Maple Gold Mines Ltd. announce that induced polarization ("IP") work recently commenced at Douay, with the aim of establishing new high-grade discovery targets during the first quarter. One area prospective for new higher grade discoveries is located approximately 6km NE of the Douay deposit's 531 Zone. Several chargeability anomalies were defined during a 2019 IP survey, including a broad northern anomaly (the "North IP Target") about 3km long within the same package of rocks as the recently closed Vezza Mine (located only 12km east of the Douay property limit). Discovering new high-grade lenses of mineralisation within the Company's greater property package has the potential to contribute significantly to conceptual mining scenarios and the Company has therefore earmarked funds for initial scout drilling in the event favourable results are obtained from the infill IP work (7 lines) at the North IP Target. Three test lines will also be undertaken in the 531 Zone area.
