Drilling Campaign Confirms 400 m Strike On The Joutel Eagle South Gold Zone

TORONTO - Orford Mining Corporation has completed the winter drill program on the Joutel Eagle Property located along the fertile Casa-Berardi Structural Zone and historical Eagle-Telbel Mine Trend in the Abitibi Greenstone belt. A total of 14 holes and 2,535 meters have been drilled, including an additional 500 meters in 3 holes since reporting of the positive preliminary results from drill hole 23-JE-004 which returned grades of up to 28.7 g/t gold over 0.32 meters included in an interval of 4.1 g/t gold over 14.6 meters. These previously reported results are from samples that were sent for rush analysis.  All other remaining assays are pending. Note that all drilling intervals are down-hole lengths. True thicknesses cannot be estimated with available information.

David Christie, President and CEO, said, "The 2023 drill campaign on our Joutel Eagle property has successfully confirmed the 400 meter strike of the South Gold zone.  The program has also returned the best grade results to date on the zone in a cross-cutting structure which could be a game changer for the project's economics.  We eagerly await assay results for the completed drilling and the detailed structural interpretation that will follow."
