GTCH · Price

Executive Summary

  • Getchell Gold Corp. released final assay results from its 2025 drill program at the Fondaway Canyon gold project in Nevada, specifically highlighting drill holes FCG25-37 and FCG25-38 which tested the North Fork zone.
  • Hole FCG25-38 demonstrated significant downdip extension of mineralization to the southwest, including a high-grade interval of 5.4 g/t Au over 5.4 m and a stepout of 80 metres down dip.
  • The release marks the completion of the 10-hole, 3,346-meter 2025 drill program, with results aimed at expanding the mineral resource and enhancing the project's value.

Key Details

  • Drill Hole FCG25-38 (North/Southwest Orientation):
    • Intersected 2.8 g/t Au over 40.8 m, including 5.4 g/t Au over 8.0 m (noted as 5.4 m in the body text) intersected 80 m below surface.
    • Intersected an additional interval of 2.9 g/t Au over 15.1 m, demonstrating downdip continuation of the North Fork lower zone with an 80-metre stepout down dip to the southwest.
    • Encountered a third gold interval grading 2.6 g/t Au over 8.9 m at 357.7 m downhole, located well beyond the 2025 mineral resource estimate conceptual pit shell.
  • Drill Hole FCG25-37 (Northwest Orientation):
    • Intersected 1.2 g/t Au over 23.2 m, intersected 80 m below surface.
  • Drill Program Overview:
    • The 2025 program consisted of 10 holes totaling 3,346 meters (10,979 feet).
    • Holes ranged from FCG25-29 through FCG25-38.
    • The program was designed to extend gold mineralization along strike and dip to expand the mineral resource, enlarge the open-pit model, and enhance overall project value.
  • Geological Context:
    • Holes were stationed at the same drill pad at the base of Fondaway Canyon at the junction with the North Fork branch.
    • Significant, widespread, and high-grade gold mineralization has been delineated at the North Fork zone.
    • There is high confidence that the North Fork zone continues to the southwest, with a high likelihood for additional discoveries.
  • Qualified Person:
    • Patrick McLaughlin, PGeo, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.
