Additionally, Treasury Metals is pleased to confirm the presence of silver within mineralized zones at Goldlund. The Company will be undertaking additional confirmatory work on the silver mineralization as this presents an opportunity for additional revenue at the Project.

TORONTO, Sept. 16, 2021 /CNW/ – Treasury Metals Inc. (TSX: TML) (OTCQX: TSRMF) (“Treasury” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce gold results from an additional 3,150 metres from 14 holes of a planned 30,000 metre diamond drilling program for 2021 at the Goldlund Gold Deposit (“Goldlund”) located within the larger 100% owned Goliath Gold Complex (the “Project” or “GGC”), which includes the Goliath, Goldlund and Miller deposits along a prospective 65-kilometre trend in Northwestern Ontario.

In addition, the Company is also pleased to announce that the first batch of silver results have been received, confirming the presence of silver at Goldlund. Previously, Goldlund had not been known for silver mineralization and little testing for silver had been completed. As part of the 2021 drill program, the Company began analyzing drill core for silver, as its presence could represent an additional revenue opportunity for Goldlund and the greater Project as a whole.

The Company has drilled approximately 20,000 metres (108 holes) to date at Goldlund. With assay results released today, gold assay results are pending on more than 5,750 metres (28 holes). Of the program to date, 88 holes have been drilled within the preliminary PEA resource, with 20 holes exploring targets outside of, and along strike of, the Goldlund Deposit.

Jeremy Wyeth, President and CEO of Treasury Metals, commented: “The drill results released today continue to illustrate solid intersections of mineralization, increasing our understanding of the geological controls at Goldlund. We are particularly encouraged by the results from the silver assays received from the drilling at Goldlund. Currently in the PEA, there is no contemplation of the recovery of silver at Goldlund. The results today represent an opportunity for further improvements to the economics of the Goliath Gold Complex through the potential from additional silver revenues over the life of the Project.”

Gold results returned in September include infill holes on Zone 4, exploration on Zone 5 and two exploration holes targeting the edge of known mineralization.

The first targets on Zone 5 of the drill program show promising results with all four holes returning elevated gold values in the zone of mineralization. Hole GL-21-065 intersected 1.10 g/t Au over 20.30 metres, including 13.90 g/t over 0.90 metres and 3.32 g/t Au over 1.00 metre; GL-21-066 intersected 6.79 g/t Au over 5.00 metres, including 21.00 g/t Au over 1.00 metre, 5.45 g/t Au over 1.00 metre and 4.20 g/t Au over 1.00 metre; GL-21-064 intersected 0.51 g/t Au over 13.60 metres, including 1.99 g/t Au over 2.00 metres; and GL-21-067 intersected 0.41 g/t Au over 34.00 metres, including 3.21 g/t Au over 1.00 metre. These drillholes are on the edge, and just outside, of the PEA pit and represent potential opportunity for future expansion.

Drilling on Zone 4 continues to show mineralization in the footwall (the North side) of the main PEA Pit where GL-21-030 intersected 0.46 g/t Au over 40.80 metres, including 3.59 g/t over 1.00 metre, 1.06 g/t Au over 5.00 metres and 0.95 g/t Au over 4.00 metres; GL-21-035 intersected 0.89 g/t over 40.50 metres, including 6.28 g/t over 1.10 metres, 13.10 g/t Au over 0.95 metres and 10.00 g/t Au over 0.79 metres; and GL-21-044 intersected 0.76 g/t Au over 32.00 metres, including 3.81 g/t Au over 1.10 metres, 5.48 g/t Au over 1.10 metres and 6.28 g/t Au over 1.00 metres. Drilling targeting the south edge of Zone 3 strengthened our understanding of the cross faulting at Goldlund. The granodiorite body controlling mineralization on the two Northeastern pits appears to pinch out narrowing mineralization.

Complete results from the 2020/2021 drill program at Goldlund can be found here on the Treasury Metals website.

The exploration program has been designed to ensure the safety of the workforce and surrounding communities during the COVID-19 pandemic and incorporates enhanced operating protocols that are consistent with local health guidance.

QA / QC
The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with the CIM Exploration Best Practices Guidelines. The drill core is sawn in half with one-half of the core sample dispatched to Activation Laboratories Ltd. facility located in Dryden, Ontario. The other half of the core is retained for future assay verification and/or metallurgical testing. Other QA/QC procedures include the insertion of blanks and Canadian Reference Standards for every tenth sample in the sample stream. A quarter core duplicate is assayed every 20^th sample. The laboratory has its own QA/QC protocols running standards and blanks with duplicate samples in each batch stream. Additional checks are routinely run on anomalous values including gravimetric analysis and pulp metallic screen fire assays. Gold analysis is conducted by lead collection, fire assay with atomic absorption and/or gravimetric finish on a 50-gram sample. Check assays are conducted at a secondary ISO certified laboratory (in this case AGAT Laboratories located in Mississauga, Ontario) following the completion of a program.

Note to United States Investors
All resource estimates included in this press release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards, which differ in some respects from United States standards. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms “inferred mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” “measured mineral resources” and “mineral resources” that may be used or referenced are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43 101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Standards”). The CIM Standards differ significantly from standards in the United States. While the terms “mineral resource,” “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” and “inferred mineral resources” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, United States companies are only permitted to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by standards in the United States as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information regarding resources contained or referenced in this [name of disclosure document] containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies.
