Clarity Gold Reports High Grade Gold Intercepts, Including 39.29 g/t Au over 0.5 m
Vancouver, BC – December 2, 2021, Clarity Gold Corp. (“Clarity” or the “Company”) (CSE: CLAR, OTC: CLGCF, FSE: 27G) is pleased to announce the third tranche of analytical results from the approximately 10,800 meter diamond drill program at the Destiny Project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Selected Intercepts DAC Zone
DES21-164: 0.76 g/t Au over 36.65 m and 0.44 g/t Au over 55.9 m
DES21-169: 0.42 g/t Au over 43 m and 1.04 g/t Au over 14.45 m
DES21-170: 1.22 g/t Au over 30 m including 8.85 g/t Au over 2.55 m and 39.29 g/t Au over 0.5 m

Selected Intercepts Gap Zone
DES21-165: 0.32 g/t Au over 25.5 m and 0.34 g/t Au over 24 m
DES21-167: 1.32 g/t Au over 9.6 m including 5.05 g/t Au over 1.6 m
The results in this press release are from holes completed on the central portion of the DAC Zone and Gap Zone that were designed to infill and confirm the mineralized structure and anticipated mineralization identified in historic drilling. The results of this drilling will play an important role in understanding the distribution of mineralization.
“The results from this batch of diamond drill holes further confirm the presence of mineralization in the DAC Zone and western portions of the Gap Zone.” stated CEO, James Rogers. “These results will contribute to the ongoing understanding of the mineralized structure at Destiny while we continue to advance our flagship project.”
It should be noted that drill hole DES21-168, not mentioned herein was previously discussed in the News Release dated September 15th 2021. This describes in further detail the deepest drilled mineralized intersection yet encountered at the Destiny Project.
All drilling on the project mentioned in this disclosure have intercepted anomalous gold and confirmed the presence of the quartz carbonate altered and mineralized shear zone. Gold occurs as free gold and in association with pyrite and chalcopyrite as observed in thin section and in drill core.

The Company looks forward to updating further as additional results are received and as we continue to interpret these results as we evaluate bulk tonnage and high-grade models for the Destiny Project.
Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
Drill core is transported to a facility in Val d’Or where it is logged, photographed, and sampled. Once logging is complete, samples of half core are sawed, prepared and securely shipped to Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Timmins for processing and analysis, an independent, ISO 17025 certified facility. Samples were crushed to 70% passing 2mm and a 250g subsample was pulverized to 85% passing 75μm. The subsample was analyzed by a combination of fire assay with atomic absorption finish for gold and aqua regia digestion with an ICP-ES finish for a suite of 33 elements. Samples containing visible gold or which returned over 2.0 g/t Au were analyzed by metallic screen fire assay. The Company has established a QA/QC program consisting of inserting quality control (QC) samples at regular intervals in the sample stream, including blanks, duplicates, and reference materials.

Geo., a member of the advisory board and a consultant of the Company, is the Qualified Person (“QP”) under NI 43-101 for the technical information in this news release and has verified the data disclosed for the Destiny Project and approves the technical contents contained in this news release.
About the Company’s Flagship Destiny Project
Clarity Gold also anticipates additional results from their continued exploration efforts on the flagship Destiny Project. The company recently completed a 10,826 m drill campaign, with samples currently being processed by Bureau Veritas and are anticipated shortly.
- Option to acquire 100% ownership.
- Located in the historic, mineral rich Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
- Gold mineralization occurs in high-grade quartz veins within shear zones starting at 15 m below surface.
- Historic Drilling results include:
167 g/t Au over 1 m (from 221.7 m) 6.15 g/t Au over 23.6 m (from 117.2 m) 19.49 g/t Au over 2.7 m (from 166.0 m)- The Historical Estimate at the DAC Zone is open along strike with only coarse drilling denoting high grade intercepts outside of the 2011 Historical Estimate area showing expansion potential along strike from the DAC Zone over approximately 2.5 km to the Darla Zone.
- Excellent infrastructure – ~75 km NNE of Val d’Or with road access.
- Drilling on the property to date exceeds 60,000m
- The Company owns 100% of two private lots totaling approximately 82ha
The Destiny Project is located in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt where more than 190 million ounces of gold have been produced historically along major structural breaks within the assemblage of Archean-age volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks. The Destiny Project lies along the approximately 400 km long Chicobi Deformation Zone, a major structural break which is largely underexplored in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
The 5,013 ha project includes the DAC Zone, one of several gold zones along an approximately 6 km long segment of the Despinassy Shear Zone within the Chicobi Deformation Zone. Approximately 2.5 km east along strike of the DAC Zone is the Darla Zone. In between the Darla and DAC is the coarsely drilled GAP zone where 2012 drilling intercepted anomalous gold in all 12 holes which were spaced 100 m apart.
The current exploration potential is based on decades of past work on the Destiny Project. Exploration of the Destiny Project dates back to the 1930s. The first concerted diamond drilling campaign was conducted in 1998.
Previous work on the property can be summarized as follows:
- 172 Diamond drill holes comprising approximately 50,400 m
- Reconnaissance till sampling from 11 Sonic drill holes
- 2,430 MMI geochemical samples
- 982 line km of airborne VTEM surveys
- 171 line km of ground magnetics surveys
- 128 line km of IP
