NEWS!! Vancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / April 25, 2019 - Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC, OTC: PACXF) (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to announce the completion of a high resolution airborne magnetic survey at Pacton's Red Lake property in Ontario. A total of 2,957 line kilometers at a 50 meter line spacing was flown by Prospectair of Gatineau, Quebec. Initial survey results indicate multiple areas of interest in the form of prominent linear structures containing small-to-large scale folding and faulting (Figure 1 and Figure 2). This type of geological structure has the potential to host high-grade gold mineralization as proven by mineralized zones elsewhere on Pacton's land package, as well as major gold deposits in the Red Lake district.
Next phase of exploration work: With the survey complete, the Company is set to begin an initial field exploration program. This will include following up on historical sampling, gold showings, trenching and diamond drilling, along with the geophysical survey and soil sampling. The follow-up ground program will assist with the identification of D2 structures, mafic contacts and folds as identified by the magnetic survey. The combination of mafic to felsic contacts on Pacton's main Red Lake property and on the adjoining Dixie Lake project to the southeast are obvious exploration priorities. (Figure 2). Drilling of multiple priority targets is anticipated to begin late summer.
Dale Ginn, Executive Chairman commented, "The recent, significant exploration success near Pacton's Red Lake project was achieved by focusing on specific geological structures that include high-iron mafic rocks and D2 related folding and faulting. Our recent survey has successfully established the presence of all these components at our project and identified their locations. We are now in a position to commence targeted field exploration activity that will culminate in a drill program."
Further survey details: The central-west area of the property, mapped as basalt, demonstrates numerous east-west D2 fault structures that appear to be axial planar to repetitive folding (see inset Figure 1and Figure 2). Historical trench and surface sample results from the Boyden Lake showings appear to lie along an east-west D2 fault that bisects folding to the west, within or near mapped basalt units. Limited geochemical data is available, however MNDM lake sediment sampling in the area plot as basalts, as well, geochemistry plots of the Confederation Assemblage units do exhibit the presence of high iron tholeiite basalt (see Figure 2). Within the Confederation units, Pacton will prioritize targets that exhibit the confluence of high iron basalts, D2 faulting through folding, and historical sampling and workings. Exploration within the Balmer units of Pacton's landholdings primarily concentrated on the northeastern quadrant bordering Newmont, will focus on similar settings having already been established by the nearby extensive gold production.

Pacton Gold – A Good Time To Go Bullish On It, If Not Already
Pacton Gold (TSX.V: PAC.V) (OTC: PACXF) so far has had a good week, thanks to the continuous flow of announcements from the company. Along with these positive announcements, the marginal recovery in the gold price has also likely encouraged the investors to show their love for Pacton.
Announcements from Pacton Gold
On Monday, Pacton Gold announced another acquisition to further grow its portfolio in the Western Australia Pilbara region. The company announced that it entered into a binding letter of intent to buy conglomerate gold rights from Calidus Resources Limited. It is another significant acquisition for Pacton as Calidus previously has recovered nuggets near to the mapped conglomerate.
“Securing the conglomerate gold rights over this significant portfolio of tenements from Calidus further consolidates Pacton’s position in the Pilbara region of Western Australia,” said Pacton’s Interim President and CEO – Alec Pismiris.
On Tuesday, Pacton Gold came up another announcement of appointing Allan J. Folk and Alec Pismiris as directors. “They both have extensive experience in the mining sector and capital markets and are ideal candidates for moving Pacton forward,” said Dominic Verdejo, Chairman of the Board.
Folk has more than 35 years of experience in the Canadian mining finance space. He has worked at senior positions for both junior and advanced Canadian companies. Folk, who is currently the Vice President of Brant Securities, is also a director of Bonterra Resources and Monarca Minerals, and the Chairman of Atlanta Gold.
Similarly, Pismiris have over 30 years of experience in the securities, finance and mining industries. Currently, he is the director of many ASX listed companies. He is the founding shareholder and director of Cardinal Resources Limited, which found the Ghana’s Namdini Gold Project.
Expect positive movement in gold prices
In addition to these announcements, a marginal recovery in the gold prices has also helped in pushing the stock up this week. However, it remains to be seen if the yellow metal is able to retain this movement and continue the move up. At the time of this writing, things were not looking well for the gold as it was dropping again following an uptick in the dollar.
Going ahead, however, there are good chances that we may see the gold prices to rally. Several emerging countries and governments, which are at some level of war against the US, are stocking gold to lower their dependence on the dollar. Several countries are selling dollars fearing unpredictable diplomatic actions from Trump administration.
At the end of June, Philippines, for instance, had 196.4 tons of gold, an increase of 20% from 2010. Similarly, Indonesia has raised its gold holdings by 10% during the same period. Russia, which is facing U.S. economic sanctions, is consistently boosting its gold holdings, which is now the fifth biggest among the world’s central banks. At the end of June, Russian central bank had 1,944 tons of gold, up 6% since the end of 2017.
Iran too is witnessing a rise in gold purchases. During the first half of the year, sales of bullion and coins in the country have almost tripled from the same period last year, according to the data from the World Gold Council. Moreover, analysts expect these countries to continue with their gold buying.
Even the US dollar is expected to lose its strength going ahead. “Currently, the U.S. economy is in very good shape because of the positive effects of the tax cuts, but the time will come when the U.S. will face negative consequences of the measure,” Itsuo Toshima, a market analyst, told Nikkie Asian Review.
Conclusion
Demand for gold from these countries, and the expected uncertainty in the US economy will be good for gold prices and gold stocks. And, Pacton Gold with its impressive portfolio and robust management team is poised well to benefit from this.

Quality Stock At A Discount
Pacton Gold: original article
Pacton Gold (TSX.V: PAC.V) (OTC: PACXF) has been pretty active in terms of its operational activities. Since the start of the year, the gold mining company has made several strategic moves, including the acquisition of key properties, raising funds and addition of key shareholder.
Pacton has acquired several key properties in Western Australia’s Pilbara Gold Rush. The Pilbara Gold Rush started last year in July after Artemis Resources and Novo Resources found near-surface conglomerate-hosted gold nuggets. By November, the region attracted as many two dozen resource companies.
“The Pilbara Region of Western Australia is one of the most resource-rich areas in Australia and there has been very little exploration at depth,” said David Lenigas – Artemis’ Executive Chairman.
Further, the Pilbara Gold Rush also attracted major players like Kirkland Lake Gold and kingmaker Eric Sprott, who has reportedly acquired a stake in many companies operating in the region (including Pacton Gold). The backing of Sprott in itself is a big reason to go bullish on any company. He is a “long-time gold bull,” who advised investors to buy gold before the financial disaster in 2008.
In Pacton, Sprott owns about 10.1% of the outstanding common shares giving him control over 18.4% of the company. So, the billionaire has a significant interest in Pacton’s success. Many see the involvement of Sprott and other big names in the Pilbara Gold Rush as sort of a guarantee for big returns.
“What has really attracted me to the Pilbara region is the involvement of Eric Sprott and Kirkland Lake, whose shareholders include heavies such as Van Eck, Fidelity and Oppenheimer,” long-time gold stock analyst and founder of Gold Stocks Trade – Jeb Handwerger told INN.
Pacton Gold, on its end, is continuing to build its portfolio. Last week, the company entered into another binding letter of intent to acquire Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie exploration licenses and mining leases from Gardner Mining. “The acquisition of the Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie Gold Projects provides a significant increase in the scale of exposure to the Pilbara region both in relation to conglomerate and structurally controlled gold systems,” said Pacton’s Interim President and CEO – Alec Pismiris.
And, it is not that the company is blindly picking up the properties. Instead, it is making sure that the assets that it acquiring are productive enough to help it meet its goals. Last week, the company announced that it is terminating its agreement with Marindi Metals (signed a few months back) following the “outcome of its due diligence investigations.”
Though the company is showing no signs of slowing, its stock has been dropping since last week or so. There are two reasons for it. First is the profit booking as Pacton’s stock (despite shedding over 27% in last five days) is up over 400% in last one-year and over 70% YTD. Second reason is the uncertainty over the gold prices, which breached the psychologically important $1,200 level earlier this week.
However, both these reasons do not hold for the long-term investors. Pacton has a robust portfolio of properties, and thus, offers more upside potential. And, gold, which has always been a safe haven, will regain its shine sooner or later. So, the recent drop must be seen as opportunity to get a quality stock at a discount.
Pacton Gold Announces Plans To Purchase Two Granted Mining Lease.
Pacton Gold: (PAC:TSX-V) (OTCMKTS:PACXF) has revealed that it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to buy out two granted mining leases from an Australian limited exploration firm called Gardner Mining Pty Ltd.
As per the Letter of Intent, Pacton Gold plans to acquire 100 percent of Boodalyerrie and Yandicoogina mining leases and exploration licenses from the Australian firm. The acquisition is part of the company’s plan to boost its property portfolio in the Pilbara mining region in Western Australia as through the acquisition of the two strategic properties. The purchase deal is also courtesy of a strong relationship between the two companies through the acquisition of Friendly Creek.
As per the deal, the three exploration licenses and two granted mining leases will cover an area of roughly f 146.80 square kilometers. The Yandicoogina Project has a prospective strike of around 4.7 km which is defined by quartz veins that are structurally controlled and were previously home to work related to gold.
“The acquisition of the Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie Gold Projects provides a significant increase in the scale of exposure to the Pilbara region both in relation to conglomerate and structurally controlled gold systems,” stated Pacton Gold’s acting president and CEO, Alec Pismiris.
Pismiris also pointed out that the high-quality nature of gold mineralization which is structurally controlled throughout the extensive length of the strike between the two projects makes it a high-value acquisition. He also added that his firm is eager to join forces with the Gardner team as they kick off the launch of the exploration programs within the projects.
The projects are characterized by impressive output
Rock samples taken from the Yandicoogina Project have demonstrated a range as high as 199.7 g/t Au. Meanwhile, the Boodalyerrie Project is covered by roughly 25 square kilometers of silica altered granite and sericite with broad quartz veining. This makes the project a considerable target size.
As for the highlights of the deal, it will feature three granted exploration licenses and two granted mining leases which will cover a total of 146 square kilometers. The leases will pave the way for immediate bulk sampling of mineralization over the area covered and this will also be done on a large scale.
The new leases are the latest addition to Pacton’s portfolio which also consists of 5 other granted mining leases that the company secured from the Friendly Creek deal which was announced towards the end of May this year. The 2.3 km of strike in the Boodalyerrie Project is between the Mount Roe Basalt and the Hardey Formation.
Pacton Gold’s stock performance
Pacton’s acquisition of the two leases is great news for investors because it strengthens its portfolio and promises strong returns in the future. Following the announcement, Pacton’s stock dipped from $0.54 on the opening of Tuesday’s trading session and reached a low of 0.47 on Wednesday before recovering past the $0.50 mark. The price of the stock at the time of this press was $0.51. The company expects the lease acquisitions to contribute towards better performance in the future.
Pacton Gold (PAC.V) (PACXF) Up Almost 500% in Past One-Year
Pacton Gold (PAC.V) (PACXF) Up Almost 500% in Past One-Year
Pacton Gold (TSX.V: PAC.V) (OTC: PACXF) stock has had a decent run over the past one-year or so. The stock is up over 70% in the last three months, over 90% year-to-date and almost 500% in past one-year. Despite such an impressive show, the stock doesn’t seem to be slowing down and has more to offer to the investors, i.e., it can still unlock more value for the investors. And, every now and then, the management proves that investors must continue their trust in the stock.
Pacton Gold, who has already acquired quite a few important properties on Western Australia’s Pilbara Mining Region, on Tuesday, announced entering into a deal to acquire the Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie exploration licenses and mining leases from Gardner Mining Pty Ltd. The transaction gives Pacton two granted mining leases and three granted exploration licenses.
“The acquisition of the Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie Gold Projects provides a significant increase in the scale of exposure to the Pilbara region both in relation to conglomerate and structurally controlled gold systems. The high-grade nature of structurally controlled gold mineralisation across an extensive strike length between the two Projects provides a compelling value proposition,” said Alec Pismiris – Interim President and CEO of Pacton Gold.
Presently, Pacton Gold controls the third largest land package in the Pilbara region. The well-funded company continues to grow its portfolio with accretive acquisition. Pacton’s land holdings have even attracted Eric Sprott, a Canadian billionaire businessman. Sprott owns 10.1% of the outstanding common shares in the company.
Involvement of Sprott is itself a big enough reason to go bullish on the company. And, Sprott has not only invested in Pacton, but also in other companies involved in Pilbara region. The billionaire investor is a major investor in Novo Resource as well.
“What has really attracted me to the Pilbara region is the involvement of Eric Sprott and Kirkland Lake, whose shareholders include heavies such as Van Eck, Fidelity and Oppenheimer. This is an early-stage discovery, but the involvement of a company like Kirkland Lake—which has been one of the top gold mining stories in recent years—speaks highly of its potential,” Jeb Handwerger – a long-time gold stock analyst and founder of Gold Stocks Trade, told INN.
Apart from Sprott, another reason to go bullish on Pacton is the encouraging outlook on the gold prices. Though the prices are struggling now, experts believe a bullish wave is around the corner. Over the last six months, the spot gold prices have dropped by 9% with the yellow metal trading around the $1200 level.
However, there are voices that the prices would soon inch towards the $1,370 mark. This prediction comes from Boris Mikanikrezai – precious metals analyst as Metal Bulletin, who cited excessively stretched gold’s spec positioning on the short side as an evidence.
“In the second half of the year, I expect a strong rally in gold prices and gold-mining equities as the macro backdrop for the precious metals complex should prove more positive,” said Mikanikrezai.
So, one can easily understand that when Pacton Gold’s (TSX.V: PAC.V) (OTC: PACXF) stock has gained so much during the period of falling gold prices, it should skyrocket when the prices are favorable.

Pacton Gold, Inc. (OTC:PACXF) is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker (TSXV:PAC.VN). Earlier the company announced breaking news that, "it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI"), whereby it can earn up to an 80% ownership interest in Arrow (Pilbara) Pty Ltd ("Arrow Pilbara"), an Australian proprietary limited exploration company wholly owned by Arrow Minerals Limited (ASX:AMD) ("Arrow"). Arrow Pilbara holds two granted tenement licences and two applications for licences, comprising of a total of 609 km2 (the "Property"). The large Property is situated in the eastern part of the currently defined part of Western Australia's Pilbara gold play that is characterized by thick gold nugget-bearing conglomerate beds of the Archean age Mallina Basin. Highlights of the Transaction:
-- Strategic land holdings totaling 609 km2, with recent discovery of gold nuggets from outcropping conglomerates. Nuggets 5 to 10 mm in size have been discovered on the Property.
-- Seven conglomerate gold targets have been identified with characteristicradiometric anomalies;
-- Directly adjacent and proximal to key exploration properties controlled by Novo Resources Corp., De Grey Mining Ltd., and Kairos Minerals Ltd.;
-- Gold anomalies identified along structures which host gold mineralization on adjacent properties.
Alec Pismiris, Interim President and CEO of Pacton Gold stated, "We are pleased to be able to partner with the Arrow Minerals team, who have been able to assemble a significant portfolio of advanced gold projects with excellent prospectivity that will provide key exploration and discovery upside for the shareholders of Pacton. Pacton's Pilbara gold project is fast becoming one of the most significant in the Pilbara region."
The Property comprises two exploration licences and two exploration licence applications covering 609 km2 of ground prospective for conglomerate-hosted gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (refer to location map). The licences cover various parts of the prospective contact between the older Pilbara granite-greenstone terrain and the overlying Fortescue Group rocks in the East Pilbara region, including areas close to and adjoining licences held by Novo Resources Corp. (refer to location map).
Arrow confirms that prospectors have recently uncovered several gold nuggets inconglomerate units in the Mallina Basin on exploration license E47/3476. Geological and prospecting information on the Property has been provided by Arrow, which the Company has reviewed and believes to be reliable.
