Quadro Resources Details Results from a Recently Completed Soil Sampling Program on the Staghorn Project and Provides Update on Its Exploration Plans in Newfoundland
Vancouver, April 25, 2018 - Quadro Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QRO) ("Quadro" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update regarding outlining a strong gold-in-soil anomaly from recent work at its Staghorn Gold property and its future exploration plans on both Staghorn and the recently staked Great Northern Peninsula (GNP) claims. The 100% owned Staghorn property consists of 405 claim units (101 sq km) covering a thirty kilometer strike length of the gold rich Cape Ray Fault. This structure hosts a number of significant gold deposits including Marathon Gold's Valentine Lake deposit (indicated and measured resources of 1,847,000 oz Au and inferred resources of 1,012,000 oz Au), located 30 kilometers to the northeast of Staghorn. The Great Northern Peninsula claims consist of two blocks (Pistolet and Cape Rouge) totaling 122 claim units (30.5 sq km) and cover a portion of a black argillaceous shale unit which is analogous to the geology which hosts White Metals Resources new Gunner's Cove gold discoveries (see press release dated Nov. 20, 2017). Staghorn: At the Staghorn property, results were received from a recently completed soil sampling program (approx 800 samples) designed to cover areas of high gold potential which were not previously sampled. The results outlined a 1.6 km long gold-in-soil anomaly with a peak value of 7,233 ppb gold. The strongest part of the anomaly is within a 500 m by 125 m area defined by a number of samples assaying greater than 100 ppb Au. The anomaly is coincident with a strong magnetic low and is located on the northeast part of the property approximately 1000 m west of the high grade Ryan's Hammer float material which assayed up to 32.15 g/t Au (See QRO press release dated Aug 21, 2017).
A follow-up six month field program is scheduled to commence by mid May, or once weather conditions allow, and will initially consist of prospecting, additional soil sampling geological compilation and excavator trenching. This work will focus on a number of targets including the recently outlined Rose soil anomaly, Ryan's Hammer, the GP zone and Woods Lake East. A minimum 1,500 metre summer drill program will follow, once the initial results have been compiled.
Great Northern Peninsula: An initial field program of prospecting and geological/geochemical compilation is scheduled to commence on Quadro's two GNP claim licences in June. This program will focus on evaluating the black shale unit previously mapped on the Quadro licences. This unit hosts the Gunner's Cove style gold mineralization which may potentially represent an important new discovery in a unique geological environment similar to other large gold deposits hosted in black shale environments around the world. Results from the initial work should be available by early summer.
Barry Coughlan, CEO of Quadro stated, "The Newfoundland programs give Quadro a significant opportunity for "new" gold discoveries both in an emerging belt at the Cape Ray Fault system and in a newly discovered gold environment at Gunner's Cove. We anticipate announcing a steady flow of results over the summer."
