TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2021 / High Tide Resources Corp. ("High Tide" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. based in Gatineau, Quebec to perform a Heliborne High-Resolution Magnetic and Time-Domain Electromagnetic Survey at its 100% owned Lac Pegma Copper - Nickel - Cobalt property located 50 kilometers southeast of Fermont, Quebec. High Tide is a majority controlled private subsidiary of Avidian Gold Corp ("Avidian") (TSXV:AVG)(OTCQB AVGDF), a company with advanced stage gold assets in Alaska and Nevada.

High Tide Director and Interim CEO, Steve Roebuck, states: "We are very pleased to commence work on the Lac Pegma Project. The high-resolution Mag and EM survey is a key part of our program to expand the historical resource and identify new targets at Lac Pegma. Mapping the ultra mafics with Mag and tracking electromagnetic conductors on a 50-meter line spacing will provide our geologist with a much better understanding of the geology and potential target areas. Historical data (mag only) from government surveys dates back to 1980 and is very widely spaced."

The survey will be carried out with traverse lines oriented N025 in order to properly map the dominant magnetic/geological strike, and with a 50m line spacing. Control lines will be flown perpendicular to traverse lines and at a 500 m line spacing. Total survey distance is 599-line kilometers. The survey begins on or before May 17 and data collection is expected to be completed within 2 to 3 days - weather dependent.
