VANCOUVER, Oct. 2, 2019 /CNW/ - Strategic Resources Inc.
(TSXV: SR) (the "Company" or "Strategic") is pleased to
announce drill results from the last five holes (704 metres) of its
Phase 1 diamond drill program at the Akanvaara project in
Finland.
Holes AK19-05 and AK19-06 stepped out down dip on previous
intercepts and hole AK19-07 extended known mineralization along
strike in the western zone. The mineralized zone defined so far is
approximately 25 metres thick and generally dips at 45 degrees to
the southeast. It demonstrates remarkable consistency at a 0.3%
V2O5 cut-off grade.
The eastern offset zone was tested with holes AK19-08 and
AK19-09 and exhibits a thicker zone of high-grade mineralization
above a 0.5% V2O5 cut-off grade. The overall
intercepts above the 0.3% V2O5 cut-off grade
appear to be thinner than the western zone.
Reported intercepts occur in a magnetite gabbro layer within
which mineralization occurs as massive, semi-massive and
disseminated magnetite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. Vanadium grades
are zoned, with the highest grades occurring towards the bottom of
this layer. This initial drill program has confirmed consistent
mineralization over a 3-kilometre strike length and up to a
vertical depth of 250 metres below surface. The vanadium bearing
horizon remains open along strike and to depth.
Preliminary results for initial magnetic separation testing
(Davis Tube) on 45 higher grade samples from the first seven holes
have returned positive results. Further testing and concentrate
optimization studies are being planned for the next phase of
drilling.
At Strategic's Silasselkä Project, the Company plans to commence
its Phase 1 drilling in Q4 2019.

Note:
Intervals in the reported holes are
calculated using a cut-off of 0.3% and 0.5% (for high-grade
inclusive intervals) V2O5 with maximum
internal
dilution of 1.0 continuous metre. Sampling is on intervals between
1.0 and 2.0-metre intervals. The highest V2O5
value used in the reported weighted
averages is 0.975% V2O5. In addition to the
above results there were multiple intercepts of lower-grade
material in the drill holes.

Quality Assurance
All Strategic sample assay results have been monitored through a
quality control / quality assurance ("QA/QC") program including the
insertion of blind standards, blanks and pulp and reject duplicate
samples. Logging and sampling are completed at Magnus Mineral's
facility located in Sodankylä, Finland. Drill core is sawn in half and half
drill-core samples are securely transported to ALS Lab's sample
preparation facility in Sodankylä, Finland. Sample pulps are sent to Galway,
Ireland for analysis. Vanadium,
titanium and iron content is determined by lithium borate fusion
and XRF finish. ALS Labs is independent from Strategic. Strategic
is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors
that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the
data referred to herein.
