Pacton Mobilizes Field Crew at Red Lake Gold Project
Vancouver, May 30, 2019 - Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC, OTC: PACXF) (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to announce that field crews have mobilized for the 2019 Exploration Program at the Company's Red Lake gold project in Ontario, Canada. Initial activities, including prospect-scale mapping and sampling, will focus on two key areas: Carricona and Boyden. Previous work on these high-priority targets includes trenches, pits and surface sampling, and results as high as 15.9 g/t Au, 133 g/t Au and 121.4 g/t Au have been reported historically (Figure 1). Pacton field crews uncovered trenches at the Carricona prospect and have confirmed the presence of mineralized mafic and felsic volcanic rocks with faulted contacts (Figure 4). High-Grade Gold Targets. Initial exploration activities will include detailed mapping and sampling at historic high-grade gold occurrences. Additional targeting will include soil sampling and structural studies to target D2 structures that are coincident with mafic-felsic contacts, a similar geological setting as the recent discovery by Great Bear Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: GBR) of the Bear Rimini zone (see Great Bear Resources Ltd. press release dated May 28, 2019).
Highly-Prospective Geology. The high-resolution magnetics survey indicates the presence of more basalt volume and greater structural complexity within the Red Lake property than historical work has indicated (Figures 2 and 3). Importantly, small-to-large scale folding has been identified that is coincident with historic high-grade gold occurrences and felsic-mafic contacts at Red Lake.
Upcoming 10,000 m Drill Program. The initial work at Red Lake will form an important part of drill targeting. The Company has already commenced the permitting process and drilling is scheduled to begin in late summer.
