Kesselrun Resources Announces 15.7 g/t Gold Grab on New Huronian Shear Zone
Thunder Bay, October 11, 2017 - Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KES) ("Kesselrun") is pleased to provide the following update on its 100% owned Huronian Gold Project: Prospecting and structural mapping of the newly interpreted extension of the Huronian Shear Zone has resulted in a grab sample assaying 15.7 g/t Au hosted in a quartz veined sheared volcanic rock.
As previously released (see KES NR September 26, 2017), a new interpretation of the location of the Huronian Shear Zone (see Figure 1.) has been interpreted by Kesselrun's team. Kesselrun believes that previous operators interpreted extent of the Huronian Shear Zone was in fact one of numerous splays off the main shear zone.
Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President and CEO commented, "We are significantly pleased with this new discovery. The newly interpreted extension of the Huronian Zone opens up a great deal of prospective undrilled strike length. This zone, along with the Trench 2 and Fisher zone splays, makes a high priority target. Trenching crews have been mobilized to the area, the results of which will aid in drill targeting in the future".

Kesselrun holds 4.7M First Mining Finance (TSX:FF) shares with a current value of over $3M as of market close yesterday which management believes gives the company sufficient means to implement its corporate strategy going forward.
The Huronian Gold Project consists of 154 unpatented mining claims and four patented mining claims for a total land package of 5,200 hectares. The project is situated in the highly prolific Shebandowan Greenstone Belt located in the Abitibi-Wawa Subprovince approximately 100 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario along major transportation and power routes.
The project hosts numerous significant gold zones including the past producing Huronian Mine that produced 29,629 ounces gold and 170,463 ounces silver from 143,724 tons from 1932-1936 (Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines Production Records). The project also covers the southwest strike extension of Wesdome Gold Mine's Moss Lake Gold Deposit. The Moss Lake Gold Deposit hosts an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate of 40 million tonnes at a grade of 1.1 g/t (1,377,300 oz Au) Indicated and an additional 50 million tonnes at a grade of 1.1 g/t (1,751,600 oz Au) Inferred (Moss Lake Gold Mines NR February 20, 2013) as well as an NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (Moss Lake Gold Mines NR July 29, 2013).
Michael Thompson, P. Geo., President and CEO of Kesselrun, is the Qualified Person responsible for the project as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical information in this news release.
