Orford Continues to Report Thick Gold Intersections in the South Gold Zone on the Joutel Eagle Property.

20.04.2023  |  CNW

TORONTO, April 20, 2023 - Orford Mining Corp. (TSXV: ORM) (Orford) is pleased to report that it continues to receive thick mineralized gold intervals: 14.2 metres @ 2.2 g/t Au including higher grade (Table 1, Figure 1) from the 2023 Joutel Eagle Property ("Joutel Eagle") drill program. The majority of assays are pending (Table 2), with the remainder of results expected mid-May 2023.

David Christie, President and CEO of Orford, commented, "The results from the 2023 drill campaign on our Joutel Eagle property continue to prove the property has tremendous potential value both in the South Gold Zone and the new North Gold Zone. The continuity in gold grade and thickness across the South Gold Zone has been very encouraging."

Hole 23-JE-008 has reported two thick intersections of gold mineralization: 15.7 metres @ 1.7g/t Au (21.7 to 35.1 metres) and 14.2 metres @ 2.2g/t Au (61.9 to 70.1 metres) (Table 1) which is approximately 200 metres to the north west of hole 23-JE-015 which reported 54 metres @1.1 g/t including higher grade intervals of up to 9.1g/t Au over 0.4 metres (Table 1). Hole 23-JE-009, reported 0.3 metres @ 1.2g/t Au and seems to have been drilled too far to the north to hit the South Gold Zone which appears to migrate toward the south as it extends westward toward 23-JE-008 which was collared in gold mineralization. 23-JE-016 was drilled to confirm the presence of the South Gold Zone to the south of hole 23-JE-008 (Figure 1). We have now received results for a 250 m strike length of the tested 400m strike of the South Gold Zone (reported in today's release and Orford's releases of February 21, 2023 and March 17, 2023). However, the majority of assays are still pending (Table 2).

The Joutel Eagle Property is located along the fertile Casa-Berardi Structural Zone and historical Eagle-Telbel Mine Trend in the Abitibi Greenstone belt. A total of 14 holes and 2,535 metres (Table 3) have been drilled in 2023. This drilling program has tested a 400-metre strike length of the South Gold Zone (Figure 1), and Orford drilling results received to date from both the 20221 and 20232 drilling programs have shown that the South Gold Zone hosts higher grade gold over wider intersections than had been reported historically.

Assays

Sample shipments were sealed and shipped to AGAT Laboratories, Val-d'Or, Québec. All gold assays reported were obtained by standard fire assay on 50 gram nominal weight with an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish or by gravimetric finish in the case of overlimit and on request (methods 202551 and 202564) at AGAT Laboratories, Mississauga, Ontario. All samples were also analyzed for multi-elements, including copper and silver, using a four-acid method with an ICP-OES finish (method 201070) at AGAT Laboratories, Mississauga, Ontario.

Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") and interpretation of results are performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are inserted at a minimum of 10% for QA/QC purposes in addition to those inserted by the lab. A subset of samples has not yet been sent for a verification assay at another lab. AGAT Laboratories are accredited by the Standards Council of Canada and found to comply with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

About the Joutel Eagle Property

The property is situated just to the northwest of Agnico Eagle's past producing Eagle-Telbel operation which produced in excess of 1.1 Moz of gold4 from 1974 to 1993. The Joutel Eagle property covers 11 km of the Casa Berardi structural zone south splay (CBSZ) which is associated with several gold deposits and, together with our McClure East property, gives Orford over 17 km coverage on the prolific CBSZ). The Joutel Eagle Property sits to the north of Orford's 100% owned Joutel South Property and to the west of Orford's 100% owned McClure East property. Information from neighbouring properties is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on Orford Mining's properties. On November 30, 2021 Orford announced that it had entered an option to acquire 100% of the 50 square kilometer Joutel Eagle Project from Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX: GMX) (OTCQX International: GLBXF) (Frankfurt: G1MM).

About Orford Mining Corporation

Orford Mining is a gold and critical mineral explorer focused on highly prospective and underexplored areas of Northern Quebec. Orford's principal assets are the Qiqavik, West Raglan and lithium exploration projects comprising a land package totaling over 111,000 hectares in the Cape Smith Belt of Northern Quebec. The Qiqavik Project hosts several new high-grade gold discoveries along a mineralized trend in excess of 40 km. The West Raglan Project hosts a number of high-grade Raglan-style nickel/copper/platinum group metal discoveries along a 55 km mineralized trend. In early 2023 Orford acquired large claim blocks targeting lithium in the Nunavik Region. These lithium claim blocks have been carefully selected as having promising lithium potential after an exhaustive compilation of available data. Orford also has four property positions in the Joutel region of the Abitibi District of Northern Quebec, which hosts historical deposits such as the Eagle/Telbel, Joutel Copper, Poirier Copper, and Vezza deposits. Orford continually seeks new gold exploration opportunities in North America. Orford's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ORM. This information from neighbouring properties is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on Orford Mining's properties.
