NexGold Mining drills 14.07 g/t gold over 7.0 metres at Goldlund Deposit, Goliath Gold Complex, Ontario
NexGold Mining Corp. [TSXV: NEXG; OTCQX: NXGCF] provided additional results from its diamond drilling program at the company’s Goliath Gold Complex, Ontario, which includes the Goliath, Goldlund and Miller Deposits. The drill program, of which approximately 31,971 metres of the expanded 35,000-metre program have been completed, is focused on infilling and testing the extension of mineralization within Zone 4 of the Goldlund Deposit. The results presented in this news release include 3,603 metres of diamond drilling in 10 drill holes (GL-26-031 to GL-26-040).
Selected drill intersections from diamond drill holes at the Goldlund Deposit include 14.07 g/t gold over 7.0 metres (from 187.0 to 194.0 metres), including 95.70 g/t gold over 1.0 metres in drill hole GL-26-034; additionally, 9.76 g/t gold over 8.0 metres (from 170.0 to 178.0 metres), including 74.10 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, 2.84 g/t gold over 13.0 metres (from 205.0 to 218.0 metres), including 21.70 g/t gold over 1.2 metres, 53.00 g/t gold over 1.0 metre (from 74.0 to 75.0 metres), and 0.55 g/t gold over 29.7 metres (from 243.5 to 273.2 metres) including 7.61 g/t gold over 1.2 metres in the same hole; 2.23 g/t gold over 15.5 metres (from 123.5 to 139.0 metres), including 40.50 g/t gold over 0.5 metres and 3.97 g/t gold over 0.8 metres in drill hole GL-26-032; additionally, 1.49 g/t gold over 9.1 metres (from 433.9 to 443.0 metres), including 6.50 g/t gold over 0.7 metres and 9.25 g/t gold over 0.5 metres in the same hole;
1.25 g/t gold over 22.0 metres (from 166.0 to 188.0 metres), including 40.50 g/t gold over 0.5 metres in drill hole GL-26-033; additionally, 0.84 g/t gold over 42.8 metres (from 245.7 to 288.5 metres), including 7.04 g/t gold over 1.3 metres and 3.91 g/t gold over 1.0 metre in the same hole; and 1.51 g/t gold over 17.1 metres (from 218.9 to 236.0 metres), including 13.80 g/t gold over 0.6 metres and 5.98 g/t gold over 1.0 metre in drill hole GL-26-039A; additionally, 2.04 g/t gold over 6.2 metres (from 196.2 to 202.4 metres), including 15.50 g/t gold over 0.6 metres in the same hole.
Kevin Bullock, President, CEO & Director of NexGold, commented: “I am pleased with the additional assay results from our drill program at Goldlund. This program continues to demonstrate grade continuity at depth, but within reach of a potential open pit. Grade tenor and thicknesses continue to build confidence that mineralization continues at depth and is consistent with previous drill results. Our continued drilling progress at Goldlund further supports our objectives for this program – to infill and test the extension of mineralization in Zone 4 – which is expected to contribute to refinement of our geological model and may inform future Mineral Resource assessments. We expect to complete the balance of the 35,000-metre program by the end of 2026 and will continue to provide updates as results become available.”
Mineralization at the Goldlund Deposit is generally characterized by quartz stockwork veining within sub-vertical granodiorite sills. Zone 4 at the Goldlund Deposit includes broad intervals of mineralized intermediate-mafic volcanic rocks with multiple porphyry and granodiorite intrusions. The drill results summarized in this news release, together with previously announced drill results, provide additional support and information relevant to the interpretation of grade continuity within Zone 4. These results are expected to contribute to ongoing refinement of the geological model and may support future evaluation of Mineral Resource classification, subject to additional drilling, data verification, and completion of further technical studies.
Drill holes completed as part of this program have been distributed across the strike extent of Zone 4, with the holes highlighted in this news release located from the central to southeastern portion of the zone. The results provide additional information supporting the Company’s current geological interpretation of mineralization within Zone 4 and provide additional information regarding the continuity of mineralization between drill sections. Additional drilling is planned to further evaluate mineralization along strike and down dip and to inform Mineral Resource assessments.
