Maple Gold Reports Final Assays from First Phase of Deep Drilling at Douay and Provides Corporate Updates
.
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 3, 2023) –Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G)(“Maple Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to report complete gold assay results from the first phase of deep drilling at the Douay Gold Project (“Douay”) located in Québec, Canada, which is held by a 50/50 joint venture (the “JV”) between the Company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited.
At Douay, the JV completed a total of 5,793 metres (“m”) in three new holes and two extension holes during the first half of 2023. Four drill holes were designed as deep conceptual exploration holes to test for mineralization extensions at greater depths (up to ~1,600 m vertical depth) beneath Douay’s currently defined Mineral Resources, and the fifth drill hole was a shallower step-out hole to the east of the NW Zone.

Highlighted Results and Key Takeaways:
- All five drill holes intersected gold mineralization >1 g/t Au, with 10 intercepts >2.5 g/t Au and several broad (from ~59 m to ~221 m in length) low-grade intervals (averaging 0.1 to 0.3 g/t Au), demonstrating continuity of the gold system down to at least ~1,600 m vertical depth.
- DO-23-332 and DO-23-326X both tested beneath the Porphyry Zone and returned the most compelling visual core observations with broad intervals of alteration and elevated fine grained pyrite mineralization. Such broad low-grade haloes, with multiple >1 g/t Au intercepts, are typical of the more peripheral parts of the Porphyry Zone.
- DO-23-332 intersected 10 distinct intercepts of >1 g/t Au over at least 1.0 m. A broad (121 m) mineralized envelope with anomalous gold (0.31 g/t Au average) included intercepts of 3.6 g/t Au over 1 m, and 1.2 g/t Au over 10 m, including 3.3 g/t Au over 2 m. Additional 4.9 and 2.5 g/t Au intercepts over 1 m were obtained further up hole.

Matthew Hornor, President and CEO of Maple Gold stated,
“This deep drilling program was developed to test the potential for a much larger gold system at Douay while also demonstrating continuity of mineralization beneath currently defined Mineral Resources.
“The average vertical depth of all previous drilling at Douay is roughly 300 m, with limited data below 500 m, so this first pass of deeper drilling was discovery-focused with the aim of bringing us one step closer to uncovering a new zone at depth.
“The program was successful from a proof-of-concept standpoint in demonstrating mineralization continuity up to four times deeper than Douay’s currently defined Mineral Resources.
“Given what we’ve encountered in the JV’s first deep drill holes, the Company remains highly encouraged and confident that our detailed interpretation and vectoring work will lead to promising follow-up targets to incorporate into future drill campaigns at Douay.
“To support these ongoing initiatives, I am delighted to welcome Josh Pelletier as the Company’s new Chief Geologist and believe that his strong structural geology and metallogeny background will help unlock value at our strategically located and district-scale project portfolio within Quebec’s Abitibi greenstone belt.”
