Great Bear provides new sections and drills near-surface High-Grade Gold

Feb 9, 2021


Great Bear Resources Ltd. is reporting more impressive results from its ongoing exploration program at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district.

Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, “In this release we provide highly detailed individual assay level data from shallow drill holes on one cross section at three different scales.  With tighter drilling we have observed the same exceptional gold zone continuity at 25 metre drill spacing, both along strike and vertically, as we previously observed at 100 – 200 metre spacing.  By the end of 2021 we are planning to have completed approximately 100 drill sections similar to the one contained in this release, consisting of over 400 drill holes in total.  It’s worth emphasizing that all of this drilling is within the same continuous gold zone along more than 4 kilometres of strike length, which remains open to extension in all directions, and is present from bedrock surface.”

Figures 1 – 3 contain detailed information demonstrating gold zone continuity.  This news release provides results from 3 new LP Fault drill holes completed on drill section 19925.  Great Bear has now published results from 230 LP Fault drill holes and anticipates up to 400 LP Fault drill holes will be completed by the end of 2021.  The new drill results from this release are provided in Table 1.

New Drill Highlights from Drill Section 19925

  • 13.38 g/t gold over 18.15 metres from bedrock surface (29.85 to 48.00 metres) in drill hole BR-253.
    • This included a high-grade core of 38.39 g/t gold over 5.50 metres from 36.50 to 42.00 metres.
  • Drill hole BR-250B contained several mineralized intervals including:
    • 4.90 g/t gold over 16.50 metres from 148.00 to 164.5 metres.
    • 4.25 g/t gold over 57.00 metres from 172.00 to 229.00 metres
    • This included a high-grade core of 63.51 g/t gold over 1.85 metres from 226.15 to 228.00 metres.

“With tighter drilling we have observed the same exceptional gold zone continuity at 25 metre drill spacing, both along strike and vertically, as we previously observed at 100 – 200 metre spacing.”
