Toronto, Ontario – August 6, 2024 – Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update on its 100% owned Hammond Reef South Project, located near Atikokan, Ontario, and adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s fully permitted Hammond Reef Project (Fig. 1). Hammond Reef South was acquired in 2023 as part of the Company’s strategy of acquiring prospective mineral rights around Canada’s largest mines and development projects, which provides additional optionality for shareholders beyond the exploration drilling currently taking place at the Tartan Mine in Manitoba.

Highlights

Surface sampling returns 35.4 and 7.1 gpt gold at Hammond Reef South, in addition to other gold-bearing samples, discovering a new high-grade zone approximately 2 km from Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef Deposit, which is one of the few fully permitted mine projects in Canada (Fig. 1).
The Hammond Reef South Project had its exploration permit approved on July 24, 2024, which allows for drilling, trenching and ground geophysical work.
The Company has applied for the Ontario Junior Exploration Program grant, which provides for 50% reimbursement for exploration expenses up to $200,000.
Follow-up field work is scheduled to begin this week.
Hammond Reef South Project

During June of this year, a field program was initiated on the property to evaluate the surface for gold mineralization. The program successfully identified a new high-grade gold zone with assays returning 35.4 gpt, 7.1 gpt, and 2.9 gpt gold (Table 1 & Fig. 2). The Hammond Reef South property is located only 2 km from Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef Deposit, which contains a large mineral resource of more then 5 million ounces of gold and occurs in the same geological environment (Fig. 1).
