CPL Copper Lake Resources Ltd

Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CPL, Frankfurt: W0I) ("Copper Lake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced its 2020 field work program to prepare for the upcoming drill program on the high-grade Billiton Main Zone at its Marshall Lake property, located 250 km northeast of Thunder Bay. 

The program will include detailed geological mapping and sampling in the area of the Billiton Main Zone in preparation for the drill program, which is expected to commence in September.  The team will also be performing field work on the newly staked claims that were added based on the results of the Spectral Analysis Survey recently conducted by Aster Funds Ltd.  These claims area adjacent to the property on the eastern and northern borders and include some new copper and zinc targets identified by Aster Funds Ltd as detailed in the news release of July 7, 2020 (http://copperlakeresources.com/news/). The follow-up field program is expected to be completed within two weeks.

The Billiton Main Zone has been the subject of significant historical drilling which has resulted in numerous high-grade intercepts (see Appendix A) which illustrate the high copper and zinc content, and particularly the very high silver content which included numerous intercepts over 300 g/t, including two intercepts over 420 g/t.  

Copper Lake CEO, Terry MacDonald said, “We are very excited to move forward with preparing for the drill program, as well as performing preliminary exploration on the new targets in the north and east areas of the property.  Almost all of the historic drill holes at Marshall Lake have been quite shallow, with very few holes over 150 metres in vertical depth.  We are planning to drill deeper to 500 metres where mineralization remains open in multiple directions and as yet untested.  We also plan to follow up on the MAR18-07 hole in the Billiton Main Zone which had an intercept of 1.0 metres assaying 3.20% Cu, 8.35% Zn, 367.0 g/t Ag and 8.01 g/t Au, at a depth of approximately 150 metres.”
