TORONTO, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Treasury Metals
Inc. (TSX: TML) ("Treasury" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce the first assay results from its expansion drilling in
the Eastern Main Zone and additional assays from the Infill
drilling in the Main Zone at the Goliath Gold Project located in
northwestern Ontario.
Highlights include:
- TL20-524 intersected 3.4 g/t over 20.8 m including 9.1 g/t Au over 4.0 m in the Main Zone Infill program.
TL20-524 exhibits anticipated results of an extended mineralized
zone with high-grade assays.
- Expansion drill hole TL20-517 intersected 4.6 g/t Au over
4.4 m in the Main Zone and
10.6 g/t Au over 1.0 m in a
hanging wall zone
- Expansion drill hole TL20-512 intersected 3.0 g/t Au over
7.0 m including 5.4 g/t Au over
3.4 m
"We are encouraged with these new Main Zone results that further
demonstrate the consistency of mineralization across the high-grade
shoots in the deposit. This complements the program's success in
the developing C Zone East area spanning 200 metres along strike by
150 metres down-dip where drilling is now consistently hitting
mineralization in both zones (Main and C Zone) along strike. These
drill results along with the Federal Minister's approval of the EA
in August positions us well in an improving gold market," stated
Greg Ferron, CEO.
Eastern Main Zone Expansion Drilling:
Treasury is pleased to announce the first results of its
expansion drill program of the high-grade shoots within the Main
Zone. These holes were designed to drill test select targets
down-dip, along strike and directly adjacent to the existing
high-grade shoots as well as areas identified by recent underground
mine scheduling modelling work. These targets have the potential to
add ounces adjacent or below the currently defined resources (see
image for additional details).
TL20-517, which was targeted to expand the lower eastern portion
of the Eastern high-grade shoot within the Main Zone, intersected
4.6 g/t Au over 4.4 m with an
additional hanging wall zone that found 10.6 g/t Au over
1.0 m.
TL20-512, located 100 metres up-dip of TL20-517, intersected
3.0 g/t Au over 7.0 m including
5.4 g/t Au over 3.4 m directly
adjacent to the East high-grade shoot. Additionally, TL20-514
found a wide, low grade intersection of 0.6 g/t over
17.7 m within the Main
Zone and 8.9 g/t Au over 1.3
m in a hanging wall zone. The results of these holes
have shown good continuity of the mining zones.
Infill Program:
A portion of the program has been focused on upgrading specific
areas of the Main Zone shoots to the "Measured" classification for
inclusion as potential estimate ounces for the initial mine life
years and for grade control purposes. Each of the reported
holes have shown very good continuity of the mineralized areas with
high grade.
TL20-524 intersected 3.4 g/t over 20.8 m including 9.1 g/t Au over 4.0 m in the Main Zone Infill program
and is located 30 metres down dip of previously reported TL19-507
which intersected 2.37 g/t Au over 19.0
m including 6.2 g/t Au over 4.0
m (see press release January 13,
2020). TL20-524 exhibits anticipated results of an extended
mineralized zone with significant high-grade assays. This
hole shows strong encouragement of the grade across the main area
of the potentially mineable resource and adds to the confidence of
mining zones for early years in the proposed production
schedule.

About Treasury Metals Inc.
Treasury Metals Inc. is a gold focused exploration and
development company with assets in Canada and is listed on the Toronto Stock
Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "TML" and on the OTCQX® Best
Market under the symbol "TSRMF".
QA/QC Program:
The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality
control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all
exploration work is conducted in accordance with the CIM
Exploration Best Practices Guidelines. The drill core is sawn in
half with one-half of the core sample dispatched to Actlabs
facility located in Dryden,
Ontario. The other half of the core is retained for future
assay verification and/or metallurgical testing. Other QA/QC
procedures include the insertion of blanks and Canadian Reference
Standards for every tenth sample in the sample stream. A quarter
core duplicate is assayed every 20th sample. The
laboratory has its own QA/QC protocols running standards and blanks
with duplicate samples in each batch stream. Additional
checks are routinely run on anomalous values including gravimetric
analysis and pulp metallic screen fire assays. Gold analysis is
conducted by lead collection, fire assay with atomic absorption
and/or gravimetric finish on a 50 gram sample. Check assays are
conducted at a secondary ISO certified laboratory (in this case
AGAT Laboratories located in Mississauga,
Ontario). Metallic screen fire assaying is now
completed using a 1.0 kg sample and four 50 gm fire assays of the
pass (-100 mesh) pulverized material.
