Kirkland Lake Discoveries announced the results from the thirteen drill holes totaling 3,376m that were completed to follow up on surface showings, mapping, prospecting and ground IP at the Hurricane Intrusive Zone. This fault-bounded zone is located on the KLD East Side (Figure 1) of the Company's Kirkland Lake project in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The Company successfully intercepted wide zones of alteration, quartz veining +/- sulphide mineralization.

This drill program was a progressive step toward understanding and unlocking the geological potential of the area. Highlights of drilling: Highly altered zone with veining encountered at Whiskey Jack, with a four-metre zone of extremely bleached mafic volcanics. Whiskey Jack East drilling intercepted highly altered syenites and feldspar porphyry with intense quartz veining and increased mineralization associated below the redox boundary defined by the transition from magnetite to hematite.

The mineralized vein found at the Norwood showing was successfully intercepted at depth and contained visible gold indicating the continuation of the mineralized system at depth. Mineralization at Jensen did not continue below surface The Whiskey Jack zone at depth consisted of a wide, highly altered zone within mafic volcanics and gabbro. Alteration within the two holes consisted of strong sericite, calcite, and epidote alteration.

Within these strongly altered zones, there was an increase in at least two generations of veining. One generation was observed to be wider intersections of quartz, carbonate veins + pyrite, while the other consisted of quartz carbonate stringers with interstitial hematite alteration. Sulphide mineralization consisted dominantly of pyrite, which in areas, was semi-massive.

To a lesser extent, chalcopyrite was present. Whiskey Jack East drilling consisted of syenite to mafic syenite, with strong, pervasive potassic-hematite alteration. The top of the hole within the Whiskey Jack East zone was drilled into a magnetic high, which is interpreted to be related to the patchy magnetite observed throughout the interval.

Further downhole, the magnetite transitioned into specular hematite, coincident with the boundary in the magnetics from high to low. This represents a redox front and a potential geochemical trap. A significant intersection of stockwork quartz veining was intersected (Figure 3), representing a wide fluid flow pathway.

Although significant values were not intersected within this stockwork section, this significant fluid conduit warrants further follow-up. The Norwood showing was drilled to investigate multiple mineralized vein sets determined through surface grab samples and historic trenching. Hole KLD24-20 successfully intersected one of the mineralized veins, hosted within a mafic syenite and intercalated mafic volcanics.

Within this vein intersection, fine-grained visible gold was noted establishing that surface mineralization extends to depth. Samples were halved by a core saw with one half being placed into a plastic bag with the sample number written on the bag and a sample tag placed inside the bag. The plastic bag was then zipped tied and secured in a locked container until delivery to the lab.

Batches of samples were sealed in rice bags and hand-delivered by KLDC to MSA Labs in Timmins, ON. Samples were crushed to 70% passing 2mm with a riffle split of 500g to place in Photon jar for Photon Assay (gamma ray) for gold only. Another riffle split of 250g was pulverized to 85% -75 µm for an aqua regia digestion analytical 39 multi-element ICP-MS method.

KLDC inserted OREAS blanks and certified reference materials (OREAS 236 and 153a) into the sampling stream at a rate of 8% (4 blanks and 4 standards per 100 samples).
