Mistango Webinar: Corporate Update
Kirkland West Drilling Now Complete
Mistango has completed its 5,400 metres Phase 2 drill program that included seven drill holes. Kirkland West is adjacent and to the west of Agnico Eagle's Macassa Mine and is thought to have western extensions of critical gold structures in the Kirkland Lake Gold Camp. Phase 2 results at Kirkland West and a map illustrating key sections can be viewed in Figure 1.
Significant Results on Kirkland West Gold Project
Drill Hole BAL21-024 intersected VG (visible gold) at 922.81 to 922.31 meters which returned a value of 86.2 g/T (metallic screen analysis) and intersected more gold mineralization at 1079.15 to 1080.12 meters with a grade of 5.65 g/T. Both results appear to be related to either the main break of the Larder Lake/Cadillac Fault zone or the Amalgamated Fault.
Drill hole BAL22-025 intercepted gold mineralization above the 86.2 g/T assay returned a 1.09 g/T assay from 716 to 717 meters, approximately 150 meters above BAL21-024.
Drill hole BAL21-021 intersected gold mineralization, which returned a value of 1.13 g/T over 3 meters from 225 to 228 meters, approximately 100 meters to the east of BAL21-024.
Omega Drilling is Ongoing
Mistango began drilling on its Omega Project on February 7 and has thus far completed 2,988 metres of a planned 5000 metre drill program and Mistango has submitted 1,482 samples for analysis. The Company notes that it has engaged a new assay laboratory for the Omega Project and has been advised it can expect results with a quicker turnaround time.
Agnico Eagle Joint Venture with Mistango
Mistango congratulates its new Joint Venture partner, Agnico Eagle, in completing its merger with Kirkland Lake Gold. Mistango has engaged with senior management at Agnico Eagle and confirms that the planned exploration spending for 2022 on Mistango's properties is increased by 50% of 2021
QA/QC Controls
The Company has implemented a quality assurance and control ("QA/QC") program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with best practices. Samples are logged and sampled in a secure facility at the core shack at a CXS (Canadian Exploration Services Limited) facility in Larder Lake and under the supervision of Qualified Geologists. Drill core sample intervals range between 0.5 and 1.5 m length and are determined by mineralization, alteration, and lithological boundaries. NQ sized core is cut in half, with one half of the core being shipped to ALS Laboratory in Timmins or Swastika Laboratories in Swastika, Ontario. The other half is retained for future use. Assaying of the samples is done by a standard 30 gram fire assay technique with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish and any sample greater than 10 gpt is reassayed with a metallic screen assay. Other QA/QC includes inserting certified reference standards, blanks, and duplicates every ten samples to validate laboratory results. All Phase 2 drill holes are complete and all assay, and material results have been returned and reported.
