Enforcer Gold reports 7.0 % zinc and 1.2 g/t gold over 6 meters and provides resource estimate update at Roger project

Enforcer Gold Corp. (TSXV:VEIN) is pleased to report on the historical drill results of a second style of mineralization known to occur on the Roger project. Roger is advantageously located 5 km north of Chibougamau, Quebec, has all-season road access and is crossed by a power line that serviced the past-producing Troilus Mine. Enforcer is earning a 50% interest in the project from project operator, SOQUEM.

Although not the focus of the current exploration program, a horizon of semi-massive to massive sulphides associated with the ultramafic Roberge Sill was intersected in numerous holes by SOQUEM during previous exploration drilling. The mineralization shows very promising values for zinc, copper, silver and gold (Table 1).

Drill hole plan and section maps are available in the Roger Map Gallery.

President and CEO, Steve Roebuck, comments:

“This second style of mineralization points to the unique exploration potential of the Roger project. While we are currently focused on building the gold-copper resource on the MOP-II deposit, the massive sulphides and in particular the zinc-rich horizons in the highly prospective ultramafic Roberge Sill present a future high-priority target. This potential is highlighted both by SOQUEM’s results and by the work of MERN geologists at the Berrigan deposit located 1.8 km south of the MOP-II, where epithermal gold-zinc-silver vein mineralization is also hosted in the Roberge ultramafic unit. Additionally, the volcanics of the Bruneau Formation and the gabbro of the Bourbeau Sill, which are present but poorly explored on the Roger project, regionally host the Norbeau gold deposit located 8 km east of the project.”

Geology of the Mineralized Horizons

The semi-massive to massive-sulphide horizons are composed of pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite hosted within a pyroxenitic unit of the Roberge Sill lying south of the McAdam Fault. They are believed to be spatially-related to the McAdam Fault, which marks the break between the mineralized felsic porphyritic intrusive to the north and the volcanics of the Bruneau Formation to the south. The sill is part of the basal group of the Cummings Formation and was injected subparallel to the fault within the Bruneau volcanics. While the sulphide horizons have never been the focus of a dedicated exploration program, they have been intersected in several holes when drilling past the McAdam Fault, the marker horizon signaling the end of the Main Zone of the Mop-II deposit.

By contrast, mineralization within the Main and North zones is mainly gold-enriched with locally elevated copper and molybdenum and is hosted within the felsic porphyritic intrusive. This intrusive is injected at the contact between the volcanics of the Blondeau and the Bruneau Formations and measures 2.2 km along strike and up to 500 m wide. The gold-copper mineralization is associated with disseminated sulphides, mainly pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite, within quartz-sericite altered zones displaying varying degrees of brecciation.

Mineral Resource Estimate

Following the completion of the Enforcer-SOQUEM spring 2018 diamond drilling program, Geologica Groupe Conseil in partnership GeoPointCom, both consulting firms based in Val-D’Or, Québec, were mandated to update the historical 2006 resource estimate. The full dataset of results was made available in mid-June by SOQUEM following a verification of the results. The Company expects the updated resource estimate to be completed later this summer.
