Antilles Gold Limited advised that it has received assays from SGS Canada from the recent 1,800m cored drilling program on the out-cropping oxide gold domain at El Pilar in central Cuba. Preliminary results from the Cuban Government's laboratory, LACEMI. The new assays have generally replicated those from LACEMI, however, gold over-range assays for high grade samples (+40 g/t Au) were unable to be assayed in Cuba. Re-assaying these over-range, and high-grade gold zones at SGS has significantly upgraded the intervals in some sections, which suggests the presence of coarse gold, further adding to the very high-grade, and significant nature of these intervals at El Pilar from near surface. HIGHLIGHTS: Hole PDH 002 - 53.5m at 19.06g/t Au from10.0m including 16.4m at 41.64g/t Au; Hole PDH 001 - 13.0m at 45.17g/t Au from surface, including 3.0m at 194g/t Au; Hole PDH 001A -
4.3m at 4.96g/t Au from surface, and 16.3m at 3.31g/t Au from 14.3m; Hole PDH 003 - 8.0m at 5.88g/t Au from surface; Hole PDH 003A - 18.0m at 2.23g/t Au from 4.0m. Sampling Techniques and Data are set out in the JORC Code 2012 Edition Template attached. Assays from the underlying oxide copper domain at El Pilar have not yet been received from SGS. Negotiations have commenced to establish a joint venture between subsidiaries of Antilles Gold and the Cuban Government's mining company, GeoMinera, to which the 17,800ha El Pilar concession will be transferred from the Company's existing Exploration Agreement with GeoMinera. The existing concession is currently being divided into two separate concessions
with the same boundaries. The first will allow mining to a depth of 100m on the gold-copper oxide deposit, and the second will allow mining to any depth below 100m on the large underlying copper-gold porphyry system which is currently Antilles Gold's primary target in Cuba. The Company is also negotiating to expand the oxide concession to cover adjacent areas where extensive artisanal mining in the past is an indicator of the reasonable prospect of increasing oxide gold resources in the future. With respect to the porphyry concession, a preliminary drilling program of 5 cored holes to a vertical depth of approximately 600m will commence as soon as the current Ground Magnetics and Induced Polarisation surveys are completed and have been interpreted in around six to seven weeks. This work will be undertaken at Antilles Gold's cost as part of the review process for potential projects asset out in the Exploration Agreement, and be refunded from any future development Subject to the results of the preliminary drilling, Antilles Gold intends to subscribe additional equity to the El Pilar joint venture to enable a 20,000m drilling program, and associated metallurgical test work to be carried out from around July 2023. Antilles Gold intends to raise funding for its joint venture equity and the proposed drilling programs in a manner least dilutive for shareholders.
