TSXV: VEIN | FSE: N071
TORONTO, July 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Enforcer Gold Corp
("Enforcer" or the "Company") (TSXV: VEIN) (FSE: N071) is pleased
to report on the historical drill results of a second style of
mineralization known to occur on the Roger project. Roger is
advantageously located 5 km north of Chibougamau, Quebec, has all-season road
access and is crossed by a power line that serviced the
past-producing Troilus Mine. Enforcer is earning a 50% interest in
the project from project operator, SOQUEM.
Although not the focus of the current exploration program, a
horizon of semi-massive to massive sulphides associated with the
ultramafic Roberge Sill was intersected in numerous holes by SOQUEM
during previous exploration drilling. The mineralization shows very
promising values for zinc, copper, silver and gold (Table 1).
Drill hole plan and section maps are available in the Roger Map
Gallery.

Notes to Table 1:
All holes presented in Table 1 were completed by diamond (core)
drilling by SOQUEM from 2004 to 2013. Widths represent down hole
core lengths; true widths are unknown at this time. Mineralization
is at ~25° to core axis.

President and CEO, Steve
Roebuck, comments:
"This second style of mineralization points to the unique
exploration potential of the Roger project. While we are currently
focused on building the gold-copper resource on the MOP-II deposit,
the massive sulphides and in particular the zinc-rich horizons in
the highly prospective ultramafic Roberge Sill present a future
high-priority target. This potential is highlighted both by
SOQUEM's results and by the work of MERN geologists at the Berrigan
deposit located 1.8 km south of the MOP-II, where epithermal
gold-zinc-silver vein mineralization is also hosted in the Roberge
ultramafic unit. Additionally, the volcanics of the Bruneau
Formation and the gabbro of the Bourbeau Sill, which are present
but poorly explored on the Roger project, regionally host the
Norbeau gold deposit located 8 km east of the project."
Geology of the Mineralized Horizons
The semi-massive to massive-sulphide horizons are composed of
pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite hosted within a pyroxenitic
unit of the Roberge Sill lying south of the McAdam Fault. They are
believed to be spatially-related to the McAdam Fault, which marks
the break between the mineralized felsic porphyritic intrusive to
the north and the volcanics of the Bruneau Formation to the south.
The sill is part of the basal group of the Cummings Formation and
was injected subparallel to the fault within the Bruneau volcanics.
While the sulphide horizons have never been the focus of a
dedicated exploration program, they have been intersected in
several holes when drilling past the McAdam Fault, the marker
horizon signaling the end of the Main Zone of the Mop-II
deposit.
By contrast, mineralization within the Main and North zones is
mainly gold-enriched with locally elevated copper and molybdenum
and is hosted within the felsic porphyritic intrusive. This
intrusive is injected at the contact between the volcanics of the
Blondeau and the Bruneau Formations and measures 2.2 km along
strike and up to 500 m wide. The
gold-copper mineralization is associated with disseminated
sulphides, mainly pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite, within
quartz-sericite altered zones displaying varying degrees of
brecciation.
Mineral Resource Estimate
Following the completion of the Enforcer-SOQUEM spring 2018
diamond drilling program, Geologica Groupe Conseil in partnership
GeoPointCom, both consulting firms based in Val-D'Or, Québec, were mandated to update the
historical 2006 resource estimate. The full dataset of results was
made available in mid-June by SOQUEM following a verification of
the results. The Company expects the updated resource estimate to
be completed later this summer.
