Toronto, Ontario, December 6, 2023 – New Break Resources Ltd. (“New Break” or the “Company”) (CSE: NBRK) is pleased to report that the results from rock chip and grab samples taken from the Sundog Gold Project in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut (“Sundog”) have identified new gold bearing structures on the property, with half of the eight samples taken grading over 7.5 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) as shown in the following table:

The samples were taken in September 2023, by a New Break field team comprised of Ken Reading, Shaun Parent, P. Geo. of Superior Exploration Ltd. and a field assistant, who confirmed access to the project area and assessed the impact of environmental changes since Reading’s last visit to the property in 2013. New Break was able to reproduce a high-grade gold assay from trench 10 and most importantly, the team was able to identify previously unknown gold bearing structures adjacent to trenches 10 and 29, extending the known extent of those mineralized zones.
Ken Reading originally visited Sundog on behalf of Abermin Corporation (“Abermin”) in the summers of 1986 and 1987. During the 1987 exploration program, 38 trenches were excavated and mapped by Reading with 27 of those sampled. The trench references in this news release refer to those 1987 locations, which are shown in Figure 1 below.
