Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6)
(“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce the results of the 2024 exploration program at its 100%
owned Hopedale Project in Labrador. The district scale Hopedale
property covers a 43km strike length of the Archean-age Florence
Lake greenstone belt which has characteristics typical of
greenstone belts around the world but has been underexplored by
comparison.
Highlights
- Thurber North
- High grade gold value of 32.32g/t and
anomalous value of 0.81g/t at the north end of the 3km Thurber gold
trend
- Thurber Boundary
occurrence
- Anomalous gold value of 0.9g/t and
copper (349ppm) within an 850m long anomalous zone defined by
historical sampling, including soil samples up to 1,568 ppb Au and
rock samples up to 0.75g/t Au
- Indicates potential to extend the
Thurber Gold trend a further 1.5km north
- Fire Ant gold
occurrence
- High-grade gold of 9.35g/t and
anomalous values of 0.3g/t and 0.19g/t Au with 10.8g/t Ag in rock
grab samples close to a 2023 high grade sample grading 106g/t Au
and 20.4g/t Ag
- Gold mineralization now traced over an
area of 250 metres by 270 metres along the contact of ultramafic
volcanic rocks and gossanous felsic volcanic rocks
- Jasmine Occurrence
- Ground electromagnetics show an
approximately 400m long conductor adjacent to a sample of semi
massive sulphide grading 0.97% Zn and 0.25% Cu within a 1.5km trend
of anomalous Cu-Zn in rock and soil
- Stone Fly Occurrence
- New copper occurrence with 0.55% Cu and
anomalous gold (0.1 to 0.2g/t)
- Fourteen occurrences now identified on
the Hopedale project reflecting multiple mineralization styles
including orogenic gold, magmatic Ni sulphide, copper-silver vein
and Zn-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (Figure 1.)
Prospecting along the Thurber gold trend during
2024 continued to highlight the significant potential of the area.
The highest-grade sample of 32.32g/t Au yet collected along the
trend was found at Thurber North, and anomalous samples of 0.96g/t
Au and 0.5g/t Au were collected approximately 150m north of TD500
and 100m south of Thurber North, respectively (Figure 2).
The three-kilometre trend is defined by four
significant gold occurrences surrounded by anomalous gold in rock
and soil samples (Figure 2) that occur along the contact of
intensely carbonate altered ultramafic volcanic rocks and altered
felsic or mafic volcanic rocks.
A sample grading 0.93g/t Au was collected from
the Thurber Boundary area approximately 1.5 kilometres north of
Thurber North. Thurber Boundary is defined by soil samples up to
1,568 ppb Au, including five greater than 500ppb, and previous rock
samples up to 0.75g/t Au. These anomalous samples extend over 850
metres from the northern property boundary southwestward towards
Thurber North and indicate the potential to extend the Thurber gold
trend to the property boundary.
“The district scale Hopedale project, stretching
over 43km, continues to demonstrate the potential we expect from an
Archean greenstone belt. The three-kilometre-long Thurber gold
trend, with the potential to extend it an additional 1.5km to the
property boundary, is the most prospective area found to date, and
has drill ready targets at TD500 and Thurber Dog. Gold and base
metal occurrences found by LabGold to the south are also
encouraging and indicate the diversity of mineralization styles
that can occur in a greenstone belt environment” said Roger Moss,
President and CEO. “While work has continued at Hopedale, we are
also reviewing advanced stage gold projects for potential
acquisition and continue to narrow down potential candidates.”

program. Note that grab samples are selective samples and may not
be representative of the mineralization found on the property.
QA/QC
Rock samples comprise grab samples, which are
selective samples and not necessarily representative of
mineralization found on the property. Samples were securely stored
prior to shipping to analytical labs for assay. Rock samples were
assayed at Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, an
ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory for gold by standard 30g fire
assay with atomic absorption finish as well as by ICP-OES for an
additional 34 elements. The company submits blanks and certified
reference standards amounting to 5% of each sample batch.

About Labrador
Gold
Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company
focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold
projects in Eastern Canada. The Company has approximately $6
million in working capital and holds 5,263,157 common shares of New
Found Gold currently valued at approximately $18.2 million.
The Hopedale property covers much of the
Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone belt that stretches over 60
km. The belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but
has been underexplored by comparison. Work to date by Labrador Gold
show gold anomalies in rocks, soils and lake sediments over a 3
kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake
greenstone belt. Five gold occurrences lie along this trend, four
of which Thurber Boundary, Thurber North, TD500 and Thurber South
were discovered by LabGold. Anomalous gold in soil and lake
sediment samples also occur over approximately 40 km along the
southern section of the greenstone belt. LabGold’s recent
exploration has also demonstrated the potential for the critical
metals copper, nickel and cobalt in the belt.
The Company has 170,009,979 common shares issued and outstanding
and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.
