NEWS RELEASE
Tres-Or Begins Drilling at Fontana Gold Project
Vancouver, B.C. – March 16, 2017 - Tres-Or Resources Ltd. (“Tres -Or”) (TSX-V: TRS, OTCPK:
TRSFF) has initiated its first drill program at the Fontana Gold Project, 60 km north of Val -d’Or,
Quebec. The expected 3 -hole 750 metre drill program is now underway to confirm significant gold
mineralization reported in historical drilling and extend our understanding of the structural controls.
“This is an excellent time to start our own exploratio n of Fontana, “said Laura Lee Duffett, Tres -Or’s
President and CEO. “With recent strength in both gold and capital markets and high interest in
Quebec gold projects our own exploration program on this key project makes sense. Tres -Or is now
well positioned to start enhancing the value of our core assets.”
The Fontana Gold Project was explored intermittently since the 1930s and includ es more than 300
drill holes, construction of a 90 m shaft with galleries and several bulk samples. The property hosts
significant gold mineralization, including intersections of up to 8.14 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au)
over 28.96 m near the intersection of the Bunkhouse and Hooper zones (152.7 to 181.7 m; true
thickness unknown at this time). Since this drilling was from the late 1980s, Tres -Or considers the
reports historical.
In 2013, Tres-Or’s then partner Aurizon Mines Ltd . conducted a 19 hole drill program totaling 5604
metres regionally across the Fontana property. Th e drill program yielded highly enriched interva ls
such as 33.6 g/t Au over 1.5 m and 16.0 g/t Au over 1.1 m within the Bunkhouse zone, but apparently
did not penetrate the high-priority structural intersection of the Bunkhouse and Hooper zones which is
the target of the current program. Aurizon Mines, which was acquired by Hecla Mining Company in
2013, subsequently terminated all gold exploration activity, including the Fontana Gold Project.
Tres-Or optioned up to a 100% interest in the Fontana Gold Project, subject to underlying royalties
and completed the purchase of an undivided 25% interest . The Fontana Gold Project is located in the
Abitibi Greenstone Belt approximately 16 kilometres northeast of Amos and can be easily reached by
paved and gravel roads including good access to the Fontana shaft and other workings.
