PORTOFINO RESOURCES INC. (POR: TSX-V) (POTA: FSE) (“Portofino” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that its exploration crew has mobilized to site and commenced exploration work on its South of Otter property located in the Red Lake mining district. The first phase of Portofino’s 2020 exploration program consists of approximately 25-line kilometers (“km”) of ground VLF/EM geophysics and soil geochemistry surveys. The program’s objective is to delineate mineralized structures related to past gold and base metal discoveries in the region and outline targets for follow-up trenching and drilling. Multiple gold, copper and zinc deposits and prospects have been discovered both immediately to the north and immediately to the south of the property claim boundaries. The 5,120 hectares (South of Otter) property is contained within the Birch-Uchi-Confederation Lakes greenstone belt which hosts the world-renowned Red Lake gold deposits and includes the Dixie project currently being drilled by Great Bear Resources Ltd. (“GBR”). GBR has recently reported exciting drill results with mineralized intersections commonly returning bonanza gold grades in association with coarse visible gold grains. Portofino’s property is located approximately 8 km east of GBR’s claims. The South of Otter property is also within 6 km of BTU Metals Corp. (“BTU”). BTU reported recent drilling success including an assay result of 44.3 meters of 1.14% copper equivalent with intervals containing as much as 5.56% copper, 99.6 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver and 2 g/t gold. The Portofino property contains excellent targets for both Red Lake-style gold mineralization as well as gold bearing base metal prospects. Historical work on the claims included prospecting, sampling, limited drilling, and airborne magnetic geophysical surveys. Drilling results included a gold bearing assay yielding 0.25% copper and 1.25% zinc over 2 meters completed by BP Resources Canada Ltd. in 1986. RED LAKE DISTRICT: SOUTH OF OTTER PROJECT The South of Otter property is located approximately 40 kilometres (“km”) southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario and within 10 km east of Great Bear Resources (“GBR”) Dixie Lake property. GBR has recently reported high grade gold drill results with mineralized intersections commonly returning bonanza gold grades in association with coarse visible gold grains. The Portofino claims with their proximity to the Dixie property are believed to contain excellent targets for Red Lake-style gold mineralization. Historical work on the claims includes prospecting, sampling and some diamond drilling. Two historic operators, Goldcorp and Tri Origins, compiled a significant amount of geophysical data that mapped out structures within the South of Otter claims.
