Prize Mining Commences Drilling and Trenching Programs on Daylight Gold Property, BC


CALGARY, Oct. 24, 2017 /CNW/ - PRIZE MINING CORPORATION ("Prize" or the "Company") (TSXV: PRZ) (OTCQB: PRZFF) (GR:FRANKFURT: MQSP) is pleased to announce it has commenced a diamond drilling and trenching program on the Daylight Property, located near Nelson in southeastern British Columbia.

Following a successful expanded summer exploration program, a compilation of all historical and newly acquired data has been put together for the first time.  The combined data was used by the Terralogic's exploration team to produce 11 highly prospective target areas (refer to the map link below).

Feisal Somji, chief executive officer commented: "A focus of the drilling and trenching program will be on the 4 historical mines which returned high grade results up to 37 g/t gold.  Recent surface exploration results taken from the same areas confirmed high grade soil samples up to 8 g/t gold as well as rock samples up to 9 g/t gold.  This is a very exciting time for the Company as we embark on our fully funded discovery focused drill program."

In conjunction with the new targets, historical areas will also be revisited.

Targets were generated utilizing the following parameters.

Terralogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, BC is overseeing the Daylight exploration programs.  Diamond drilling has been contracted to Lucky Drilling Ltd. of Castlegar, BC and excavator trenching will be conducted by Wade Critchlow Enterprises Ltd. of Salmo, BC.  A total of approximately 2000 metres for diamond drilling and 1500 metres of trenching will be completed in this Phase II exploration program on the Daylight Property alone.

This Phase II exploration program is anticipated to be completed over the next month with initial assay results can be expected before the end of 2017.

*NOTE: historic mining took place in the early 1900s and cannot be verified.  It can be assumed that hand sorting of ore took place and that actual grades may vary. The data is non NI 43-101 compliant.

The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Prize, including expectations and assumptions concerning the upcoming trenching and drilling program on Prize's Daylight Property and the timeline for receipt of a permit which would allow for an exploration program on Prize's Toughnut Property. Although Prize believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Prize can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. There is no assurance that the result of these exploration programs will be successful. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks.
