Phase 5 Drill Program

Highlights include:
  • Hole KW-24-017 intercepted 30.72 g/t gold over 5.70 meters, including its highest-ever intercept of 313.00 g/t over 0.55 meters (Table 1).
  • Hole KW-24-024 intercepted 8.93 g/t gold over 12.45 meters, including 32.96 g/t gold over 2.73 meters at Elora. in addition, this hole intercepted a hanging wall structure that returned 1.67 g/t gold over 2.75 meters, including 8.41 g/t gold over 0.43 meters.
  • Phase 5 drilling has been completed. Remaining drill results are expected in the coming weeks.  This phase consisted of nine holes totaling 1,598 meters focused on the depth expansion at Elora and Big Master 1 gold systems and infill drilling at Big Master 2
  • Video summaries of our released drill holes can be found here.

Elora Gold Structure:
  • Four holes have been completed to test the extension of the Elora gold system along the high-grade plunge.
  • Hole KW-24-008 reported earlier this year returned multiple intercepts of both quartz veining and sulphide mineralization returning 14.10 g/t gold over 7.54 meters including 43.81 g/t gold over 1.42 meters and 92.10 g/t gold over 0.30 meters.
  • Hole KW-24-017 reported here, intersected mineralization 30 meters deeper and 45 meters along strike of hole KW-24-008 (Figure 1). 
  • The zone intersected in hole KW-24-017 is located at 220 meters true depth and consisted of pyrite mineralization and quartz veins within sheared volcanics. Adjacent to the mineralization zone a felsic dyke was observed which is hypothesized to be a correlated to the gold bearing event and was observed in the majority of the high-grade holes in the Gold Rock Camp. 
  • Two additional holes (KW-24-024 and KW-24-025) were drilled as part of the Phase 5 program focused on the plunge extension of hole KW-24-017 with assays pending

Phase 4 Drill Program

Highlights include:
  • KW-24-013 assays 0.74 g/t gold over 10.50 meters

Phase 3 Drill Program

The program can be defined with three specific objectives:
  1. Evaluate high-grade controls on the Elora system
  2. Complete extensional holes from the known mineralization
  3. Test larger step-out holes along strike of the Elora gold system
Highlights include:
  • KW-24-008 intercepted 14.10 g/t gold over 7.54 meters, including 43.81 g/t gold over 1.42 meters and 92.10 g/t gold over 0.30 meters.

    • KW-23-018 intersecting 6.66 g/t gold over 4.30 m, including 44.80 g/t gold over 0.27 m
Cross Structures
  • Several holes were focused on testing the controls on high-grade shoot orientation caused by intersection of structures (lineation) and fold hinge orientation.
  • Previous drilling indicated the potential for these new high-grade shoots, but the continuity and orientation of the potential shoots had not been previously tested.

  • KW-23-009A returned 26.11 g/t gold over 3.16 m, including 79.80 g/t gold over 0.33 m BM1
  • KW-23-010 intersected 3.70 g/t gold over 6.0 m including 10.60 g/t gold over 0.40 m BM2
  • KW-23-016 returned 3.81 g/t gold over 7.00 m, including 71.00 g/t gold over 0.30 m

Geophysics

Geophysical Interpretation & Targets

  • The geophysical interpretation highlighted many anomalies over known mineralization and over unexplored areas
  • 3D geological model shows multiple East-West splay structures occurring around historic gold mines & occurrences in the Gold Rock Camp
  • Geophysical anomalies occur over known mineralized zones
  • Geophysical targets indicated potential for 20km strike along the MDdz in the Gold Rock Camp

Bulk Sample Highlights

Excellent Bulk Sample Results & Metallurgy

  • Single gravity separation recovered 88.6%
  • Bulk cyanidation test recovered 99.4% for the composite
  • A total of 17 chip samples, over 13.6 linear meters yielded a length weighted average grade of 40.2 g/t gold
  • Individual chip samples ranged from 0.05 to 1,070 g/t gold drill cuttings samples over a 30-metre section of the vein yielded an average grade of 5.4 g/t gold.
  • Individual drill cuttings yielded grades ranging from 0.02 to 65.1 g/t gold

Gold Concentration in “Crackseal” Fractures

Gold is concentrated in the “crackseal” fractures and in selvedges along the quartz vein margins. Calcite filled fractures within quartz veins also carry gold. Narrow gold-bearing semi-massive sulphide filled fractures within fissile zones also contain significant gold values. Pervasive ferroan carbonate alteration, disseminated sulphides, and very small barren quartz veinlets characterize the fissile zones.

Sulphides are predominantly pyrite, with variable amounts of chalcopyrite. The gold tenor appears to be related to the quantity of pyrite present in the wall rock and in veins.
