Beauce Gold Fields Discovers New Mineralized Outcrops that Align with Antiform Saddle Reef Structures
November 7 - Beauce Gold Fields (Champs D'Or en Beauce) (TSX Venture: "BGF"), referred to as "BGF" or the "Company," is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities following the recent completion of its geophysical survey of the Beauce Gold property in southern Quebec. The Company has identified significant new mineralized outcrops along lengths of the antiform (Saddle Reef type) structure, specifically a newly observed mineralized stockwork zone north of the property, along with additional insights into the extension of the Grondin antiform structure. Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields, stated, "The identification of mineralized outcrops along the anticline axis to the north of the Saint-Simon-les-Mines gold placers is one more important milestone that will guide our future drilling efforts for lode gold exploration."

Recent field observations by the Company have revealed significant outcrops north of Fraser Road at IP line L76, containing extensive stockwork mineralization. The newly exposed outcrop of blocks of lapilli tuffs, similar to the Grondin outcrop (see BGF press release June 13, 2024) has been found to contain more than 40% sulphides, predominantly pyrite and arsenopyrite, in quartz veins. This stockwork zone may exceed 30 meters in width and is aligned with the axis of the anticline highlighted in the geophysical survey.
Located approximately 2.5 km northeast of the Fraser outcrop showing that sampled 3.08 g/t Au (Fancamp Exploration sample BE-10-01, GM70597) at IP line L65, this zone extends towards the northeast, intersecting with IP line 109+50E about 3 km further. The significance of this newly discovered stockwork zone suggests it may be contributing to the extensive placer deposits of Saint-Simon-les-Mines found to the south of the property.
35 rock grab samples were taken from the three outcrops over the IP anomalies of the four northeastern lines L53E, L65E, L76E and L109. The samples, each weighing 500 grams, were sent to MSALABS for assay analysis. The grab sample results combined with IP data, geochemical soil results and structural mapping (BGF press release October 17 2024) will guide the selection of drill hole targets for a follow-up drilling and bulk sampling program. This information will also enable the Company to file the necessary "Autorisation pour travaux à impact" (ATI) with the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources for drilling authorization.
Jean Bernard, BSc. Geo., a qualified independent person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information presented in this release.

About Beauce Gold Fields
Beauce Gold Fields is focused on exploring and developing the largest placer gold district in eastern North America. The Company's objective is the trace old placer gold workings back to a bedrock source to uncover economic lode gold deposits. The Company's flagship property is the St-Simon-les-Mines Gold project, site of Canada's first gold rush that pre-dates the Yukon Klondike. The Beauce region hosted some of the largest historical placer gold mines in Eastern North America that were active from 1860s to the 1960s It produced some of the largest gold nuggets in Canadian mining history (50oz to 71oz).

Beauce Gold Fields is currently exploring recently discovered antiform systems that could have contributed to the development of the extensive auriferous placers in Beauce. The Company's geological model suggests that placer gold within the Beauce Gold paleochannel, including the renowned large nuggets from the 19th century, formed in stressed quartz pockets within layered domed Axis of Antiforms, exemplified by Saddle Reef formations. Notable global Saddle Reef formations include the Bendigo gold fields in Australia (over 60 million ounces) and the high-grade Dufferin deposit in Nova Scotia.
