Kestrel Gold - Operational and Corporate Update

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / January 4, 2021 / Kestrel Gold Inc. ("Kestrel" or the "Company") (TSXV:KGC) is pleased to provide an update of its recent operational and corporate activities including: the staking of claims adjacent to the recently acquired Sixtymile and Grabben properties; the completion of a revised corporate presentation and redevelopment of the Company's website and the progression of assay results from the 2020 reverse circulation drill program completed at the King Solomon Dome property.

Highlights

• At Sixtymile, 46 claims totalling approximately 940 hectares were staked to cover potential northeast strike extensions to one of the previously recognized low-sulphidation epithermal style alteration trends. Potential strike extensions coincide with the upstream terminus of the placer gold paystreak found within Little Gold Creek. The property now totals approximately 35 square kilometres covering the headwaters area of several placer gold bearing creeks within the Sixtymile Placer District.

• At Grabben, 47 claims totalling approximately 920 hectares were staked to connect the north and south blocks, with the combined property now totalling approximately 22.5 square kilometres. The geological setting at Grabben consists of a middle to late Cretaceous sedimentary sequence intruded and overlain by late Cretaceous intermediate to felsic intrusives and volcanics. This geological setting is similar to that which occurs at the Donlin Creek deposit in Alaska.

• The Company's website and corporate presentation have been updated and are now available at www.kestrelgold.com. Readers are encouraged to visit the website and review the available materials.

• Assay results for the 2020 reverse circulation drill program completed at the King Solomon Dome property remain pending. The Company anticipates receiving complete assay results by early February. Results will be released as soon as they have been received, compiled and interpreted.
