Great Bear Resources announced completion of drill hole planning and preparation for a Phase 2 drill program at the Dixie Lake gold project, located in the Red Lake district of Ontario. Area 1 (Dixie Structure): Follow-up drilling along the main Dixie structure where the Company completed its 2017 drill program. The primary targets in this area are down-plunge extensions of high grade gold intercepts, including those disclosed by the Company on September 7 and November 2, 2017. The Company believes sufficient structural information has been collected to predict gold zone geometries and will test the continuity of higher grade gold mineralization at depths of up to 200 metres. Current results suggest 3 - 5 zones of higher grade gold are present within a continuously gold mineralized structure defined by 70 drill holes to-date, along 500 m of strike length. Steeply-dipping structurally-hosted gold zones are common in Red Lake and can increase in grade with depth. Area 2 (Hinge Zone): Drill test the "Hinge Zone" of the main Dixie structure. This area was drilled in 2007 and 2008 by previous explorers but has not yet been drilled by Great Bear. It may represent the hinge of the main Dixie Lake structure where the gold zone has been tightly to isoclinally folded. This area yielded the higher grade historical intercepts on the project, prior to Great Bear's drilling. Area 3 (South Limb): If the main Dixie Lake gold structure is tightly folded, the zone drilled by Great Bear during its Phase 1 program may be repeated on the other limb of this fold. The Company will now drill test the southern limb during Phase 2 drilling. Sporadic historical drilling returned a high value of 15.06 m of 2.23 g/t Gold including 1.0 m of 9.01 g/t gold. The geometry of gold mineralization in this area will inform the Company whether gold mineralization pre- or post-dates the folding, which will be critical to later defining total mineralized volumes in Areas 1, 2 and 3. Area 4 (Northwest Limb): The Company recently extended its claims into this area to control the on-strike extension of the main Dixie Lake gold structure, as disclosed on September 5, 2017. Great Bear will now drill test the area around a historical drill hole which returned 7.0 m of 2.0 g/t gold including 1.0 m of 10.47 g/t gold. Recent analysis by Great Bear strongly suggests that this interval has the same mineralization characteristics, and matching host rock descriptions to holes drilled by the Company within the main Dixie Lake structure, approximately 2 kilometres away. The 2017 airborne geophysical survey carried out by the Company shows a continuous magnetic anomaly between the main Dixie Structure and this 2005 drill hole. Successful confirmation of gold mineralization in this area would suggest significant on-strike potential for gold mineralization along the Dixie structure, which has been geophysically interpreted to extend for over 20 kilometres on Great Bear's claims, as disclosed by the Company on November 2, 2017.
