.0 meters
• 96-71: 10.54 g/t Au and 5.88 g/t Ag over 5.10 meters
• 96-88: 7.62 g/t Au and 1.43 g/t Ag over 11.70 meters
StrikePoint CEO, Shawn Khunkhun, states “This is the first drill program to be carried out at the Wilby
Zone since 1996. Historic drill holes were limited to near-outcrop, short holes. StrikePoint’s goal is to
demonstrate that the mineralised system is more extensive than previously indicated. This part of
Northern British Columbia has an enviable endowment of high-grade gold and silver mines and deposits.
Our aim is to build a resource that moves this project towards economic viability. “
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 a n 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 primarily pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena,
chalcopyrite, native gold and. Eight gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to-date over a
one-kilometer strike-length mineralization trend.
