    VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – September 27, 2016) – Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NCX) (“Northisle” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the third verification hole (RD-16-03) on the Company’s Red Dog deposit extended the depth of the mineralized zone 30 metres beyond the south-eastern boundary of the historical resource defined by the adjacent historical drill hole.
    Highlights
    • Hole RD 16-03 intersected 0.28% copper and 0.48 gpt gold over a core length of 99.6 metres.

    Jack McClintock, P. Eng, President of Northisle commented: “Results received to date from the verification drill program clearly support our view that Red Dog will qualify for inclusion in the overall Hushamu project. We are also excited by the possibility that Red Dog may be larger than thought given that the mineralized zone intersected in the third hole extends beyond the depth level of the 1991 drill hole.”

    Drill-hole RD 16-03, drilled at -45 degrees to the south was collared two metres from and parallel to historical drill hole DDH 91-04 that was drilled by Moraga Resources Ltd. in 1991. The historical hole assayed 0.33% copper and 0.50gpt over 70.6 metres, a similar interval length to results in RD-16-03 from 1.2 to 72 metres. Unlike hole DDH 91-04, which was lost in a fault, this year’s drill hole successfully penetrated the fault and continued in strong mineralization for an additional 30 metres.
    Red Dog is located eight kilometres northwest of the Hushamu Deposit within Northisle’s 100% owned North Island Project on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Results for the remaining verification hole will be released when available.
    Analytical Techniques
    Analysis of core samples was carried out at BVL Minerals’ (formerly ACME Analytical) Vancouver facility. Gold analysis is by fire assay methods with atomic absorption finish. Analysis for copper and other metals is by a four acid digestion with ICP finish. Quality Assurance and Control (QA/QC) included insertion of standards and blanks in to the sample stream and duplicate samples on quartered core.
    The North Island Copper-Gold Project
    The Hushamu Resource
    The North Island Copper-Gold Project is situated approximately 15-40 kilometres southwest of Port Hardy and contains the Hushamu Deposit and five other partially explored copper-gold porphyry occurrences. The Company has a current resource estimate of the Hushamu Deposit which has been filed on Sedar. The project is 100% owned by Northisle.

    ** Copper equivalent calculated using US$2.50/lb Cu, US$1100/oz Au and US$14.00/lb Mo and is not adjusted for mining and metallurgical recoveries as these remain uncertain. The formula used is as follows: CuEQ = (Cu% x 22.0462 x 2.50) + (Au g/t x 1100.00/ 31.1035) + (Mo% x 22.0462 x 14.00). Rhenium values have not been used in the cutoff grade or Cu Equivalent calculations
    Red Dog Property
    The Red Dog Property is located 8km northwest of the Hushamu Deposit and hosts a historical mineral resource of 20 million tonnes grading 0.30% copper, 0.5gpt gold and 0.012% molybdenum. The reader is cautioned that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current resources and Northisle is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
