McIntyre Main Block December 2019 Drilling Update:

Two diamond drill holes were completed in December 2019. The program was cut short due to heavy snow fall and inclement weather. Results of the drilling are expected to be released shortly.

Mr. R. Kim Tyler, President and CEO of the Company stated, “We are very pleased to be acquiring these new properties alongside our previously optioned central McIntyre Brook Block.  IOCG-type deposits are an exotic new style only recently being recognized in North America and have the potential to be world-class deposits on par with Australia’s Olympic Dam and Chile’s Candelaria mines.  Stratabound is pleased to be moving to the forefront of exploration for these types of deposits in the Canadian Maritimes.”
