Grande Portage Resources Files 2024 Drill Plan of Operation at the Herbert Gold Project in S.E. Alaska
Vancouver, January 18, 2024 - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GPG) (OTCQB: GPTRF) (FSE: GPB) ("Grande Portage" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed its 2024 Plan of Operation for continued mineral exploration at its Herbert Gold project near Juneau, Alaska.
Subject to regulatory approval, the proposed work schedule for 2024 consists of up to 10,000 meters diamond drilling with additional detailed mapping and trench sampling to expand previous exploration. The program will consist of one diamond drill rig utilizing up to eight pads to drill approximately 15 holes. These holes are planned to test the main mineralized structures of the Goat, Main, Sleeping Giant and Deep Trench veins.
The Herbert Gold Property is host to abundant composite vein-fault structures containing ribbon structure quartz-sulfide veins and lies prominently within the 100-mile-long Juneau gold belt, which has produced millions of ounces of gold through a total depth range of thousands of feet. Individual veins and vein systems can be traced for over 500 m on average along strike and from surface (130 m above mean sea level) to depths of 350 m below sea level.
The Herbert's major veins have not been drilled out and strongly mineralized gold-bearing structures extend into untested ground, especially to the east and at depth. Several other veins and structures have been discovered on the property which have good potential for economic gold deposition but to date have only received minimal exploration.

On December 8, 2023, the Company issued a news release announcing the closing of a non-brokered private placement which stated that the number of broker warrants issued was 167,470 the correct number of broker warrants issued was 167,400.
