Kesselrun drills three m of 13.6 g/t Au at Huronian

Mr. Michael Thompson reports
KESSELRUN EXTENDS MAIN HURONIAN MINERALIZATION DOWN PLUNGE
Kesselrun Resources Ltd. has provided the following drilling results on its Huronian gold project.
Continued drilling of the Huronian zone has been successful in confirming the continuity of the mineralized structure as well as proving its potential down plunge. In particular, hole 21HUR070, shown in the release, was drilled in the area of the mine where development ore reportedly averaged 78 grams per tonne gold. Hole 21HUR070 intercepted a comparably high grade over a narrow width within a wider, three-metre intercept of 13.6 g/t gold. Further drilling is planned down plunge of the workings and this intercept.
Highlights
- 21HUR070 intercepted 41.8 g/t Au over 0.9 m within a three-metre wide zone which averaged 13.6 g/t Au;
- 21HUR066 intercepted 22.0 g/t Au over 0.9 m within a 1.9 m wide zone which averaged 10.5 g/t Au;
- 21HUR075 intercepted 12.6 g/t Au over 0.6m within a 20.9m wide zone which averaged 1.0 g/t Au.
Michael Thompson, PGeo, president and chief executive officer of the company, commented: “As we continue to drill the Huronian structure, we are getting an exciting first-hand look at what was mined nearly 100 years ago. We are now able to confidently and readily identify the gold-bearing structures at Huronian which has helped us generate potential targets by applying these observations elsewhere on the property. This initial phase of drilling into the old mine has confirmed that the main zone is continuous for a considerable length and is still present where historic mining ended. It has also confirmed the presence of remnant mineralization in previously mined out areas as well as mineralized off-shoot structures at depth. In the next phase of drilling, we plan on testing the depth extents of the main structure and we will continue to explore the possibility of multiple ore shoots.”
The 2021 Huronian drill program is budgeted at 20,000 metres targeting the Fisher, Fisher North, McKellar and Huronian zones, all in close proximity along an approximate 1,500-metre strike length in the area of the historic Huronian mine. The area also has tremendous potential for discovery of new wide zones of significant gold mineralization in light of the new revised mineralization model.
As of this news release approximately 12,000 metres has been drilled of which 6,250 metres of drilling results have been released.

(1.) Widths are drill indicated core length as insufficient
drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this
time on the Fisher and McKellar zones. The Huronian zone true
widths are estimated to be 80 per cent to 90 per cent of the
reported widths. Average grades are calculated with uncapped
gold assays as insufficient drilling has been completed to
determine capping levels for higher-grade gold intercepts.

About the Huronian Gold Project
The 100% owned Huronian Gold Project hosts the past producing Huronian Mine, Northwestern Ontario’s first gold mine with an historic resource estimate of 44,592 oz Au at an average grade of 15.3 g/t Au in the indicated category and 501,377 oz Au at an average grade of 14.4 g/t Au in the inferred category. The resource estimate presented for the Huronian Project is historic in nature. Kesselrun Resources’ qualified person has not completed sufficient work to confirm the results of the historical resource. Kesselrun Resources is not treating this as a current mineral resource but is considering it relevant as a guide to future exploration and is included for reference purposes only. The historic resource was estimated by Minescape Exploration Inc. in 1998. Further drilling will be required by Kesselrun Resources to verify the historic estimate as current mineral resources.
As well, the Huronian Gold Project hosts the same lithological package of rocks, as interpreted from both Government of Ontario and Kesselrun Resources mapping, compilation and modelling, on strike from Goldshore Resources Inc.’s adjacent Moss Lake Gold Deposit with a resource estimate of 1,377,300 oz Au at an average grade of 1.1 g/t Au in the indicated category and 1,751,600 oz Au at an average grade of 1.1 g/t Au in the inferred category as outlined in their 2013 PEA2. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on Kesselrun Resources’ property.
On January 26, 2021 Wesdome announced that the Moss Lake Project would be purchased by Goldshore Resources Inc. (see Wesdome and Goldshore news releases dated January 26, 2021).
