Vancouver, Canada, January 31, 2019 --(PR.com)-- MAS Gold Corp. Begins Drilling at Point Prospect

MAS Gold Corp. (TSX.V:MAS) ("MAS Gold”) is pleased to announce that it has collared the first core drill hole of a winter exploration program at the Point gold prospect on the Preview Lake property located about 60 kilometers northeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan.

As outlined in MAS Gold’s December 21, 2018 news release, planned exploration at the Point gold prospect includes thirteen holes totalling approximately 3,190 metres of core drilling. An additional eleven core holes totalling 1,545 metres are planned for the North Lake property.

At the Point gold prospect, MAS Gold intends to twin historic hole RM86-21, drilled by Saskatchewan Mining and Development Corporation (“SMDC”) in 1986 at azimuth 087o and dip -45o, that intercepted multiple zones of gold-mineralized sheared quartz veins within a carbonate-altered, tuffaceous volcanic host rock. In RM86-21, a 10.65 metre intercept (from 51.6 metres to 62.25 metres) averaged 8.32 grams gold per tonne (g/t). This intercept included 8.54 g/t gold averaged over 2.0 metres (from 53.90 metres) and hosted visible gold in the last 0.5 metres (from 62.5 metres) that assayed 117.07 g/t gold. With gold assays cut to a maximum of 34.28 g/t (1.0 ounce per ton), the full 10.65 metre interval averaged 4.56 g/t gold.

MAS Gold’s current drill program is designed to provide confirmation of historic drill results, infill and step-out drill intercepts, and core for metallurgical testing. The Point and North Lake prospects were the subject of focused delineation drill programs completed in the 1980’s by SMDC and Radcliffe Resources Ltd., respectively.

The drill contract for this winter’s program was awarded to Newmac Industries Ltd. of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Geological management of the project is provided by Global Geological Services Inc. of Vancouver, BC. Analytical work will be conducted by TSL Laboratories Inc. in Saskatoon. MAS Gold is the operator of the La Ronge South Gold Joint Venture, with Golden Band Resources Limited, which includes the Point and North Lake gold prospects.

MAS Gold is also pleased to announce the appointment of Lubica Keighery to the position of VP of Corporate Development.

MAS Gold’s new office address is Suite 420 - 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 1H2. The phone number remains: 604-685-8592.
