Lamaune Gold Results Confirmed and Defined

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Landore Resources Limited has confirmed and defined a significant gold system at its Lamaune Gold exploration target, with 8,919 gold assays compiled from 107 historic drill holes, including a peak assay of 118.7 g/t Au. This data, defining a coherent and targetable system with high-grade zones averaging 4.90 g/t Au, provides the foundation for a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, complementing the existing BAM Gold Deposit MRE of 622,000 oz Indicated and 33,700 oz Inferred, reinforcing the district-scale potential of the 100%-owned Junior Lake Property.

Lamaune Gold Results Confirmed and Defined

 

Lamaune Advances Towards a Maiden Resource

Landore Resources Limited (AIM: LND) ("Landore" or the "Company") is pleased to report the successful compilation and internal validation of a major gold assay dataset from its Lamaune Gold exploration target, located approximately 8.5 km along strike west-north-west of the Company's flagship BAM Gold Deposit on the 100%-owned Junior Lake Property in Ontario, Canada. The results, compiled from prior drilling in 2009 and 2010, decisively confirm the gold system identified in earlier sampling and, for the first time, define it clearly enough for Landore to progress towards a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"), a new value driver to complement the recently published BAM MRE and to further demonstrate the district-scale potential of Junior Lake.

Highlights

•   8,919 gold assays compiled from 107 historic drill holes over 11,220 m of drill core - one of the most comprehensive gold datasets ever assembled at Junior Lake

•   Peak assay of 118.7 g/t Au (hole 1110-88), with five holes exceeding 20 g/t Au and 101 samples grading above 1 g/t Au

•   Gold is strongly zoned and mappable - samples grading ≥ 1,000 ppb (≥1 g/t Au) average 4.90 g/t Au, over 230 times the background population, confirming a coherent, targetable system

•   Results confirm and extend previous Lamaune findings, providing the technical foundation to advance towards an initial MRE

•   Reinforces the district-scale gold opportunity across the 100%-owned Junior Lake Property, alongside the BAM MRE of 622,000 oz Indicated + 33,700 oz Inferred

Alexander Shaw, Director & CEO of Landore, commented:

"These results are hugely encouraging and represent an important step forward for Landore. The Lamaune gold system, which earlier work had only hinted at, has now been confirmed and, crucially, defined with a level of confidence that allows us to progress towards a maiden MRE.

"A defined resource at Lamaune would complement our flagship BAM Gold Deposit and give the Company a second gold asset on the 100%-owned Junior Lake Property. With robust, high-grade mineralisation now demonstrated at both ends of an 8.5 km corridor, we are increasingly confident that Junior Lake represents a district-scale gold opportunity.

"I would like to thank our geological team and partners for their diligence in compiling this exceptional dataset. We look forward to advancing Lamaune towards a resource and to unlocking the broader potential of the wider property for the benefit of all shareholders."

Confirmation of a Robust Gold System

Earlier drill-core sampling at Lamaune returned encouraging but scattered gold values, hinting at a mineralised system running along strike from BAM. This latest, systematic compilation removes any doubt. Across nearly 9,000 assays, the data paints a clear and consistent picture: Lamaune hosts a genuine, robust gold system, not a series of isolated, one-off hits.

Crucially, the gold is not scattered randomly. When the assays are grouped by grade, background below 100 ppb, an anomalous tier from 100-300 ppb, a cut-off tier from 300-1,000 ppb, and high-grade above 1,000 ppb (1 g/t), the values define clear, coherent tiers, climbing sharply from background rock into a distinct high-grade population. This predictability is precisely what is needed to move a project from "exploration target" towards a formal resource estimate.

Standout Gold Results

Zones are defined directly from the Au (ppb) assay values. The high-grade band (≥1,000 ppb / ≥1 g/t Au) averages 4.90 g/t Au - more than 230× the background population - demonstrating a coherent, high-tenor gold system that can be modelled with confidence. This is the classic signature of a nugget-effect orogenic system. The table below highlights the best-performing drill holes in the Lamaune dataset, showing the downhole depth and grade of the peak assay interval in each hole. Every hole shown carries peak assays in the high-grade band (≥1,000 ppb Au).

Potential for a District-Scale Gold Corridor

Lamaune and the flagship BAM Gold Deposit lie approximately 8.5 km apart along the same mineralised greenstone trend on the wholly-owned Junior Lake Property. Confirming robust, high-grade gold at both ends of this corridor, with largely untested ground in between, underpins Landore's view of Junior Lake as a potential district-scale gold system.

What This Means for Investors

The Board believes these results are relevant for investors for the following reasons:

A clear path to a second resource. With the Lamaune gold system now confirmed and defined, Landore is positioned to advance towards a maiden MRE at Lamaune. This would create a second gold resource on the Junior Lake Property to complement the recently published BAM MRE.

Building on BAM's momentum. The BAM Gold Deposit already hosts 622,000 ounces of Indicated gold (19.1 Mt at 1.01 g/t Au) plus 33,700 ounces of Inferred gold (1.1 Mt at 0.96 g/t Au), prepared by SLR Consulting under CIM NI 43-101 standards. A defined Lamaune resource would add a further growth pillar just along strike.

Proving the district. BAM and Lamaune sit 8.5 km apart on the same 100%-owned property. Confirming robust gold mineralisation at both ends of this corridor strengthens the case that Junior Lake is a district-scale gold system - with significant untested ground in between and considerable exploration upside.

Next Steps

•   Compile and validate the Lamaune dataset within a 3D geological model to define mineralised domains

•   Advance towards an initial MRE for Lamaune to complement the BAM MRE

•   Prioritise the high-grade 1109/1110 and 309 hole clusters for follow-up and infill evaluation

•   Continue systematic exploration along the 8.5 km BAM-Lamaune corridor to test the district-scale potential of Junior Lake

Cautionary Statement

Lamaune Gold is an exploration target. The assay results reported here relate to drill-core sampling and do not constitute a MRE. A Mineral Resource for Lamaune has not yet been defined, and there is no certainty that further work will result in the delineation of a Mineral Resource. Grade zones used in this announcement are simple assay-value thresholds applied to individual samples and are not a substitute for a resource classification. The BAM Gold Project MRE was prepared by SLR Consulting under CIM NI 43-101 standards. This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or invitation to invest.
