the St. Anthony Gold Property (the "Project") during the week of February 22, 2021. Mobilization of staff is

available year-round.

shallow drill holes for due diligence plus extending the gold bearing zone(s) to the north and south while in-

filling between historical drill holes. The Phase 2 drilling program will test the Dawson White deposit plus the

Buckshaw, Couture Lake and Lucky Bones showings as well as follow-up on Phase 1 in-fill drill results.

it’s a great property especially with the historically reported grades at current gold prices.”

and, at the same time begin surface preparation and sampling on the second phase drill plan. Full Force has a

great team with direct drilling experience at the St Anthony mine. There is no better team to work on St Anthony

than the ones that know the property best. We look forward to repeating and enhancing the success of the past

drill programs as we move towards creating a significant and compliant gold and silver resource”.

addition to the historical underground workings over 20 gold (-silver) occurrences have been documented, some

hosting visible gold, many of which have seen little if any exploration work for several decades. Previous workers

in the area include Aubet, Can Con and Falconbridge, companies that carried out work focused on the bulk

tonnage potential of a mineralized area hosted within a quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusive located within the

property. The St. Anthony Gold Project is located 85 km east of the town of Sioux Lookout, or 13 km south of the
