Gatling Identifies Multiple New Drill Targets at the Larder Gold Project, Ontario

VANCOUVER, BC /  September 1, 2020 / GATLING EXPLORATION INC. (TSXV:GTR)(OTCQX:GATGF) (the "Company" or "Gatling) is pleased to announce that it has completed its detailed analysis of magnetic and Lidar surveys and has generated multiple new structural targets for drill testing. A total of 5 high-priority target areas have been identified, including potential extensions to the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break (CLLB), which hosts Gatling's three existing, high-grade gold deposits, as well as areas that have not seen any prior exploration. The analysis has also provided further definition in the Kir Vit area, 6 kilometers north of the CLLB, where the Company recently discovered two new gold trends and hit mineralization in thirteen holes (see Gatling news release dated March 2, 2020).
 
News Highlights
 
New Structural Targets Identified for Future Drill Testing. Several new structural targets, interpreted as secondary faults, have been identified adjacent to the CLLB. These secondary faults are coincident with surface gold anomalies and lithological contacts and have not been previously drill tested (Figures 1 & 2).

In addition, Kir Vit gold anomalies from drill and surface samples (Figure 4) have now been correlated with a detailed structural fabric defined by a 1 m resolution elevation model extracted from the Lidar data (Figure 5). This new correlation exhibits the initial NW-SE main trend as well as multiple oblique and cross cutting structures that will be followed up with.
