Vancouver, July 21, 2022 - Canterra Minerals Corp. (TSXV: CTM) (OTCQB: CTMCF) ("Canterra" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update to its ongoing exploration program on the Noel Paul Property and Wilding Lake Gold Project, both located in Central Newfoundland, Canada.
Highlights:
- 1,282 samples collected at the Carter Lake Block, an addition to the Noel Paul Property staked in 2021 (see news release dated July 28, 2021)
- Results from 2021 regional reconnaissance program show meaningful gold anomalies covering more than five kilometres of strike length
- Early-stage exploration areas with abundant potential
Cooper Quinn, President of Canterra, commented, "The Carter Lake Block is a greenfields portion of our extensive claims at the Noel Paul Property, with has had very little work done thus far. The completion of the soil sampling program represents an important step in advancing the project with the aim of generating new targets in the prospective Rogerson Lake Structural Corridor. We look forward to seeing the assay results and refining targets for more detailed exploration and follow up sampling."
Carter Lake Soil Sampling
Canterra has collected 1,282 soil samples at the Carter Lake Block as part of the summer 2022 exploration program. The Carter Lake Block, which was staked in 2021 based on recognition of a potential splay in the prospective Rogerson Lake Structural Corridor, is largely unexplored beyond a limited reconnaissance soil sampling program with 500 metre spacing completed in 2021 (news release dated December 21, 2021). This sampling showed a broad soil anomaly with results ranging from 10 to 28 parts per billion gold (ppb Au). Assay results from the recently completed program are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, with the resulting data to be used in conjunction with airborne magnetic survey data to define further targets for exploration.
