ArcPacific Locates Lost Gold-Copper Mine on LMSL Project

29.06.2022  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, June 29, 2022 - ArcPacific Resources Corp. (TSXV: ACP) (FSE: P21P) (OTC Pink: ACPRF) ("ACP" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update regarding its ongoing work at its 100% owned LMSL Project (the "LMSL Property") located in the Quesnel Trough, British Columbia's primary copper and gold producing belt.

The initial work program has identified the location of an early 1900s era gold-copper mine previously incorrectly plotted in the BC government database (see figure 2) and represents one of many historic workings located on the LMSL Property. The historic mine adit was located while infilling an area with limited data surrounded by anomalous copper geochemistry, identified by the Company's extensive compilation program as a high priority area. Historic mining in this area was thought to have taken place during the early 1910s, however there are no records of development and no evidence of drilling.

Figure 1: Historic gold-copper mine located within the south central LMSL project area on the southwestern edge of the Lucky Mike area. Chalcopyrite and pyrite were visibly identified related to quartz veins within a broken and fault gouged zone cutting intensely silicified volcanic rocks.

The Company's extensive compilation identified three samples from the vicinity of the newly located mine workings, two of which assayed as follows: 50.83 g/t gold, 125.4 g/t silver; 0.92g/t gold, 130 g/t silver (BC ARIS Report 26468).

The historic gold-copper mine follows a mineralized fault structure that strikes 270 degrees and dips 70-75 degrees located along the west side of the valley cutting Swakum Mountain in a general northeast southwest direction. The fault orientation suggests it is likely a sub-parallel splay or branching structure related to a larger and more significant magnetic low (fault) structure which is at least 2.5 kilometres long (see figure 2) within the untested valley floor.

The planned 2022 drilling program includes drill holes targeting the prominent magnetic low structure in the vicinity of the historic gold and copper mine. The planned drilling also aims to test other areas including testing newly developed geological vector models where increased potassic alteration is indicated proximal to historic drilling with porphyry style mineralization.

The ongoing field work leading up to the planned 2022 drilling program is infilling untested areas and testing new prioritized target areas recently developed by GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. ("GoldSpot") spread across the 120 plus square kilometre project area.

The LMSL Property is located in the prolific Quesnel Trough in south central British Columbia which is host to several operating copper and gold mines and immediately adjacent to Teck Resources Highland Valley Mine. Additional activity in the area includes Tower Resources Rabbit Project where the recent drilling of 1.55 g/t Au over 138.0 m, including 4.76 g/t Au over 24.5 m (see Tower Resources News dated June 22, 2022) which is located within a similar geological setting as the LMSL Property. Additionally, recent successful drilling at the Kodiak Copper MPD project (also within the same continuous volcanic belt as the LMSL Property) intersected a new mineralized zone through successful drilling in 2020 including 282 m of 0.70% Copper and 0.49 g/t Gold (1.16% CuEq), Including 45.7 m of 1.41% Copper and 1.46 g/t Gold (2.75% CuEq) (See Kodiak Copper News dated Sep 3, 2020).

The Company also announces that, subject to regulatory approval, it has retained Red Cloud Securities Inc. ("Red Cloud") to provide market stabilization and liquidity services to the Company in compliance with the policies and guidelines of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and other applicable legislation.
