Visible Gold Mines

Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, Canada – June 5, 2019 – Visible Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV :VGD) (FRANKFURT:3V41) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two prospectors (the “Vendors”) to acquire a 100% ownership interest in the 108 mining claims comprising the Horsefly gold property (the “Horsefly Property”), which is covering approximately 6,050 hectares (60.5 km²). The Horsefly Property is located in the Druillettes and Gradis townships, approximately 50 kilometres south of the town of Chapais in the province of Québec.

The Horsefly property is centrally located within a highly prospective area of the Chapais- Chibougamau gold-copper camp, an area currently experiencing extensive mineral exploration. The Horsefly Property contains several gold showings and is strategically located over anastomosing regional structures associated with recent gold mineralization discoveries the most recent one being on the Nelligan property held by Vanstar and IAMGOLD Corporation located east of the Horsefly Property (see Vanstar’s press releases dated May 30, 2019, January 10, 2019 and November 16, 2018).

In addition, these same anastomosing regional structures over which the Horsefly Property occurs host several gold mines and deposits which include the: Lac Short Mine and Fenton Deposit to the west, the Joe Mann Mine and Philibert Deposit to the east and the Chevrier Deposit to the northeast.

Martin Dallaire, President and CEO of Visible Gold Mines stated, “with this important Vanstar/Iamgold discovery on the Nelligan property, we firmly believe that this region has the potential to become a very active mining camp, in which Visible Gold Mines will be well positioned with its Horsefly and Hazeur projects in proximity”.
