0km east of Osisko Mining’s Windfall Lake Project andBonterra Resources’ Gladiator Project (Figure 1).
-
Two of the five new targets generated from tillsampling in 2020 have also been surveyed with an IP array
-
Targets A, B and D were drill tested
-
Two of the five new targets remain undrilled.
-
-
14 mineral showings including:

James Rogers CEO of Clarity comments “We are excitedabout the exploration upside of the Fecteau Gold Project. We haveconfirmed mineralization in structures. The project is well situatedin an exciting area adjacent to Osisko’s Windfall Lake Project whichpublished its maiden resource earlier this year.”
The Fecteau Gold Property is known to host two types ofmineralization: VMS (Cu-Zn-Au) and mesothermal gold. Both styles ofmineralization were tested during this program. VMS targets arerepresented in the field by numerous gossans of semi-massive tomassive sulphides located along and near an east-west trendingrhyolite-dacite contact observed over 10 km of strike. Past drillingnear surface intersected anomalous copper-zinc intervals associatedwith anomalous gold.
Mesothermal gold bearing quartz veins are observed atboth ends of the property (western and eastern portions) where thevolcanic sequence is folded. East-west striking meter-scale shearveins developed parallel to the axial plan of the folds.
The Fecteau Property is located within the Urban-BarryGreenstone Belt and covers rocks of similar age and composition tothose hosting the intrusive complex of Osisko Mining’s Windfall LakeDeposit.

Exploration Update
At the end of 2022, Clarity drilled a total of 5833m in 15 holesacross 7 targets on the Fecteau Property. These targets included VMStype targets and orogenic gold type targets which were generated fromgeological, geophysical, geochemical and till surveys recentlycompleted on the property as well as compilations of past work.Drilling was carried out with 2 rigs supplied by RJLL Drilling withtechnical support from GL Geoservices.
-
FEC-22-01 and 02 tested Target 1B (Au and basemetals)
-
FEC-22-03, 05, 07, 13, and 15 tested Target 6 (FecteauEast or Soquem gold showing)
-
FEC-22-04 tested Target 1D (Au and basemetals)
-
FEC-22-06 tested the Plunge base metalsshowing
-
FEC-22-08 and 10 tested Target area 1A (Au and basemetals)
-
FEC-22-09 and 11 tested Fecteau Nord or Noranda basemetals showing
-
FEC-22-12 and 14 tested the Porphyre goldshowing
The highest grade gold intercepts were in hole FEC-22-05 and FEC-22-13at the Fecteau East showing. The most prominent structure wasencountered in FEC-22-14 which intersected 0.80m of 1.08 g/t Au at thePorphyre showing. Drill holes into the VMS targets successfullyintercepted exhalative material containing disseminated to locallymassive sulphides and returned anomalous Cu and Zn values in holesFEC-22-04 and FEC-22-09. A total of 1360 samples were submitted tothe lab, results are summarized in table 1. The Property has fullcoverage with triaxial airborne magnetic response.

QA/QC
Drill core was quick logged before being shipped to a logging facilityin Rouyn-Noranda. Samples of half core were then shipped to BureauVeritas in Timmins, Ontario (ISO/IEC 17025:2017) for analysis by aquaregia digest with an ICP-Es finish (AQ300) and fire assay for gold(FA430) as well as a metallic screen fire assay for gold resultsexceeding 2 g/t (FS652). Standards, blanks and lab duplicates wereadded to the sample stream at regular intervals.
