Canadian Gold Miner Grab Sample Returns 29.5 Grams per tonne Gold from South Kirkland Project

SUDBURY, ON, July 27, 2017 /CNW/ - Canadian Gold Miner Corp ("CGM", the Company) and Transition Metals Corp. (XTM – TSX.V, "Transition") are pleased to announce preliminary sampling results from CGM's South Kirkland project. The Lafond showing is one of 7 gold mineralized zones that the Company has identified in the southeastern portion of the South Kirkland project located 10 kilometres southeast of Larder Lake Ontario. Figure 1 depicts the location of the Lafond showing within an outline of CGM's south Kirkland project area.

Initial assay results from 62 grab samples collected from bedrock exposures in the vicinity of the Lafond showing have returned gold values ranging from <0.01 to 29.5 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) with a mean value of 2.2 g/t Au (see Table 1). Figure 2 presents a detailed map of the Lafond area that illustrates sample locations and values. Please note that grab samples are selective samples are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

Commenting on the results, CGM CEO Greg Collins, P.Geo said, "We are very encouraged by what we are seeing at Lafond so far. The results indicate an approximately 700 by 100 metre wide gold mineralized exposure around the known high grade vein occurrences located in the vicinity of the Lafond shaft. This highlights the potential for a larger and more widespread system of gold mineralization on the property. Work is progressing to expose more bedrock in preparation for channel sampling and diamond drilling."

About the Lafond Showing:

The Lafond showing is one of 7 occurrences within the South Kirkland project area selected for surface mapping and sampling work this summer. At Lafond, a pre-1928 shaft was sunk to a depth of 160 metres with approximately 460 metres of lateral development completed on 3 levels to test a series of high-grade quartz veins hosted in a large (approximately 100 m wide by a minimum 800 m long as exposed) alkaline to calc-alkaline intrusive complex. Historically, more than 13 major veins have been identified on the property with the No, 9, 10, and 11 veins located north of the shaft being the main focus of historic exploration. On surface, the No. 9 vein is 0.5 to 2 metres wide, the No.10 Vein up to 0.5 metres wide and the No. 11 Vein averages 2 metres wide at the west end and 0.5 metres near the east end. Historical assay records from  ten drill holes at Lafond reported intersecting values including 9.05 g/t Au over 1.68 metres, 7.54 g/t over 0.30 metres, and 2.07 g/t Au over 3.75 metres¹. Cited grades have been sourced from historical assessment reports that the Company have not been independently authenticated by the Qualified Person and as such should not be relied upon as being accurate by the reader.

South Kirkland Exploration Plans

Plans for the summer include mechanical trenching, detailed mapping, and channel sampling at the south Kirkland project.  The Company is completing the work ahead of a planned 1,500 to 3,500 metre diamond drilling program expected to commence following completion and review of data from the trenching work now in progress.
