Enforcer Gold samples 510.79 g/t Au at Montalembert

Press Release: March 30, 2017
Enforcer Gold Corp. has released metallic sieve assay results from the October, 2016, channel sampling campaign on the Galena vein and vein No. 2.
The assaying process originally employed and reported in press release dated Jan. 20, 2017, was widely used and an industry standard fire assay technique with atomic absorption finish on a 30-gram sample. Usually, if gold results are greater than one gram per tonne, the laboratory will reanalyze the sample with fire assay and gravimetric finish. Even if this method is good up to 1,000 g/t gold, it does not perform well with the high nugget effect as is often the case at Montalembert. When visible gold is observed, or when high-grade gold is suspected, the metallic sieve method is a preferred assay technique.
Nine samples were selected for reanalysis using metallic sieve techniques. The results are found in the attached table.

Steve Roebuck, chief executive officer of Enforcer Gold, stated: “We are very encouraged by the results of the samples selected for the metallic sieve analysis technique. Seven of the nine samples increased in grade while two decreased. The most remarkable increase came from sample ID No. D110103, which increased from 5.59 g/t gold to 108.21 g/t gold, or 1,835 per cent. It was very important that we made this discovery now before the summer exploration program commences as we now know that assaying around the high-grade gold Galena vein and vein No. 2 needs to include metallic sieve assaying techniques. It is a more expensive process, but the higher-quality results clearly demonstrate that the additional costs are warranted.”
A description of the typical procedure is as follows: metallic sieve is able to overcome the nugget effect of gold by increasing the subsample size to 1,000 grams and physically collecting the free gold within the system using a 100-mesh sieve. The subsample is pulverized to about 90 per cent minus 100 mesh and subsequently sieved through a 100-mesh (106 micron) screen. The entire plus-100 metallic portion is assayed along with two duplicate subsamples of the minus 100 pulp portion. Results are reported as a weighted average of gold in the entire sample.
About Enforcer Gold Corp.
Enforcer Gold is earning a 100-per-cent interest in the 7,300-square-hectare high-grade Montalembert gold project located west of Chibougamau in Quebec’s prolific Abitibi greenstone belt. The project is very well situated only five kilometres from a paved highway, and hydroelectric power and easy access to skilled labour, fuel, food and accommodation it make exploration costs extremely low.
Two recent channel sample assays from the Galena vein, taken 20 metres apart along strike length, assayed 510.79 g/t Au over one metre and 118.79 g/t Au over one metre. Enforcer Gold has committed over $2.2-million to finance its 2017 exploration program, which includes: data compilation, ground and airborne geophysics, stripping of overburden, mapping, prospecting, channel sampling, and reverse circulation and diamond drilling.
Technical
Activation Laboratories Ltd. of Ancaster, Ont., and Laboratoire Expert Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda, Que., were the labs that performed the metallic sieve analysis.
