Pacton Commences 10,000 m Drill Program at Red Lake Gold Project, Ontario

VANCOUVER, Oct. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Pacton Gold Inc. PACPACXF (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced  Pacton's Red Lake Gold project in northwest Ontario. The 10,000 m program will initially focus on high-priority targets at the Boyden prospect (Figure 1). The program will also test targets at Carricona as well as potential extensions of known mineralization from adjacent projects within the prolific Madsen-Dixie fault corridor. The program is expected to continue into 2020.

About the Boyden Prospect

The Boyden Prospect has been chosen as the first drill target area based on the results of Pacton's initial exploration activity and analysis of historical data. Recent channel sampling at the prospect by the Company returned values including 101.3 g/t Au and 33.9 g/t Au, as shown in Figure 2 (see Pacton news release dated October 23, 2019). Pacton geologists have collected surface grab samples returning values including 19.0 g/t Au, 23.3 g/t Au and 126.5 g/t Au (see Pacton news release dated July 26, 2019). Historic sampling in the prospect area also includes 6.0 g/t Au and 147.4 g/t Au. The prospect is underlain by intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks with pyrite, galena, sphalerite and gold mineralization associated with quartz veining and silicification. The area has had limited historic exploration work including trenching and pitting with eight historic drill holes ranging from 20 to 200 m depth.
