Research News and Market Data on NKOSF

OCTOBER 12, 2023

TORONTO, Oct. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from recent drilling targeting the highly prospective Appleton Fault Zone. The drilling is part of the Company’s ongoing 100,000 metre diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Kingsway Project.

Final results from first stage drilling at DropKick include significant near surface gold mineralization of 20.15 metres grading 1.81g/t Au from 50 metres, including 4.14g/t Au over 4.5 metres in Hole K-23-248. Several near surface intervals were also intersected in Hole K-23-245 including 1.77g/t Au over 5.15 metres from 31.85 metres downhole. Holes K-23-245 and -248 represent a 67 metre step out to the northeast. Hole K-23-254, a 136 metre step out to the southwest, intersected 2.45g/t Au over 4.1 metres from 108.9 metres, including an interval of 16.68g/t Au over 0.3 metres that contained visible gold. These latest intersections extend the known mineralization at Dropkick to over 360 metres strike length and it remains open in both directions. Twelve of the 15 holes drilled at Dropkick intersected gold mineralization with four holes containing visible gold.

“During the first phase of drilling at DropKick we demonstrated the presence of near surface gold over significant widths while increasing the strike length of known mineralization which remains open along strike in both directions. Further drilling is required to demonstrate the true potential of this discovery,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of LabGold. ”Planning is currently underway for drilling in The Gap, between Big Vein and Pristine, and to the south of Big Vein towards the recent Knobby discovery. Drilling of targets in these areas is expected to begin before the end of the month. We are excited to start filling in the gaps between the four discoveries made along a 7 kilometre section of the Appleton Fault Zone at Kingsway.”

Follow up drilling at Pristine included an intersection of 1.05g/t Au over 11 metres from 90 metres in Hole K-23-276 and 1.28g/t Au over 6.18 metres from 66.47 metres in Hole K-23-272. Mineralization drilled to date at Pristine mostly occurs above 86 metres vertical depth and extends over a strike length of approximately 160 metres.

Ongoing drilling at Big Vein intersected 2.76g/t Au over 8.97 metres from 233.56 metres, including 7.04g/t over 3.09 metres in Hole K-23-278.

QA/QC

True widths of the reported intersections have yet to be calculated. Assays are uncut. Samples of HQ split core are securely stored prior to shipping to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for assay. Eastern Analytical is an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory. Samples are routinely analyzed for gold by standard 30g fire assay with atomic absorption finish as well as by ICP-OES for an additional 34 elements. Samples containing visible gold are assayed by metallic screen/fire assay, as are any samples with fire assay results greater than 1g/t Au. The company submits blanks and certified reference standards at a rate of approximately 5% of the total samples in each batch. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are submitted to Bureau Veritas, an ISO 17025 accredited Laboratory in Vancouver, BC for check assays.

Labrador Gold Corp. (NKOSF) – Prospecting Yields a New Target


Thursday, August 17, 2023

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Prospecting yields high grade gold mineralization. Recent prospecting between the Big Vein and Golden Glove targets at the company’s Kingsway project has located a new gold showing called the Knobby occurrence. Grab samples from quartz vein outcrops returned gold values of up to 30.58 grams of gold per tonne, including samples grading 0.4 grams of gold per tonne, 2.7 grams of gold per tonne, and 29.19 grams of gold per tonne. Three parallel veins have been traced along an east-west strike for approximately 200 meters. This is the first indication of gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone between Big Vein and Golden Glove targets.

New target expected to be drilled this year. Prospecting continues around the Knobby occurrence and a ground geophysical survey extending from the southern boundary to Big Vein is being completed. Labrador Gold has applied for permits to drill up to 95 drill holes along this portion of the Appleton Fault Zone. Management has prioritized this area for drilling in the later part of 2023 following the receipt of permits and completion of the ground magnetic/VLF survey.

Release – Labrador Gold Reports High Grade Gold Assays Up to 30.58g/t Au Between Big Vein and Golden Glove

Research News and Market Data on NKOSF

TORONTO, Aug. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from recent prospecting along the highly prospective Appleton Fault Zone at its 100% owned Kingsway Project.

Recent prospecting between Big Vein and Golden Glove near the southern property boundary has located a new gold showing, the Knobby occurrence. Grab samples from quartz vein outcrops returned gold values from below detection (<5ppb) to 30.58 g/t including samples grading 0.4g/t, 2.7g/t and 29.19 g/t Au. Three parallel veins were observed and have been traced along an east-west strike for approximately 200 metres. Stibnite mineralization was observed associated with the quartz veining. This is the first indication of gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone between Big Vein and Golden Glove, an area that has seen little work to date.

“Today’s results of high-grade, surface gold mineralization in quartz vein outcrops between Big Vein and Golden Glove is very encouraging for the prospectivity of this 3-kilometre section of the Appleton Fault Zone,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of Labrador Gold Corp. “This is an area that we have prioritized for drilling in the latter part of this year once we complete an ongoing ground magnetic/VLF survey and receive the necessary permits. We are excited by the discovery of the Knobby occurrence which is reminiscent of our initial discovery of Big Vein by prospecting almost three years ago.”

Labrador Gold Corp. (NKOSF) – Drilling To Resume Next Week


Thursday, May 25, 2023

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Hitting on all cylinders. Drilling at Labrador Gold’s 100%-owned Kingsway gold project continues to target the Appleton Fault over a 12-kilometer strike length. The drilling is part of the company’s ongoing 100,000-meter diamond drilling program of which approximately 69,000 meters are complete. Assays are pending for approximately 3,500 meters of core. Most of the drilling has occurred at the Big Vein target which has been drilled over a 722-meter northeast-southwest strike length and remains open in both directions.

Drilling to resume next week. Following the seasonal thaw, drilling is expected to resume next week at the Drop Kick target, previously known as Home Pond South, where 10 to 12 holes representing approximately 2,000 meters of drilling will be completed. Following Drop Kick, the drill could move to the Pristine target where Labrador may drill 5 or 6 holes representing approximately 1,200 meters of drilling. Following Pristine, the drill could move either to the Gap Zone between Pristine and Big Vein or to the Peter Easton target, depending on receipt of drill permits for the Gap Zone. We expect the company to operate with three drill rigs, including two rigs at Big Vein to test for extensions of the mineralization to the northeast and southwest.

This hole was a wedge off Hole K-22-214 that was previously abandoned in mineralization at 486 metres due to excessive fracturing after intersecting 1.19g/t Au over 41.8 metres from 397 metres that included 2.32g/t Au over 18.6 metres including 61.15g/t Au over 0.3 metres (see news release dated March 2, 2023). Thes two holes form part of a new mineralized zone, the Greenmantle Zone, that lies below the HTC Zone at a vertical depth of 415 metres.

Hole K-23-225, a 100m step out to the northeast intersected 1g/t Au over 10.1 metres from 46.9 metres, that included an interval of 2.28g/t over 2.26 metres containing visible gold.

The Big Vein SW zone was extended a further 60 metres to the southwest with intersections of 3.69g/t Au over 2.97 metres from 389.41 metres including 12.05g/t Au over 0.59 metres in Hole K-23-216 and 1.95g/t Au over 9 metres including 8.97g/t Au over 1.6 metres in Hole K-23-218.

“Our aggressive step outs to the northeast and southwest continue to intersect gold mineralization at Big Vein which has now been extended to 722 metres in strike length and remains open in both directions. In addition, the discovery of the Greenmantle zone demonstrates the potential for continued mineralization at depth,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of Labrador Gold Corp. “Recent 3D modelling has given us a much better understanding of the structural complexity and controls on gold distribution at Big Vein. Mineralization is closely associated with splays off the Appleton Fault Zone which we now believe to run through Big Vein. This interpretation will guide our drilling as we seek to continue to expand Big Vein along strike and at depth.”

Release – Labrador Gold Intersects 2.32 g/t Au Over 18.6 Metres at Big Vein

Research News and Market Data on NKOSF

TORONTO, March 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from recent drilling targeting the highly prospective Appleton Fault Zone over a 12km strike length. The drilling is part of the Company’s ongoing 100,000 metre diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Kingsway Project.

Highlights of the drilling include an intersection of 1.19g/t Au over 41.8 metres from 397 metres that included 2.32g/t Au over 18.6 metres including 61.15g/t Au over 0.3 metres that contains visible gold in Hole K-22-214. This intersection, at 325 to 359 metres vertical, is the deepest yet at the HTC Zone which remains open at depth and to the northeast.

Hole K-22-214 was abandoned in mineralization at 486 metres due to excessive fracturing. The hole was wedged as Hole K-22-214B which subsequently drilled through the entire mineralized zone and was completed at a depth of 676 metres. Assays are pending.

Hole K-22-213 from Big Vein Southwest intersected 1.38g/t Au over 4.15m from 464 metres.

“The long intersection at the HTC zone, significantly extending this zone to depth, is encouraging especially as we also continue to step out towards the northeast. We have also made significant step outs in recent holes to the southwest, with assays pending, such that Big Vein has now been drilled over a strike length of approximately 590 metres and remains open in both directions.” said Roger Moss, President and CEO. “Two rigs continue drilling at Big Vein to test for extensions of the mineralization to both the northeast and southwest.”

Labrador Gold Corp. (NKOSF) – Keeping an Eye on the Hopedale Project


Friday, January 20, 2023

Mark Reichman, Senior Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Exploration continues at Hopedale. Labrador Gold released results from grab and channel samples from the northernmost Thurber Dog license at the company’s Hopedale project in Labrador. Hopedale consists of 998 claims in five licenses covering 249 square kilometers of the Florence Lake greenstone belt. Previous work by others revealed significant gold in rock and soil over a three kilometer strike length, including four mineralized occurrences: 1) Thurber North with up to 3.8 grams per tonne, 2) TD500 with up to 21.59 grams per tonne, 3) Thurber Dog with up to 11.4 grams per tonne, and Thurber South with up to 4.1 grams per tonne. In addition to gold, the property has nickel and copper potential.

Encouraging assay results. Grab samples at TD500 returned gold values ranging from 0.46 grams per tonne to 21.59 grams per tonne. Channel sampling over a strike length of 60 meters returned 2.91 grams gold per tonne over 5.17 meters including 14.02 grams of gold per tonne over 0.61 meters, 2.35 grams of gold per tonne over 6.88 meters, and 4.23 grams of gold per tonne over 5.04 meters. Shear hosted gold mineralization has been discovered over a 35 meter strike length. Grab samples at the Kaapak copper occurrence returned up to 10.2% copper with seven of nine grab samples assaying over 1% copper. Channel sampling over a strike length of 50 meters at Kaapak returned copper values of up to 3.31%.
