Aurania Reports Elevated Silver-Zinc Has Been Discovered In Outcrop Over 2.7 Kilometres At Tiria-Shimpia

 

Toronto, Ontario, May 21, 2021 – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (Frankfurt: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) reports that follow-up of a high-grade boulder found in a stream has led to the discovery of silver-zinc mineralization in outcrop over 2.7 kilometres (“km”) in the Tiria-Shimpia target area in the Company’s Lost Cities – Cutucu Project (“Project”) in southeastern Ecuador.

Follow-up exploration, together with the on-going channel sampling of the mineralized layers where they are exposed at surface, is providing key information on the distribution of grade on surface within the 15km trend along which silver-zinc is located at Tiria-Shimpia. This trend was recently extended to a total of 22km after the discovery of a 7km long mineralized zone at Shimpia North (see press release dated April 30, 2021).  Within the 2.7km mineralized zone, there is a 500 metre (“m”) segment of high-grade material with silver up to 73 grams per tonne (“g/t”) and zinc up to 49% (Figure 1).  The high-grade mineralization is open to the north where there is a gap in outcrop of about 1km.

The mineralized sedimentary layer corresponds closely with silver enrichment in soil (Figure 1) and remains open to the south.  In fact, there is a second band of elevated silver in soil that suggests that there is a second mineralized layer in the sedimentary strata, but no outcrop has yet been found of the suspected second layer. A third level of mineralization has been found to the west with the discovery of low-grade outcrop that returned up to 2% zinc.  Zinc and silver enrichment continues to the southern limit of ridge and spur soil sampling, and there is therefore potential for the silver-zinc zone to extend further south.

Geological Details of the Area Sampled

Silver-zinc mineralization is concentrated in the sedimentary layering in crackle-brecciated dolomitic limestone.  Sphalerite and barite occur in veinlets and as fill between rock fragments in the breccia.  The mineralization occurs in sedimentary layering that is folded across north-northwest – trending hinge lines.

Sample Analysis & Quality Assurance / Quality Control (“QAQC”) 

Laboratories: The soil samples were prepared for analysis at MS Analytical (“MSA”) in Cuenca, Ecuador, and the analyses were done in Vancouver, Canada.

Sample preparation: The rock samples were jaw-crushed to 10 mesh (crushed material passes through a mesh with apertures of 2 millimetres (“mm”)), from which a one-kilogram sub-sample was taken.  The sub-sample was crushed to a grain size of 0.075mm and a 200 gram (“g”) split was set aside for analysis.

Analytical procedure:  Approximately 0.25g of rock pulp underwent four-acid digestion and analysis for 48 elements by ICP-MS.  For the over-limit samples, those that had a grade of greater than 1% zinc and lead, and 100g/t silver, 0.4g of pulp underwent digestion in four acids and the resulting liquid was diluted and analyzed by ICP-MS.

QAQC: Aurania personnel inserted a certified standard pulp sample, alternating with a field blank, at approximate 20 sample intervals in all sample batches. Aurania’s analysis of results from its independent QAQC samples showed the batches reported on above, lie within acceptable limits.  In addition, the labs reported that the analyses had passed their internal QAQC tests.

Great Bear Resources Ltd. (GTBAF)(GBR:CA)
High-Grade Zones Coming Into Clearer View

Noble Capital Markets research on Great Bear Resources is published under ticker symbols GTBAF and GBR:CA. The price target is in USD and based on ticker symbol GTBAF. Great Bear Resources Ltd is a gold exploration company. It explores for mineral properties in the Red Lake District in Ontario, Canada. Its property portfolio includes Great Bear’s Red Lake Properties with the flagship Dixie project, Pakwash property, and Sobel property.

Mark Reichman, Senior Research Analyst of Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

    Getting more granular. Great Bear released additional drill results which featured high-grade gold intercepts with significant drill indicated core lengths, and reinforced the continuity of high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization within the LP Fault. Including results for the most recent 17 drill holes, Great Bear has released 300 LP Fault drill holes to date and expects to complete 400 by year-end. The company is modeling 17 distinct high-grade gold domains within the broader LP Fault gold mineralized system. Together, they encompass a strike length of 4.2 kilometers and occur within eight larger lower grade domains. Importantly, Great Bear provided a detailed long section of the upper portion of one of the high-grade domains, a summary of all drill results within the long section, and detailed maps of the high-grade domains within the broader LP Fault gold system.

    Positive implications.  The release of more detailed information about the distinct high-grade gold domains should make it easier for investors to gauge the project’s mineral resource potential. Additionally, it has implications for mine planning as we think the company may have the ability to size a smaller mill and focus on higher grade material initially which could result in robust project …

* Widths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time. Average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts. Interval widths are calculated using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off grade with up to 3 m of internal dilution of zero grade.

Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively show: 1) A detailed long section of high-grade domain “BR7”, which is one of 17 high-grade domains currently being drilled, 2) a map of all high-grade domains within the LP Fault, 3) A more detailed map of the high-grade domains in the central LP Fault zone, including surrounding bulk tonnage style mineralization, and 4) two cross sections through high-grade domain BR7. Table 1 provides all gold intercepts from BR7 shown in Figure 1. Table 2 provides all new gold assay results from the most recent LP Fault drilling.

With the 17 drill holes included in this release, Great Bear has released 300 LP Fault drill holes to date.

Highlights of Current Results

  • New drill holes reported in this release intersected the LP Fault zone from approximately 20 to 500 metres vertical depth along 2.2 kilometres of strike length.
  • Drill holes were located a) above previous drilling, in order to extend gold mineralization towards surface, and b) within 75 to 100 metre previously undrilled gaps in the zone.
  • Two drill holes are step-ups that extend gold mineralization by more than 75 metres above previous drilling to the near-surface:
    • BR-298 assayed 22.79 g/t gold over 4.80 metres from 58.30 to 63.10 metres downhole, within a broader mineralized interval assaying 3.32 g/t gold over 43.80 metres from 29.70 to 73.50 metres downhole.
    • BR-299 assayed 13.27 g/t gold over 2.35 metres from 34.90 to 37.25 metres downhole, and 4.12 g/t gold over 10.35 metres from 53.90 to 64.25 metres downhole. The total mineralized interval was 2.30 g/t gold over 39.30 metres from 32.20 metres to 71.50 metres downhole.
  • New bulk-tonnage type intercepts include:
    • 3.07 g/t gold over 35.60 metres from 117.00 to 152.60 metres downhole in drill hole BR-320.
    • 1.11 g/t gold over 91.60 metres from 349.50 to 441.10 metres downhole in drill hole BR-285.
    • 1.00 g/t gold over 91.40 metres from 473.60 to 565.00 metres downhole in drill hole BR-286.
  • Drill holes with multiple intervals of gold mineralization including both high-grade and bulk tonnage type results include:
    • BR-276 which assayed 25.57 g/t gold over 2.50 metres from 233.50 to 236.00 metres downhole, and 4.10 g/t gold over 23.85 metres from 462.25 to 486.10 metres downhole, including a high-grade core of 68.40 g/t gold over 0.95 metres from 485.15 to 486.10 metres downhole.

Results continue to demonstrate excellent continuity of high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization. The LP Fault zone remains open to extension in all directions.

* Widths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time. Average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts. Interval widths are calculated using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off grade with up to 3 m of internal dilution of zero grade

About High-Grade Gold Domains and BR7

The 17 high-grade domains are structurally and geologically distinctive from the surrounding lower grade, bulk tonnage style gold mineralization. Together, they span a strike length of 4.2 kilometres and occur within eight larger stratigraphically controlled lower grade domains. They are characterized by high degrees of strain and/or transposed quartz vein zones following two distinct structural fabrics and transition from upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphism. Gold in the high-grade domains is generally observed as free gold, is often transposed into, and overgrows the dominant structural fabrics, and is higher-grade on average than the surrounding bulk tonnage gold zones.

Domain BR7, presented in this news release, has a surface strike length of 620 metres and has been drilled to a depth of 500 metres (where it remains open to extension).  BR7 is a high strain zone hosted within strongly altered (albite, biotite, +/- quartz veined) felsic volcanic rocks and occurs oblique to the dominant geological contacts. It has an average strike orientation of 270 degrees and dips 74 degrees to the north.

Drilling is planned to intersect the various high-grade domains at 40 – 50 metre spacing. Figure 1 demonstrates how drilling is nearing completion within the upper portions of domain “BR7”, with few drill holes now required to provide the desired drill density for upcoming maiden resource estimation. Drilling is also nearing completion in the near-surface portions of all 17 high-grade domains along more than 4 kilometres of strike length of the central LP Fault. This drilling is expected to be completed from surface to an average of approximately 400 metres depth by year end.

About the Dixie Project

The Dixie Project is 100% owned, comprised of 9,140 hectares of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres, and is located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario. The project is accessible year-round via a 15 minute drive on a paved highway which runs the length of the northern claim boundary and a network of well-maintained logging roads.

The Dixie Project hosts two principal styles of gold mineralization:

  • High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge and Arrow zones). Hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and localized near regional-scale D2 fold axes. These mineralization styles are also typical of the significant mined deposits of the Red Lake district.
  • High-grade disseminated gold with broad moderate to lower grade envelopes (LP Fault). The LP Fault is a significant gold-hosting structure which has been seismically imaged to extend to 14 kilometres depth (Zeng and Calvert, 2006), and has been interpreted by Great Bear to have up to 18 kilometres of strike length on the Dixie property. High-grade gold mineralization is controlled by structural and geological contacts, and moderate to lower-grade disseminated gold surrounds and flanks the high-grade intervals. The dominant gold-hosting stratigraphy consists of felsic sediments and volcanic units.

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a well-financed gold exploration company managed by a team with a track record of success in mineral exploration. Great Bear is focused in the prolific Red Lake gold district in northwest Ontario, where the company controls over 330 km2 of highly prospective tenure across 5 projects: the flagship Dixie Project (100% owned), the Pakwash Property (earning a 100% interest), the Dedee Property (earning a 100% interest), the Sobel Property (earning a 100% interest), and the Red Lake North Property (earning a 100% interest) all of which are accessible year-round through existing roads.

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located in Red Lake Ontario. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to Activation Laboratories in Ontario, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Pulps from approximately 5% of the gold mineralized samples are submitted for check analysis to a second lab. Selected samples are also chosen for duplicate assay from the coarse reject of the original sample. Selected samples with visible gold are also analyzed with a standard 1 kg metallic screen fire assay. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Great Bear’s quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC). No QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein.

* Widths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time. Average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts. Interval widths are calculated using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off grade with up to 3 m of internal dilution of zero grade.

Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively show: 1) A detailed long section of high-grade domain “BR7”, which is one of 17 high-grade domains currently being drilled, 2) a map of all high-grade domains within the LP Fault, 3) A more detailed map of the high-grade domains in the central LP Fault zone, including surrounding bulk tonnage style mineralization, and 4) two cross sections through high-grade domain BR7. Table 1 provides all gold intercepts from BR7 shown in Figure 1. Table 2 provides all new gold assay results from the most recent LP Fault drilling.

With the 17 drill holes included in this release, Great Bear has released 300 LP Fault drill holes to date.

Highlights of Current Results

  • New drill holes reported in this release intersected the LP Fault zone from approximately 20 to 500 metres vertical depth along 2.2 kilometres of strike length.
  • Drill holes were located a) above previous drilling, in order to extend gold mineralization towards surface, and b) within 75 to 100 metre previously undrilled gaps in the zone.
  • Two drill holes are step-ups that extend gold mineralization by more than 75 metres above previous drilling to the near-surface:
    • BR-298 assayed 22.79 g/t gold over 4.80 metres from 58.30 to 63.10 metres downhole, within a broader mineralized interval assaying 3.32 g/t gold over 43.80 metres from 29.70 to 73.50 metres downhole.
    • BR-299 assayed 13.27 g/t gold over 2.35 metres from 34.90 to 37.25 metres downhole, and 4.12 g/t gold over 10.35 metres from 53.90 to 64.25 metres downhole. The total mineralized interval was 2.30 g/t gold over 39.30 metres from 32.20 metres to 71.50 metres downhole.
  • New bulk-tonnage type intercepts include:
    • 3.07 g/t gold over 35.60 metres from 117.00 to 152.60 metres downhole in drill hole BR-320.
    • 1.11 g/t gold over 91.60 metres from 349.50 to 441.10 metres downhole in drill hole BR-285.
    • 1.00 g/t gold over 91.40 metres from 473.60 to 565.00 metres downhole in drill hole BR-286.
  • Drill holes with multiple intervals of gold mineralization including both high-grade and bulk tonnage type results include:
    • BR-276 which assayed 25.57 g/t gold over 2.50 metres from 233.50 to 236.00 metres downhole, and 4.10 g/t gold over 23.85 metres from 462.25 to 486.10 metres downhole, including a high-grade core of 68.40 g/t gold over 0.95 metres from 485.15 to 486.10 metres downhole.

Results continue to demonstrate excellent continuity of high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization. The LP Fault zone remains open to extension in all directions.

* Widths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time. Average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts. Interval widths are calculated using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off grade with up to 3 m of internal dilution of zero grade

About High-Grade Gold Domains and BR7

The 17 high-grade domains are structurally and geologically distinctive from the surrounding lower grade, bulk tonnage style gold mineralization. Together, they span a strike length of 4.2 kilometres and occur within eight larger stratigraphically controlled lower grade domains. They are characterized by high degrees of strain and/or transposed quartz vein zones following two distinct structural fabrics and transition from upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphism. Gold in the high-grade domains is generally observed as free gold, is often transposed into, and overgrows the dominant structural fabrics, and is higher-grade on average than the surrounding bulk tonnage gold zones.

Domain BR7, presented in this news release, has a surface strike length of 620 metres and has been drilled to a depth of 500 metres (where it remains open to extension).  BR7 is a high strain zone hosted within strongly altered (albite, biotite, +/- quartz veined) felsic volcanic rocks and occurs oblique to the dominant geological contacts. It has an average strike orientation of 270 degrees and dips 74 degrees to the north.

Drilling is planned to intersect the various high-grade domains at 40 – 50 metre spacing. Figure 1 demonstrates how drilling is nearing completion within the upper portions of domain “BR7”, with few drill holes now required to provide the desired drill density for upcoming maiden resource estimation. Drilling is also nearing completion in the near-surface portions of all 17 high-grade domains along more than 4 kilometres of strike length of the central LP Fault. This drilling is expected to be completed from surface to an average of approximately 400 metres depth by year end.

About the Dixie Project

The Dixie Project is 100% owned, comprised of 9,140 hectares of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres, and is located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario. The project is accessible year-round via a 15 minute drive on a paved highway which runs the length of the northern claim boundary and a network of well-maintained logging roads.

The Dixie Project hosts two principal styles of gold mineralization:

  • High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge and Arrow zones). Hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and localized near regional-scale D2 fold axes. These mineralization styles are also typical of the significant mined deposits of the Red Lake district.
  • High-grade disseminated gold with broad moderate to lower grade envelopes (LP Fault). The LP Fault is a significant gold-hosting structure which has been seismically imaged to extend to 14 kilometres depth (Zeng and Calvert, 2006), and has been interpreted by Great Bear to have up to 18 kilometres of strike length on the Dixie property. High-grade gold mineralization is controlled by structural and geological contacts, and moderate to lower-grade disseminated gold surrounds and flanks the high-grade intervals. The dominant gold-hosting stratigraphy consists of felsic sediments and volcanic units.

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a well-financed gold exploration company managed by a team with a track record of success in mineral exploration. Great Bear is focused in the prolific Red Lake gold district in northwest Ontario, where the company controls over 330 km2 of highly prospective tenure across 5 projects: the flagship Dixie Project (100% owned), the Pakwash Property (earning a 100% interest), the Dedee Property (earning a 100% interest), the Sobel Property (earning a 100% interest), and the Red Lake North Property (earning a 100% interest) all of which are accessible year-round through existing roads.

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located in Red Lake Ontario. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to Activation Laboratories in Ontario, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Pulps from approximately 5% of the gold mineralized samples are submitted for check analysis to a second lab. Selected samples are also chosen for duplicate assay from the coarse reject of the original sample. Selected samples with visible gold are also analyzed with a standard 1 kg metallic screen fire assay. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Great Bear’s quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC). No QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein.

    Encouraging drill results from the Castle Zone. Allegiant released results for 49 exploration reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, representing 5,850 meters of drilling in the Castle Zone and around the Boss pit located within the company’s Eastside gold project. The drilling confirmed significant surface oxide gold material and encountered a shallow gold zone which begins within 30 meters’ depth and continues for 20 to 40 meters in thickness. Of the 49 holes drilled, 47 encountered mineralization within 45 meters’ depth.

    More drilling results to follow.  In April, the company completed a 9-hole drilling program representing approximately 3,800 meters of drilling near the original pit zone. We expect results to be released soon. There are significant opportunities to continue to develop the original pit zone by expanding the permitted area. The company has been working with the Bureau of Land Management and we think …

Allegiant Drilling at Eastside Confirms Significant At-Surface Oxide Gold Mineralization

 

RENO, Nev., May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“Allegiant” or the “Company”) (AUAU: TSX-V) (AUXXF: OTCQX) is very pleased to announce the results of 49 exploration RC drill holes, totalling 5,850 metres, drilled in the Castle Zone around the former producing Boss pit, located within the Eastside gold project. Eastside hosts a current NI 43-101 pit-constrained Inferred resource of 1,094,000 ounces gold equivalent from 57,050,000 tonnes grading 0.60 g/t AuEq*, however, the Eastside resources estimate which was carried-out in 2020, did not include the Castle Zone.

See Eastside property map (Map 1) here:

www.allegiantgold.com/nr/2020-01-27-map.pdf

The shallow at surface mineralization and good gold grade at the Castle Zone are a game-changer for the Eastside project for the following reasons:

  • Potential significant increase in contained ounces
  • Potential significant decrease in strip-ratio
  • Obvious starter-pit for a potential future Eastside mine

All assays have now been received and interpretation is continuing within the greater Castle Zone. Some of the highlights include:

  • 47 holes encountered mineralization within 45m from surface;
  • Significant intercepts included:
    • 5m of 1.85 g/t from Hole ES-196
    • 14m of 1.08 g/t from Hole ES-202
    • 4.5m of 2.32 g/t from Hole ES-211
    • 3.6m of 2.00 g/t from Hole ES-216
    • 1.5m of 3.86 g/t from Hole ES-222

The Drilling encountered very shallow gold best described as a blanket-like zone which commences at an approximate depth of between 0-30 meters, and consistently continues for 20-40 meters in thickness. Gold is hosted in Tertiary andesite and rhyolite tuff, associated with quartz stockworks, iron oxides along fractures, argillization, and occasionally massive silicification. The Tertiary volcanic rocks overlie Paleozoic rocks of the Palmetto Formation which were encountered at depth in nearly all the drill holes. Drill intercepts (using a 0.1 g/t cutoff gold) for the 49 holes are shown in an attachment form (Table 1). Most of the holes were angle holes drilled in a variety of directions at 45 degrees. Essentially all of the mineralization in drilling is deemed as “oxide” visually.

Peter Gianulis, CEO of Allegiant Gold, commented: “We continue to be pleased by the ongoing results and advancement at Eastside. Given the favorable location of the project, superior access to infrastructure, the shallow nature of the mineralization in the Castle Zone, and the potential for a low strip ratio, the results present a major leap forward for the Eastside project. Next steps planned at Castle will include expansion drilling, metallurgy, a resource estimate and a scoping study.”

* The updated resource estimate (“Updated Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report, Eastside and Castle Gold-Silver Project Technical Report, Esmeralda County, Nevada”) was conducted by Mine Development Associates (“MDA”) of Reno, Nevada with an effective date of December 30, 2019. Contained pit-constrained Inferred Resources of 1,094,000 AuEq ounces at 57,050,000 tonnes at 0.60 g/t AuEq (gold-equivalent ounces were calculated by ALLEGIANT using a silver/gold ratio of 80:1). Heap leach extractions are expected to be around 70% and 20% for gold and silver, respectively, using a three- stage crushing procedure. Milling with a fine grind is expected to result in extractions over 90% and around 50% for gold and silver, respectively. Utilizing a 0.15 g/t cut-off for Au, measured gold was 0.54 g/t and silver was 4.3 g/t. In accordance with NI 43-101 the MDA Technical Report dated January 24, 2020 will be filed on SEDAR. This report builds on and supersedes the NI 43-101 reports of Ristorcelli (December 2016) and Ristorcelli (July 2017) titled “Resource Estimate and Technical Report, Eastside Gold-Silver Project, Esmeralda County, Nevada” prepared for Allegiant with an Effective Date of July 25, 2017. A copy of the Eastside Technical Report can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
