Leocor Mining Drills 28.5 g/t Au over 0.4m at Dorset Gold Project, Baie Verte, Newfoundland

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - August 6, 2025 - Leocor Mining Inc. (the " Company " or " Leocor ") (CSE: LECR,OTC:LECRF, OTCQB: LECRF; Frankfurt: LGO0) (formerly Leocor Gold Inc.), a junior resource company focussed on the exploration and development of precious metals  projects in Eastern Canada, is pleased to report final assay results from its recently completed drill program at the Dorset prospect, located within the Company's 2,002-ha contiguous Baie Verte gold-copper exploration project.  The Baie Verte project ("The Project") is situated on the north central coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The complete geochemical results received from SGS Canada, support the results of previous exploration at the project and confirm the presence of orogenic gold mineralization at Dorset.

Gold Highlights Include:

Drillhole 25-DR-001

  • 0.5m of 3.25 g/t Au within 1.1m of 1.61 g/t Au beginning at 42.5m downhole

  • 0.3m of 1.07 g/t Au beginning 100.3m downhole

Drillhole 25-DR-005

  • 0.6m of 1.13 g/t Au within 1.1m of 0.67g/t beginning 37.0m downhole

  • 0.4m of 28.5 g/t Au beginning 76.9m downhole

Further significant results from the drilling program are presented in Table 1, and images of the 25-DR-005 highlights are presented below in Figures 1 and 2.

The Dorset drill holes successfully followed up the Copper Creek drill program, the results of which were announced in the Company's News Release dated July 8, 2025.   These results

support preliminary interpretations that the claims represent the stockwork feeder zone of a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") mineralizing system. In addition to stockwork chalcopyrite mineralization the program identified additional hallmarks of VMS systems including anomalous zinc mineralization and lenses of massive and semi-massive pyrite.

Results reported July 8 include the following Copper highlights:

  • 3.6m of 1.49 % Cu Including 0.9m of 3.22 % Cu within 6.1m of 0.99 % Cu in hole CC-25-001 beginning at 31.7m downhole

  • 6.6m of 0.44 % Cu Including 0.6m of 1.97 % Cu in hole CC-25-002 beginning at 15.2m downhole

  • 3.6m of 0.66 % Cu Including 1.8m of 0.92 % Cu Within 6.0m of 0.45 % Cu in hole 25-CC-006 beginning at 19.0m downhole.

  • 4.1m of 0.56 % Cu Including 1.4m of 1.43 % Cu in hole 25-CC-014 beginning at 45.7m downhole.

Zinc highlights include:

  • 3.0m of 0.34 % Zn Including 1.0m of 0.69% Zn in hole 25-CC-006 beginning at 47m downhole.

"The overall results of the 2025 drill program at our Baie Verte project proved fruitful," said Alex Klenman, CEO of Leocor Mining.  "We were able to confirm the presence of a VMS system in a maiden effort at Copper Creek.  The Dorset claims continue to generate positive gold values. We are immediately planning follow up work to prepare for further drilling.  We're pleased with the results to date and are eager to continue development of the Baie Verte project," continued Mr. Klenman.

Modelling work is underway to place these results within the geological context of the project and the Company is planning follow-up exploration activities to evaluate the potential of this mineral system.  Specifics of the next round of work will be announced shortly.

Significance of These Results

The Baie Verte Peninsula hosts a well-documented mineral endowment, including several significant gold occurrences and mines associated with the regional Baie Verte Lineament (BVL), This geological setting is conducive to the development of epigenetic gold mineralization, which is supported by a strong correlation with iron-rich rock types. Similar mineralization is documented at nearby prospects, including the past producing Goldenville and Nugget Pond Mines as well as currently producing Pine Cove and Stogertite Deposits. Gold associated with proximal VMS deposits in the region is also interpreted to be epigenetic in origin Figure 3 below outlines notable mineral deposits within the Baie Verte Peninsula.

Dorset Drilling

At the end of March 2025, the company completed a campaign comprising six diamond drillholes totalling 732 meters at Dorset. The program was designed to follow up on significant gold anomalism in field sampling, trenching, and historical drillhole campaigns which were originally focused on surficial alteration and outcropping veins. The 2025 program represents the first diamond drilling campaign undertaken at Dorset by Leocor. Drillhole Collar information is detailed in Table 1.

LaFleur Minerals Provides Swanson Drilling Update, Acquires Key Swanson Claim, and Files Updated NI 43-101 Technical Report

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) ("LaFleur Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that to date, seven (7) diamond drill holes totaling 1,764 metres have been completed at its Swanson Gold Project ("Swanson") since drilling commenced in early July (Figure 1). Three (3) of these holes have been sampled, sawn, and sent to the assay laboratory for analysis, with final results expected in the coming weeks. The Swanson Gold Project is particularly well positioned as it lies in the heart of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt near Val-d'Or, Québec, a globally renowned gold district.

Drilling is currently focused on the northern part of the Swanson Gold Project near the Swanson Gold Deposit, which hosts an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate. These regional exploration holes are testing geological, geophysical, and geochemical targets up to 3 km from the Swanson Gold Deposit and along strike of a major structural break. Visual core logging suggests that several of the completed holes intersected geological features similar to those hosting known mineralization at the Swanson Gold Deposit.
