McFarlane Lake Mining Limited announced the addition of four additional claims on its High Lake property (40 kilometres west of Kenora, Ontario) extending its property position in an area with known gold zones and their extensions in the northwest of the current property package. The claims increase McFarlane's land position at High Lake from 584.82 to 626.00 hectares. These claims are strategically important as they fill in a gap on the western part of McFarlane's property, which hosts the extension of both the D and R zones and provides access and expansion opportunities for the A, B and C Zones.

The addition of these new claims will allow for expansion of the known zones and potential new discoveries along projections of the mineralizing trend. Prior to adding these claims, exploration would have been limited in this highly prospective area. By having these additional claims, much deeper diamond drilling exploration can occur, increasing McFarlane's ability to explore at depth.

Deeper drilling has proven to add significant gold resources elsewhere on the property at the Purdex zone.
