Kenorland Commences Drilling at Regnault on the Frotet Project in Quebec

Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) ("Kenorland" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at Regnault within the Frotet Project (the "Project" ) located in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt of Quebec.

The program will include up to 9,000 meters of diamond drilling to follow-up on the initial discovery made in 2020 where the Company intersected 29.08m at 8.47g/t Au including 11.13m at 18.43g/t Au during the maiden drill program testing a greenfield target (see press release dated July 29, 2020 ).

The announced drill program will see approximately 6,000 meters of drilling allocated within the 'Regnault Discovery Area', stepping out from previous significant drill intercepts as well as testing new targets within the two kilometer strike length of known mineralization.  The remaining 3,000 meters will be allocated to testing further targets within the 'Regnault South' area, a three kilometer trend of continual gold in till anomalism along strike of the initial discovery area.

The previously announced 129 line-km 3D IP survey is well underway and processed data covering the discovery area has been utilized for drill targeting.  The remainder of the survey along Regnault South will be completed in the coming weeks.  Further information regarding these targets will be communicated to the market once the entire survey is completed.

Zach Flood , CEO of Kenorland states, "We're delighted to have the drills turning again on this incredible discovery.  In mineral exploration, the odds of finding a completely new, and significant gold system are extremely rare.  I believe we've succeeded in that and the objective now is to expand the footprint, and define the limits and continuity of mineralization."

About the Frotet Project

The Frotet Project was first identified by Kenorland in 2017 after completing a regional prospectively study over the Abitibi and Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belts. The Frotet-Evans greenstone belt hosts the Troilus Au-Cu deposit which produced more than two million ounces of gold and ~70,000 tons of Cu between 1996-2010, and currently contains 3.97Moz Au indicated and 1.53Moz Au inferred (Troilus Gold website). The initial 55,921 ha property was acquired through map staking in March, 2017 and optioned to Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd. ("SMMCL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. in April, 2018. Two years of property-wide systematic till sampling led to a maiden drill program in 2020 which resulted in a significant grassroots discovery at the prospect now named Regnault. The project is currently owned 65% SMMCL and 35% Kenorland.  SMMCL has the option to earn an additional 15% (80% total) by funding an additional C$4 million before October 1 st , 2021.  Once a joint venture is formed, any party which is diluted below a 10% interest will convert their interest to a 2% uncapped net smelter royalty.

Omar Ayales: Gold, Silver, Juniors Have Explosive Upside — Not Being in Trade is Top Risk

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Omar Ayales of Gold Charts R Us discussed the outlook for gold from a technical perspective, saying that he sees the metal's price potentially peaking in 2026.

Gold's past performance indicates that it could reach US$4,000 per ounce during this cycle. He sees US$2,600 as a bullish support level for gold, with deeper support existing in the US$2,200 to US$2,300 range.

However, Ayales said there's no guarantee that the yellow metal will fall that low at this point.

Gold Price 2024 Year-End Review

Gold saw incredible price gains in 2024, rising from US$2,000 per ounce to close to US$2,800.

Various factors have lent support, including 75 basis points worth of interest rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve, geopolitical instability in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and uncertainty in global financial markets.

Of course, it wasn't all an upward climb for gold — following the US presidential election, Donald Trump emerged victorious, and the gold price experienced volatility as investors flocked to Bitcoin.
