McLaren Resources Inc. announced that it has recently completed an eleven-hole, 1,727 metre diamond drill program that was successful in intersecting gold mineralization on the west boundary of the Augdome Gold Property which is situated adjacent to the Dome Mine operated by Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp"). The gold mineralization which was intersected in McLaren's drill program crosses onto the Augdome Gold Property from the Dome Mine property. This gold mineralization is hosted within the gold-bearing Destor-Porcupine Fault structure in an area that has been disrupted and intruded by felsic intrusive porphyries. The Augdome Gold Property overlies approximately 2,300 meters of the Destor-Porcupine structure. All drilling was completed using NQ size core. Gold analysis of the samples collected by McLaren were undertaken by ALS Canada Ltd. Analysis consisted of a fire assay of a 30-gram sample with an atomic absorption finish. Samples assaying over 10.0 gpt Au are re-assayed with gravimetric finish. Samples noted to contain visible gold are analyzed via total metallic assay method. A rigorous Quality Control and Assurance Program is in place, using control samples such as blanks, standards and duplicate checks. In March 2018, McLaren plans to drill the TimGinn Gold Property located adjacent to the Hollinger Mine operated by Goldcorp. The gold zones of interest on the TimGinn Property are located in the area of the former Gilles Lake Mine which is situated adjacent to the Hollinger Mine Property.
