Black Hills Surface Program Reports High-Grade Gold

VANCOUVER - Badlands Resources Inc. reported on its field exploration program, identifying multiple high-grade gold trends at the Bella Project, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

The company identified five main high-grade gold trends with approximately 20 km of strike length at surface through mapping and sampling. Grab Samples Returned Assays up to 20 g/t Au. Out of the 420 grab samples collected, 60 samples returned over 5 g/t Au. Gold mineralization hosted in Banded-Iron Formation. Only 40% of the prospective mineralized unit has been prospected by the Company. The initial program has assisted in prioritizing the main targets for advanced exploration given that the mineralized unit has a surface expression of 50 km.

Dale Ginn, President and CEO, said, "The initial success of the 2023 Field Program gives confidence of the gold prospectivity in the Black Hills. Historically, the Company's focus was drilling deep extensions of the Standby Mine, but these samples reinforce the high-grade gold potential at surface. Badlands will continue to advance the near surface targets through exploration efforts of the team."
