Gatling Hits High-Grade Gold with First Wedge Hole at Larder Project, Including 10.8 g/t Au over 8.0 meters
Vancouver, May 14, 2019 - Gatling Exploration Inc. (TSXV: GTR, OTC: GATGF) (the "Company" or "Gatling") is pleased to announce the results from its first wedge drill hole at the Larder Gold Project, Ontario, including 10.8 g/t Au over 8.0 meters. The results from GTR-19-004W have demonstrated strong continuity along the North Carbonate Gold Zone ("North") and confirm the strategy of utilizing wedge drill holes moving forward (Figure 3). Highlights and Observations
-
- GTR-19-004W - visible gold, including 10.8 g/t Au over 8.0 meters
Technical Summary - the hole inserted at 501 meters downhole of GTR-19-003 and intersected the North zone, Ultramafics and South Volcanics ("South Flow"). The North zone displayed strong fuchsite-chlorite-sericite-carbonate alteration with multiple zones of brecciation and quartz flooding. Mineralization included 12-15% whispy fine grained pyrite with local molybdenite-chalcopyrite zonations. Visible gold was seen within multiple quartz zones and occurred as clusters of flakes along chloritic boundaries (Figure 4).
Nathan Tribble, VP Exploration stated, "This is our fourth hole at Larder and we are delighted with the high grades and continuity we have seen so far. Importantly, it is also the first of our wedge holes - an approach that will enable us to drill more holes within the budget. In turn, this will rapidly grow our understanding of the high-grade gold ore body we are investigating and helps set the precedent for drill testing the extent of the other high-grade deposits at Larder."

QA/QC
Drill core is logged and sampled at the Larder project site. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw with half sent for assay at ActLabs in Timmins, Ontario. The other half is secured and retained on site. All samples are analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning greater than 10.0 g/t gold are analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Certified reference standards and blanks are routinely inserted into the sample stream as part of Gatling's quality control/quality assurance program.
