A total of 16 RAB drill holes are planned for the Dorset Project. RAB drilling will continue to test and expand on the Sharpie Ridge gold occurrence with seven RAB holes where in late 2022 drilling returned 2.32 g/t Au over 10.67 m and 10.2 g/t Au over 1.52m . An additional two RAB holes will be completed at Copper Creek target where in 2022 drilling returned 0.58% % Cu over 9.12m, which includes 1.095% Cu over 1.52m .
Two RAB holes will be completed at the Dorset Gunshot/Braz occurrence where in 2022 drilling returned 3.18 g/t Au over 4.57 m . An additional seven RAB holes will target the Dorset Trend where a large 1 x 2 km gold-in-soil anomaly was outlined by 2022 soil sampling efforts (Figure 2). The extensive gold-in-soil anomaly is “one of the most clustered and anomalous” he has seen, says Leocor’s Technical Advisor, Shawn Ryan.

Leocor Gold
Overview
Gold is once again drawing the attention of investors as prices continue to rise, recently surging above US$2,000. Many investors are looking beyond commodity trading and placing their bets on gold mining companies to further capitalize on this upward trend. This has shifted the focus to proven gold mining jurisdictions, such as Nevada’s booming gold mining industry. Yet, while Nevada is well known for gold — there’s new jurisdiction that’s quickly gaining traction — one that is severely underexplored: Newfoundland and Labrador.
Mining companies are flocking to the region hoping to find the next big deposit. Over 80,000 claims were staked in Newfoundland between January 2021 and July 2021. The presence of gold in Newfoundland has been known since the 1980s, but due to the price of gold at the time, companies walked away from promising exploration results. Now, improved exploration technology and a soaring gold price is making the mining world take a second look at Newfoundland, and it likes what it sees. Billionaire Eric Sprott recently invested in multiple junior gold mining companies, including four exploration companies in Newfoundland, attracting even more attention to the province.
Discoveries made by legendary prospector Shawn Ryan are partially responsible for the renewed interest in Newfoundland. Ryan is directly responsible for the discovery of millions of ounces of gold in the Yukon, where he worked for decades. But now Newfoundland has caught his attention after his signature soil-sample technique yielded promising results. Coupled with intriguing discoveries made by other mining companies, Newfoundland is experiencing a historic gold rush. Even though Ryan found success in the Yukon, he recently said, "If I was 25 years younger and I found Newfoundland first instead of the Yukon, I’d be in Newfoundland.”
Leocor Gold (CSE:LECR, OTC:LECRF, FRA:LGO) is a junior exploration and development company focused on undervalued and underexplored gold projects throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The company believes in the upside potential of the undiscovered or underdeveloped gold mineralizations within its three district-scale holdings spread throughout the region. On top of acquiring promising assets, the company is led by a strong management team with extensive experience in the mining industry, including the renowned prospector, Shawn Ryan.
The company’s district-scale portfolio covers 153,000 hectares of potential gold claims in three notable, yet separate, mining districts: The Western Exploit District, Baie Verte District, and the Gander District. Historic exploration data has already confirmed multiple high-grade gold mineralizations, while Ryan’s exploration data suggest new discoveries in entirely unexplored territory.
Alex Klenman, CEO, explained why the company is so optimistic about its holdings during an interview with INN, “Very few places on the planet, where you're going to find such an underexplored geologically favorable theater to work in. And we get that in Newfoundland."
Leocor Gold’s flagship project is within the Baie Verte District. Known as the Dorset Project, this asset contains two notable mineralized quartz veins, which are often indicative of gold deposits. Dorset encompasses 600-hectares with known occurrences of gold mineralizations, including extensive surface showings. Additionally, other projects within the district have promising historic results alongside new encouraging exploration data.
In 2022, Leocor Gold entered into an option agreement to purchase the Joes Lake Property consisting of a 300-hectare exploration-stage parcel also located in Newfoundland.
The company is led by an experienced management team with decades of experience in the mining industry. Shawn Ryan is leading the exploration charge as a technical advisor, while CEO Alex Klenman brings 30 years of experience in business development, finance, marketing and corporate communications. Heidi Gutte, CFO, brings her expertise in corporate financing, taxation and overall accounting experience to the company. Alexander Stares and Newman Wayne Reid, directors, both have decades of experience in exploration and mining to add additional expertise to the team.
Company Highlights
- Leocor Gold is focused on cultivating its impressive asset portfolio of unexplored and underdeveloped gold projects within Newfoundland and Labrador
- The company’s asset portfolio covers a combined 144,000 hectares of prospective gold claims covering three notable mining districts: Baie Verte District, the Western Exploit District and the Gander District. Each district contains multiple individual projects with exciting new and historic exploration data
- The Dorset Project, located within Baie Verte, is the company’s flagship project due to the confirmed presence of quartz mineralization veins and abundant surface showings
- Leocor Gold has an option agreement to purchase the Joes Lake Property consisting of a 300-hectare exploration-stage parcel also located in Newfoundland.
- Acclaimed prospector Shawn Ryan leads the exploration team, and his track record of uncovering mineralizations resulting in millions of ounces of gold strengthens confidence in the company’s future
- In addition to Ryan, the rest of the management team brings decades of experience in their respective fields, including corporate management, financing and mining exploration

Startrek
The Startrek Property contains 50+ gold occurrences through previous trenching and grab samples. Several areas of epithermal gold mineralization have been identified on surface from 2022 rock sampling and historical data. The proposed 2023 field season will focus largely on the Stallion Trend where 2022 grab samples by Leocor reported values up to 40 g/t Au with coincident arsenic and antimony in quartz stockwork veining. Integrating results from ground geophysics, and detailed soil sampling will provide viable data to potentially conduct 22 RAB holes designed to test geophysical contacts and conductive bodies at depth that relate to mineralization on surface. A total of 345 line km of an UAV magnetic survey is also proposed over the South Benton and Startrek SW areas during the 2023 field season. (Figure 4).

| |||||||||
Leocor Gold Inc. (the " Company " or " Leocor ") (CSE:LECR ) ( OTC:LECRF) is pleased to provide an exploration update for its over 150,000-hectare combined gold projects located in Newfoundland, Canada. The following summaries encompass exploration work to date at each of the Company's five prospective gold projects. Work programs for the 2023 field season are being finalized presently and will be announced in the coming weeks
Dorset (Baie Verte)
34 rock samples taken.
442 soil samples
18 RAB drill holes – 1023 meters – 681 samples
RAB drilling results received in late summer 2022 with 10.2 g/t Au gold intercept on a new drill target (Sharpie Ridge), and Over 1% Cu intercept on Copper Creek target (see Company news release dated December 7, 2022) warrant further drilling plans on Dorset. RAB or diamond drilling will be used to test the extents of mineralization on these higher-grade targets. Drilling on other targets along the "Dorset Trend" Au soil anomaly will focus on geophysical bodies identified at depth which are thought relate to structure and mineralization at surface.

Leamington
102 rock samples taken on target areas formulated from 2021 soils and airborne geophysics.
6,662 soils taken.
Prospecting identified a low-grade gold and copper target that needs to be further assessed on desktop for historical data, and in the field by a team of geologists. The scope is to identify zones of higher-grade Au + Cu near that target since there are large structures and favorable geology present. Northern areas of Leamington remain relatively unexplored due to access, and the central part of the project was unexplorable for part of last season due to fires. These areas will be scouted and explored along geological and geophysical contacts that have anomalous soil. South Leamington may warrant trenching or bedrock interface drilling where the till is deeper.
Robert's Arm
161 rock samples taken on target areas determined from soil and airborne geophysical survey.
3,712 soil samples
Further follow up on soil anomalies, geophysical contacts, and geological contacts is needed on Robert's Arm. The prospecting covered a large area of road accessible targets identified from 2021 soil sampling and airborne geophysical surveys. The comprehensive 2022 soil sampling program has generated additional targets for exploration efforts in 2023.
Hodges Hill
60 rock samples taken on target areas determined from soil and airborne geophysical survey.
3,838 soils taken.
Further follow up on soil anomalies and geophysical contacts is needed on Hodges Hill. Hand/mechanical trenching, or bedrock interface drilling may be necessary to further explore through the till layers on this project. The 2022 soil sampling program has generated new target areas for 2023 exploration efforts.

Startrek
1319 soils taken.
56 rock samples taken in areas of interest.
12 line-km of ground Mag-VLF (geophysical survey)
Several areas of low-grade epithermal gold have been identified on surface from 2022 rock sampling and historical data. This paired with results from ground geophysics, and detailed soil sampling will provide viable data to conduct a short hole RAB drill hole program. The drill program is designed to test geophysical contacts and conductive bodies at depth that relate to mineralization on surface. Most of the drilling would target the Stallion Trend which is outlined by a large antimony anomaly on the project. Further prospecting is scheduled to be conducted on areas outside the Stallion Trend. There are historical reports of Zinc values up to 3.3%, and Silver up to 24 g/t where large structures are apparent in the LiDAR survey.

Leocor Gold Drills 2.32 G/T Au Over 10.67m at the Baie Verte Project, Newfoundland
(TheNewswire)
| |||||||||
Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - December 7, 2022 - Leocor Gold Inc. (the " Company " or " Leocor ") (CSE: LECR, OTCQB: LECRF; Frankfurt: LGO) is pleased to announce it has received Rotary Air Blast ("RAB") drill results on the Company's Baie Verte project located near Anaconda Mining's Pine Cove Mine and Rambler Metal's Ming Mine in northwestern Newfoundland.
The Phase 1 program tested at least six different target areas for gold and/or copper mineralization with 18 RAB drill holes and was designed to follow up on previously announced soil and GT Probe results (1) ; evaluating the targets for potential follow up diamond drilling as warranted. Results from 12 of the holes on the gold targets are discussed in this news release, and the results from the additional six holes on the Copper Creek Trend will released in due course.
Highlights from the gold targets include:
Sharpie Ridge Target: 2.32 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 10.67m; including 10.2 g/t Au over 1.52m. New target that is open along strike and at depth.
Braz NE Target: 3.18 g/t Au over 4.57m from surface. New target that is open along strike and at depth.
Dorset Main Target: 1.41 g/t over 7.62m. Confirming geometry of the mineralized zone.
"We're very pleased with the new discoveries on the consolidated Baie Verte package," said CEO, Alex Klenman. "The technical team has done great work to advance the project and our understanding of the mineralized zones. These new targets represent even more upside, and it appears the ground has more to give. We're anxious to see the upcoming Copper Creek results, then we'll move towards diamond drilling," continued Mr. Klenman.
2022 RAB Drill Program
The 2022 RAB Drilling program consisted of 1023m of drilling over 18 holes and tested 6 target areas across the Baie Verte property including the Dorset, Gunshot, Gunshot Extension, Sharpie Ridge, Braz NE, and Copper Creek target areas. The program followed up on previously announced gold and copper soil and GT Probe results over a 7km trend across the property (1) and is designed to evaluate the targets for potential diamond drilling. Results for 12 of the 18 holes, focused on the gold target areas, are included in this release. Additional result from the Copper Creek Trend will be released in due course.
The RAB drilling was be completed by GroundTruth Exploration Inc. using their "GT RAB Drill," a Heli-Portable, wireless remote-controlled, rubber tracked platform with a hydraulic tilting mast assembly and rotary drill head. The GT RAB Drill is environmentally friendly with low-ground pressure and minimal surface disturbance. Individual drill holes can be up to 100m in depth and are paired with onsite XRF analysis and optical televiewer surveys, allowing rapid evaluation of the target areas.
Individual results for the drilling ranged from below detection to 10.2g/t Au and are summarized in Table 1 below. A drill collar table and associated map for the results included in this release are included in Table 2 and Figure 1 below. All intervals are reported as drilled and there is not currently enough information to determine true thickness at this time. It should also be noted that none of the holes reached the originally planned 100m target depth do to challenging ground conditions.

Sharpie Ridge
Four holes (006 – 009) were drilled on the Sharpie Ridge target. The drilling was assessing alteration and mineralization along a NE trending fault-controlled contact of fuchsite altered ultramafic and metavolcanic rocks. The holes were drilled over a 130m strike length and were centered on an outcrop of strongly silicified outcrop with assays up to 1.31 g/t Au. Hole -007 was drilled adjacent to the mineralized outcrop and intersected strongly silicified and quartz veined metavolcanic and ultramafic returning 2.32 g/t Au over 10.32m from 15.24m depth; including 10.2 g/t Au over 1.52m. Holes (006 & 008/009) were collared 55 and 80m north and south of -007; respectively. These holes failed to interest the mineralized structure due to hole placement/dip, and only returned anomalous results. The drill results on Sharpie Ridge are significant because it is a new discovery and is at the NE end of a 1.8km gold in soil anomaly associated with the same faulted contact. Follow up drilling will continue to assess the strike and dip extent of mineralization on the target.
Dorset
Two holes (-002 & -002) were drilled on the Dorset target evaluating the historic Dorset prospect which hosts rock samples up to 57.2 g/t Au from NE striking, steeply west dipping quartz veins and breccia zones sericite-ankerite alteration and pyrite, arsenopyrite, and, locally, visible gold mineralization. The holes were drilled approximately 15m apart and were designed to evaluate the geometry and dip of the mineralization. Both holes interested intersected mineralization at 28.96m depth and returned 1.41 g/t over 7.62m (-001) and 1.14 g/t Au over 6.10m (-002); respectively. The holes confirmed the geometry of the mineralized zone and will guide follow up drilling efforts to assess the strike and dip extent of the zone and evaluate it for higher grade, plunging shoots, of gold mineralization.
DOR/Gunshot Extension
Three holes (-003 to -005) were drilled on the DOR/Gunshot Extension target, located approximately 950m SW of Dorset. The target consists of 1.6km, NE trending, gold in south anomaly with anomalous GT Probe results (up to 1.19 g/t Au). RAB drilling was conducted on the NE end of the trend with the three holes placed approximately 100m apart. Holes -003 and -005 returned zones of anomalous Au mineralization (>0.1 g/t Au) with highlights of 0.57 g/t Au over 3.05m from 27.43m depth from hole -003 and 0.21 g/t Au over 18.29m from 1.52m depth in hole -005.
Gunshot
Two holes (-011 & -012) were drilled on the Gunshot target located approximately 345m west of the Dorset target. The drilling was targeting NE striking gold in soil and GT Probe anomalies (up to 1.97 g/t Au). The holes were, effectively, drilled from the same location (with 5m) at azimuths of 135 and 315; respectively. Only hole -011 encountered anomalous mineralization with the best intercept returning 0.64 g/t Au over 1.52m from 18.29m depth.
Braz NE
One hole was drilled on the Braz NE target, located 80m south of Gunshot. The drilling was targeting a 5m wide outcrop of sheared metavolcanic rocks with sheeted quartz veins and sericite alteration. The hole returned 3.18 g/t Au over 4.57m from surface and will be a target for follow up drilling on the property.
Assay Methodology and QA/QC
All RAB samples were prepared and analyzed by Bureau Veritas Laboratories. Samples were submitted to their Timmins, ON laboratory for preparation with pulps sent to their Vancouver, BC laboratory for assay. The samples were were crushed to 70% passing -2 mm and then splitting off and pulverizing a 250-gram split to 85% passing -75 microns (PRP70-250). A 0.5 gram cut of the pulp was analyzed by AQ201, an aqua regia digestion followed by ICP-MS analysis for 36 elements. Gold was analyzed for by FA430 using a 30-gram charge for a standard fire assay with an AA finish. If Au results were >10 g/t a second 30-gram charge was used for a standard fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
The reported work will be completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") program consisting of the insertion of certified standard, blanks, and duplicates into the sample stream.

Figure 3 – Regional Setting of the Baie Verte Project
About Leocor's Baie Verte Project
The Baie Verte Peninsula represents one of the more productive and historical gold and base metal mining districts in Canada. The former Terra Nova base metal mine – one of several copper mines of the region, which operated during the late 1880's to early 1900's – lies 200 meters west of Leocor's Copper Creek claims. Former gold mining operations in the area include the Goldenville mine (of 1903-1906), located 8 km NE of the property, and the more recent Nugget Pond mine (1997-2000) of the eastern Baie Verte Peninsula area. Currently producing mines in the area include the Rambler base metal-gold mine (1961-present), located 14 km ESE of Baie Verte, and the Pine Cove and Stogertite mines (collectively, 2011-present) located 1.6 km and 5.4 km NE of the current property.
The Baie Verte project combines the Dorset, Dorset Extension, Five Mile Brook and Copper Creek projects consisting of fourteen mineral licenses, totalling 80 claims, and covering 1995 hectares (19.95 square km).
The Dorset Gold Project is a 275-ha gold exploration project, located south of the Pine Cove Gold Mine, and features multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization. The Main Dorset Zone includes three historic showings, referred to as Dorset 1, 2 and 3 Showings. Grab samples from Dorset 1 returned 407.9, 349.2, 147.1, 143.9, 138.2, 108.0, 106.7, 72.4 and 30.0 g/t Au. Grab samples from Dorset 2 returned 167.0, 96.12, 84.3, 49.7, 23.8,4.33 and 1.33 g/t Au (MacDougall and Walker, 1988) and a "combined assay of 56.0 g/t Au over 2.5m" (MacDougall 1989) . Historic drilling includes DDH 87-1, which intersected 9.5 g/t Au over 1.3m (MacDougall and Walker, 1988).
Historic select sampling at the Braz Zone returned values of 314 g/t Au, 40 g/t Au, 31.4 g/t Au, 21.2 g/t Au, 19.2 g/t Au and 14.8 g/t Au. Historic channel sampling across the vein returned 9.5 g/t Au over 0.4m, 5.7 g/t Au over 0.5m and 1.2 g/t Au over 0.65m. Weighted averages of historic rock sampling encompassing vein and mineralized wall rock returned values of 5.8 g/t Au over 1.9m, 3.1 g/t Au over 2m and 2.5 g/t Au over 1.5m (MacDougall, 1990).
Other zones include The Albatross, where historic rock sampling of mineralized zones returned values up to 30.3 g/t Au. Assay results from three 1987 diamond drill holes include 1.0 g/t Au over 7.3m, 1.81 g/t over 4.3m and 1.02 g/t over 2.2m and the Gunshot Zone, where veins containing visible gold and pyrite returned grab samples that assayed up to 162 g/t Au and channel samples that assayed up to 18 g/t Au over 0.4m (MacDougall, 1989)
In the Phoenix Zone, "assays from initial grab samples returned 5.8 and 5.5 g/t within the gabbro. Quartz veins have returned 1.4, 0.6 and 0.5 g/t Au. Similar mineralization located 500m north east returned 3.3 g/t." (MacDougall, 1987). Diamond drilling hole intersected of 1.07 g/t Au over 5.45m (MacDougall, 1989).
Copper Creek (1,025-ha) hosts a number of gold prospects and copper occurrences associated with extensive alteration/shear zones developed within a thrust-faulted sequence of quartz-Fe-carbonate-fuchsite-altered gabbros, ultramafics and mafic volcanics, of the Advocate (ophiolite) Complex, and intermediate to silicic volcaniclastics & tuffs and microgabbroic dykes/sills, of the Flatwater Pond (cover sequence) Group. Historical results at Copper Creek – Biarritz zone include "values ranging from 1.3 to 16 g/t Au from grab samples and a combined assay of 3.9 g/t Au over 4.0m from detailed chip sampling." Additionally, "300m SW along strike exposed a 5-10m shear zone with similar alteration returned which returned sporadic values up to 9,2 g/t Au from grab samples" Noranda drilled several diamond holes in the area including A-88-7 which returned 0.66 g/t Au over 1.5 m and A-88-9 which returned 3.11 g/t Au over 0.5 m. (MacDougall, 1989).
Five Mile Brook (350-ha) has been subject to minimal exploration in the past but shows potentially important geological continuity to the Company's Dorset Gold Project, which lies directly contiguous to the northern boundary.
