Granada Gold Intersects 12.61 g/t Gold Over 16.5 Meters and 3.49 g/t Gold Over 30.5 Meters Within a Greater 1.33 g/t Gold Over 273.75 Meters Drill Hole From Surface
ROUYN NORANDA, QC, June 21, 2021 /CNW/ - Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (the "Company" or "Granada") is pleased to announce that the 200-series drill Hole GR-21-05, drilled at 330 meters west from the 100-series drill Hole GR-19-A, intersected significant gold mineralization grading 11.45 g/t gold over 33 meters (Press Release January 9th, 2020).
Highlights:
- Gold at 1.33 g/t over core length of 273.75 meters from 4.5 meters to 278.25 meters from surface
- Gold at 12.61 g/t over core length of 16.5 meters from 37.5 meters to 54.0 meters from surface
- Gold at 3.49 g/t over core length of 30.50 meters from 79.0 meters to 109.5 meters from surface
The 200- and 100-series drill holes are drilled down dip to maximize the intersection of native gold in the mineralized veins. The 43-101 reports indicates that 50 percent of the gold in the resource is in the massive, native, or visible form (SGS May 2012 Technical Report, effective date April 2, 2012).

Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., President and CEO commented that, "The 200- and 100-series drill holes better represent the grade of the mineralization in the veins by increasing the probability of intersecting massive native gold drilling down dip versus drilling perpendicularly which best defines the vein structure position."

About Granada Gold Mine Inc.
Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop the Granada Gold Property, including 2 fully permitted Mining Leases (BM-852 and BM-813), near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Approximately 140,000 meters of drilling has been completed to date on the property, focused mainly on the extended LONG Bars zone which trends 2 kilometers east-west over a potential 5.5 kilometers of mineralized structure. The highly prolific Cadillac Break, the source of more than 75 million plus ounces of gold production in the past century, cuts through the north part of the Granada property, but is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the company's property.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone contain, based on historical detailed mapping as well as from current and historical drilling, up to twenty-two mineralized structures trending east-west over five and a half kilometers. Three of these structures were mined historically from four shafts and three open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10 grams per tonne gold from two shafts down to 236 m and 498 m with open pit grades from 3.5 to 5 grams per tonne gold.
Updated Mineral Resource
The updated resource at the Company's Granada Gold project in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec was estimated by SGS Canada and outlined in a January 29, 2021 news release. The final report was filed March 15, 2021 with an Effective date of December 15, 2020. The 43-101 Technical Report is titled: Granada Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate Update, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada authored by Yann Camus, P.Eng. and Maxime Dupéré, B.Sc, géo. Both of SGS Canada Inc.

2. | Pit constrained mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.9 g/t Au within a conceptual pit shell |
3. | Underground mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au within reasonably mineable volumes |
The Company is in possession of all mining permits required to commence the initial mining phase, known as the "Rolling Start", which allows the company to mine up to 550 tonnes per day. Additional information is available at www.granadagoldmine.com.
