Copper Lake Stakes the Sollas Lake Property and Provides Update on Private Placement


TORONTO, May 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CPL, Frankfurt: W0I) ("Copper Lake" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its activities, including the 100% owned Sollas Lake Property.

Sollas Lake Property

In the summer of 2018, the Company staked additional property as part of a program to expand the Company’s interests with a focus on creating a regional play. The Sollas Lake Property currently consists of 20 claim cells comprising an area of 4.1 square km, is accessible year round by road, and is located east of and adjoins (abuts) the Company’s 75%-owned advanced exploration Marshall Lake Property in the Central Wabigoon Subprovince. The Sollas Lake Property is 100% owned by the Company and is not subject to any royalties or encumbrances.

The geology of the property is contiguous with the favourable felsic volcanic hosts as seen at Marshall Lake with historical drilling having intersected zones of massive sulphides hosted within favourable host rocks and alteration. Historical EM airborne geophysical surveys have outlined strong conductors on the property hosted within the same favourable felsic volcanic units.  Since staking the property, the Company has been reviewing available local, regional and historic information and have identified promising targets for both gold and base metals exploration. The next step will be to undertake field exploration and generate drill target locations.
