Pacton Gold Inc. Provides Update on Acquisition of High-Grade, District-Scale Copper Project in Labrador
VANCOUVER, November 16, 2022 - Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV:PAC)(OTC PINK:PACXF)(FSE:2NKN) (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to provide an update on the status of the acquisition of the district-scale Adeline copper project in Labrador, Canada (see news release dated October 19, 2022) (Figure 1 below). The TSX Venture Exchange will lift the halt on trading of the Company's common shares effective November 17, 2022. Project Highlights
Adeline - an accelerated entry into copper. Adeline checks all the exploration and investment boxes in both the industrial and strategic metals markets: enthusiastic mining jurisdiction (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), hundreds of significant copper targets over a sedimentary belt measuring 40 km by 15 km, demonstrated ore grades and thicknesses at several prospects encountered by reconnaissance drilling, and remote from urban centers but accessible for exploration and development (Figure 2).
Geology points to district-scale potential. The Adeline Cu-Ag project shares certain key characteristics, such as regional scale, age of mineralizing event (Proterozoic, about 1 billion years) and(or) formational geology with several giant sediment-hosted copper mineral systems that contain significant copper deposits, including:
- Keweenawan Copperbelt, Michigan
White Pine: 230MT at 1% Cu, 12 g/t Ag
Copperwood: 100MT at 1.4% Cu, 4 g/t Ag
- Udokan Mine, Russia
Mineral Resources: 2.75BT at 0.97% Cu, 11.9 g/t Ag
Mine Reserves: 1.2BT at 2.0% Cu
- Central African Copperbelt
Ivanhoe's Kamoa-Kakula project: 1.4BT at 2.74% Cu (Indicated) over vertical thickness of 6.5 m, 339MT at 1.68% Cu (Inferred) over vertical thickness of 4.5 m
Chambisi Mine, Zambia: 200MT at 2.00% Cu
Chambisi West, Zambia: 45MT at 2.25%
Nkana-Mindola, Zambia: 612MT at 2.5% Cu
- El Soldado Mine, Chile
Global Resource: 200MT at 1.35% Cu, 10-20 g/t Ag
Mine Production: 70MT at 1.80% Cu (similar but much younger age)
Focused Acquisition Strategy. Pacton's business strategy and objective are to explore and de-risk the Adeline property to a stage that justifies its acquisition and development by a global copper producer.

Figure 2. The Adeline project totals 297 km2, covering an entire sedimentary basin with approximately 250 known copper occurrences.
