EarthLabs Inc. announced that MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. successfully intercepted copper, gold and silver mineralization at EarthLabs's HighPriority "Alwyn Trend" Target. EarthLabs, a leading technology company leveraging artificial intelligence and data science to transform the mineral discovery process, generated targets for MacDonald Mines by combining machine learning and geoscience expertise. Targeting at the SPJ Property EarthLabs generated goldfocused targets, using "Smart Targeting" method which combines knowledge and AI datadriven approaches.

Geoscientific interpretations included a new structural map and stress model and new insights on the property's geochemical make up. EarthLabs generated 53 targets including five high priority Exploration Areas: Alwyn, Glade, McLeod, Scadding Extension and Pine trends. Alwyn Trend ­ Drill Results MacDonald Mine's Phase 1 drilling in the Alwyn Trend included five oriented diamond drill holes, totalling 693m at the northern end of the 1.0 kmlong highpriority Alwyn Trend target identified by EarthLabs.

Variably dense and multidirectional quartzcarbonate and carbonate veins, like the networks of veins associated with coppergold mineralization at surface, were intersected in four out of the five drill holes. Iron oxide alteration, occurring as sporadic specular to earthy hematite veinlets, was also observed with zones of chalcopyrite mineralization. The strongest zone of quartzcarbonate veining associated with copper and gold mineralization was intersected in hole AW22102 in a previously untested area east of the historical Alwyn Mine.

The broad interval of mineralization and alteration consists of two zones of intense mineralization (referred to as the Upper and Lower zones) separated by a zone of pervasive but weaker mineralization. Composite assays results combining Upper, Lower and the intervening zone are 0.41% CuEq (0.17% Cu, 0.36 g/t Au and 0.28 g/t Ag) over 90.44 m. Assays from the Upper Zone returned 0.53% CuEq (0.24% Cu, 0.43 g/t Au and 0.41 g/t Ag) over 41.53 m, and from the Lower Zone returned 0.84% CuEq (0.29% Cu, 0.82 g/t Au and 0.33 g/t Ag) over 13.0 m. Quartzcarbonate, carbonate and hematitecarbonate veining variably mineralized with chalcopyrite and pyrite persisted over 100 m in the drill core; this includes a 3 m quartz carbonate vein (true width currently unknown). The 3 m vein returned 3.99% CuEq (1.36% Cu, 3.87 g/t Au and 3.05 g/t Ag) over 3.2 m. The location of AW22102 suggests that the coppergold vein system remains prospective to the south, as predicted by EarthLabs, where the high priority Alwyn target extends for 1.0 km.

Phase 1 drilling confirmed veining and mineralization over a 115 m strike length and demonstrated that mineralization remains open in all directions. In the other drill holes, mineralized zones are characterized by 510% veins over broad intervals up to 116 m, with some limited dilution by narrow (<10m) Nipissing diabase dykes. Approximately 30% of veins carry sulphides, consisting of up to 5% chalcopyrite + pyrite, but typically containing 0.52% total sulphides.
