Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 14, 2021) - Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KES) (OTC Pink: KSSRF) ("Kesselrun" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on its Huronian Gold Project.

The Company continues to receive further results from the 2021 drill program. The initial set of holes drilled on the Fisher Zone has been successful in extending the high-grade shoot to over 100 metres vertical depth as well as extending the overall strike length of the zone by over 150 metres.

Highlights

  • Fisher Zone high-grade shoot extended to over 100 metres vertical depth
    • 21HUR037 intercepted 99.0 g/t Au over 0.5 m within a 3.5 m wide zone which assayed 15.6 g/t Au; 21HUR044 intercepted 1.1 g/t Au over 16.1 m

Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company, commented, "The results from the main high-grade shoot at Fisher continue to impress. Now that we have traced the zone down to just over 100 metres vertical depth we are well prepared to begin aggressively extending it to greater depths in upcoming drilling."

The 2021 Huronian drill program is budgeted at 20,000 metres targeting the Fisher, Fisher North, McKellar and Huronian zones, all in close proximity along an approximate 1500 m strike length in the area of the historic Huronian Mine. The area also has tremendous potential for discovery of new zones in light of the new revised mineralization model.

About the Huronian Gold Project

The 100% owned Huronian Gold Project hosts the past producing Huronian Mine, Northwestern Ontario's first gold mine with an historic resource estimate of 44,592 oz Au at an average grade of 15.3 g/t Au in the indicated category and 501,377 oz Au at an average grade of 14.4 g/t Au in the inferred category. The resource estimate presented for the Huronian Project is historic in nature. Kesselrun Resources' qualified person has not completed sufficient work to confirm the results of the historical resource. Kesselrun Resources is not treating this as a current mineral resource but is considering it relevant as a guide to future exploration and is included for reference purposes only. The historic resource was estimated by Minescape Exploration Inc. in 1998. Further drilling will be required by Kesselrun Resources to verify the historic estimate as current mineral resources.

As well, the Huronian Gold Project hosts the same lithological package of rocks, as interpreted from both Government of Ontario and Kesselrun Resources mapping, compilation and modelling, on strike from Wesdome Gold's adjacent Moss Lake Gold Deposit with a resource estimate of 1,377,300 oz Au at an average grade of 1.1 g/t Au in the indicated category and 1,751,600 oz Au at an average grade of 1.1 g/t Au in the inferred category as outlined in their 2013 PEA2. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicitave of mineralization hosted on Kesselrun Resources' property.

On January 26, 2021 Wesdome announced that the Moss Lake Project would be purchased by Goldshore Resources Inc. (see Wesdome and Goldshore news releases dated January 26, 2021).
