SILVER RANGE STAKES FIVE NEW TARGETS IN THE LUPIN – BACK RIVER
AREA OF NUNAVUT
May 17, 2017 – Silver Range Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SNG) (“Silver Range”) announces that it
has staked five new gold targets and quadrupled its land position in the emerging South
Kitikmeot Gold Belt between the Lupin Mine and the Back River Project in western Nunavut.
The South Kitikmeot Gold Belt covers a 200 km long package of Archean Beechey Lake
metasedimentary rock s which host the Lupin Mine (3.4 M oz past production) and the Back
River Project (5.3 M oz Measured and Indicated) currently being advanced to production by
Sabina Gold & Silver Ltd. (TSX:SBB) . Silver Range owns four projects in the belt and has
augmented its dominant land position with the following acquisitions and additions:
Uist South. A block of ground was staked south of and adjoining the Uist Property to
cover the southern extension of the auriferous iron formation mapped by Silver Range at
Uist Lake during July 2016. The new claims cover sulphide facies iron formation and
quartz veins which have returned historical grab sample results up to 40.8 g/t Au.
GB West. The Gold Bugs property was extended westward to cover amphibolite facies
iron formation with disseminated sulphides which has returned historical samples of up to
5.58 g/t Au.
Hiqiniq. This property is west of and adjoins the Lupin Mine leases. Historic al surface
sampling returned up to 11.16 g/t Au and the best drill result from 5 shallow holes was
0.96 m @ 1.99 g/t Au.
Ujaraq. This pr operty is east of and adjoins the Finn Property held by North Arrow
Resources (TSX -V:NAR). Historical boulder sampling on the property returned up to
28.11 g/t Au and the best of 9 holes intersecting iron formation returned 6.27 m @ 2.13
g/t Au.
Wasp Lake . The Esker Lake property has been extended to cover prospective iron
formation along strike from the Brandon Hill showing, and to cover t he Wasp Lake
showing located 6 km to the east. The Wasp Lake showing is hosted in auriferous
2
sulphide facies iron formation locally developed in amphibole facies iron formation .
Surface samples returned up to 19.89 g/t Au but reconnaissance diamond drilling (9 holes
/ 670 m) has yet to locate the mineralization at depth.
With this additional staking, Silver Range has increased its ground position from 10, 500 acres to
42,700 acres and acquired the last of the open gold showings in the Beechey Lake Group
between the Lupin Mine and the Back River Project . Descriptions of the properties in Silver
Range’s South Kitikmeot Gold Project may be found at www.silverrangeresources.com
During the spring and summer, Silver Range is planning to complete geophysical sur veys at
Bling and Uist; to complete community consultations and apply for drill permits; and to conduct
a regional prospecting program to identify new gold showings in the South Kitikmeot Gold Belt.
