MAS Gold Corp Initiates Preliminary Economic Assessment Study on Greywacke North and North Lake Projects

SASKATOON, SK, May 3, 2021 /CNW/ - MAS Gold Corp ("MAS Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report the commencement of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for its proposed integrated Greywacke and North Lake gold project operation in the La Ronge Gold Belt of Saskatchewan.

The PEA, planned for release in the third quarter of calendar 2021, will include updated Mineral Resource estimates, to NI 43-101 standards, for the Greywacke North and North Lake deposits.  The updates will incorporate the recently completed 2021 definition drilling results, which will be reported in due course.

"Subject to a positive PEA report, MAS Gold will begin working towards its main goals, the first being to commence underground development at Greywacke North and increasing the Mineral Resource definition in preparation for underground mining and processing by gravity separation," explains MAS Gold CEO Jim Engdahl.

"Future potential production from the Greywacke North deposit, and any surplus positive cashflow it may generate, could then help achieve the second goal of developing a hub and spoke model mining operation centred on the North Lake deposit, while maintaining a minimum share dilution to the company and its shareholders.  In the meantime, MAS Gold continues to advance towards an aggregate Mineral Resource base of 1,000,000 ounces gold."

The Company has engaged Stephen Godden, C.Eng., FIMMM, an independent mining consultant, to both direct and manage a team of independent corporate consultants and to complete the PEA Technical Report.  He has over 40 years of experience in the mining industry, covering medium- to large-scale open pit operations and many different underground mining methods at small, conventional/hand-got operations to large, multi-shaft mechanized mines.
