Canadian Gold Resource Expands Lac Arsenault Property Targeting High-Grade Epithermal Gold-Silver Mineralization

December 16, 2024

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian Gold Resource Ltd. ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company”) (TSX.V: CAN) is pleased to announce the expansion of its Lac Arsenault property with the addition of 64 new claims, increasing its size by 36.62 square kilometres (3,662.2 hectares), nearly doubling the size of the existing property. This strategic acquisition targets key structural features associated with high-grade epithermal gold and silver mineralization.


Expansion and Exploration Potential

The newly staked claims encompass additional interlinking fault zones, providing excellent targets for further exploration. These areas, which have seen little prior exploration, are expected to contain further high-grade gold and silver mineralization, similar to the Baker vein discovery.


"We’re excited to expand our footprint at Lac Arsenault and explore these critical structural features that have the potential to host significant gold-silver deposits," said Ronald Goguen Chairman, President & CEO of Canadian Gold Resources. "This expansion positions us to build on our discoveries and unlock the full potential of the property."

“The discovery of interlinking fault structures at Lac Arsenault is a significant finding,” said Mark Smethurst (P.Geo.), Geologist of Canadian Gold Resources. “We believe these faults, part of the Grand Pabos and Rivière Garin systems, form dilational zones that create favorable conditions for gold and silver deposition similar to the Baker and Mersereau vein systems within our newly staked claims. These types of structures are well-known for hosting high-grade mineralization.”


Qualified Person
Mark T. Smethurst, P.Geo., a director of Canadian Gold Resources is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the contents and technical disclosures in this press release.


About the Lac Arsenault Property
The Lac Arsenault property is situated within a regional fault system that hosts strike-slip faults and interlinking fault segments, key features for epithermal gold-silver mineralization. These structures create dilational zones that allow for the preferential flow and deposition of hydrothermal fluids, resulting in high-grade mineralization within veins like the Baker vein system. This system, rich in gold and silver, exemplifies the potential of the property for additional discoveries.

Dieppe, N.B. – Novem ber 25, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that its maiden diamond drill program at the Lac Arsenault Project is now underway. Drill equipment has arrived on site, and the Company has completed the first drill collar. A total of 12 drill pads have been constructed to support initial drilling at the high-grade Baker Vein, forming the first phase of the Company's planned program. Canadian Gold is currently operating under a permit authorizing 36 drill holes totaling approximately 3,000 metres. As previously announced on November 14, 2025 ( Link to press release ), the Company has submitted an amended permit application to the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF), which is currently being reviewed. If approved, the amended permit would allow the drill program to expand to up to 60 drill holes, including approximately 15 holes designed to test new high-priority vein and stockwork-style targets identified through the recent Induced Polarization ("IP") survey. Management Commentary "Today marks an important milestone for Canadian Gold as we begin our maiden diamond drill program at Lac Arsenault," said Ron Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold Resources. "The team has worked extremely hard to advance the Project to this stage, and we are pleased to have drilling underway on the Baker Vein. The recent geophysical work has significantly expanded our understanding of the structural corridor, and we believe the upcoming drill program, particularly the new targets identified through IP, has the potential to meaningfully advance the Project. We look forward to providing updates as the assay results become available, likely in the first quarter of 2026."
