Empire Metals Corp. announced that nine additional mineral cell claims have been staked and added to Empire's Gwyn Lake Gold Project in the Thunder Bay Mining Division, Ontario. These new mineral cell claims are immediately adjacent to Empire's existing Gwyn Lake Gold Project mineral cell claims and connect and add to two of Empire Metal's previously separated blocks of mineral cell claims. Exploration at Gwyn Lake targets gold within gold-bearing banded iron formations. The nine additional mineral cell claims have been staked as a possible extension of the known gold-bearing banded iron formation. The Gwyn Lake Gold Project is now comprised of 90 mineral cell claims totaling 1,492 hectares. A portion of Empire's Gwyn Lake Gold Project is subject to a 1% NSR in favour of the vendor.
