2020 Work Program Overview For Hammond Reef South Project


VANCOUVER - Victory Resources Corporation reported that it is advancing its exploration plan with the development of a work program for September 2020 on the Hammond Reef South Project, which adjoins Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Project in Northwestern Ontario. Having optioned the Hammond Reef South property from Abitibi Royalties is developing a work program for September of this year, which will include an extensive soil survey, mapping and magnetometer surveying, in anticipation of a drill program as early as Fall 2020, pending permitting.

"Exploration on the property, carried out from 2009 to 2012, consisted of widely spaced prospecting traverses and limited soil sampling. Significant mineralization was found just north of the property boundary by Osisko," said Geologist, Helgi Sigurgeirson. Anomalous samples from this local returned from 0.18 to 4.75 grams per tonne Au. The area of the property immediately to the southwest (i.e. along the usual trend of mineralization in the area) has had little exploration. Alteration and minor mineralization were located in other areas of the property as well, but the preliminary nature of the work has left much of the ground incompletely evaluated; leading to the recommendation for Victory's work program of mapping, soil sampling and magnetometer surveying."

The Hammond Reef South Project adjoins Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Project, which contains an open pit measured and indicated mineral resource of 208 million tonnes grading 0.67 gpt gold (containing 4.5 million ounces of gold), as well as open pit inferred mineral resource of 0.5 million tonnes grading 0.74 gpt gold (containing 12,000 ounces of gold), using a cut-off grade of 0.32 gpt, as of 31 December 2019. An Amended Environmental Assessment was submitted in January 2018 and the project subsequently received environmental approval from both Federal and Provincial agencies.
