Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade” or the Company) announces that it has received assays from surface grab sampling on the Crackle zone at the Del Norte project.The Del Norte property was optioned from Teuton Resource Corp. in January of 2020 with terms allowing the Company to earn up to a 55% interest in the property by spending $4 million over a five year period. The Company can an earn an additional 20% interest by carrying the property to commercial production.

*Grab samples are solely designed to show the presence or absence of any mineralization and to characterize the metal tenor in this mineralization. Grab samples are by definition selective and not intended to provide nor should be construed as a representative indication of grade or mineralization at the zone; and the grab samples analysed from the exploration program reflect a broad range in grade from below detection limit to the grades highlighted herein.”
The Company plans a program of channel and chip sampling across exposed mineralized outcrops to better define gold tenor. The Company has arranged contractors for the exploration work on the Del Norte property. The property lies within BC’s “Golden Triangle” located 34 kilometres east of Stewart, BC and is comprised of 5,830.16 ha in 13 separate claims.
Exploration work will be conducted from Stewart in order to avoid a camp situation that may lead to health concerns due to the Covid -19 virus. The Company has arranged helicopter support as well as a pad building crew, diamond drill crew and support staff. The geological crew is one that the Company has relied on for a number of years and which has intimate knowledge of the property.
At present, the Company is awaiting drill permits for the property but has commenced surface sampling while awaiting these.
The Company has completed a $1.2 million flow through financing to fund the program.
