Newsfile Corp Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 21, 2022) - Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: NWRCF) (FSE: 3WQ0)("Kenorland" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities within the South Uchi Project ("the Project"), located in the Red Lake District of Ontario and held under an earn-in option to joint venture agreement ("Option Agreement") with Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick"). Summer 2021 exploration program and results During September and October of 2021, a property-wide glacial till geochemical survey was completed including the collection of 1,874 samples on a 1000m by 200m spaced grid covering the entire 76,511 hectare property. The results of the survey outlined strong arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) anomalism in glacial till extending over 20 kilometers of strike along a major east-west structure. Within the regional As-Sb anomaly, multiple discrete gold (Au) anomalies were also identified and have been prioritised for follow-up exploration in 2022. For 2022, Barrick has approved a C$1.8 million budget to complete infill glacial till geochemical sampling, within the regional As-Sb+/-Au anomaly, on a 350m by 150m spaced grid. The follow-up survey is planned to be carried out between mid-June and mid-August. Figure 1. Map of the South Uchi Project

https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6489/121073_figure01.jpg About the South Uchi Project The Project covers a portion of Confederation Assemblage volcanic rocks, as well as the boundary between the volcanic-dominated Uchi subprovince to the north and the sedimentary-dominated English River subprovince to the south. Multiple major east-west striking shear zones associated with the subprovince boundary transect the Project along its 90km strike-length. Deformation associated with these structures has resulted in zones of strong shearing, alteration and complex folded geometries of the metavolcanic-clastic metasedimentary-iron formation stratigraphy, which are favorable settings for orogenic gold mineralisation. The majority of gold deposits in the Red Lake District (Red Lake, Madsen, Hasaga, and others) are located on the northern margin of the Confederation Assemblage, however, recent discoveries such as the LP Fault Zone on the Dixie Project by Great Bear Resources Ltd. highlight the prospectivity of the entire Confederation Assemblage along the southern margin of the Uchi subprovince. In addition to the gold prospectivity, the Project meets many of the criteria for potential lithium pegmatite deposits, including the presence of the large Alison Lake batholith (a fertile peraluminous granite), which is partly covered by the project. Numerous lithium pegmatite occurrences are located in the region, including the McCombe deposit (Ardiden Ltd.) located immediately to the east of the Project. |
