Grizzly to begin Greenwood exploration program

GRIZZLY PROVIDES EXPLORATION UPDATE AND FUTURE 2023 PLANS FOR ITS GREENWOOD, BC PRECIOUS AND BATTERY METALS PROJECT

Grizzly Discoveries Inc.'s crews have started to mobilize back to the Rock Creek camp to commence work within the Greenwood precious and battery metals project.

Geological and prospecting crews have mobilized to the Greenwood project to commence summer fieldwork. Prospecting, rock and soil sampling, geological mapping, and ground geophysical surveys are immediately planned for the Midway and Imperial areas in preparation for drilling later this year. The company is awaiting land use permits for conducting drilling and trenching at both projects, as well as a number of other areas, including Sappho and Copper Mountain.

The geological crew has collected and will be collecting a number of samples for assay. The samples will be submitted for assay and results will be reported when they become available.

The goal is to have a pipeline of high-priority Ag-Au (silver-gold) and battery metal targets that are all permitted and ready for a long 2023 drilling campaign in order to prioritize these assets into those that can deliver future mineral resources with additional drilling, eventually leading to some form of economic studies and scenarios that might be able to take advantage of local toll treating opportunities that exist in the Greenwood-Republic region.

Two thousand twenty-three exploration update for Greenwood:

  • Additional drilling is warranted in 2023 at both the Dayton and Motherlode North target areas in order to follow up the anomalous results of the 2022 drilling program. In addition, there are other targets at Motherlode North in the vicinity of the Motherlode pit, the Greyhound pit and the Great Hopes Crown grant that have yet be drill tested.
  • Drilling and trenching permit applications have been submitted for the 2023 season for the Midway, Sappho, Copper Mountain and Imperial targets.
  • Additional permit applications for drilling at the Crown Point and the Overlander-Mt Attwood areas are in preparation, and will be submitted in the near future.
  • The Midway area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and epithermal gold-silver. The Overlander area is being targeted for mesothermal to epithermal gold-silver.
  • At Midway, selective rock grab and composite rock grab samples from outcrop collected from the Midway mine-Picturestone area, with four of seven rock grab samples from outcropping mineralization in the Midway mine historical pit yielding a range of 12.05 grams per tonne (g/t) (0.351 ounce per ton (oz/ton)) Au up to 70.8 g/t (2.065 oz/ton) Au (see company news release dated Oct. 17, 2022).
  • Three of the seven selective rock grab samples from the Midway mine pits yielded from 1,360 g/t Ag (39.7 oz/ton Ag) up to 2,140 g/t Ag (62.4 oz/ton Ag) (see the company news release dated Oct.17, 2022).
  • All highly anomalous samples are from outcrop and characterized by the presence of abundant pyrite, arsenopyrite with visible galena and sphalerite in a siliceous chalcedonic host. The mineralization is hosted in polymetallic veins that display the presence of Pb, Zn, Cu, arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) and are likely epithermal in nature.
  • A selective rock grab sample from outcrop 200 m west of the main Midway mine yielded 15.85 g/t Au (0.462 oz/ton Au) and 1,530 g/t Ag (44.6 oz/ton Ag), illustrating that there is potential for additional high-grade mineralization in the area.
  • The Sappho area is being targeted for copper-gold-PGE (platinum group element) skarn- and porphyry-type targets associated with an alkalic intrusion and several diorite intrusions south of Greenwood near the United States border.
  • At least five new showings of copper oxide/sulphide mineralization were found during the 2022 program at the Sappho target.
  • Previous surface sampling and drilling by Grizzly at the Sappho area has yielded significant anomalous copper (Cu), gold and silver, along with platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd).
  • Numerous rock grab samples have yielded greater than 1 per cent copper, one g/t gold, one g/t platinum and one g/t palladium (see company news release dated Nov. 3, 2022).
  • Historical drilling (by the company) has yielded up to 0.31 per cent Cu, 0.75 g/t Au, 0.34 g/t Pt, 0.39 g/t Pd and 6.57 g/t Ag over 6.5 m core length in skarn at Sappho in 2010.

Quality assurance and control

Rock and soil samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (geochemistry division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (over 10 g/t Au). Rock grab and rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

The sampling program was undertaken by company personnel under the direction of Michael B. Dufresne, MSc, PGeol, PGeo. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples.

The technical content of this news release, and the company's technical disclosure, has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Dufresne, MSc, PGeol, PGeo, who is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Director resigns

V. Richard Rabbito has resigned from the company's board of directors. The 500,000 compensation stock options granted to Mr. Rabbito per the company's news release dated May 29, 2023, have been cancelled unexercised.
