TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2024 / McFarlane Lake Mining Limited (NEO:MLM) ("McFarlane Lake" or "the Company"), a Canadian gold exploration and development company, today announces that it has been granted an exploration permit from the Ontario Ministry of Mines, for its McMillan Mine property located approximately 70 kilometers east of Sudbury, Ontario (See Figure 1).

The permit allows the Company to conduct exploration activities including line-cutting, geophysical surveys and diamond drilling. McFarlane is currently planning for its initial diamond drilling program of 3,000 meters.
On September 10, 2024, the company announced results of surface sampling at the historic McMillan Mine property which returned an assay of 87.4 gpt gold and 0.59% copper (see release Sept 10, 2024). The presence of polymetallic gold-copper mineralization at the McMillan Mine presents an opportunity to add significant value to the property and will be tested during the upcoming drill program.
Field preparations for drilling will begin in September with drilling anticipating to start in November continuing into the first quarter of 2025. The drilling is planned to confirm and expand on numerous historic high grade gold intercepts including 27.9 metres of 6.4 gpt gold containing 8.1 metres of 15.7 gpt gold (See Figure 2). Further details regarding the McMillan Mine property can be found on the Companies web site https://mcfarlanelakemining.com/properties/.
