Radisson Exploration Program Set to Begin

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2021) -  LaSalle Exploration Corp. (TSXV: LSX) ("LaSalle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a comprehensive field program including the Company's first drill program is set to begin on its 100% owned Radisson Property located in the Eeyou Istchee - James Bay Territory, Québec.

Crews are mobilizing with prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling commencing the week of June 14. The first priority will be to follow-up on the prospecting discoveries on the Goldhawk and Goldfang high grade gold zones and will include prospecting and geological mapping. These discoveries occur in an area of the Property that had received little exploration prior to LaSalle's work program last fall.

In mid-July, the Company will initiate its first drill program on Radisson, that will consist of a minimum of 3,000 metres testing 8-10 prioritized targets including the Goldhawk and Goldfang zones. All contracts related to the drilling program have been executed.

Commented Ian Campbell, President and CEO of LaSalle "We are very excited to begin our fully funded comprehensive exploration program at Radisson that will include our first ever drill program."

The Goldhawk and Goldfang Zones were discovered by prospecting late in the 2020 field season. At Goldhawk, grab samples of quartz veins hosted in diorite ranged from 1.55 grams per tonne (g/t) gold to higher grades of 36.71 g/t and 64.50 g/t gold while grab samples of biotite-altered diorite host with no quartz veins but with 1% to 4% fine-grained disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite returned high grade assays of 6.72 g/t and 9.30 g/t gold. Goldfang, located 2.5 km east of the Goldhawk Zone, returned anomalous to high-grade copper and gold from grab samples with values ranging from 1.01 g/t to 5.93 g/t gold, up to 48 g/t silver and 2.34% copper.

Additionally, prospecting and mapping will focus on new high-priority targets identified throughout the survey area from the 73 line-kilometre induced polarization "IP" ground geophysical survey completed during the winter. The IP survey targeted three areas, the largest being over the west-northwesterly trending, gold bearing structural corridor that projects onto the Radisson Property and contains the Goldhawk and the Goldfang high-grade gold discoveries. LaSalle considers this area to be highly favourable for gold mineralization as it occurs where several prominent, regional structural features converge.

The geophysical survey also revealed several anomalous trends and targets in the Wisht area which occurs 2 km along strike to the west of the Goldhawk Zone at the intersection of the west-northwesterly trending gold structural corridor and the east-west trending Serpent ultramafic body. This area and along trend to the west includes the Taramac, South Flank and Leo mineralized occurrences which had returned grab samples grading up to 4.17 g/t gold, 3.36% copper and 21.20 g/t silver. Limited prospecting late last year also discovered zones of sericite schist interpreted by the Company to be favourable structures to host gold mineralization. These areas, along with several others, are targeted for systematic exploration in the upcoming field season.
