Maple Gold Mines Ltd. provided an update on exploration activities at its Douay Project (the "Project") located in Quebec, Canada. The Company has expanded its Fall 2020 drill program to consist of 10 holes totalling over 4,000 metres with completion expected in early January 2021 and assay results pending. The Company has also commenced one of the largest Induced Polarization ("IP") surveys to be carried out on the project totalling approximately 117 line km over three grids, including over a 15 km2 area along the northern flank of the Douay resource area. The Company has expanded its Fall 2020 drill program to consist of 10 holes, eight of which have been completed and two pending completion in January 2021, for a total of approximately 4,050 metres drilled to date. Key details are as follows: Three holes were completed at the high-priority regional Northeast IP Target ("NE IP Target") with one additional hole in progress and pending completion in early January 2021. Additional holes may be drilled at three remaining permitted sites on this target in the Company's Winter 2021 program. An initial hole was completed at the high-priority regional P8 Target. Two additional permitted sites may be drilled in the Winter 2021 drill program. Five holes were drilled in and around the Douay mineral resource ­ one step-out hole at the Main Zone, one infill hole at the 531 Zone and three infill holes at the Porphyry Zone. The initial assay process is taking longer than expected and results will be announced in Q1/2021 once they have been received, vetted, compiled and interpreted. Planning is also well underway for the Company's winter drilling program which is expected to commence in mid- January and will cover approximately 10,000 metres with multiple drill rigs. Winter 2021 IP Survey: During December, the Company commenced line cutting for a large IP survey to cover an initial 15 km2 target area extending up to 4 km northwest of the Central Zone at the Douay mineral resource. Line cutting on the first grid is now nearing completion and IP surveying will begin in early January. This area is considered high priority for several reasons: Presence of a major lithotectonic boundary or shear zone known to be spatially associated with gold mineralization at the Main, Central and NW zones; Presence of one of the richest overburden/top-of-bedrock historical drill results on the property at the Central Zone: hole 76955 encountered 256 gold grains within the basal till sample, with 240 gold grains being delicate and therefore likely transported no more than 500 m down-ice to the southeast. This potential source area remains undrilled; Presence of multiple drilling gaps extending over hundreds of metres; and Presence of several undrilled linear Artificial Intelligence targets to the north of the NW Zone. The Company expects to complete a total of approximately 117 line km during this IP program including the area shown in Figure 2. A second grid to be tested will include a new target located approximately 2.2 km southeast of the P8 Target, and a third grid located about 9 km to the southwest of the P8 Target will be surveyed to test a structural concept on the Joutel property, which is contiguous with the Douay property. The Company aims to delineate new high-priority drill targets upon the completion of the IP surveys in these three areas.
