Grande Portage Resources Ltd. announced that it has received all necessary regulatory approvals for its upcoming drill program at its 100% controlled Herbert Gold project located in southeast Alaska. The Company's 2023 plan is to drill approximately 15 holes over 20,000 feet of diamond drill core on the Company's Herbert Gold project. The drill program will target many geologically promising high value targets at the Main, Goat, Deep Trench, Ridge, and Sleeping Giant veins from multiple locations.

The drill holes are designed to be a mix of infill and step out holes, extending existing vein structures where its high-grade Indicated Resource of 1,196,800 ounces of gold (10.23 g/t) and Inferred Resource of 325,900 ounces of gold (8.91g/t gold) has been established (see NR May 12, 2021). Note that 11,550 m of drilling in 24 diamond drill holes from 2021 & 2022 has not yet been incorporated into the Company's mineral resource calculation. The Herbert Gold Project is host to abundant composite vein-fault structures containing ribbon structure quartz-sulfide veins and lies prominently within the 100-mile-long Juneau gold belt, which has produced millions of ounces of gold through a total depth range of thousands of feet.

Individual veins and vein systems can be traced for over 500 m on average along strike and from surface (130 m above mean sea level) to depths of 350 m below sea level (open).
