Signature adds historical data to Lingman Lake model

SIGNATURE ANNOUNCES UPDATED GEOLOGIC MODEL, COMPLETED DESIGN OF ITS 2024 DRILL PROGRAM AND PLANNED 2024 ACTIVITIES

Signature Resources Ltd.'s contractor Watts, Griffin, McOuat has completed updating of its geologic model by incorporating the historical drilling completed in the 1980s. This was an important step in its road map to defining the prospects of the Lingman Lake project and delivering on its objectives for 2024.

With the addition of the 1980s drilling to the geologic model, it has significantly extended the identified high-grade mineralization (greater than five grams per tonne) in the working geologic model. With the additional drilling data, WGM has identified zones of moderate-grade mineralization (greater than two g/t and less than five g/t), which was never a focus of past exploration efforts, despite being less than 200 metres from surface. This updated model provided the company with a more data-rich package in which to identify areas of interest and allowed it to design an efficient drill program to meet its goals to drive shareholder value.

"This work reaffirms Lingman Lake as an undervalued, near-surface, high-grade Canadian gold deposit with tremendous exploration potential. The recent completion of high-tension power and roads into the region is a game changer for this asset. Meanwhile, we continue to meet the objectives set by the board when we started down the path of resetting the company last November. If we continue to hit our goals, 2024 will be a catalyst-rich year, which should be rewarding for the company and its shareholders," said J. Dan Denbow, CFA, interim chief executive officer and director.

New targets identified by artificial intelligence modelling

While completing the updating of the model, through the use of artificial intelligence interpolation, several new targets emerged that were identified as highly prospective. All these targets will be tested by the 2024 program designed by WGM and reviewed and approved by Signature's exploration team. Interestingly, a number of these targets are reinforced by geophysics that were not available to the AI software during the first iteration. It is excited to be able to use these new modelling techniques to target areas within the property that can quickly expand the resource and more efficiently use its exploration funds.

2024 work program

Now that WGM has updated its geologic model and designed the 2024 drill program, Signature plans to conduct an extensive field program that will focus on: (1) mapping historical activity at the site; (2) structural mapping; and (3) locating proposed drill locations and reviewing any structural outcroppings that might better locate and design proposed drill holes. The drill program is designed to most efficiently use its exploration funds to enrich its understanding and knowledge of the Lingman Lake project. This drill program totalling 5,000 metres will include full hole core assaying for each hole, thereby providing total lithological gold distribution, giving it a much richer data package about the mineralization contained in the envelope around the mineralized zones. Prior drilling had not undertaken such extensive assaying of the core, and these data will be very beneficial to the planned resource estimate.

The spring exploration program will focus on compilation and detailed mapping of surface outcrops in the Lingman Lake deposit to better inform the planned drill program. It is anticipated that the drilling program should commence in early summer and will be executed in three 30-day programs with a two-week program by the geologic team to complete the data interpretation. Signature and its shareholders have made a significant investment in its exploration camp and drilling equipment which provides flexibility when exploring the property and scheduling drill programs. It can very efficiently conduct its drilling programs at a reduced cost.

Once the fieldwork, drilling and assay work are complete, the data can be turned over to the resource team, which should be able to begin the process of compiling and publishing an initial National Instrument 43-101 resource. Completing the drilling program and the publishing its initial resource will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital. If Signature is able to finance the programs in a timely manner, it is anticipated that the resource estimate could be completed early in calendar 2025.

About Signature Resources Ltd.

The Lingman Lake gold property consists of 1,300 staked claims, four freehold fully patented claims and 14 mineral rights patented claims totalling approximately 24,761 hectares. The property includes what has historically been referred to as the Lingman Lake gold mine, an underground substructure consisting of a 126.5-metre shaft, and three levels at 46-metre, 84-metre and 122-metre depths. There have been over 28,000 metres of historical drilling done on the property.
