Catalin Kilofliski, CEO of Canagold, expressed his satisfaction with the results from this year's resource expansion drilling program. “With all assay results now received, we are actively modeling the new mineralization to assess the potential for expanding the already identified high-grade resources* with additional shallow high-grade resources at the

Table 1: Drill Hole Data
*Drill intercepts shown are core length as insufficient drilling and modelling has taken place to determine the true dip and strike orientation of the veins being intercepted.
Multiple veins are being intercepted in this area of the deposit as shown in Figure 1.
The drilling program has now been completed with 10,300 meters being drilled in 34 holes and modeling of the results are in progress. The drilling has intercepted five separate zones of mineralization in this area.
Drill Core Sampling and Quality Assurance – Quality Control Program
Drill core is geologically logged to identify the gold mineralized zones that are allocated unique sample number tickets and marked for cutting using a purpose-built diamond blade rock saw. Half core samples are collected in labelled bags and the other half remains in the original core box stored on site. Quality control (QC) samples including certified reference material standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted into the sample sequence at intervals of one in ten on a rotating basis to monitor laboratory performance and provide quality assurance (QA) of the assay results. Several sample bags are transported together in rice bags with unique numbered security tags attached and labelled with Company and lab contact information to ensure sample security and chain of custody during shipment to the lab.
Diamond drill core samples were prepared at MSA Labs’
Some diamond drill core samples were submitted to the
