Step Out Drilling Materially Expands the Overall Dimensions of Collective Mining’s Main Breccia Discovery at Apollo

  • Visual observations from two step-out diamond drill holes within the Company’s Main Breccia discovery at the Apollo target have intersected the most cumulative mineralization in drill holes completed to date as well as significantly expanded the known dimensions of this exciting new discovery.
  • Hole APC-17, which was drilled due north from Pad 3, cut more than 600 metres in total of favourable mineralization before terminating at approximately 913 metres while still in mineralization. This is the most mineralization encountered in a drill hole to date at the Apollo target.
  • Hole APC-22, which was drilled to the northeast from Pad 3, cut more than 400 metres in total of favourable mineralization before terminating at 734 metres while still in mineralization.
  • As a result of both new holes, the potential total volume of rock hosting the Main Breccia discovery within it has approximately tripled in size with the dimensions now measuring 385 metres along strike by 350 metres width by 825 metres depth versus prior dimensions of 385 metres x 190 metres x 500 metres. The discovery remains wide open for expansion and further step-out holes are currently being designed.
  • Three rigs continue to drill at Apollo with additional assay results anticipated in the near term.

TORONTO, Oct. 11, 2022 /CNW/ – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce visual observations from two step out holes drilled into the Apollo target (“Apollo”) which is located within the Guayabales project in Caldas, Colombia. The Main Breccia discovery at Apollo is a high-grade, bulk tonnage copper-gold-silver porphyry-related breccia target with previously announced intercepts including:

HoleIntercept (m)Au (g/t)Ag (g/t)Cu %Zn %Pb %Mo %AuEq (g/t) *
APC-2207.151.46450.310.080.050.0022.68
APC-8265.751.26550.220.070.050.0452.44
APC-12237.701.15720.380.080.070.0012.88
See press releases dated August 10th, September 13th and October 6th respectively.

As part of its fully funded 20,000+ metre drill program for 2022, there are currently three diamond drill rigs operating at the Apollo target.

“These two new diamond drill holes are incredibly exciting as we have significantly expanded the size of the Main Breccia discovery at Apollo and while doing so, we have cut the longest intercepts of both total and continuous mineralization completed to date. Importantly, the system remains open to the north and northeast as both holes bottomed in mineralization. We look forward to continued aggressive drilling in order to see how much more this exceptional discovery can grow,” commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman.

Details (See Figures 1–4)

Fourteen diamond drill holes with accompanying assay results have now been announced at Apollo and a further eleven holes are outstanding. The Company recently completed two northerly directed diamond drill holes, APC-17 and APC-22, from its southernmost drill pad (Pad 3), which were designed to test for mineralized extensions to the Main Breccia discovery. The following visual observations are highlighted from the two step out holes:

  • Hole APC-17 was drilled approximately due north to a maximum depth of 912.60 metres. The hole intersected more than 70 metres of mineralization beginning at 119 metres down hole (100m vertical) and another 545 metres of mineralization from 365 metres down hole (330m vertical) to the end of the hole (825m vertical). Total mineralization in this diamond drill hole exceeded 600 metres and is the most mineralization drilled in a single hole to date into the Main Breccia discovery at Apollo. The shallow intercept is hosted within angular porphyry related breccia containing chalcopyrite (1-2%) with pyrite and pyrrhotite and is located directly beneath recently discovered mineralization outcropping at surface. The deeper and longer intercept is also hosted within angular porphyry related breccia with the matrix filled with pyrite, chalcopyrite and overprinting carbonate base metal veins (“CBM”). The hole was terminated at 912.6 metres while still in mineralized breccia.
  • Hole APC-22 was drilled to the northeast to a maximum depth of 734.8 metres and intercepted three zones yielding more than 400 metres of total breccia mineralization. The two shallow zones are located directly beneath surface outcrops and the initial 37 metre intercept commenced at 100 metres downhole (60m vertical), while the second shallow 19 metre intercept began at 167 metres down hole (100m vertical). Mineralization is hosted within angular porphyry breccia with a matrix of chalcopyrite (1-2%) and pyrrhotite and overprinting zones of sheeted CBM veins. The deeper intercept commenced at 308 metres downhole (276m vertical) and continued within mineralized porphyry related angular breccia until the hole was terminated at 734.8 metres.
  • Visual logging of APC-17 and APC-22 have significantly increased the overall maximum potential volume of rock hosting the Main Breccia discovery, which now measures up to 385 metres along strike by 350 metres width by 825 metres depth (prior dimensions were 385 metres x 190 metres x 500 metres). The system remains open for expansion.
  • Three rigs continue to drill at Apollo with additional assay results anticipated in the near term.
  • The Apollo target area, as defined to date by surface mapping, rock sampling and copper and molybdenum soil geochemistry, covers an 800 metres X 700 metres area. The Apollo target area hosts the Company’s new Main Breccia discovery plus a vein system flanking its eastern side. Multiple additional untested breccia, porphyry and vein targets have been generated and will be drilled in due course. Lastly, the overall Apollo target area also remains open for further expansion.

The Gold Market’s Great Migration Sends Bullion Rushing East

Western investors are dumping gold in response to rising rates.

There’s a global migration underway in the gold market, as western investors dump bullion while Asian buyers take advantage of a tumbling price to snap up cheap jewelry and bars.

Rising rates that make gold less attractive as an investment mean that large volumes of metal are being drawn out of vaults in financial centers like New York and heading east to meet demand in Shanghai’s gold market or Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

In fact, it can’t move fast enough.

Logistical issues combined with quirks of the market are making it difficult for traders to get enough bullion where it’s wanted. As a result, gold and silver are selling at unusually large premiums over the global benchmark price in some Asian markets.

“The incentive to hold gold is a lot lower. It’s going from west to east now,” said Joseph Stefans, head of trading at MKS PAMP SA, a gold refining and trading firm. “We are trying to keep up as best we can.”

The rotation of metal around the world is part of a gold-market cycle that has repeated for decades: when investors retreat and prices drop, Asian buying picks up and precious metals flow east — helping to put a floor on the gold price during times of weakness.Sponsored ContentWomen are Finding Their Voices in Financial PlanningFirst Horizon Bank

Then, when gold eventually rallies again, much of it returns to sit in bank vaults beneath the streets of New York, London and Zurich.

Since peaking in March, gold prices have tumbled 18% as the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes caused mass liquidation by financial investors.

More than 527 tons of gold has poured out of New York and London vaults that back the two biggest Western markets since the end of April, according to data from the CME Group Inc. and London Bullion Market Association.

At the same time, shipments are rising into big Asian gold consumers like China, whose imports hit a four-year high in August.

Gold Flows East

Asia has net-imported gold from the West since Aprilhttps://www.bloomberg.com/toaster/v2/charts/8e101e907831c2855279f794770d9a13.html?brand=business&webTheme=default&web=true&hideTitles=true

Note: Data shows net-imports from Switzerland from May to August

While plenty of gold is heading east, it’s still not enough to meet demand. Gold in Dubai and Istanbul or on the Shanghai Gold Exchange has traded at multi-year premiums to the London benchmark in recent weeks, according to MKS PAMP — a sign that buying is outstripping imports.

Read: China Gold Prices Surge to Huge Premium as Demand Swamps Imports

“Demand typically picks up when prices fall,” said Philip Klapwijk, managing director of Hong Kong-based consultant Precious Metals Insights Ltd. “Buyers want to source metal at the lower price and in the local physical market in question there may not be sufficient metal available when the price falls, so the local premium increases.”

Gold in Thailand is also trading at a premium to London prices, due to a lack of supply and weakness in the local currency, according to Jitti Tangsithpakdi, the president of Thailand’s Gold Traders Association.

In India, it is silver that is seeing big premiums. The differential has soared recently to $1, more than triple the usual level, according to consultancy Metals Focus Ltd.

“Right now the demand for silver is huge as traders restock,” said Chirag Sheth, the firm’s principal consultant in Mumbai. “Premiums could remain elevated during the festival season that concludes with Diwali.”

Analysts say that much of the precious metals feeding Asia’s appetite is coming out of vaults run by CME Group, which back the Comex futures market in New York.

Comex gold inventories are finally beginning to decline

Market dislocations early in the pandemic drove a massive surge in prices there, forcing banks to build large stockpiles to cover their futures positions. In recent months gold has traded at a discount on the Comex compared to London, and those inventories are now being drawn down to meet Asian demand.

However, it can be slow going, partly because Asian buyers tend to prefer one-kilogram bars over larger sizes. To fill a standard shipment box of 25 kg of gold, physical traders must take delivery of multiple Comex gold futures, often backed by bullion in different warehouses.

Traders say they are facing other logistical challenges as well, which are contributing to the high Asian premiums.

“Getting stuff on boats or on planes is a bit harder than it used to be,” said MKS PAMP’s Stefans. “It’s really just a classic example of demand far out-pacing supply.”

Collective Mining Drills its Highest-Grade Interval to Date Returning 237.70 Metres at 2.88 g/t Gold Equivalent and Expands the Dimensions of the Main Breccia Discovery at Apollo

  • APC-12 intersected the highest-grade assay results drilled to date in the Main Breccia discovery at the Apollo target. The hole intercepted a continuous, broad, and consistently high-grade zone of copper-silver-gold mineralization with multiple, overprinting carbonate base metal veins observed within the breccia matrix and returned:
  • APC-14 intersected two separate zones of mineralization. Importantly, the shallower intercept, beginning at only 45 metres down hole, extended the southern dimension of the Main Breccia discovery and confirmed continuity of copper-silver-gold mineralization directly below the recently announced outcrop discovery with assay results as follows:
  • The second intercept, which was slightly deeper down hole, cut a remarkably continuous zone of Main Breccia copper-silver-gold mineralization and extended the width of the system slightly to the north with results as follows:
  • As a result of the intercepts in APC-14, the known width of the system increased by approximately 90% with the overall maximum dimensions of the Main Breccia now measuring 385 metres along strike by 190 metres width by 500 metres depth (prior dimensions were 350 metres x 100 metres x 500 metres). The deposit remains open in all directions.

TORONTO, Oct. 6, 2022 /CNW/ – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from four additional holes completed at the Apollo target (“Apollo”) within the Company’s Guayabales project located in Caldas, Colombia. The Main Breccia discovery at Apollo is a high-grade, bulk tonnage copper-gold-silver porphyry-related breccia target with previously announced intercepts including hole APC-2, which intersected 207.15 metres @ 2.68 g/t AuEq and APC-8, which intersected 265.75 metres @ 2.44 g/t gold equivalent (See press releases dated August 10th and September 13th respectively). As part of its fully funded 20,000+ metre drill program for 2022, there are currently three diamond drill rigs operating at the Apollo target.

“The Main Breccia discovery at the Apollo target continues to deliver robust results demonstrating remarkable continuity and grade over significant drilling widths.  Drill-hole APC-14 is a very important hole as it not only confirmed that the Main Breccia comes directly to surface in the southern portion of the system but also extended the size (width) of the system to the south and to the north. Subsequent step out drill holes either recently completed or currently underway appear to have intersected significant extensions to the size of the system in the north. Once logging has been completed and interpreted by our team, a further update will be provided in the near term on this exciting development,” commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman.

Details (See Table 1 and Figures 1– 5)

Eleven diamond drill holes with accompanying assay results have now been announced at Apollo and based on results, the Main Breccia at Apollo continues to grow and now measures up to 385 metres along strike by 190 metres in width by 500 metres vertical. The target remains open in all directions and continues to develop into a significant bulk tonnage mineralized system.

Assay results have been received for four new sequential drill holes APC-11 through APC-14. Drill holes APC-12 and APC-14 intersected the Main Breccia and were drilled in different directions from two separate drill pads. APC-14 was drilled to the north from Pad 3 to a final depth of 407.5 metres and APC-12 was drilled eastwards to a final depth of 474.4 metres from the newly constructed Pad 4, which is located 300 metres to the north of Pad 3. Drill holes APC-11 and 13 were collared from Pad 2 and were drilled to the south and east to final depths of 243.75 metres and 313.20 metres respectively.https://embed.fireplace.yahoo.com/embed?ctrl=Monalixa&m_id=monalixa&m_mode=document&site=sports&os=android&pageContext=%257B%2522ctopid%2522%253A%25221542500%253B1577000%2522%252C%2522hashtag%2522%253A%25221542500%253B1577000%2522%252C%2522wiki_topics%2522%253A%2522Target_Corporation%253BMetre%253BBreccia%2522%252C%2522lmsid%2522%253A%2522a0770000002lA5sAAE%2522%252C%2522revsp%2522%253A%2522cnwgroup.com%2522%252C%2522lpstaid%2522%253A%25226ced45bf-fe56-3155-9ef3-33846db874a1%2522%252C%2522pageContentType%2522%253A%2522story%2522%257D

Assay results and related details are listed below:

  • APC-12: 237.70 metres @ 2.88 g/t AuEq from 191.35 metres down hole (170 metres vertical) including:
    14.3 metres @ 5.58 g/t AuEq from 209.70 metres down hole; and
    21.75 metres @ 8.27 g/t AuEq from 339.55 metres down hole.
  • APC-12 is the Company’s highest-grade intercept to date within the Main Breccia discovery at Apollo and includes broad, continuous and consistent zones of gold (1.15 g/t Au), silver (72 g/t Ag) and copper (0.38% Cu) grades. The mineralized angular Breccia consists of quartz porphyry clasts and a matrix of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite, all of which are over printed by CBM veins hosting quartz, carbonate, sphalerite and galena.
  • APC-14: 47.45 metres @ 1.36 g/t AuEq from 84.25 metres down hole (45 metres vertical) and 194.30 metres @ 2.00 g/t AuEq from 197.0 metres down hole (130 metres vertical). APC-14 intercepted two zones of mineralized angular breccia with a similar sulphide matrix to APC-12. The shallower zone was intersected only 45 metres below a recently discovered outcrop of the Main Breccia body. The deeper intercept is separated from the shallower one by a post mineralization, diorite dyke and includes the highest proportion of copper intersected to date within the Main Breccia discovery grading 0.44% copper over the entire 194.30 metre interval. 
  • APC-11 was drilled specifically to target a zone of high grade CBM veins and intersected multiple sheeted northwest trending veins and returned a grade range of 11.9 g/t AuEq to 3.48 g/t AuEq over widths ranging from 0.55 metres to 1.35 metres.
  • APC-13 was sited to intersect the Main Breccia body at depth but was terminated early due to mechanical issues with the rig. Prior to termination, the hole did intercept multiple CBM veins at shallow elevations including:
  • Three rigs continue to drill at the Apollo project with additional assay results anticipated in the near term, including potentially significant step out holes drilled to the north well past the currently modeled northern boundary of the Main Breccia system.
  • The Apollo target area, as defined to date by surface mapping, rock sampling and copper and molybdenum soil geochemistry, covers an 800 metres X 700 metres area. The Apollo target area hosts the Company’s new Main Breccia discovery plus a vein system located above and on the eastern flank of the Main Breccia discovery and the Northern Breccia discovery located 250 metres to the north of the Main Breccia. Multiple additional untested breccia, porphyry and vein targets have been generated and will be drilled in due course. The overall Apollo target area also remains open for further expansion.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO) (“Millrock”) is pleased to report that a significant exploration target of Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralization has been identified at Millrock’s 100% owned Nikolai Project. The Nikolai Project is located within Alaska’s Delta Mining District, approximately 130 kilometers by road south of Delta Junction and approximately 280 kilometers southeast of Fairbanks. The Eureka zone consists of disseminated Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralization initially discovered by a subsidiary of INCO and further expanded by Pure Nickel Inc., as reported in their press releases released between 2007-2014.

Millrock President and CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “Our exploration geologists have outlined a block of mineralized rock that could likely be converted to a NI43-101 compliant Inferred Resource with a single drill program estimated to cost approximately $2 million. If successful, Millrock estimates the resulting Inferred Resource may comprise a deposit with approximately 400,000 metric tonnes of contained nickel metal, plus copper, cobalt, and platinum group metals. Other companies exploring similar deposits have significantly higher market capitalization than Millrock. Establishing an Inferred Resource at Nikolai could substantially increase the value of the Company. The planned drilling program would delineate an Inferred Resource over a 400-meter-long strike length. However, indications from sparse drilling along strike in both directions indicate the suspected deposit may be in excess of five kilometers long and contain a very large, albeit low-grade metal endowment.”

Based on historical INCO Ltd. drill hole assay data available to Millrock, newly received assays reported on September 26, 2022, and positive mineralogy results reported on September 29, 2022, Millrock has established a clear exploration target. From the data, a block of mineralized rock measuring 400 meters by 300 meters by 400 meters has been outlined. Drill density is not presently sufficient to calculate an Inferred Resource. However, it is estimated that the exploration target contains between 140 million tonnes and 211 million tonnes, with grades ranging from 0.28% nickel equivalent (“NiEq”*) to 0.42% NiEq*. The target has been developed and modeled in 3D using the average thickness and grade from historical drill holes FL-003 and FL-006 of the Upper Eureka Zone, Central Eureka Zone and Lower Eureka Zone (Figure 1). Historical density studies of the Nikolai ultramafic sequence have returned an average density of 2.83 g/cm3, which was used in the tonnage calculation for this exploration target.

This target is based on two drill hole intersections, extrapolated along strike ~400-meter distance, with the base of the target as the lower mineralized elevation of FL-003. Additional drill holes reported by Pure Nickel are present in the area but were not used in exploration targeting as Millrock does not have access to the full dataset.

Table 1 below details the exploration target’s potential grade and tonnage, with the potential tonnage and grade using a maximum and minimum increase/decrease of 20% to allow for uncertainty.

The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has not been sufficient exploration drilling to estimate a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Additionally, significant upside potential exists, as historical geophysical reports indicated a VTEM anomaly ~3.5 kilometer in length and 400 to 600 meters in width in this part of the Eureka Zone. The developed exploration target accounts for only 12% of the length of the VTEM anomaly (Figure 1). Historical drill hole assay results in this VTEM anomaly, reported by Pure Nickel Inc. (Pure Nickel Inc., News Release, October 29th, 2013), indicate an area of mineralization with an estimated true width ranging from 94.8 meters to 320 meters, and grades ranging from 0.20% to 0.25% nickel, 0.05% to 0.15% copper, 0.016% to 0.019% cobalt, 39 ppb to 96 ppb platinum, 62 ppb to 156 ppb palladium and 11 ppb to 31 ppb Au, with a calculated nickel equivalent (NiEq) ranging from 0.33% to 0.47%.

As reported previously, the Millrock Qualified Person (QP) does not have access to all the Pure Nickel Inc. drill logs, assay results, and geophysical data and has no way to verify the results that were published. The Millrock QP has access to the drill logs and assay certificates for the INCO holes that are designated with the “FL” prefix.

Exploration Target Drill Testing
A drill program consisting of seven holes totaling approximately 2,750 meters has been recommended. If successful, the program would, along with historical drill hole information, provide a drill density on 200 meters centers. This drill hole density is believed to be adequate to allow a calculation of an Inferred Resource, given the apparent relative continuity and homogeneity of the mineralized zone. Figure 2 depicts the approximate surface locations of the recommended drill collars for the intial test. Millrock anticipates that the recommended program will prove the exploration target holds significant mineralization and could be expanded along the VTEM anomaly.

All six metallurgical drill holes were drilled from surface using wide diameter PQ core (85mm) between June 6 and August 10, 2022. The purpose of the program was to collect samples from areas scheduled for mining in the first 3 years of development. These assays presented are a result of one eighth split core, with the remaining seven eighths being sent to Bureau Veritas metallurgical laboratory in Vancouver, Canada for test work to assist in the design of optimised recoveries. As this is a metallurgical program, the holes were designed to intersect some vein sets at an oblique angle in-order to maximise mineralized sample recovery and as such, while drill widths does not necessarily represent true widths, the results provide information on the continuity of Au grades. The URW1 lode is interpreted to strike north-south and dip steeply east and has a true width of approximately 1 to 7 metres. The Murau lodes are interpreted to strike east-west with a moderate southerly dip with multiple lodes of true-width between 0.3 and 4 metres. The SKL lodes are dip subhorizontally, with true-widths of between 0.3 and 1 metre.

Lion One CEO Walter Berukoff commented, “These latest results underscore the continuous, high-grade nature of the mineralization at Tuvatu. Each batch of drill results adds enormous value to the project in both addition of ounces to the total metal budget as well as clarification of important upside potential.”

Qualified Person
In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), Sergio Cattalani, P.Geo, Senior Vice President Exploration, is the Qualified Person for the Company and has reviewed and is responsible for the technical and scientific content of this news release.

QAQC Procedures
Lion One adheres to rigorous QAQC procedures above and beyond basic regulatory guidelines in conducting its sampling, drilling, testing, and analyses. The Company utilizes its own fleet of diamond drill rigs, using PQ, HQ and NQ sized drill core rods. Drill core is logged and split by Lion One personnel on site. Samples are delivered to and analysed at the Company’s geochemical and metallurgical laboratory in Fiji. Duplicates of all samples with grades above 0.5 g/t Au are both re-assayed at Lion One’s lab and delivered to ALS Global Laboratories in Australia (ALS) for check assay determinations. All samples for all high-grade intercepts are sent to ALS for check assays. All samples are pulverized to 80% passing through 75 microns. Gold analysis is carried out using fire assay with an AA finish. Samples that have returned grades greater than 10.00 g/t Au are then re-analysed by gravimetric method. For samples that return greater than 0.50 g/t Au, repeat fire assay runs are carried out and repeated until a result is obtained that is within 10% of the original fire assay run. For samples with multiple fire assay runs, the average of duplicate runs is presented. Lion One’s laboratory can also assay for a range of 71 other elements through Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), but currently focuses on a suite of 9 important pathfinder elements. All duplicate anomalous samples are sent to ALS labs in Townsville QLD and are analysed by the same methods (Au-AA26, and Au-GRA22 where applicable). ALS also analyses for 33 pathfinder elements by HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach and ICP-AES (method ME-ICP61).

Goldshore Intersects 62.8m @ 0.88% Copper Equivalent at North Coldstream with Significant Cobalt Assays

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 4, 2022) – Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce assay results from its initial scout drilling campaign testing the historic North Coldstream copper mine (“North Coldstream“) at the Moss Lake Project in Northwest Ontario, Canada (the “Moss Lake Gold Project“).

Highlights:

  • Initial results from one North Coldstream hole confirm significant copper, cobalt and gold mineralization hosted within a sheared volcanic massive sulphide deposit with best intercepts of:
    • 62.8m @ 0.88% CuE (0.36% Cu, 0.06% Co, 0.30 ppm Au and 3.1 ppm Ag) from 8.2m depth in CND-22-006, including
      • 13.35m @ 1.18% CuE (0.54% Cu, 0.07% Co, 0.39 ppm Au and 3.5 ppm Ag) from 8.2m
      • 14.65m @ 1.30% CuE (0.57% Cu, 0.09% Co, 0.39 ppm Au and 4.4 ppm Ag) from 23.1m
  • These copper and cobalt results confirm that North Coldstream has important critical mineral value and highlights multiple deposit styles in the district, which is a hallmark of important mineral districts worldwide.
    • North Coldstream was mapped by last year’s VTEM survey (press release dated March 10, 2022) as a discrete magnetic conductor. There are twelve similar targets in the Moss Lake Project, highlighting the potential for similar copper-cobalt-gold deposits.
  • Drilling also identified a gold only intercept of 2.1m @ 1.88 g/t Au from 98.9m in the footwall to the North Coldstream VMS deposit, which is related to the East Coldstream style of mineralization 1.6 kilometers to the east, suggesting greater continuity of the gold-bearing structures.

President and CEO Brett Richards stated: “Although we are very focused on the Moss Lake drilling and defining a higher-grade resource within the lower grade historical resource; these findings at North Coldstream are extremely encouraging and provide tremendous potential optionality in the future. As we have illustrated previously to the market, North Coldstream was a past producing copper-gold mine, so these results are not unexpected. However, I think the exciting story is the emergence and identification of cobalt in the historic mine. These drill results prove the value and priority of further drilling and exploration at the North Coldstream deposit, and could identify it as a critical mineral asset, which is important for the development of renewable energies, electrification of vehicles and global decarbonization initiatives.”

The Company has completed six scout holes to test the geology and multi-element chemistry of the North Coldstream deposit that was mined for copper between 1957 and 1967. The challenging aspect of this program has been drilling to avoid the historic stopes, which has meant, at this stage, drilling the fringes of the deposit as we target extensions to shoots.

CND-22-006 intersected a broad zone of copper mineralization associated with the western edge of the historic workings. While gold and silver credits were expected, based on historic production figures, elevated levels of cobalt in the range of 0.02 to 0.2% Co suggest previously unrecognized critical mineral value at North Coldstream.

A review of the geology has confirmed that the deposit is a sheared volcanic massive sulphide deposit with chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization associated with brecciated siliceous cherts containing variable amounts of syngenetic magnetite (Figure 4). Minor sphalerite mineralization defines a very distinct 40-meter halo around the main massive sulphide lens, bolstering the interpretation of a VMS setting for the mineralization. Within the massive sulphide lens copper, cobalt, gold, and silver grades track each other closely, indicating that they precipitated as part of a single event. In contrast, the narrow intervals of gold mineralization outboard of the main lens are associated with quartz-carbonate veining and have only minor silver and weak copper-cobalt values. These are likely related to the gold mineralization 1.6 kilometers along strike at the East Coldstream deposit and highlight the prospectivity of this trend for additional gold targets.

The Company will address the backlog of North Coldstream core once it has cleared the balance of drill core from Moss Lake. Future drilling will target pillars within the deposit, potential depth extensions, and test similar targets in the district that are characterized by magnetic conductors (press release dated March 10, 2022).

Pete Flindell, VP Exploration for Goldshore, said, “These drill results confirm our expectations of high-grade copper mineralization, especially as we are on the margin of the volcanic massive sulphide lens, and are extremely encouraging with respect to Cobalt grades. While the five pending holes are also around the margin of the system, and therefore likely to contain similar grades, I look forward to drilling closer to the core of the deposit to understand how the critical mineral elements may increase. These data will be invaluable in guiding our future drilling of similar, untested targets within the Moss Lake Project.”

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures

All samples were sent to ALS Geochemistry in Thunder Bay for preparation and analysis was performed in the ALS Vancouver analytical facility. ALS is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for the Accreditation of Mineral Analysis Testing Laboratories and CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were analyzed for gold via fire assay with an AA finish (“Au-AA23”) and 48 pathfinder elements via ICP-MS after four-acid digestion (“ME-MS61”). Samples that assayed over 10 ppm Au were re-run via fire assay with a gravimetric finish (“Au-GRA21”).

In addition to ALS quality assurance / quality control (“QA/QC”) protocols, Goldshore has implemented a quality control program for all samples collected through the drilling program. The quality control program was designed by a qualified and independent third party, with a focus on the quality of analytical results for gold. Analytical results are received, imported to our secure on-line database and evaluated to meet our established guidelines to ensure that all sample batches pass industry best practice for analytical quality control. Certified reference materials are considered acceptable if values returned are within three standard deviations of the certified value reported by the manufacture of the material. In addition to the certified reference material, certified blank material is included in the sample stream to monitor contamination during sample preparation. Blank material results are assessed based on the returned gold result being less than ten times the quoted lower detection limit of the analytical method. The results of the on-going analytical quality control program are evaluated and reported to Goldshore by Orix Geoscience Inc.

About Goldshore

Goldshore is an emerging junior gold development company, and owns the Moss Lake Gold Project located in Ontario. Wesdome is currently a large shareholder of Goldshore with an approximate 27% equity position in the Company. Well-financed and supported by an industry-leading management group, board of directors and advisory board, Goldshore is positioned to advance the Moss Lake Gold Project through the next stages of exploration and development.

About the Moss Lake Gold Project

The Moss Lake Gold Project is located approximately 100 km west of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is accessed via Highway 11 which passes within 1 km of the property boundary to the north. The Moss Lake Gold Project covers 14,292 hectares and consists of 282 unpatented and patented mining claims.

The Moss Lake Gold Project hosts a number of gold and base metal rich deposits including the Moss Lake Deposit, the East Coldstream Deposit (Table 3), the historically producing North Coldstream Mine (Table 4), and the Hamlin Zone, all of which occur over a mineralized trend exceeding 20 km in length. A historical preliminary economic assessment (the “Moss Lake Historical Estimate“) was completed on the Moss Lake Gold Project in 2013 and published by Moss Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“Moss Lake Gold Mines“)1,3. A historical mineral resource estimate (the “East Coldstream Historical Estimate“) was completed on the East Coldstream Deposit in 2011 by Foundation Resources Inc.2,3 In addition to these zones, the Moss Lake Gold Project also hosts a number of under-explored mineral occurrences which are reported to exist both at surface and in historically drilled holes. The Moss Lake Deposit is a shear-hosted disseminated-style gold deposit which outcrops at surface. It has been drilled over a 2.5 km length and to depths of 300 m with 376 holes completed between 1983 and 2017. The last drilling program conducted in 2016 and 2017 by Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (“Wesdome“), which consisted of widely spaced holes along the strike extension of the deposit was successful in expanding the mineralized footprint and hydrothermal system 1.6 km to the northeast. Additionally, the deposit remains largely open to depth. In 2017, Wesdome completed an induced polarization survey which traced the potential extensions of pyrite mineralization associated with the Moss Lake Deposit over a total strike length of 8 km and spanning the entire extent of the survey grids.

The East Coldstream Deposit is a shear-hosted disseminated-style gold deposit which locally outcrops at surface. It has been drilled over a 1.3 km length and to depths of 200 m with 138 holes completed between 1988 and 2017. The deposit remains largely open at depth and may have the potential for expansion along strike. Historic drill hole highlights from the East Coldstream Deposit include 4.86 g/t Au over 27.3 m in C-10-15.

The historically producing North Coldstream Mine is reported to have produced significant amounts of copper, gold and silver4 from mineralization with potential iron-oxide-copper-gold deposit style affinity. The exploration potential immediately surrounding the historic mining area is not currently well understood and historic data compilation is required.

The Hamlin Zone is a significant occurrence of copper and gold mineralization, and also of potential iron-oxide-copper-gold deposit style affinity. Between 2008 and 2011, Glencore tested Hamlin with 24 drill holes which successfully outlined a broad and intermittently mineralized zone over a strike length of 900 m. Historic drill hole highlights from the Hamlin Zone include 0.9 g/t Au and 0.35% Cu over 150.7 m in HAM-11-75.

The Moss Lake, East Coldstream and North Coldstream deposits sit on a mineral trend marked by a regionally significant deformation zone locally referred to as the Wawiag Fault Zone in the area of the Moss Lake Deposit. This deformation zone occurs over a length of approximately 20 km on the Moss Lake Gold Project and there is an area spanning approximately 7 km between the Moss Lake and East Coldstream deposits that is significantly underexplored.

The qualified persons for the Moss Lake Historical Estimate are Pierre-Luc Richard, MSc, PGeo (InnovExplo Inc), and Carl Pelletier, BSc, PGeo (InnovExplo Inc), and the effective date of the Moss Lake Historical Estimate is February 8, 2013. In-Pit results are presented undiluted and in situ, within Whittle-optimized pit shells. Underground results are presented undiluted and in situ, outside Whittle-optimized pit shells. The Moss Lake Historical Estimate includes 18 gold-bearing zones and 1 envelope containing isolated gold intercepts. Whittle parameters: mining cost = C$2.28; pit slope angle = 50.0 degrees; production cost = C$9.55; mining Dilution = 5%; mining recovery = 95%; processing recovery = 80% to 85%; gold price = C$1,500. In-Pit and Underground resources were compiled at cut-off grades from 0.3 to 5.0 g/t Au (for sensitivity characterization). A cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au was selected as the official in-pit cut-off grade and a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au was selected as the official underground cut-off grade. The Moss Lake Historical Estimate is based on 352 diamond drill holes (90,978 m) drilled from 1983 and 2008. A fixed density of 2.78 g/cm3 was used. A minimum true thickness of 5.0 m was applied, using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed or a value of zero when not assayed. Capping was established at 35 g/t Au, supported by statistical analysis and the high grade distribution within the deposit. Compositing was done on drill hole sections falling within the mineralized zone solids (composite = 1 m). Resources were evaluated from drill hole samples using the ID2 interpolation method in a multi-folder percent block model using Gems version 6.4. Based on geostatistics, the ellipse range for interpolation was 75m x 67.5m x 40m. The Indicated category is defined by combining the blocks within the two main zones and various statistical criteria, such as average distance to composites, distance to closest composite, quantity of drill holes within the search area. Ounce (troy) = metric tons x grade / 31.10348. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t). The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations in NI 43-101.

The East Coldstream Historical Estimate is based on a 0.4 g/t Au cut-off grade. The qualified persons for the East Coldstream Historical Estimate are Todd McCracken, P.Geo. (Tetratech Wardrop), and Jeff Wilson, Ph.D., P.Geo. (Tetratech Wardrop), and the effective date of the East Coldstream Historical Estimate is December 12, 2011. Resources are presented unconstrained, undiluted and in situ. The East Coldstream Historical Estimate includes 2 gold-bearing zones. A cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au was selected as the official resource cut-off grade. The East Coldstream Historical Estimate is based on 116 diamond drill holes drilled from 1986 to 2011. A fixed density of 2.78 g/cm3 was used. Capping was established at 5.89 g/t Au and 5.70 g/t Au for domains EC-1 and EC-2, respectively. This is supported by statistical analysis and the high grade distribution within the deposit. Compositing was done on drill hole sections falling within the mineralized zone solids (composite = 1 m). Resources were evaluated from drill hole samples using the ID2 interpolation method in a multi-folder percent block model using Datamine Studio 3 version 3.20.5321.0. Resource categorization is based on spatial continuity based from the variography of the assays within the drillholes. Ounce (troy) = metric tons x grade / 31.10348. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t). The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations in NI 43-101.

(3) The reader is cautioned that the Moss Lake Historical Estimate East and the East Coldstream Historical Estimate (the “Historical Estimates“) are considered historical in nature and as such is based on prior data and reports prepared by previous property owners. The reader is cautioned not to treat them, or any part of them, as current mineral resources or reserves. The Company has determined these historical resources are reliable, and relevant to be included here in that they demonstrate simply the mineral potential of the Moss Lake Gold Project. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the Historical Estimates as current resources and Goldshore is not treating the Historical Estimates as current resources. Significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the Historical Estimates can be classified as a current resource. There can be no assurance that any of the historical mineral resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Even if classified as a current resource, there is no certainty as to whether further exploration will result in any inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource category. The Historical Estimates relating to inferred mineral resources were calculated using prior mining industry standard definitions and practices for estimating mineral resource and mineral reserves. Such prior definitions and practices were utilized prior to the implementation of the current standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining for mineral resource estimation, and have a lower level of confidence.
