Drill Rig and Equipment Arrive At Staging Area In Juneau

VANCOUVER - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. reported that its drill contractor, NASCO Industrial Services and Supply, (NISS) has confirmed that its drill rig and necessary equipment and supplies have arrived at the staging area in Juneau, Alaska. NISS has been engaged to drill up to 25,000 feet of diamond drill core on the Company's Herbert gold project. The drill program will target many geologically promising high value targets at the Main, Goat, Deep Trench, Ridge, and Sleeping Giant veins from multiple locations. The upcoming drill program is fully permitted and fully funded.

In addition, the Company confirms that Cox Environmental Services, a Juneau based environmental water quality consultant, has been engaged to continue the Company's dedicated program of gathering baseline water sampling adding to its expanding database. Previous tests results from 2020, 2021, and 2022 confirm that there are no tendencies to produce acid rock drainage due to the high inherent carbonate content and the low sulfide content of the host rock and altered wallrock.

Ian Klassen, President, said, "We are ready to recommence field activities with our experienced and dedicated team of professionals. The Company is well financed and has a comprehensive drill plan for 2023."
