Gatling Accelerates Drill Program; Adds 3rd Drill to Test 4.5 km Mineralized Trend at Larder Gold Project, Ontario

VANCOUVER, Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - GATLING EXPLORATION INC. (TSXV: GTR, OTCQX: GATGF) (the "Company" or "Gatling") is pleased to announce that it is adding a third drill to its 35,000 meter drill program at the Larder Gold Project (Figure 1). The additional drill rig will focus on two important goals: potential extensions of high-grade mineralization near surface at the Fernland deposit and also testing the continuity of mineralization between Fernland and Cheminis to establish a 4.5 kilometer strike length across the three deposits (Figure 2). Recent drill results have already confirmed the continuity of 2.5 kilometers of mineralization between the Bear and Cheminis deposits (see Gatling news release dated October 15, 2019).

Larder Gold Project Highlights

• Accelerated Push for Continuity of 4.5 kilometer Mineralized Trend. Gatling considers the Fernland, Cheminis and Bear deposits to be part of one, large mineralized system with a strike length of 4.5 kilometers. Multiple drill holes from the ongoing 35,000 meter drill program have now established continuity over 2.5 kilometers of strike length by connecting the Cheminis and Bear deposits. Drilling will continue to test the continuity of mineralization over 4.5 kilometers using a minimum of three drills.
• Historical Exploration at Fernland. More than 20,000 meters have been drilled historically at Fernland, establishing gold mineralization near surface and up to 850 meters depth. Historic drill results include 22.2 g/t Au over 1.8 meters in FL-98-5 and 7.6 g/t Au over 1.8 meters in FL-99-40 (Figure 2). In 1938, a shaft was sunk at Fernland to a depth of 547 feet with three levels where two mineralized gold zones were outlined. The historic drilling at Fernland is not included in the historic resource estimates for the Larder project.
• Recent High-Grade Surface Sampling at Fernland. Gatling has collected numerous surface grab samples at the Larder Gold project including samples at Fernland within the South Flow zone returning values of 7.9 g/t Au and 3.5 g/t Au. These results confirm historical sampling at the Fernland deposit.
