About Labrador Gold:
Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of
prospective gold projects in the Americas. In 2017 Labrador Gold signed a Letter of Intent under which the Company has the option
to acquire 100% of the 896 square kilometre (km2) Ashuanipi property in northwest Labrador and the Nain (503
km2) and Hopedale (458 km2) properties in eastern Labrador.
The Hopedale property covers much of the Hunt River and Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretch over 80 km.
The belts are typical of greenstone belts around the world but have been underexplored by comparison. Initial work by Labrador Gold
during 2017 show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake
greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition,
anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 kilometres along the southern section of the
greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details).
The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35 km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville,
which is linked by rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment gold anomalies
that, with the exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program. Results of the 2017
reconnaissance exploration program following up the lake sediment anomalies show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a
15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north-south trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east-west trend.
The anomalies appear to be broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a
regional scale (see news release dated January 18th 2018). This suggests a possible structural control on the
localization of the gold anomalies. Historical work 30 km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams
per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width) (Source: IOS Services Geoscientifiques, 2012, Exploration and geological
reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer Field Season 2011). Gold in both areas appears to be
associated with similar rock types.
