Thunder Bay, ON – October 21, 2020 – Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV:KES) (OTCPK: KSSRF), (“Kesselrun” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update on its 100% owned Huronian Gold Project.
The Company reports further results from the Fisher Zone, one of four zones tested in the 2020 Huronian drill program. All results have now been received and assessed from the Fisher Zone drilling. Kesselrun has now extended the high-grade portion of the Fisher Zone to nearly 100 metres down plunge.
Highlights

Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company, commented, “Our drilling on the Fisher Zone has demonstrated the continuity of the high-grade core. The data collected from this program has enabled us to better model the zone and target down plunge extensions of the known zone as well as new high-grade shoots along strike and down dip. The team is excited to test these targets in the next phase of drilling”.
The 2020 Huronian drill program targeted four zones; Fisher, Fisher North, McKellar and Huronian. The four zones are in close proximity along an approximate 1500 m strike length in the area of the historic Huronian Mine. The zones include multiple generations of quartz veins that carry high grade gold values in association with altered, sheared and variably mineralized mafic volcanics, feldspar-quartz porphyries and iron formation.
Previous operators have focused on the Fisher, Fisher North and McKellar Zones where drilling has been concentrated at near surface depths of 75 metres or less, while the Huronian Zone has been mostly unexplored since the closure of the mine in 1936. As a result, Kesselrun believes there to be significant upside potential on all zones.

About the Huronian Gold Project
The 100% owned Huronian Gold Project hosts the past producing Huronian Mine, Northwestern Ontario’s first gold mine with an historic resource estimate of 44,592 oz Au @ 15.3 g/t Au in the indicated category and 501,377 oz Au @ 14.4 g/t Au in the inferred category. The resource estimate presented for the Huronian Project is historic in nature. Kesselrun Resources’ qualified person has not completed sufficient work to confirm the results of the historical resource. Kesselrun Resources is not treating this as a current mineral resource but is considering it relevant as a guide to future exploration and is included for reference purposes only. The historic resource was estimated by Minescape Exploration Inc. in 1998. Further drilling will be required by Kesselrun Resources to verify the historic estimate as current mineral resources.
As well, the Huronian Gold Project hosts the same lithological package of rocks, as interpreted from both Government of Ontario and Kesselrun Resources mapping, compilation and modelling, on strike from Wesdome Gold’s (TSX:WDO) adjacent Moss Lake Gold Deposit with a resource estimate of 1,377,300 oz Au @ 1.1 g/t Au in the indicated category and 1,751,600 oz Au @ 1.1 g/t Au in the inferred category as outlined in their 2013 PEA2. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on Kesselrun Resources’ property.

Thunder Bay, ON – October 7, 2020 – Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV:KES) (OTCPK: KSSRF) (“Kesselrun” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update on its Huronian Gold Project.
The Company has received initial results from the Fisher Zone, one of four zones tested in the 2020 Huronian drill program. The Fisher Zone has been outlined by historic work to be approximately 400 metres in strike length and 75 metres depth.
Highlights

Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company, commented, “The impressive width and grade along with the tenure of veining, alteration and mineralization indicates a robust system. As well, we have extended the higher-grade core to almost 100 metres vertical depth with the down plunge extent remaining untested. Our systematic approach to exploration puts Kesselrun in an exceptionally good position to aggressively advance the Huronian project”.
The 2020 Huronian drill program targeted four zones; Fisher, Fisher North, McKellar and Huronian. The four zones are in close proximity along an approximate 1500 m strike length in the area of the historic Huronian Mine.

Thunder Bay, ON – September 3, 2020 – Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KES) (OTCPK: KSSRF) (“Kesselrun” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that drilling has been extended at its Huronian Gold Project.
The original planned drill program consisted of a total of 2,500 metres and management has decided to extend the program for a total of a minimum of 3,000 metres.
Drilling is focusing on the Fisher, Fisher North and McKellar zones, as well as the historically mined Huronian zone, with the goal of testing newly interpreted structural components and controls on gold mineralization. All the zones are proximal to the historically mined Huronian zone, no farther than 400 metres along strike.
Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company, commented, “The visuals of the drill core, although preliminary in nature, have given us the confidence to commit to extending the scope of the current drill program.”
