Petrolympic Ltd. (the " Company ", TSXV: PCQ - OTC:PCQRF) is
pleased to provide an update on its exploration projects and the
potential of the Rayon d’Or and Vauquelin gold properties.
Petrolympic is currently developing an
exploration program to delineate the extensions of auriferous zones
included in the Rayon d’Or and Vauquelin deformation corridor. In
particular, the Company is undertaking an airborne magnetic survey
followed by a ground Induced Polarization (IP) survey that will
help to locate mineralized zones. Detailed mapping of the targeted
areas and stripping as needed will follow these surveys, along with
a subsequent drilling campaign.
On the Rayon d'Or Property specifically, a
reinterpretation of the existing data with construction of a 3D
model is also planned, to improve the understanding of the
mineralized zones of this deformation corridor and develop an
effective drilling program, to test the lateral and vertical
extensions of known gold-bearing zones.
With the recent acquisitions of the Rayon d’Or
Property and the adjacent Vauquelin gold property, Petrolympic now
owns the rights to an important NW-SE trending structural corridor
hosting the Rayon d’Or mineralized zone and its lateral extensions.
This zone is part of the regional deformation corridor of the
Cadillac Fault, which already includes many active and old mines as
well as numerous mineralized zones at different stages of
exploration and development.
The combined Rayon d’Or and Vauquelin gold
properties consist in a total of 37 contiguous map-designated
claims (cells) to a grand total of 5,263 Acres of gold potential
geology in the center of Vauquelin township (NTS 32C03),
approximately 40 km east of the town of Val d’Or, a major gold
mining centre in Northwestern Quebec.

Previous work in the heart of the Rayon d’Or
Property has already identified several mineralized structures, in
an approximately 300 m wide NW-SE deformation
corridor comprising several gold bearing sheared zones intersecting
units of rhyolite, andesite and felsic dyke. These structures are
injected with quartz-carbonate veins and are mineralized with
varying amounts of pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and gold.
Most of the previous drilling holes in this
property have intersected mineralized zones that have returned gold
intersections over variable widths up to 5.0m. The
best gold intersections were 12.34 g/t Au over 4.0 m, 3.37
g/t Au over 3.44 m and 16.46 g/t Au over 0.43 m, which
were obtained from 3 subparallel mineralized zones and demonstrate
the potential for enrichment along deformation corridor (for
further details, see the press release dated March 15, 2021, filed
on www.sedar.com).

The adjacent Vauquelin Property, in comparison,
has been the focus of limited work despite a promising potential.
Indeed, Vauquelin is a structural continuity of Rayon d’Or and one
of the gold-bearing zones of the Rayon d'Or deformation corridor is
located within the Vauquelin Property, as revealed by diamond drill
hole # 82-6 which returned a gold intersection of 2.06 g/t
Au over 1.83m. A series of electromagnetic anomalies
scattered throughout the central part of the Property also indicate
the possible presence of prospective mineralized zones.
Furthermore, approximately 5 km to the south-east of Vauquelin
Property, the Forsan-Exxeter gold deposit is also associated with a
NW-SE trending mineralized zone which is located in the lateral
extension of the same deformation corridor. This gold deposit
contains resources in the amount of 393,869 t at 4.91 g/t Au (Louis
Perron, 1988, GM-47652).

Mendel Ekstein, President and CEO of
Petrolympic, stated: “We are excited to be undertaking this
exploration program on such promising properties in the world-class
Val d’Or mining district, one of the best places for gold
exploration and production. Our program is expected to produce
several drill-ready prospects and advance a number of other
prospects closer to drill-ready stages.”
