The Company's land package in the Kirkland Lake camp is hosted in the Blake River Assemblage, the same rock unit that hosts Agnico Eagle's Upper Beaver gold deposit (1.4Moz/5.43 g/t Au)¹. The newly acquired claims host several regional structures interpreted from the Ontario government maps as well as several anomalous geochemical sample sites as identified by the Geological Survey of Canada regional geochemical surveys which were undertaken in 1975 and 1980². The addition of these new claims blocks will facilitate Warrior Gold's exploration targeting exercises as the Company reviews data acquisition plans for the upcoming field season.
