Executive Summary

  • A2 Gold Corp. has completed a fully financed three-hole diamond core drill program (approx. 1,680 meters) at the McIntosh zone of its Eastside project in Nevada, marking the first deep core drilling at the site.
  • The program was designed to test vertical and structural extensions of high-grade gold mineralization intersected in previous campaigns (ES-239, ES-243).
  • Core samples have been shipped for assay, with results expected in 4-6 weeks to guide the next phase of exploration, which includes a planned 18,000-meter reverse circulation drill program.

Key Details

  • Drilling Program Overview:
    • Total footage: Approximately 1,680 metres (5,512 feet).
    • Location: McIntosh zone, Eastside gold-silver project, Walker Lane trend, near Tonopah, Nevada.
    • Purpose: Test vertical and structural extensions of the high-grade zone discovered in the 2021 drill campaign.
  • Hole Specifics:
    • Hole ES-331: Vertical hole, total depth 1,738 feet (530 metres). Tested extensions of gold mineralization intersected in ES-239 along strike and at greater depth.
    • Hole ES-337: Angled hole (-60 degrees), total depth 1,778 feet (542 metres). Designed to test multiple structural orientations and known gold mineralized structures at greater depths.
    • Hole ES-338: Angled hole (-60 degrees), total depth 1,996 feet (608 metres). Tested for extensions of gold mineralization cut in ES-243 laterally and at greater depth.
  • Next Steps:
    • Core samples logged, photographed, and shipped to laboratory.
    • Assay results expected within 4-6 weeks.
    • Future plans include a fully financed 18,000-metre reverse circulation drill program, scheduled to commence after data interpretation from a recently concluded property-wide geophysics program is finalized.
  • Resource Context:
    • Eastside project hosts a current inferred resource of 1.4 million ounces of gold and 8.8 million ounces of silver.
    • Project covers 92-square-kilometres with mineralization open in all directions.

Notable Quotes

  • "We are very pleased to have successfully completed our three-hole diamond core drilling program safely and on schedule... This program was specifically designed to test the vertical and structural extensions of the McIntosh high-grade zone and marks the first deep core drilling ever conducted at Eastside. The results will provide valuable geological and structural insights to guide our next phase of exploration." — Peter Gianulis, Chief Executive Officer
