Toronto, April 5, 2022 - Kingsview Minerals Ltd. (CSE: KVM) (the "Company" or "Kingsview") is pleased to announce that the Company has added to its existing portfolio of mineral exploration properties located in Wawa, Ontario, by acquiring an additional 7,691 hectares ("ha") in the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt (the "Property Expansion"). Kingsview now controls 11,854 ha, representing one of the largest land packages in this gold-rich region.
The majority of the claims comprising the Acquired Property (as defined below) connects to and expands the Company's flagship Echum project (see Figure 1) located north-east of the town of Wawa and adjacent to Alamos' Island Gold Mine and Argonaut's Magino Gold deposit. Initial due diligence and early desktop work revealed numerous exploration targets for gold and base metals on the combined property, including known gold-bearing shear zones.
