Tiger Gold Drills 79 m @ 0.8 g/t Au, Including 26 m @ 1.4 g/t Au, in 192- Metre Northwest Step-Out at Ceibal
Tiger Gold Corp. (TIGR) has reported assay results from three step-out drillholes at its Ceibal target within the Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia. The results extend the interpreted mineralized corridor to the northwest, with hole CEDDH-014 intersecting significant gold intervals including 78.63 m @ 0.8 g/t Au and 25.56 m @ 1.4 g/t Au. The Company is targeting a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for Ceibal for the first quarter of 2027, with ongoing drilling designed to resolve the geometry, orientation, and dip of the mineralized system.
CEDDH-014, located 192m NW as a step-out from CEDDH-013, intersected 78.63 m @ 0.8 g/t Au from 204 m downhole, including: * 25.56 m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 232 m downhole * 6 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 220 m downhole
The hole also intersected 86 m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 296 m downhole, including: * 10 m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 326 m downhole * 9.55 m @ 1.3 g/t Au from 308 m downhole
This mineralization is hosted in dacite-andesite porphyry, with two composites separated by a 10.92 m barren late diorite dike. Lower-grade intervals included 10 m @ 0.3 g/t Au from 58 m and 50 m @ 0.2 g/t Au from 106 m. Below approximately 382 m, the hole entered a carbonate-base-metal (CBM) assemblage with elevated base metals and silver.
CEDDH-016, a 235m NW step-out from CEDDH-013, intersected 34 m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 10 m downhole, including: * 6 m @ 2.1 g/t Au from 14 m downhole
This near-surface interval may reflect supergene enrichment, while deeper intervals were narrow and lower-grade at approximately 0.2 g/t Au. The interpretation suggests the apparent corridor narrows to the northwest.
CEDDH-015, a 210m SE step-out from CEDDH-003, intersected 14 m @ 0.2 g/t Au from 74 m downhole. This hole did not extend the corridor to the southeast and did not intersect porphyritic intrusive rock or reach the modelled porphyry contact.
One rig is currently active at Ceibal, while two rigs are completing infill, extension, and gap drilling at Tesorito. A fourth drill rig is on order. Assays are pending from both Ceibal and Tesorito, including offset scissor holes (CEDDH-020 and CEDDH-021) drilled across the corridor to determine dip direction.
True widths are unknown due to the early stage of exploration. The cutoff is defined as a minimum 10 m interval at 0.2 g/t Au, allowing 10 m internal dilution, with higher-grade intervals defined as greater than 5 m at 1 g/t Au. Core was sampled at HQ/NQ diameter, cut in half, and sent to ALS laboratories in Medellín for preparation and Lima for analysis. Gold was analyzed via 50 g fire assay with AAS finish (Au-AA26), and a multi-element suite was analyzed via ICP-AES and ICP-MS. QA/QC includes certified reference materials, coarse blanks, and quarter-core duplicates inserted into the sample stream.
Robert Vallis, President and CEO, commented: "I am excited about what CEDDH-014 has shown us at Ceibal. It extended gold mineralization further to the northwest, and these holes are doing exactly what large step-out drilling should be doing at this stage - showing us where the higher-grade portions of the system sit, where its margins might be, and where it remains open."
He added: "That is the information we need to focus the drilling that will support a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for Ceibal that we are targeting for the first quarter of 2027."
