Getchell Gold Corp. Discovers High-Grade Gold, Grading 5.8 g/t Au over 19.0m, Beyond Mineral Resource Pit Shell at Fondaway Canyon, NV

GTCH · Price
Executive Summary
- Drill hole FCG25‑36 intersected a high‑grade gold zone of 5.8 g/t Au over 19.0 m (including 12.9 g/t Au over 6.5 m) located 35 m beyond the existing mineral‑resource pit shell and 70 m northwest of prior drilling.
- Additional intervals were intersected: 1.4 g/t Au over 23.6 m and 2.2 g/t Au over 11.2 m, confirming continuation of the Colorado SW zone with a 40‑m step‑out along strike.
- The discovery expands the known strike extension by 70 m to the northwest, is fully open in all directions, and supports plans for follow‑up drilling to further expand the resource.
Key Details
- Hole Identification: FCG25‑36, most northwesterly hole drilled to date on the Fondaway Canyon project.
- High‑Grade Intercept: 5.8 g/t Au over 19.0 m; includes a sub‑interval of 12.9 g/t Au over 6.5 m. Located 35 m beyond the current open‑pit resource shell.
- Additional Gold Intercepts:
- 1.4 g/t Au over 23.6 m
- 2.2 g/t Au over 11.2 m – both within the Colorado SW zone, representing a 40 m strike step‑out.
- Strike Extension: Mineralization now extended 70 m northwest of previous drilling; fully open along strike and dip.
- Lithology Insight: High‑grade mineralization occurs adjacent to a limestone/marble unit that may act as a structural control for gold enrichment; the limestone/marble itself returned 0.4 g/t Au over 14.8 m.
- Future Work: Follow‑up drilling planned in the northwest extension and around the limestone/marble corridor to test further resource expansion potential.
- Qualified Person: Patrick McLaughlin, P.Geo., reviewed and approved technical content per NI 43‑101.
Notable Quotes
“The results demonstrate the continuation of mineralization unabated along strike to the northwest… the discovery of another high‑grade gold interval beyond the limits of previous drilling… this region is fully open for further expansion and bodes well for future mineral resource accretion.” – Mike Sieb, President, Getchell Gold Corp.
