Ardiden Limited announced update the market regarding exploration at the company's Pickle Lake Gold Project. This update describes: 1) Airborne Geophysical survey and evaluation of the Esker Gold Prospect and the Western Hub; 2) Reporting on the Winter drilling campaign at Kasagiminnis and South Limb. The Pickle Lake Gold Project is a continuous District-Scale land tenure package of 870km2 (87,000 hectares) situated east of Red Lake in northwest Ontario. The connected tenure is majority 100% owned by Ardiden and currently contains 22 identified gold deposits and prospects that the Company is systematically exploring. The Western Hub encompasses 50km of under-explored prospective strike length and contains both highly favourable geology and structural settings for gold mineralization. This gold prospectivity is further evidenced by the company's 100%-owned Dorothy-Dobie Prospects Barrick's' Golden Patricia Mine (619,796 oz at 15.2g/t Au production 2 from 1988 to 1997). As illustrated significant regional scale mineralized structure that hosts the past-producing Golden Patricia mine with a head grade of 15.2g/t Au, which closed in 1997 due to low gold prices. Historical drilling at Esker shows significant widths of gold intersections including: 5.35m at 3.1g/t Au (including 24.0g/t Au over 0.3m) in hole ME88-06, and 12.03m at 3.2g/t Au (including 13.5g/t Au over 0.9m) in ME88-08. These historical gold intercepts are distributed over a large 3 km under-explored structure at Esker and are associated with the northwest-southeast trending `Bear Head Fault Zone' BHFZ, (which extends over a strike length of 50km. Further northwest along the BHFZ, the company's Western Hub area incorporating the Dorothy and Dobie Gold Deposits includes high grade significant gold intersections of: 0.5m at 472.8 g/t Au from 184.10m in DOR-90-043; 0.44m at 153.5 g/t Au from 111.40m in DOR-07-005; 1.50m at 13.7 g/t Au from 43.32m in DOR-88-034; 1.10m at 12.0 g/t Au from 71.72m in MDW-90-026; 8.63m at 5.5 g/t Au from 55.82m in DOR-88-028; 20.65m at 3.6 g/t Au from 96.85m in DOR-88-025; 7.12m at 3.6 g/t Au from 113.06m in DOR-88-032. Winter drilling at the company’s Kasagiminnis Gold Deposit was cut short due to rapidly warming weather which necessitated taking the rig off the ice prematurely. Only two holes were attempted on the frozen lake, east of previous drilling. Drillers were unable to properly collar these holes (KAS21-03/-04) and test the planned targeted depths. Consequently, the strike extension to the east remains untested and will be followed up next Winter utilizing the improved access, now in place. KAS2101, KAS2102, KAS2105 and KAS2106 all intersected gold mineralization with grades up to 5.25g/t Au as illustrated in Figure 6 and tabled at the end of this announcement. KAS21-01: Mineralized iron formation within a suite of intermediate to mafic volcanics, weak to moderately foliated with flat lying shear zones defined by silica, carbonate, and chlorite alteration. Up to 5% pyrrhotite and 3% pyrite present with: 2m at 1.22g/t from 122m; KAS21-02: Mineralized shear zones and iron formations with locally mineralized, moderately foliation bands up to 5% pyrrhotite and pyrite. High strain flat shear zone and anomalous mineralization with: 1m at 3.49g/t from 118m; 2.0m at 2.34 g/t from 121m; 1.5m at 1.02 g/t from 129.5m; KAS21-03: Hole abandoned; KAS21-04: Hole abandoned; KAS21-05: Mineralized intermediate to mafic volcanics with heavily altered shear zone, chlorite, carbonate, and albite alteration with up to 4% pyrrhotite and 3% pyrite present with: 1m at 3.25 g/t from 103m; 1m at 3.95 g/t from 112m. KAS21-06: Felsic to Mafic volcanics with a series of flat high strain flat shear zones and localised brecciation, alteration is patchy to pervasive with chlorite, carbonate, and silica. Mineralization is up to 3% with pyrrhotite and 3% pyrite present with: 1m at 1.55 g/t from 147m; 1m at 5.25 g/t from 148m; 2m at 1.23 g/t from 149m; 1m at 4.55 g/t from 156m; 1.9m at 1.68 g/t from 161m. The high-grade one metre intercept of 5.25g/t Au in hole KAS2106 within a broader 4m mineralized zone averaging 2.3g/t Au from 147m, indicates that the mineralized system continues near surface. Measurements from orientated core at Kas in conjunction with ongoing geophysical interpretations strongly indicates that identified sub-horizontal structures and offset faults represent significant controlling factors of gold distribution. A total of 6 holes (1,293m) were completed at the eastern end of the South Limb Gold Prospect before the rig was relocated to Kasagiminnis. Sampling of these holes, described below, encountered sulphides but no significant gold assays.
