2024 Soil Sampling Programme
Identifies New Gold Anomalies at
the Junior Lake
property
London, United Kingdom - 12 February 2025 - Landore Resources
Limited (AIM: LND) ("Landore Resources" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the results of its 2024 soil
sampling programme carried out along strike to the east of its
flagship BAM Gold Project ("BAM Gold"), on the Junior Lake
property, Ontario, Canada.
During the Autumn of 2024, a soil
sampling programme was conducted on the group's Junior Lake
property, collecting 255 soil samples (inclusive of QAQC samples)
for a further 2.8 kilometres eastwards from previous soil sampling
programmes into the highly prospective Toronto Lake gold area. The
programme covered a total area of approximately 3 km² along 200
metre spaced lines and has identified a number of gold anomalies
representing targets for future exploration activities, including
drilling. The latest programme, together with the findings of
previous soil sampling conducted between 2019 and 2023 (see soil
sampling reports dated 30 November 2019, 11 January 2020, 31 March
2023 and 30 January 2024), has demonstrated excellent gold
potential along strike east and west of the BAM Gold deposit along,
and adjacent to, the Junior Lake shear zone, which transects the
property for 30+ kilometres.
Highlights:
·
Soil sampling confirms the presence of anomalous
gold along strike to the east from the existing BAM Gold Project in
the underexplored Toronto Lake gold area - potentially representing
a significant extension to the deposit or a complementary gold
system.
·
20.8 kilometres along the Junior Lake shear zone
from the Placer Dome Gold prospect in the west to the BAM Gold
deposit and east into the Toronto Lake area has now been covered by
extensive soil sampling.
·
Results from the recently completed BAM Gold
structural assessment by an independent consultancy firm, TECT
Geological Consultancy, and infill sampling of historic drill core
is expected to be reported in Q1 2025, which will serve to enhance
the BAM Gold deposit's existing geological model and maximise our
understanding of the orebody architecture.
·
A 3,500-metre drilling programme is scheduled to
commence on the BAM Gold deposit in early March 2025 and will focus
on providing greater clarity on the structure of the orebody,
increasing the overall confidence in the grade, size and continuity
of the resource, as well as testing the considerable down-dip
potential of BAM Gold.
2024 SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAMME, JUNIOR LAKE
PROPERTY
Landore Resources' geological team
completed a soil sampling campaign during the Autumn of 2024 within
the Toronto Lake area of the Junior Lake Property along strike
eastwards from the existing BAM Gold Project, thereby expanding on
the successful 2019 to 2023 soil sampling campaigns and confirming
the presence of widespread anomalous gold and multiple gold trends.
Soil sampling results from the Toronto Lake area have indicated
gold anomalies which, with further planned infill soil sampling,
could represent an eastern extension of the BAM Gold trend
itself.
A full report on the 2024 soil
sampling programme has been prepared by the Company entitled
'Soil Sampling of the Junior Lake
property - 2024 Update' dated 17 January 2025 (the "2024
Report"), which can be viewed on Landore Resource's website
at: www.landore.com
and contains maps and charts of the zone
assessed.
Commenting on this report, Landore Resources' CEO, Alexander
Shaw, said: "I am very encouraged by the progress we are
making at our flagship BAM Gold Project in Ontario, with these
latest soil sampling results confirming the presence of anomalous
gold along strike - thereby confirming our belief that the gold
system, which hosts BAM extends far beyond the currently-defined
deposit area, representing significant expansion
potential.
"This confirms what I have always believed -
namely that we are only just getting started at BAM Gold and that
the potential of what is our 'jewel in the crown' at Junior Lake is
considerable. There is also significant potential for higher grades
at BAM Gold, which could add high-grade ounces to an updated MRE,
which we are targeting for completion in mid 2025. We look forward
to providing further technical results in the months
ahead."

Key
Extracts from the Summary Section of the 2024 Report are as
follows:
"In 2024 an explorative soil sampling program (255 samples,
inclusive of QAQC samples) was conducted on the Junior Lake
property. The program extended 2.8 kilometers to the east of
previous sampling programs and covered an additional 3km2,
extending into the highly prospective Toronto Lake region (see soil
reports dated 30 November 2019, 11 January 2020, 31 March 2023, and
30 January 2024).
The 2024 soil sampling program consisted of a series of ~200m
spaced lines and identified numerous anomalies warranting
additional follow up work. Two new locations with highly anomalous
gold values were identified. The two new anomalous locations are
south of the Junior Lake shear zone and represent exciting targets
in an underexplored area. The largest area is adjacent to Toronto
Lake, currently covers approximately 0.6km2 and is open to both the
east and south. The second area is approximately 1km west of
Toronto Lake and is currently approximately 0.1km2 in area. In
addition, several discrete anomalies were identified within the
survey in the Junior Lake shear zone. Further infill soil sampling
is required to refine the main BAM Au and other regional
trends."
"The 2024 soil program has extended to the east of the
previous sampling programs, identifying new targets along the
20.8-kilometre-long surveyed area of the Junior Lake property. The
multi-year soil sampling programs have identified four priorities
across the project area, all of which should be followed up with
additional work:
1. A gold
trend has been identified extending 2.2 kilometer east of the BAM
Gold deposit with additional anomalies occurring for 3.3
kilometers, the extent of the sampling programs. Limited work has
been conducted along this trend and has identified mineralization,
leaving 4.5 kilometers of ground for follow up
work;
2. A 1.5
kilometer gap occurs between the anomaly trends of the Grassy
Pond/Felix Lake Grid and Lamaune Gold Grid. Follow up work is
required, infilling the gap in coverage and linking the
trends;
3. Anomalous
soil samples and trends are associated with the historic Placer
Gold work near North Lamaune Lake and the Lamaune Gold prospect.
Past work has identified anomalous to significant gold values in
proximity to the trends, although much of the region remains
untested;
4. The 4 km
strike length of anomalous gold trends within the Felix Lake/Grassy
Pond region, south of the main BAM Gold
trend."
Operational Update
The Company intends to proceed with
a 3,500-metre drilling campaign at the BAM Gold Project in early
March 2025, designed to provide greater clarity on the structure of
the ore body, prove the validity of the block model and increase
overall confidence in the grade size and continuity of the
resource, as well as testing the considerable down-dip potential of
BAM Gold.
The results from such drilling will
be used to update the existing BAM Gold Mineral Resource Estimate
("MRE"), which will in turn support the Company's plans to proceed
with a pre-feasibility study expected to commence in late
2025.
Junior Lake Property
The Junior Lake Property, 100% owned
by Landore Resources, together with the contiguous Lamaune Iron
property (90.2% owned) (jointly the "Junior Lake Property"),
consisting of 22,037 hectares, is located in the province of
Ontario, Canada, approximately 235 kilometres north-northeast of
Thunder Bay and is host to: the BAM Gold Deposit; the B4-7
Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-Platinum-Palladium Deposit; the VW
Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Deposit; the Lamaune Gold Prospect and
