Marvel Completes 9 Holes at Blackfly, Intersecting Visible Gold Again
Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSXV:MARV) has reported progress on its Blackfly Gold Project in northwestern Ontario. Since drilling began on June 24, 2021, nine diamond drill holes have been completed, reaching a total of 1,116.25m. Notable findings include visible gold in multiple drill holes, particularly in the Blackfly Northeast Zone and a newly discovered Mosquito Zone. The project, originally discovered in 1897, is located near significant gold deposits. A total of 456 samples have been submitted for analysis, indicating ongoing exploration potential.
- Drilling has encountered visible gold in multiple holes, suggesting strong mineralization.
- Confirmation of four sub-parallel gold mineralization trends indicates significant exploration potential.
- Strong historical context with original discovery made in 1897 enhances project credibility.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 3, 2021 / Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSXV:MARV)(Frankfurt:O4T1)OTCQB:MARVF); ("Marvel" or the "Company") is pleased to report on its drilling progress on the Blackfly Gold Project in the Atikokan mining camp of northwestern Ontario. Drilling commenced on June 24th with 9 diamond drills completed to date for 1,116.25m. Drilling has concentrated around the historical shaft area with 4 holes drilled at the Blackfly Northeast Zone. Hole BF19-21 encountered a quartz vein with galena and minor chalcopyrite and several specks of VG at 39.3m, hosted within sheared and strongly bleached diorite (Figure 1).

Visible gold was also noted in BF21-15 which targeted a newly discovered zone (Mosquito Zone) 100m southwest of the main Black fly Zone. Discovered by mapping and sampling in 2021, VG was noted at a downhole depth of only 8m.
Mr. Karim Rayani, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Visible gold is always a very good indicator in drill core when finding it in multiple holes. The geological team reports that holes completed to date all look visually encouraging with quartz-veining, mineralization, alteration and shearing. Our first hole into mineralization discovered during our 2021 sampling and mapping program also reported VG. To date we now have four sub-parallel gold mineralization trends that have been confirmed by drilling."
Drilling to Date
To date 9 diamond drill holes have been completed totaling 1,116.25m (Table 1) (Figure 2). Hole BF21-18A hit a fault and had to be completed as BF21-18B.

To date 456 samples including QAQC insertions have been submitted to the lab for analyses. Channel and surface samples from the 2021 mapping and sampling are also pending. Hole BF21-20 was drilled at the Blackfly Northeast zone where TerraX Minerals Inc. intersected 10.96 g/t Au over 2.0m in 2011. Hole BF21-20 encountered strong ankerite-silica-pyrite+/-sericite altered diorite with galena in several quartz veins.

Marvel's Blackfly Gold Project
The Property is located in the developing Atikokan gold mining camp along and within the Marmion Lake Fault Zone, approximately 13.6 kilometers ("km") southwest along strike of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Gold Deposit.
Assessment file records indicate that the original Blackfly gold discovery was made in 1897, making the occurrence one of the earliest found in the Atikokan gold mining camp. The project's 45-foot shaft was sunk in 1898 shortly after gold was discovered.
