TORONTO, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Treasury
Metals Inc. (TSX: TML) ("Treasury" or the "Company") is pleased
to provide a Goliath Gold Project technical program update,
including the most recent drill hole results in the Project's
winter/spring drilling program.
Following the most recent exploration updates (press releases
dated April 6, March 10, March 5
and January 13, 2020), the Company
has completed approximately 10,000 metres of the 15,000 metre
program, with plans to continue in summer. Results include:
- Targeting the Eastern Shoot of the Main Zone, hole TL20-527
found two significant intervals:
-
- 7.0m at 7.0 g/t Au including
1.0m at 40.6 g/t Au and
- 10.0m at 2.9 g/t Au including
1.0m at 10.4 g/t Au.
- These intersections occur approximately 20 metres down-dip of
hole TL20-510 which (see press release dated January 13, 2020) assays returned 5.0m at 11.9 g/t Au including 1.0m at 49.6 g/t Au based on the newly
obtained metallic screen fire.
- The C-Zone East target hole TL20-519 also found a significant
intersection of 8.6 m at 1.3
g/t Au including 1.0 m at 7.1
g/t Au.
"The exploration program has covered a lot of ground including
the expansion of the C Zone East area along strike now
spanning 200 metres by 150 metres down-dip where drilling is now
consistently hitting both zones (Main and C Zone). The Main Zone
infill results demonstrate the consistency of mineralization across
the high-grade shoots in the deposit. Additionally, the new gold
intercepts from the Main Zone east area are very encouraging
in an area previously thought to be unmineralized. These drill
results along with the Federal Minister's EA approval of Goliath,
located in Ontario, Canada with
excellent infrastructure, positions us very well in today's strong
gold market," stated Greg Ferron,
CEO and Director.
Treasury is currently analyzing the results of the full program
in order to optimize the completion of the remaining 5,000 metres
of the 15,000 metre program. The completion of the currently
released holes aligns as planned with the spring season and the
shutdown of the drills for climatic conditions until the summer
exploration program begins. This will ensure any additional
follow-up targets are included in the program to supplement the
drill targets along the full 10 kilometres of additional strike
length that are proposed for the remainder of the program.
Additionally, work is underway to incorporate the results into the
geological model for future completion of an updated resource
estimate. This work will include updated wireframes for both the
Main Zone and C Zone to the east of main resource area with the
objective of adding ounces to both Indicated and Inferred
categories.
The infill holes of this program show beneficial continuity of
the Main Zone in areas of proposed mining and also strengthen the
confidence for the proposed mining areas. With another hole
targeting the C Zone showing significant intersections of
mineralization, the confidence in the eastern C Zone continues to
increase and will lead to new drilling and potential resource
growth for future mine planning.

For duplicate samples, an average of the two gold assays are
used to calculate the intersection grade; all grades un-cut,
no-capping.
Holes are generally drilled 350-0° Azimuth with inclinations
ranging -65 to -80°.
All assays are rounded to two decimal places.
Intervals do not indicate true widths.

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.
