Signature Acquires Additional 157 Claims Along Favourable Gold Trend
TORONTO, April 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Signature Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SGU) (OTCQB:SGGTF) ("Signature" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received preliminary data from its recently completed survey conducted by Terraquest. A preliminary analysis of the data has determined that it is of high quality.
“I’m delighted to report that the data gathered was of particularly high quality and judging from the preliminary plots it appears that the geophysics has identified a number of magnetic and EM anomalies in the area associated with known mineralization,” stated Howard Barrie, CEO of Terraquest.
Signature as a result of its initial review of survey results is pleased to announce that it has staked 157 single cell claims totaling 3,099.2 hectares. This acquisition elevates the Lingman Lake property to a district scale exploration project. The claims, in part, cover the eastern extension of the favourable gold trend by approximately 8 kilometers.
“We are very excited to have added to our land position the 157 claims totaling 3,099.2 hectares. The important north contact zone between volcanic rocks and granitic rocks is effectively entirely staked along a 30 kilometer length. This action was driven by preliminary interpretation of the airborne survey, the results of which will be released pending qualified person sign-off,” commented Walter Hanych, President and CEO of Signature Resources.
With this acquisition, Signature land holding amounts to 15,096.3 hectares of land available for gold exploration within the Lingman Lake Greenstone Belt.

About Signature
The Lingman Lake gold property consists of four free hold patented claims and 762 single cell staked claims, comprising 15,096.3 hectares. The property hosts an historic estimate of 234,684 oz of gold* (1,063,904 tonnes grading 6.86 g/t with 2.73 gpt cut-off) and includes what has historically been referred to as the Lingman Lake Gold Mine, an underground substructure consisting of a 126.5-meter shaft, and 3-levels at 46-meters, 84-meters and 122-meters depths.
*This historical resource estimate is based on prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous operators, and information provided by governmental authorities. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to verify the classification of the mineral resource estimates in accordance with current CIM categories. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate. Establishing a current mineral resource estimate on the Lingman Lake deposit will require further evaluation, which the Company and its consultants intend to complete in due course. Additional information regarding historical resource estimates is available in the technical report entitled, “Technical Report on the Lingman Lake Property” dated December 20, 2013, prepared by Walter Hanych, P.Geo., and Frank Racicot, P.Geo., available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com
