project is similar in geological environment to Iamgold’s Cote Lake
Deposit which reportedly hosts a 10 million ounce resource in the
Chester Intrusive Complex. I am particularly excited to explore the
upside potential of the Hercules project given its open structural
corridor for 3.6 kilometres, multiple gold zones and a strong
resource factor along with excellent gold metallurgy. I look
forward to working with Gold’n Futures’ current management and
delivering value to its shareholders,” Mr. Wilkinson commented on
his appointment.
Theo Van Der Linde Commented, “I am excited to
have Mr. Wilkinson on board. People build companies, and I am
confident his extensive mining and business experience will meet
and address the challenges ahead; necessary to realize the value of
Hercules!”

Company Update
The Company has commissioned a National
Instrument 43-101 report, which will summarize the historical work
performed on the Hercules property. Once the report is complete,
the Company will begin the compilation and tabling of the
historical data in preparation for constructing a current resource
block model. Structural and geological modelling of the gold zones
will be an integral component of this compilation to identify
domains of gold mineralization. The Company will also undertake a
program of core re-sampling as past sampling intervals were not
consistently extended to the shoulders of a sample or sample
intervals.
To date, the work completed on the property
forms an extensive database, including grab samples; channel
samples; a variety of geophysical surveys; and a drill hole
database that includes historical drilling of 497 holes totalling
106,931 metres. More than 2,000 grab and channel samples were
collected from the property. Significant Zones include the Golden
Mile, Wilkinson Lake, Lucky Strike, Marino and 7 of 9.
Given the advanced nature of the Hercules Gold
Project, the Company has decided to abandon its option on the early
exploration stage Cree Lake Project and focus its resources
exclusively on Hercules.
