Gold’n Futures Prepares for 2021 Drilling Season and Announces Private Placement of Units and Flow Through Shares

/EIN News/ -- VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GOLD’N FUTURES MINERAL CORP. (CSE: FUTR) (FSE: G6M), (OTC: GFTRF) (the "Company” or “Gold’n Futures”) is pleased to report its progress and plans for the 2021 exploration and drilling season on the Hercules project in the Greenstone gold camp in northern Ontario, Canada (the “Hercules Project”).

As stated in the Company’s news release of March 24, 2021, the Company has commenced its work on the Hercules Project, beginning with the geological and geophysical modeling of the known gold zones and across the property. The Gold’n Futures team has obtained the substantial database containing the Hercules Project’s technical information and has taken steps in preparing its initial analyses. Much of the historical work completed on the Hercules Project has been summarized in the National Instrument 43-101 report titled, “A TECHNICAL REVIEW AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE OF THE HERCULES PROPERTY, ELMHIRST AND RICKABY TOWNSHIPS, ONTARIO, CANADA FOR KODIAK EXPLORATION LIMITED”, prepared by Watts, Griffis and McQuat Limited ("WGM") and dated May 26, 2010 (the “WGM Report”). The WGM Report derived its resource estimation from a database comprised of 407 drillholes totalling 90,300 metres (“m”) and 173 trenches. The resource estimate defined in the WGM report is historical in nature and should not be viewed as a current resource estimate.

Relevant data not included in the WGM Report are:

• Pre-2005 historical drilling and trenching samples completed prior to the work of Kodiak Exploration Limited ("Kodiak") where locations of the hole collars and surface samples may have been uncertain; and,
  
  
• The sample results from 90 additional drill holes completed after the WGM Report was authored, totaled 15,580.7 m of core and with 7,946 samples taken. Table 1, shown below, contains some of the notable intersections of these later 90 holes.

The Company strongly believes that the above noted missing data, which amounts to about 20 - 25% of all Hercules Project exploration, could lead to an underestimation in the WGM Report as it relates to the potential resources of the Hercules Project. With much of the claims’ group still to be properly explored, Gold’n Futures’ exploration team is looking to make full use of all available results of the early exploration, coupled with the 2010 – 90 drill holes to vector to priority targets.

Stephen Wilkinson, Gold’n Futures’ CEO, commented, “I am most confident in the Company’s team, headed up by P. Geo. Walter Hanych. Walter has provided valuable resource experience to our management team and he has been instrumental in exploration planning and data reorganization that will drive our next steps in opening up the potential of the Hercules Project. We believe that much can be added to the current gold resource models from expansion of the known gold occurrences and by following up on the new targets we are generating by incorporating past assessment files data. The team of geophysicists that we have engaged is working on the compilation of all past geophysical surveys and is coordinating with our geologists. The objective is to create a coordinated interpretation of the controlling mineral structures that in turn will vector our target selection.”

2021 Hercules Exploration Plans

The Company has commissioned a National Instrument 43-101 report, which will summarize the historical work performed on the Hercules Project, listed above. The Company is currently compiling and tabling the historical data in preparation for constructing a current resource block model. Structural and geological modelling of the gold zones together with the completed geophysical interpretation will be an integral component of this compilation to identify domains of gold mineralization. An early and high priority objective for the desktop work will be the locating of areas for follow-up trenching and drill collar sites so the Company will begin the permitting of its next round of property activities.

The initial on-site work will begin immediately upon the completion of spring break-up. The Company will undertake a program of core re-sampling as past sampling intervals were not consistently extended to the shoulders of a sample or sample intervals. Sampling will be commenced to infill and to expand the surface areas of the gold zones in existing trenches and outcrops. Where drill technical data is wanting, surveyors will locate drill collars and down hole surveys will be done with equipment not influenced by the highly magnetic character of the host rocks.

It is expected that some results of this early work will be available for release beginning within the next few weeks and the Company will keep its stakeholders fully apprised of its progress and findings. Once our planning has advanced and permit obtained, Gold’n Futures will commence its first diamond drill program for which we are anticipating an initial round in the order of 10,000m.
