Visionary Gold Corp. Announces Results From First Ever Drill Program in Lewiston Gold District, Wyoming
Visionary Gold Corp. Announces Results From
First Ever Drill Program in Lewiston Gold
District, Wyoming
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2022) - Visionary Gold Corp. (TSXV: VIZ)
("
Visionary
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce results from the first five drillholes at its Wolf
Gold Project ("Wolf") in Fremont County, Wyoming. Gold mineralized zones were encountered in each of
the first five drill holes, confirming continuous gold mineralization over 480 metres ("m") of the 2.6-
kilometre ("km") shear zone.
"Intersecting gold values in each drillhole of the first-ever drill program in the Lewiston District confirms
the existence of a large gold-bearing hydrothermal system, supporting our exploration thesis," stated
CEO Wes Adams. "We know from extensive surface sampling and mapping that higher-grade zones of
mineralization exist within the Wolf Shear structure, but more drilling is needed to further define them.
Additionally, we plan to drill-test three recently defined parallel mineralized structures that have been
identified adjacent to the Wolf Shear Zone (see Figure 1), as well as other new targets generated during
a busy 2021 field program. Full results from regional exploration and a summary of new drill targets will
be forthcoming."
Discussion of drill results
The five holes drilled at the Wolf Gold Project in 2021 (WLF001-WLF005) totalled 780m. Gold
mineralization occurred in chlorite and limonite-stained fault breccias, veins and zones of intense
fracturing within the shear corridor. Interpreted mineralized corridors appear to be continuous over the full
480m; however, the widths and grades of mineralization appear to be increasing slightly to the northeast
along strike. All drill holes in the 2021 program were drilled from northwest to southeast across the
interpreted strike of the Wolf Shear Zone; however, future drilling will also test cross cutting structures
and shallowly, southeasterly dipping veins, which could have an influence on mineralization. Assay values
are presented in Table 1 with a results range of detection limit to 1.33 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au).

Quality Assurance/Quality Control Technical Disclosure
Drill core (HQ ~63.5 millimetres) was geologically logged with samples defined based on observed
geological features. Sample intervals were cut in half with a core saw with on half placed in a sample
bag and the other retained in the core box for reference. Samples were batch shipped from Visionary's
secure logging facility to ALS Global laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited) in Reno, NV, or
American Analytical Services Inc. (ISO 17025:2005 accredited) in Osburn, ID. A QA/QC program using
the insertion of blanks and certified reference materials was maintained throughout the program.
