American Marconi Wireless News - Continued Positive Results from Exploration Drilling, McFarlane Intersects Second Wide Zone of Gold Mineralization at McMillan Returning 51.6 Meters (m) of 2.0 Grams Per Tonne (gpt) Gold, Containing a Higher-Grade Zone of 5.5 gpt Gold Over 7.55 m that Included 16.1 gpt Gold Over 1.8 m

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2025 / McFarlane Lake Mining Limited ("McFarlane" or the "Company") (CBOE:MLM)(OTCQB:MLMLF), is excited to announce additional results of recent diamond drilling conducted at its 100% owned past producing McMillan Gold Mine located 70 km west of Sudbury, Ontario (see Figure 1).

The McMillan Gold Mine was a past producer of gold and is located within 3 km from major highways and power lines. Located geologically in the Huronian Gold Belt, this area of the province has been consistently identified as a top gold and polymetallic exploration opportunity as highlighted in the Ontario Geological Survey's Recommendation for Exploration between 2010 and 2025.

Hole MLMM-25-04 was drilled approximately 50 metres below and 20 metres west of hole MLMM-08-05W1 to test a Borehole Electromagnetic (EM) anomaly. Assay results returned 2.0 gpt gold over 51.6 metres, including 3.1 gpt gold over 21.15 metres. The wide zone of mineralization also included three higher-grade intervals of 5.5 gpt gold over 7.55 metres, 5.5 gpt gold over 2.8 metres, and 4.8 gpt gold over 4.4 metres. Drill assay highlights are shown in Table 1. A longitudinal section of the recent drilling is shown in Figure 2, and Figure 3 features a photo of the broad zone of mineralized quartz-sulphide stockwork from hole MLMM-25-04.

Previously announced drill hole MLMM-08-05W1, see news release February 3, 2025, returned 2.7 gpt gold over 31.35 metres including 5.6 gpt gold over 13 metres that contained a higher-grade zone of 10.7 gpt gold over 5 metres. Hole MLMM-08-05W1 and hole MLMM-25-04, reported in this release, have discovered a wide zone of gold mineralization hosted in quartz sulphide stockwork that is open along strike and at depth.

The mineralization quartz stockwork contains a variety of sulphide minerals, including chalcopyrite (a copper-bearing mineral), pyrite, pyrrhotite, and arsenopyrite. Base metal assay results for copper, nickel, and cobalt from both holes are still pending. McFarlane's drill program is still underway and plans to test the continuity of this wide zone of gold mineralization.

"We are excited by what we see", said Mark Trevisiol, CEO of McFarlane Lake Mining, adding "to get high-grade gold intercepts within a wide zone of mineralization is a spectacular result", adding "our team is now focused on exploring this trend with 'step out' drill holes to test this broad zone of gold mineralization along strike and at depth."

Based on drill and geophysical data from this recent drill program, McFarlane believes the main zone of the ore body is dipping steeply to the north (into the page of Figure 2) and plunging in an eastern (right) direction. Drilling will focus in the exploration area as outlined.

The scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Wesley Whymark, P. Geo., Consulting Geologist for the company, and a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.

Technical Information

The drill core samples collected by McFarlane Lake Mining and described in this news release were placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the company. Core was then transported by McFarlane personal to a secure processing facility. The core is then reviewed with core metreage blocks checked to verify core integrity, geologically logged and samples marked. Core samples are cut in half, with one half remaining in the box and the other inserted into a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. Certified reference materials are inserted into the sample stream at a rate no less than 10%. Samples are then transported in secure sealed bags with security tags for preparation and assay by MSA Labs in Timmins a certified lab with AC89, IAS accreditation and compliance with ISO/IEC standard 17025:2017. Samples reported were crushed in their entirety to 70% passing 2 mm, with one 300 to 500 g subsample split and placed into a jar for analysis by photon assay. Samples with visible gold were assayed to completion by splitting the sample into multiple 300 to 500g jars until no material remains with analysis by photon assay.
