Labrador Gold Begins 2025 Exploration at Hopedale Gold Project

Core Viewpoint - Labrador Gold Corp. has initiated its 2025 exploration program at the Hopedale gold project in Labrador, focusing on the underexplored Florence Lake greenstone belt, which spans 43 km [1][13]. Exploration Focus - The exploration will concentrate on the Thurber Gold trend, a 3 km area with significant gold occurrences, defined by four notable gold sites and anomalous gold in surrounding rock and soil samples [2][5]. - Historical sampling has shown promising results, with values up to 32.3 g/t Au at Thurber North and channel sampling at TD500 returning values of up to 14.0 g/t Au over 0.61 m [3][4]. Survey and Mapping - A 33-line kilometre IP/Resistivity survey will be conducted to identify chargeability anomalies linked to gold mineralization, alongside detailed mapping and prospecting in the grid area [4][5]. - Systematic rock and soil sampling has identified 52 samples over 0.5 g/t Au, with 33 samples exceeding 1 g/t Au, aiming to define drill targets along the Thurber Gold trend [5]. Additional Discoveries - Recent discoveries in the Rusty Ridge area include gold at the Fire Ant occurrence and copper-silver at the Stone Fly occurrence, with initial sampling at Fire Ant returning values up to 106 g/t Au [5][6]. - Follow-up sampling in 2024 at Fire Ant yielded values of 9.35 g/t Au and 0.19 g/t Au with 10.8 g/t Ag [6]. Growth Strategy - Labrador Gold is actively pursuing additional gold projects with resource potential, having reviewed over 40 projects, focusing on Canadian opportunities based on geological potential and jurisdictional stability [6]. Financial Position - The company has approximately $18.1 million in cash, supporting its exploration and acquisition strategies [12].
