BOREAL GOLD ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT FOR $150,000
Boreal Gold Inc. has arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $150,000. The private placement will consist of 500,000 flow-through shares at a price of 30 cents per flow-through share, representing total raised of $150,000.
The offering is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. All securities to be issued under the offering will be subject to a four-month statutory hold period in Canada.
The funds will be utilized for continuing work on the Fay Lake and Melgurd Lake properties, but mainly for the North Star gold properties.
Properties
The Fay Lake property consists of 17 contiguous claims comprising of 2,719 hectares and lies 25 kilometres northeast of Flin Flon, Man. It is contiguous to the south with Hudbay Minerals Vamp Lake Cu-Zn-Au (copper-zinc-gold) VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) property and also contiguous to the northeast, with the former Puffy Lake gold mine. Fay Lake contains approximately five kilomteres of mapped VMS horizons similar to Vamp Lake. Separately, west of the rail line, a nine-kilometre shear structure is presently known to contain similar mineralization as the Puffy Lake gold deposit, with samples assaying up to 14.33 grams per tonne (g/t) Au.
The Melgurd property, consisting of 11 mineral claims totalling 7,411 hectares, lies northwest of Flin Flon, Man., just north of the Shotts Lake copper-zinc VMS deposit in Saskatchewan. Boreal's airborne magnetic and EM (electromagnetic) survey shows both EM conductors and gradient magnetic trends of the Shott Lake horizon continuing north onto the Melgurd property in the area of a felsic volcanic package. Prospecting and mapping in the summer and fall of 2023 and 2024 have outlined an area of significant garnet and anthophyllite alteration; locally this alteration is associated with gossans.
The North Star group property, consisting of 2,922 hectares in 21 contiguous claims and two mining leases, is located 50 kilometres west of Snow Lake, Man. The property consist of three contiguous properties, which are: the North Star gold property; the Gold Rock mining lease and the Sewell Lake critical metals property, which is contiguous and within the same stratigraphy as HudBay Minerals Rail Zone copper deposit to the south and the former Dickstone copper zinc mine to the north.
Based on recent work on the Fay Lake (in Manitoba) and the Melgurd Lake (in Saskatchewan) properties, and the recently acquired North Star property (in Manitoba) (see April 17, 2025, news release), the plans going forward are as outlined below.
Planned exploration and drill targets
In 2024 to 2025, a rigorous exploration program of geological mapping and prospecting in conjunction with ground geophysics, and detailed airborne EM analysis, for the sole purpose of drill target development, was carried out on the Fay Lake property and the Melgurd Lake property. From this work, targets have been outlined for drilling. These targets will be tested by drilling subject to the required funds being raised in 2026. Further ground geophysics is planned for the western portion of the Fay Lake grid, not previously covered, prior to drilling.
Plans for North Star this fall are to prepare the grid with further geological verification to ready the project for drilling in 2026.
Use of proceeds
Planned programs
The bulk of the funds raised will be utilized for two purposes: to prepare the North Star grid for drill targets on the North Star vein system; and for completion of reports, assays, maps and geophysical surveys on the Fay Lake and Melgurd properties.
North Star
Line cutting and refurbishing old grids
The company plans to refurbish and recut the grid from south of the North Star deposit on line 46 N to line 59 N between baseline 46 E and tie line 59 E for both mapping and drilling purposes. This portion of the grid is almost 25 years old and overgrown to obliterated as it was cut a few years (12) after a forest fire.
Geological mapping, prospecting and sampling
The grids from lines 59 plus 50 N south to L 46 N will require geological remapping and detailed sampling to bring it up to the standard and detail of the northern grids that cover the Gold Rock and Richard veins, with special emphasis on the section in between the North Star and Gold Rock deposits.
Drilling (planned for 2026 and involving a follow-up financing)
The company plans selective infill drilling, as well as downplunge drilling, on the Gold Rock vein, with a view of completing a resource estimate and National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical report (never undertaken). Ultimately, the plan is to drill off enough tonnes that the combined resource of the North Star and Gold Rock vein structures, with sufficient grade, will warrant to bring it to a prefeasibility study. Even if successful on the first pass, this objective will require a few additional drill programs.
Fay Lake
Proceeds from this financing will be used to perform ground geophysical surveys over the western portion of the Redwin Lake grid and Fay Lake grid (not previously covered), as well as the northeastern portion of the Sunrise grid, to follow the strike extension of the Sunrise conductor to the eastern shore of Fay Lake. Drill testing of designed targets will follow up confirmation of airborne conductors by ground geophysics on the Fay Lake property, subject to a successful financing and direct consultation with Kiciwapa Cree Nation.
Proceeds will also be used for assays, maps and reports for this past summer's (2025) gold exploration program through mapping and prospecting of the western portion of the Puffy Lake mine style gold mineralization trend, east of the Railroad to evaluate its on strike continuity. Approximately 10 line kilometres were completed on this trend, where previous samples assayed up to 14.33 g/t Au. Proceeds will also be used for assays and evaluation of one of the Koscielny Lake gold prospects, sampled this fall, located at the eastern end of the property south of the Puffy Lake gold mine. Here, mineralization contained values of up to 11.81 g/t Au (0.38 ounce per ton (oz/ton) Au) over one metre (J. Pearson, Sept. 4, 2024, National Instrument 43-101 Fay Lake technical report).
Melgurd Lake
On the Melgurd Lake property, proceeds will be utilized for assays and preparation of maps and report from this summer's mapping of the Keep Lake grid.
