Gatling Exploration Inc. announced an additional 25,000 m drill program on its Larder Gold project in Ontario, Canada. The primary focus will be near surface and along strike targets at all three highgrade zones as the Company continues to prove up mineralization along the continuous 4.5 km strike. In addition, a number of holes will follow up the 2020 drilling success at the Kir Vit prospect, 6 km north of the existing deposits. The Company also notes that, following the close of its successful $4.64M financing and share consolidation, there are now approximately 39M common shares issued and outstanding. Approximately 65% of the recent financing was taken up by institutional investors. Of further note, on December 15, 2020, Gatling held its Annual General Meeting with shareholders during which all resolutions were accepted, and directors were voted in with a minimum of 97% of votes in favour. Larder Gold Project Exploration Plan and Strategy for 2021: Fernland Deposit Expansion 13,500 m targeting near surface gold mineralization along strike and at depth. Initial drilling planned to prove up near surface gold zones by testing the lateral extent of gold mineralization heading westward towards the historic Omega mine in addition to new mineralized lenses at depth. Cheminis Deposit Expansion - 3,000 m targeting near surface gold mineralization along the north and south zones on the main Cadillac Larder Lake Break connecting both Fernland and Bear deposits. The Cheminis deposit is well defined within the parameters of the existing infrastructure and these new targets will aim to further prove up a near surface mineralized body. Bear Deposit Expansion - 4,500 m targeting along strike and up plunge. Targets are defined to tie together continuous mineralization between the heart of the Bear deposit (commencing at approximately 500 m below surface) and the highgrade lenses closer to surface. If drilling validates the continuity of the mineralization at the Bear deposit, this will establish nearly 1 km of vertical gold mineralization, becoming the largest mineralized body at the Larder Gold project. Kir Vit Prospect Hotspots - 4,000 m targeting new mineralized horizons and following up on 2019 first pass drilling which intersected gold mineralization in 13 out of 16 holes. In addition, the 2020 stripping campaign discovered a third gold trend at Kir Vit which will be tested in this drill campaign. Channel samples from the newly identified northeast southwest trending shear zones resulted in grades up to 16.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m at surface. Project DeRisking and Resource Advancement. Gatling is currently preparing to complete an updated resource estimate on the Larder Gold project and conduct preliminary pit/underground stope optimization models for all three highgrade gold deposits. Concurrently, metallurgical sampling will be completed. Regional Exploration. Gatling will conduct a thorough field program to investigate newly identified targets from 2020 campaign. Initial targets will include LiDAR trends along the main break and structural traps, eastwest conglomerate trends, intrusionrelated trends and upcoming AI targets from Windfall Geotek. 2020 Larder Gold Project Highlights: Confirmation of 4.5 km of continuous gold mineralization between Fernland, Cheminis and Bear deposits. Intersecting highgrade and near surface gold mineralization at Fernland including 11.9 g/t Au over 4.0 m and 2.4 g/t Au over 29.0 m. Discovery of a new parallel zone and significant near surface gold mineralization at the Cheminis deposit including 6.1 g/t Au over 6.0 m and 2.5 g/t Au over 39.7 m. Extension of the Bear deposit along strike and up plunge with highgrade gold intersections including 85.1 g/t Au over 3.0 m. Discovery of three new gold trends at Kir Vit - Intrusionrelated, conglomeratehosted, and shearhosted including 16.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 8.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 2.8 g/t Au over 7.0 m in channel samples.
