Warrior Gold Inc. announced that several grab samples from the summer-fall field mapping and sampling program on its Kirkland Lake West (KLW) and Kirkland Lake Central (KLC) claim groups returned several significant high-grade Cu-Ag-Au assays within a 1,400 m2 outcrop area. In addition, the data from the airborne surveys has been processed and interpreted. Grab samples of 6.61% Cu, 47.9 g/t Ag and 2.24 g/t Au; Samples are also anomalous in Bi (bismuth), Mo (molybdenum) and Te (tellurium), and associated magnetite, pyrite, epidote, hematite and calcite alteration minerals; Mineralization occurs in stockwork quartz-carbonate veinlets and fractures hosted in mafic volcanics; Airborne magnetic and LiDAR survey results and LiDAR maps identify many previously unrecognized structural features be explored for mineralization increasing the prospectivity of the Company's district-scale land package (250 km2).

This past summer-fall mapping and sampling project was undertaken over 45 field days. The team collected 239 grab samples in a preliminary prospecting and mapping effort across the KLW and KLC claim groups. The KLW and KLC (includes the Arnold property) claim groups comprise an area of 18,903 hectares (ha) and, combined with the Company's Goodfish-Kirana claim group (4,368 ha) and KL Bridge and KL East (1,610 ha) properties, makes Warrior Gold the second largest mineral claim landholder in the Kirkland Lake gold camp (approximately 25,000 ha).

Tens of kilometres of regional mineralized structures, as well as many historical pits, shafts and underground workings have been identified on Warrior Gold's properties and remain to be fully explored. The southwest portion of the KLW claim group is hosted within an apparently rotated north-south block of the Blake River Assemblage. North-south-trending structures and faults have been mapped by the OGS.

Reconnaissance geological mapping by Warrior's field geologists in this area identified the presence of widespread epidote alteration in mafic volcanic host rocks, felsic intrusive porphyries and quartz veining with breccia textures. The Company's recent assay results were returned from grab samples of mafic volcanics with stockwork quartz-carbonate veinlets and fractures accompanied by magnetite, pyrite, epidote, hematite, and calcite. Samples were anomalous in Bi (bismuth), Mo (molybdenum) and Te (tellurium).

This is similar to samples with higher gold values that are correlative with increased levels of Bi, Mo and Te at the Upper Beaver Deposit1. The geological environment, alteration, and mineralization of the grab samples in the KLW have similarities to the Upper Beaver deposit located east of Kirkland Lake; Upper Beaver is currently being developed by Agnico Eagle.
