Falcon Gold Corp. announce that the Company has received drill permit approval to conduct a diamond drilling program at its Great Burnt Copper Project in central Newfoundland. The Company initially plans to test up to ten geophysical anomalies with a maximum of 1100 metres of drilling.

The Company will provide further guidance on an estimated drill start date once logistics for the program are determined and service providers are confirmed. Falcon holds 2,275 hectares in the Great Burnt Camp, with licenses located north of Benton Resources Inc. - Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. Great Burnt Copper-Gold joint venture. Benton Resources Inc. (?Benton?) recently optioned the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project from Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (?Spruce?) in an agreement that allows Benton to earn a 70% interest in the property.

The Benton-Spruce Ridge property is host to the Great Burnt Copper Zone, a deposit with an indicated resource of 381,300 tonnes at 2.68% Cu and inferred resources of 663,100 tonnes at 2.10% Cu. (/great-burnt.php). Recent drilling by Benton at the Great Burnt Copper Deposit reported drill results that returned 7.20% Cu, 7.12 g/t Ag, and 0.05% Co over 12.30 metres.

Previous drilling in 2020 by Spruce reported 8.06% Cu over 27.2 m. The Great Burnt Greenstone Belt is prospective for copper and gold, and further hosts the South Pond A and South Pond B copper-gold zones, and the End Zone copper prospect along a 14 km mineralized corridor. The mineralized corridor occurs along a conductive trend, and this conductive trend continues into Falcon's Great Burnt Copper Property.
