Enforcer Gold and SOQUEM Report Results from the Phase 2 Drilling Program at the Roger Gold-Copper Project, Quebec
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 7, 2019) - Enforcer Gold Corp. (TSXV: VEIN) (FSE: N071) ("Enforcer" or the "Company") and SOQUEM are pleased to report assay results of 23 holes of the Phase 2 diamond drilling program on the Mop-II gold-copper deposit. The Phase 2 drilling program comprised 34 holes totaling 7,643 m. The Roger project is located 5 km north of the town of Chibougamau, Quebec, has all-season road access and is crossed by an active power line that serviced the past-producing Troilus Mine. Enforcer is earning a 50% interest in the Roger project from SOQUEM, operator of the option.
Drilling highlights:
- 0.83 g/t AuEq over 33.5 m in drill hole 1206-18-102.
- 6.02 g/t AuEq over 4.5 m, including 16.30 g/t AuEq over 1.5 m in drill hole 1206-18-111.
- 6.94 g/t AuEq over 2.3 m in drill hole 1206-18-112.
- 7.41 g/t AuEq over 2.0 m including 18.07 g/t AuEq over 0.7 m.in drill hole 1206-18-114.
- 0.58 g/t AuEq over 26.3 m in drill hole 1206-18-115.
- 20.50 g/t AuEq over 1.5 m in drill hole 1206-118-117.
- 33.99 g/t AuEq over 0.8 m in drill hole 1206-18-124.
- 1.17 g/t AuEq over 12.5 m in drill hole 1206-18-125.
Enforcer Gold interim President and CEO, Stephen Dunn, comments:
"We are very pleased with these new results which illustrate a gold-copper high-grade component within lower grade intervals. These new holes will help fine tune the interpretation of the zones, particularly in the northern part of the Mop-II deposit. With an updated model in hand, we look forward to the next steps to further advance the Mop-II deposit and build on the current resource."
The Phase 2 drilling program aimed to increase the confidence in the inferred resource areas, mainly in the northern part and the south-western part of the deposit. Since the beginning of the option, Enforcer drilled 10,711 m across 44 holes and one extension of a hole from a previous campaign. Some of these holes twinned existing holes and others increased the understanding of the zones in under explored areas.
A drill hole location plan is available in the Roger Map Gallery.

Notes to Table 1:
All holes presented in Table 1 were completed by diamond (core) drilling. Widths represent down hole core lengths; true widths are unknown at this time. Gold equivalent grades (AuEq) were calculated using a US$1,240/oz gold price and US $3.00/lb copper price and do not account for metal recovery.
QAQC
The 2018 Phase 2 drilling program was managed by project operator, SOQUEM, utilizing standard industry procedures and protocols and following a formal quality assurance and quality control ("QAQC") program. Core samples were sent to SGS Canada's sample preparation facility in Val-d'Or, Quebec and sample analyses are ongoing at their analytical laboratory in Lakefield, Ontario, a CAN-P-1579, CAN-P-4E (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) accredited testing facility. Gold grades were determined using a standard fire assay with atomic absorption finish on a 50g pulverized fraction. Samples grading above 5 g/t are re-assayed using fire assay with gravimetric finish on a 50g fraction on the original pulps. Copper was assayed by ICP-OES following a multi-acid digestion. Original pulps from the samples grading above 10,000 ppm are re-assayed by ICP-OES after a 4-acid digestion ore grade analysis. SOQUEM routinely inserts blanks and standards in the sample sequence as part of its internal QAQC program.
