TomaGold reports positive results from the geophysical survey on its Monster Lake East property

The survey identifies 14 high priority drill targets for gold and copper

MONTREAL, July 16, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT) ("TomaGold" or the "Corporation") is pleased to report that it has received positive results from the induced polarization geophysical survey ("IP survey") on its Monster Lake East property, which lies next to the Monster Lake joint venture project (currently held by IAMGOLD Corporation (50%), TomaGold (45%) and Quinto Resources Inc. (5% of the Monster Lake claims block)), 50 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau (Québec), Canada.

Through Abitibi Geophysics, TomaGold conducted a detailed IP survey to a depth of 300 metres to explore a large copper geochemical anomaly identified by a government survey. The anomaly was traced over a distance of several kilometres striking approximately 330° to the northwest of Lac Trois-Iles. The report submitted by Abitibi Geophysics recommends drilling 14 high priority gold and copper targets to depths of 100 to 350 metres.

"This is a major development for the Monster Lake East property, which shows interesting gold and copper potential near the Monster Lake project," said David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold. "The next phase of work on Monster Lake East will consist of drilling on the high priority targets."
