Sulphide mineralization consists of patches, stockworks and disseminated galena (1%), sphalerite (2%), pyrrhotite (2%) and minor chalcopyrite. The mineralized interval is hosted in strongly altered siltstones and the mineralization is noticed in quartz-chlorite veins and veinlets attribute of the deposit type noticed inside the Golddigger property. Assays are presently pending.
Gap GD-23-157 collared from Cliff Pad inside the Golden Gate Feeder Zone (500 m north of Pad A), intercepted Seen Gold mineralization containing 23 meters* of 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) together with 14.00 meters* of 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag) and 9.00 meters* of fifty.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t Ag). The opening drilled via a sedimentary bundle consisting of interbedded mudstones and sandstones, crosscut by a number of dykes of intermediate composition. A large number of sulfide and gold-rich quartz veins and breccias have been intersected, which have been hosted in altered siltstone attribute of the Surebet Zone. The noticed alteration type consists of chloritization in veins and silicification extending from vein margins inside the host rock, constantly with earlier high-grade occurrences from the Surebet Zone. Sulfide mineralization ranges from stockwork to semi-massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena ± chalcopyrite and is especially pronounced from 129 to 131 meters and 136 to 137 meters. The shallowest prevalence of Seen Gold was recognized at 119 meter depth, related to patchy pyrrhotite mineralization. Eleven additional Seen Gold occurrences have been noticed between 129 and 139 meters. The intercept is interpreted to be the Surebet Zone and is one among 5 mineralized intercepts intersected on this gap.
Gap GD-23-173 collared from Cliff Pad, intersecting Seen Gold and considerable sulphide mineralization hosted in quartz stockwork and quartz breccia veins in 2 intervals. The Surebet Zone from 45.11 to 72 meters in addition to the Bonanza Shear from 466 to 455.27 meters. The primary mineralized intercept (Surebet Zone) consists of greater than 1 oz/t AuEq (10.97 g/t Au and 1817.34 g/t Ag) over 9.60 meters* inside 23.89 g/t AuEq (9.40 g/t Au and 1176.14 g/t Ag) over 15.49 meters* inside 14.68 g/t AuEq (5.81 g/t Au and 719.13 g/t Ag) over 26.89 meters*. Assays are presently pending for the deeper intersect that corresponds to the Bonanza Shear and reveals the presence of Seen Gold and considerable sulphide mineralization current as semi-massive and stringer galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Mineralization is noticed as semi-massive to stringer pyrrhotite (as much as 5%), sphalerite (as much as 2%), disseminated to patchy galena (<1% however constant all through the interval) and minor chalcopyrite (<1%). Seven occurrences of Seen Gold have been noticed via the Surebet Zone intercept, reaching sizes as much as 0.7 mm. The deeper Bonanza Shear intercept is hosted in sheared mudstones and extends from 446 to 455.27 meters, the place mineralization consists of disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite (1%) and galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite that present <1% abundance over the interval size however are concentrated in native quartz veins. Seen Gold was recognized at 447.4 meters depth related to sulphides.
Gap GD-23-197 collared from Pad 16 inside the Golden Gate Feeder Zone (600 m north of Pad A) intersected three outcropping quartz-chlorite-sulphide mineralized shear zones. The primary zone happens inside the mudstones from 396 to 398 meters and is interpreted to be a part of the Surebet Zone, the second happens from 418.1 to 422 meters and is almost definitely a part of the Bonanza Shear. A 3rd new zone named the Golden Gate Zone solely 20 meters beneath the Bonanza Shear, has been recognized inside the underlying Hazelton Volcanics between 442.85 and 462.00 meters representing a 19.15 meter interval (~true width) the place a number of sheeted veins/shears ranging in thickness from 3 centimeters to 2.2 meters have been intercepted, containing considerable Seen Gold (as much as 1%) nuggets as much as 4mm in dimension, sphalerite (as much as 10%), galena (as much as 5%), chalcopyrite (as much as 3%), pyrrhotite (as much as 20%) and pyrite (as much as 20%).

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill marketing campaign is positioned in core packing containers by the drill crew contracted by the Firm. Core packing containers are transported by helicopter to the staging space, after which transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Restoration and RQD measurements taken, and first bedding and secondary structural options together with veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are famous and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes have been deliberate utilizing Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software program and knowledge from the 2017-2022 exploration campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration are sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Core samples are lower lengthwise in half, one-half stays within the field and the opposite half is inserted in a clear plastic bag with a pattern tag. Requirements, blanks and duplicates have been added within the pattern stream at a fee of 10%.
Seize, channels, chip and talus samples have been collected by foot with helicopter help. Potential areas included, however weren’t restricted to, proximity to MINFile places, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans primarily based on high-resolution satellite tv for pc imagery. The rock seize and chip samples have been extracted utilizing a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to show recent surfaces and to liberate a pattern of wherever between 0.5 to five.0 kilograms. All pattern websites have been flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the pattern quantity. All pattern websites have been recorded utilizing hand-held GPS models (accuracy 3-10 meters) and pattern ID, easting, northing, elevation, sort of pattern (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, seize, and many others.) and an outline of the rock have been recorded on all-weather paper. Samples have been then inserted in a clear plastic bag with a pattern tag for transport and transport to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples together with blanks, requirements, and duplicate samples have been inserted frequently into the pattern sequence at a fee of 10%.
All samples are transported in rice baggage sealed with numbered safety tags. A transport firm takes them from the core shack to the ALS labs amenities in North Vancouver. ALS is both licensed to ISO 9001:2008 or accredited to ISO 17025:2005 in all of its places. At ALS samples have been processed, dried, crushed, and pulverized earlier than evaluation utilizing the ME-MS61 and Au-SCR21 strategies. For the ME-MS61 methodology, a ready pattern is digested with perchloric, nitric, hydrofluoric, and hydrochloric acids. The residue is topped up with dilute hydrochloric acid and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Overlimits have been re-analyzed utilizing the ME-OG62 and Ag-GRA21 strategies (gravimetric end). For Au-SCR21 a big quantity of pattern is required (sometimes 1-3kg). The pattern is crushed and screened (normally to -106 micron) to separate coarse gold particles from nice materials. After screening, two aliquots of the nice fraction are analysed utilizing the normal fireplace assay methodology. The nice fraction is predicted to be fairly homogenous and nicely represented by the duplicate analyses. The complete coarse fraction is assayed to find out the contribution of the coarse gold.
The reader is cautioned that seize samples are spot samples that are sometimes, however not completely, constrained to mineralization. Seize samples are selective in nature and picked up to find out the presence or absence of mineralization and are usually not supposed to be consultant of the fabric sampled.
