TORONTO, May 23, 2017 /CNW/ - Enforcer Gold Corp ("Enforcer" or the "Company") (TSX-V: VEIN - FSE: N071) together with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX:GMX) (FRANKFURT:G1M) (STUTTGART:G1M) (BERLIN:G1M) (MUNICH:G1M) (XETRA:G1M) (OTCQX:GLBXF) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its comprehensive field exploration program at the Montalembert gold project, that will include the first ever large-diameter core drilling campaign to be conducted on the high-grade Galena and No. 2 veins. The exploration program is expected to run uninterrupted through the late fall of 2017.

The field exploration program follows on the heels of a high-resolution aeromagnetic VLF-EM survey flown in March over the entire 7300-hectare property, which will assist Enforcer's team in delineating structural features of folding, shearing and faulting. As elsewhere in the Abitibi greenstone belt, these features are believed to be key controls to gold mineralization on the Montalembert property.

The comprehensive field program will include:

• increasing the exposure of the Galena and No.2 veins along their north and south strike directions
• additional channel sampling along the vein extensions
• ground IP surveys around known vein occurrences
• property-wide prospecting and geochemical sampling
• ground truthing of airborne anomalies
• a targeted 5,000 - 8,000 metres of drilling using a diamond drill rig, expected to commence in mid to late June
• a targeted 1,000 metres of drilling using a reverse circulation rig
• drilling will initially test 4 high-priority targets based on the Company's review of historical data

President and CEO, Steve Roebuck comments:

"The Enforcer team has been working diligently in finalizing preparations for our first comprehensive field program at Montalembert, and we are very keen to get started. This is the first time that modern, large-diameter core drilling will be used to test below the high-grade mineralized vein structures exposed on the property. The style of these vein systems is shear-hosted quartz-carbonate gold mineralization, which is the most significant source of gold in the Abitibi greenstone belt."
