(“Black Tusk” or the “Company) (C: TUSK, FSE:0NB, OTC:BTKRF) is pleased to announce that a diamond drill rig is being mobilized on the McKenzie East gold property located north of Val d’Or, Quebec. The drilling contractor is currently mobilizing onto the first drill site following ground preparation.

Black Tusk has signed a contract with Forage Val d’Or for 2,500 metres of drilling on the McKenzie East project. Forage Val d’Or is a local-based contractor with knowledge and experience of drilling within the region.

Drill targets, which have been summarized in prior news releases, include a combination of results obtained from soil sampling, magnetic surveying, IP surveying, and geological reconnaissance.

A total of 9 drill pads have now been prepared to allow for alternative site selection as drilling progresses. Five primary targets were identified for initial drilling, with possible extension to the program following positive results. The company is permitted for up to 23 drill sites on the property.

The McKenzie Break Project is within 2 kilometres west of the Black Tusk property. In June 2018, Monarch Gold Corporation reported a pit-constrained indicated resource of 939,860 tonnes grading 1.59 grams gold, and an underground indicated resource of 281,739 tonnes averaging 5.90 grams gold on the McKenzie Break (NI 43-101 Technical Report on the McKenzie Break Project, April 17, 2018, Alain-Jean Beauregard, P.Geo., andDaniel Gaudreault, Eng., of Geologica Groupe-Conseil Inc. and Christian D’Amours, P.Geo., of GeoPointCom Inc.).
