TORONTO, May 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Signature Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SGU) (OTCQB:SGGTF) ("Signature" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that preliminary interpretation of the recently completed Terraquest airborne geophysical survey shows that the gold mineralized zones at Lingman Lake display correlation to both the magnetic and electromagnetic components of the survey. In April of 2017, the Company staked an additional 9,280 hectares along the greenstone belt. The results of the geophysical survey strengthens the original thesis, which led the Company to stake an additional 3,099.2 hectares as announced on April 30, 2018.
Jeremy S. Brett of MPH Consulting Limited states, “Magnetic and digital Matrix VLF-EM data were acquired using a 50 meter line-spacing and a ground clearance of 70-80 meters. The final airborne data was compared with historical drilling and mining data for the property. The airborne data was high-quality and very suitable for gold exploration. Known gold mineralization in East-West vein systems at the Lingman Gold Zone are clearly associated with strong VLF conductors in two of the VLF Channels used. Approximately 16 kilometers of Priority Target Horizons for gold mineralization have been identified, based on the Magnetic and Matrix VLF-EM data, using a model of VLF conductors coincident with the contacts of linear magnetic bodies within the known volcanic rocks. Further interpretation work is underway to determine the potential for structures away from the main target zones”.

“We are very excited by these results. The correlation of the Lingman Lake gold zones to Magnetic and VLF-EM components establishes a signature, which can now be applied across the entire Lingman Lake property. We already have 12 high priority targets identified in the 16 kilometer trend and the potential for identifying targets outside this trend is very high. Furthermore, the survey clearly demonstrates that the structures associated with gold mineralization within the immediate mine area at Lingman Lake extend beyond current known limits. The next step would be follow-up on these extension to isolate drill targets as well as ground evaluation of the 12 high priority targets. Clearly, the property has developed to a district exploration play which only bodes well for discovering new mineralized zones”, commented Walter Hanych, President and CEO of Signature Resources.

The scientific and technical content of this press release has been prepared, reviewed and approved by Jeremy S. Brett, P.Geo., Senior Geophysical Consultant with MPH Consulting Limited, an established international exploration and mining consulting company with its head office in Toronto, Ontario, and Walter Hanych P.Geo., President-CEO of Signature Resources.

About Signature
The Lingman Lake gold property consists of four free hold patented claims and 762 single cell staked claims, comprising 15,096.3 hectares. The property hosts an historic estimate of 234,684 oz of gold* (1,063,904 tonnes grading 6.86 g/t with 2.73 gpt cut-off) and includes what has historically been referred to as the Lingman Lake Gold Mine, an underground substructure consisting of a 126.5-meter shaft, and 3-levels at 46-meters, 84-meters and 122-meters depths.
*This historical resource estimate is based on prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous operators, and information provided by governmental authorities. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to verify the classification of the mineral resource estimates in accordance with current CIM categories. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate. Establishing a current mineral resource estimate on the Lingman Lake deposit will require further evaluation, which the Company and its consultants intend to complete in due course. Additional information regarding historical resource estimates is available in the technical report entitled, “Technical Report on the Lingman Lake Property” dated December 20, 2013, prepared by Walter Hanych, P.Geo., and Frank Racicot, P.Geo., available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com
