Getchell Gold Corp. Extends Colorado SW Zone 80m Down-Dip at Fondaway Canyon, NV
Executive Summary
- Drill holes FCG25‑31 and FCG25‑32 extended the Colorado SW gold zone at Fondaway Canyon down‑dip by up to ~80 m and along strike by ~40 m, delivering multiple broad intercepts of >1 g/t Au.
- Notable intercepts include 1.9 g/t Au over 50 m (new upper lens) in FCG25‑31 and a continuous 1.1 g/t Au over 90.7 m in FCG25‑32, the latter ending in mineralization.
- The results keep the zone open in all directions and support an ongoing 2025 10‑hole, 3,000‑m drill program aimed at expanding the resource and open‑pit model.
Key Details
- FCG25‑31 – Down‑dip extension 40 m; along‑strike extension 40 m
- Interval 1: 1.3 g/t Au over 45.4 m
- Interval 2: 1.1 g/t Au over 40.3 m
-
New upper lens: 1.9 g/t Au over 50 m (shallower depth)
-
FCG25‑32 – Down‑dip extension 60–80 m; total intercept 1.1 g/t Au over 90.7 m
-
Hole stopped early due to ground conditions but ended in mineralization, indicating continuity.
-
Both holes were drilled from the same pad near the canyon base and confirm consistent thickness of the Colorado SW zone.
-
The Colorado SW zone is now traced for ~500 m on‑section, remaining open up‑dip, down‑dip, and along strike beyond the 2024 mineral resource pit shell.
-
2025 Drill Program – Initial 10‑hole, 3,000‑m campaign underway; slated for completion by end of October 2025.
-
Next phase: three holes targeting the horizon between Colorado SW and North Fork zones within the existing pit shell, ~200 m southeast of current pad.

“We have chalked up two more drill holes that continue to produce major gold intercepts at Fondaway Canyon. The consistency and breadth of the gold mineralization is impressive as is the frequency of additional discoveries.” – Mike Sieb, President, Getchell Gold Corp.
