Getchell Gold Corp. Intersects 1.4 g/t Au over 122.3m and Ends in Discovery of High-Grade Gold Zone at Fondaway Canyon, NV
Executive Summary
- Getchell Gold released assay results for drill holes FCG25‑33, FCG25‑34 and FCG25‑35 that fill a 250 m undrilled gap between the Colorado SW and North Fork gold zones at Fondaway Canyon, NV.
- Intercepts include multiple wide, near‑surface grades of ~1.4 g/t Au over >120 m (hole 33) and higher‑grade sections up to 4.8 g/t Au over 12.5 m, indicating a possible high‑grade deep‑rooted structure.
- The 2025 drill program is now complete (10 holes, 3,346 m total); results from seven holes are disclosed with the remaining three expected later in the year, supporting expansion of the open‑pit resource model.
Key Details
- Hole FCG25‑33 – Three intervals:
- 1.4 g/t Au over 122.3 m
- 1.4 g/t Au over 27.8 m
- 1.0 g/t Au over 22.1 m
- Bottom 12.5 m: 4.8 g/t Au (high‑grade discovery)
-
Demonstrates ~30 m internal strike and 50 m down‑dip continuity.
-
Hole FCG25‑34 – Three intervals:
- 2.1 g/t Au over 51.0 m
- 1.5 g/t Au over 36.0 m
- 1.4 g/t Au over 22.9 m
-
Extends mineralization ~125 m on strike and 80 m down‑dip; shows strong connectivity between zones.
-
Hole FCG25‑35 – One principal intercept:
-
2.0 g/t Au over 25.7 m (multiple high‑grade structures).
-
Program Summary:
- Total of 10 holes drilled, 3,346 m (10,979 ft) completed in 2025.
-
Results from seven holes (FCG25‑29 to FCG25‑35) released; remaining three pending due to laboratory backlog, expected by year‑end.
-
Strategic Impact:
- Intercepts fill a critical 250 m gap within the pit shell, enhancing confidence in the existing resource model and supporting potential expansion of the open‑pit mine plan.
-
High‑grade bottom interval in FCG25‑33 suggests deeper, higher‑value targets may exist.
-

Notable Quotes
“The most recent drill holes confirm strong lateral continuity of mineralization in the 250 m gap between the Project's biggest discoveries… This is a critical development addressing and adding to the in‑pit resource model as well as supporting strong confidence for further expansion at the Fondaway Canyon gold project.” – Mike Sieb, President, Getchell Gold Corp.
