Thor Gold Riverbed
-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-
Reykjavik, August 2 4, 2020 – St-Georges Eco -Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE:
85G1) is pleased to release the initial fire assays results from the preliminary surface exploration
campaign conducted on the Thor Gold Project in or der to prepare th is summer’s shallow drilling
campaign.
The Company’s exploration team collected grab samples from the dry riverbed on both sides of the river
running to the west of the historical work areas (See Fig 1.) A total of eight samples were cut from the
outcrops.
Figure 1. Project historical work locations and current targeted area in Red.
All grab samples have shown the presence of gold with assays results ranging from 0.001 g/t to 37.4 g/t.
The grab samples collect ed from th e outcro p are , by nature , selected samples and are not
necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.
Three of the grab samples located between 50 and 150 meters of the h istorical workings are d eemed
significant e nough to warrant some a djustment to the previously planned shallow drilling grid for th is
summer’s campaign. These grab samples yielded the following results (Table 1):
Silver g/t Copper % Gold g/t Lead
Sample 003 5.9 g/t 0.015% 11.75 g/t Not significant
Sample 007 0.6 g/t 0.014% 2.47 g/t Not significant
Sample 008 69.3 g/t 0.216% 37.4 g/t 4.37%

Samples were collected and bagged by the SX geological team and transported in secure b ags directly
from the site to Iceland Resources’ secured warehouse facilities in Keflavik. From there, two Q/C blank
samples were added to the other eight samples, and the batch traveled by plane to ALS Global
Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) in Lou ghrea, Ireland. All samples were tested using four acid
trace ana lysis (ME-ICP61). Samples that yielded precious metals content in excess of 10 ppm were
analyzed a second time via gravity separation and fire assay finish.
About Thor Gold
The Thormodsdalur Gold Project is located about 20km east of the city cente r of Reykjavík and
south-east of Lake Hafravatn. The project was discovered in 1908. The property produced a gold
concentrate from 1911 to 1925, which was shipped to Germany for processing. Over 300 meters
of tunnels explor ed and mined one or more quartz v eins and wall rock below open cuts a t the
surface.
Studies between 1996 and 2013 identified the project mineralization as a low sulfidation system
hosted by basi c to intermediate flows of Pliocene to Miocene age. The host cont ains banded
chalcedony and gingur o within a fault z one up to five meters in width. To date, the iden tified
gold trend has a known strike length of 700 meters determine d by drill intercepts. Petrographic
analysis of the vein material identified gold occurri ng in its free form and as part o f an
assemblage with pyrite and chalcopyrite. Petrographic and XRD studies show an evolution of the
vein system from the zeolite assemblage to quartz-adularia and, lastly, to minor calcite.
Thirty-two holes have been drilled within the license area, for a total of 2439 meters. Gold values
vary from less than 0.5 g/t t o a maximum of 415 g/t. (These values were obtained from selec ted
random intervals and cannot be construed to be representative of any particular thickness or
overall length.) Th e best interce pts from the diamo nd dril ling are 33 .5m of 8.0 g/t Au (true
thickness) and 5.2m of 35.4 g/t Au (true thickness).
