GRANDE PORTAGE RESOURCES LTD. STARTS DRILLING AT ITS HERBERT GOLD PROJECT, SE ALASKA

Drilling commenced yesterday at Grande Portage Resources Ltd.'s 100-per-cent-controlled Herbert gold project in southeast Alaska.

The company expects to drill approximately 15 to 20 holes from up to four different platforms which will test numerous separate primary veins and their satellitic structures. The coming drill program is a continuation of previous drilling which successfully tested multiple gold-quartz veins of the Herbert mesothermal vein system with very encouraging results. The drill program will target many geologically promising, high-value targets at the Main, Goat, Deep Trench, Ridge and Sleeping Giant veins from multiple locations and is expected to conclude by Nov. 1, 2023.

This news release has been prepared and approved by Carl Hale, CPG, a geologist with more than 40 years of experience and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
