"Fredriksson Gruva is a very exciting shallow exploration drilling target" stated
Historical data at Fredriksson Gruva demonstrates silver-lead-zinc mineralized zones form a moderately east plunging fold geometry that is open in all directions (Figure 1). Test mining from an open pit where these zones reach the surface produced 21,000 tonnes grading 53 g/t silver, 5.13% zinc, and 1.7% lead2. Subsequent underground mining production down to 91 meters produced and additional 45,000 tonnes grading 49 g/t silver, 5.77% zinc, 1.84% lead1.
Fredriksson Gruva Diamond Drilling
Initial diamond drilling at Fredriksson Gruva consists of a 4-hole, ~700m test below the historical workings where a recent 3D geological modeling initiative including surface and subsurface lithology, structure and assay data demonstrates that silver-zinc-lead mineralization extends to approximately 400 meters depth. Mining at Fredriksson Gruva removed ore from a surface pit and from underground levels to approximately 120 meters down-dip (75 vertical meters from surface) and demonstrates that mineralization ranges between 3 and 10 meters in thickness. The goal of the initial drilling at Fredriksson Gruva is to confirm the silver-zinc-lead grades and to test the vertical and lateral continuity of mineralization.

Forward–looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to future outlook and anticipated events, such as the successful completion of the Private Placement or the anticipated use of proceeds of the Private Placement by the Company. Although Norden Crown believes the expectations expressed in such forward–looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results or realities may differ materially from those in the forward–looking statements. Such material risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, Norden Crown's ability to raise sufficient capital to maintain its mineral tenures and concessions in good standing, to explore and develop its projects, to repay its debt and for general working capital purposes; changes in economic conditions or financial markets; the ability of Norden Crown to obtain the necessary permits and consents required to explore, drill and develop the projects and if obtained, to obtain such permits and consents in a timely fashion relative to Norden Crown plans and business objectives for the projects; the general ability of Norden Crown to drill test its projects and find mineral resources; if any mineral resources are discovered or acquired, the Company's ability to monetize any such mineral resources; and changes in environmental and other laws or regulations that could have an impact on the Company's operations. Forward–looking statements are based on the reasonable beliefs, estimates and opinions of Norden Crown management on the date the statements are made.
