Clarity Gold Corp. Acquires Two Gold Projects and Expands Empirical Project

VANCOUVER, July 6, 2020 – Clarity Gold Corp. (“Clarity” or the “Company”) (CSE: CLAR) is pleased to announce that it has acquired an additional two mineral property assets situated on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, namely the Tyber and the Gretna projects, and has increased the size of its Empirical project located 12 km south of Lillooet, British Columbia (the “Empirical Project”).

The Company acquired 4,007.5 ha of additional mineral claims adjacent and contiguous to the west of the Company’s Empirical Project directly through online staking. The Company also entered into a mineral property purchase agreement dated July 5, 2020, pursuant to which the Company acquired a 100% interest in and to the 928 ha Gretna Green, 1,331 ha Tyber, and 1,109.7 ha of mineral claims adjacent and contiguous to the east of the Empirical project (collectively, the “Claims”) for a cash consideration of C$10,000 and the issuance of 1,250,000 common shares (collectively, the “Shares”) in the capital of the Company. The Shares issued in connection with the acquisition of the Claims will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.


Tyber Project

The 928 ha Tyber gold-copper-silver project (the “Tyber Project”) is located in southeast Vancouver Island in the Nanaimo mining division, approximately 1.4 km south of Arrowsmith Lake and 18 km Southwest of Parksville. Historic rock samples taken from the property between 1916 and 1986 assayed up to 2.328 oz/t Au (from historic adit dump), 16% Cu and 305.5 oz/t Ag (1916 BC Mines Annual Report; Minfile 092F236). The Tyber Project consists of several mineralized shear zones ranging from less than 0.30 m to 2.60 m. Two historical adits on the Tyber Project, believed to be targeting mineralized quartz veins within local shear zones, extend approximately 14 m and 47 m in length (1981 Assessment Report 09432).


Gretna Green Project

The Gretna Green gold-copper-silver project (the “ Gretna Green Project”) is 1,331 ha and is located in the Alberni mining division, approximately 24 km Southwest of Port Alberni and 1.3 km North of Henderson Lake. Historical reports show that a selected sample assayed 48.00 grams per tonne gold, 51.43 grams per tonne silver and 17.8 percent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1921; Minfile 092F24). Limited information on the Gretna Green Project is available, however the QP (as defined below) believes the project warrants further exploration.

Empirical Expansion

The Company’s gold-copper-molybdenum porphyry project, the Empirical Project, located 12 km south of Lillooet, British Columbia now totals 10,518 ha. The Empirical Project is situated in the Cordilleran Continental Arc which hosts 26 significant porphyry deposits, including Imperial Metal Corporation’s historic Huckleberry Mine and Noranda’s historic Babine Porphyry camp. Between 1981 – 1986, six out fifteen diamond drill holes intersected gold mineralization, including hole DD81-4 which assayed 3.67 g/t gold over 21 m. Previous exploration focused on molybdenite without an understanding or aim of targeting a larger porphyry system. For more information on the Empirical Project, please see the Company’s National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) Technical Report on the Empirical Project filed on SEDAR on March 24, 2020.

The recently acquired claims have multiple copper showings in the Southeast, including the Rickhill Showing where six surface rock samples collected in 1959 averaged 0.95% copper over 12.9 meters (Minfile 092INW022). Elevated copper in soil samples indicate that this zone of copper mineralization may be extended up to a total of 30 m (Skerl, 1959). In 1970, 538 soils were collected with copper intensities ranging between 6 ppm to 212 ppm (Assessment report 02530).

The additional ground to the southwest of the Empirical Project consists of two molybdenum showings namely, the Molybdenite Lake and Fyp showings where historic samples taken from quartz veins have assayed up to 0.32% molybdenum and 0.35 g/t gold (Nelson, J. (1985-10-01): B.C. Gold Reconnaissance 1985 – Lillooet Project – Final Report; Assessment Report 30875; Minfile 092ISW109,092ISW110). Previous work has focused on the area’s molybdenum potential, with minimal exploration for gold.

“ We are building a solid foundation of exploration assets for Clarity with the acquisition of the Tyber and Gretna Green projects and the expansion of the Empirical Project” said James Rogers, Clarity’s Chief Executive Officer. “ We believe these properties are underexplored and represent an opportunity for Clarity to increase shareholder value with systematic exploration.”
