High Tide Resources, a Subsidiary of Avidian Gold, Commences Soil Geochemical Survey on its Black Raven Gold Property

TORONTO, October 28, 2019 - High Tide Resources Corp. ("High Tide") is pleased to report that it has commenced a soil geochemical survey on its Black Raven property near Twillingate in north-central Newfoundland, Canada. High Tide is a private company that is majority owned by Avidian Gold Corp. ("Avidian" - TSX-V:AVG).

As reported on September 27, in early 2019 High Tide conducted reconnaissance geology and prospecting as well as local stripping and detailed channel sampling in which three significant mineralized systems were recognized. High Tide's initial field work suggests that the three areas may be related to a single, large hydrothermal system.

In an effort to define the geochemical and geophysical footprint of these systems, and to test nearby ground which is poorly exposed, High Tide has commenced a geochemical soil survey on 200 m spaced lines at 25 m sample space resulting in approximately 1134 soil samples over the northern half of the property (see Map 1) which will be followed by an IP/Resistivity survey and/or drilling.

The Black Raven Property contains two small past producers (Stewart gold deposit and Frost Cove antimony deposit), as well as numerous discrete gold-bearing quartz-arsenopyrite veins. High Tide recognizes a prospective environment for Intrusion Related Gold Systems ("IRGS") type deposits, with mineralization occurring proximal to intrusions in a relatively accessible part of Newfoundland; the situation is similar to Avidian's properties in the Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska.
