EnGold Mines Ltd. reports that assays from quartz veins encountered in an upper portion of drill hole AZS22-83 targeting the Aurizon Gold Deposit at the Company's 100% owned Lac La Hache Property in the Cariboo Region of BC have returned significant gold values, including 2.5 meters grading 11.40 AuEq and 7.11 metres grading 7.15 gpt AuEq, including 0.75 metres grading 79.21 gpt AuEq. The sections reported contained visible gold and were assayed on a rush basis as the hole continues to a projected depth of 900+ metres, which is expected to intersect the main Aurizon hydrothermal breccia structure. These rush-assay results are tabulated below.

Additional assays within this hole and hole AZS22-82 are pending. All results are core lengths only as the true width of the structures reported have not yet been determined. The Aurizon Gold Deposit, located near the southeast end of a 10 kilometre mineralized corridor at Lac La Hache, contains an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1,991,000 tonnes at a grade of 3.18 g/t AuEq, 2.32 g/t Au, 0.60% Cu and 5.3 g/t Ag based on a 2.0 g/t Gold Equivalent cut-off grade.

Hole AZS22-83 is the second Aurizon Gold drill hole of EnGold's 2022 drill program. AZS22-82, drilled to a depth of 1,235.37 metres, encountered multiple mineralized zones (assays pending), but is interpreted to have deviated paralleled the main, steeply dipping Aurizon Gold structure. Hole AZS22-83 is being drilled at a shallower angle, targeting a pierce point on the Aurizon structure at approximately 700-800 metres below surface, or about 200 metres above the planned intercept of the prior hole.
