Advance Gold $AAX.ca Starts Phase 3 Drilling at the Tabasquena Project in Zacatecas, Mexico $MGG.ca $SIL.ca $FA.ca

  • phase 3 drilling is underway at the Tabasquena mine in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico
  • Two targets are planned to be drilled:
  • One target is a near surface, the other a deeper test for the boiling zone of the cluster of epithermal veins drilled in the two earlier phases of drilling.
  • Advance discovered a cluster of epithermal veins through drilling, all but a few of them blind. This suggests drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 22, 2019) – Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce phase 3 drilling is underway at the Tabasquena mine in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico. Two targets are planned to be drilled during this program, one is a near surface target and the other deeper to test the boiling zone of the cluster of epithermal veins drilled in the two earlier phases of drilling.

Highlights of Phase 1 and 2 Drilling

Advance discovered a cluster of epithermal veins through drilling, all but a few of them blind. This suggests drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system. From a regional perspective, most of the veins found near the city of Fresnillo, including those found at the Fresnillo Plc. and Mag Silver Juanicipio joint venture are blind.

Often, at the top of an epithermal vein system, anomalous to low grade is expected, which was found in phase 1 and 2 drilling. Also present in the core is milky quartz and amethyst, another important indicator of being at the top of an epithermal vein system. Importantly, crustiform and colloform quartz was encountered which are indicative of a long lived, multiple phase system.

Phase 3 Drilling Plans

Two shallow holes, around 150 metres each, are planned to test the near term production potential in the oxide zone of the Tabasquena vein. In the phase 2 drilling, a 12 metre intersection of the Tabasquena vein in the oxides was hit. This vein in the oxides is much wider than the historical 2-4 metre mining widths utilized by former operator Penoles. This intersection was a 125 metre step out to the north of the old mine workings and is approximately 75 metres along strike from the 100 metre deep shaft and headframe. Advance has mining equipment on site and the Tabasquena project is fully permitted for mining.

A key focus of the phase 3 drilling will be to drill deeper to target the boiling zone of the epithermal vein system. The cluster of veins dip toward a fault which is considered a key structural feature. A proposed deep hole will start from the west side of the fault, drill east, to then go through the cluster of veins to catch them at the boiling zone. This hole is planned for approximately 700-800 metres of depth, based on the well understood model of epithermal veins in the area, this depth should reach the boiling zone.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “In past drilling, we have been able to hit important milestones drilling at the Tabasquena, with the discovery of a wider portion of the Tabasquena vein in the oxide zone, and the discovery of a cluster of epithermal veins. Our team is excited to test these two important targets. Considering we have a mine permit, and underground workings, plus that many streamers and royalty companies are in need of new projects to deploy their cash, makes the near surface drilling an important drill target. The deep drilling is very exciting as well. Our past drilling has shown we have a large epithermal vein cluster, mineralization of gold and silver, and that it is a long-lived system. Now comes the exciting part, drilling deeper to test for the boiling zone of the system.”

  • 3 prospecting licenses have been issued for the three claims that comprise the Advane Gold – Acacia Mining JV
  • Two of the claims are located on either side of Acacia Mining’s 100% owned ground on the Liranda corridor.
  • Acacia’s 100% owned ground Owns a resource estimate of 1.2 million ounces of gold with an average grade of 12.6 g/t.
  • Claim PL/2018/0211 has seen past drilling that returned a highlight hole of 6 metres of 30.9 g/t gold, April 18/2016

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 28, 2019) – Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that new prospecting licenses have been issued for the three claims (PL/2018/0210, PL/2018/0211 and PL/2018/0212) that make up the West Kenya, Advance Gold – Acacia Mining joint venture. Two of the claims are located on either side of Acacia Mining’s 100% owned ground on the Liranda corridor.

On Acacia’s 100% owned ground a resource estimate (from the Isulu Shoot) was announced in February 2018, consisting of 1.2 million ounces of gold with an average grade of 12.6 g/t. The Isulu Shoot zone is contiguous to Advance Gold’s license PL/2018/0211 and PL/2018/0210. Mineralization hosted on Acacia’s property is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization hosted on the properties that make up the Advance-Acacia joint venture. In addition, claim PL/2018/0211 has seen past drilling that returned a highlight hole of 6 metres of 30.9 g/t gold, see April 18/2016 news release.

The joint venture is owned 85.37% by Acacia and 14.63% by Advance Gold. If during the joint venture either party decides to sell their interest, the other party has a first right of refusal on any offering price. If Advance Gold is diluted down to a 10% interest (approximately $1.7 million in exploration to dilute), then its interest converts to a 3% uncapped net smelter royalty (NSR). In the event that Advance Gold is diluted to a NSR, Acacia Mining has no first rights of refusal and the NSR can be sold directly to any interested party.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “Management is delighted with the new licenses for our strategically located claims in Kenya that have been recently re-issued. The joint venture claims have seen high-grade gold intersections in past drilling, and are located on the Liranda corridor on either side of Acacia Mining’s high-grade gold resource at their Isulu Shoot. Based on the past work at the joint venture claims, including drilling, geophysics, and surface sampling, the potential of the project is clear and why an Acacia Mining sized company is our partner. Acacia Mining is 64% owned by Barrick Gold Corporation, so it is fair to say from Barrick’s public statements about deposit size, that they are looking for more than 1.2 million ounces. A logical move by Acacia Mining will be to drill more extensively on the joint venture ground so as to enhance Acacia Mining’s known resource. Now that we have the new licenses, Advance Gold will evaluate its options to participate in further exploration, or be diluted down to a NSR. We are also considering the option to sell our interest as we feel that it is an attractive asset for gold miners, streamers and royalty companies that are hard pressed to put their cash to work as there aren’t a lot of high-grade gold projects to choose from.”

About the Liranda Corridor Claims

The Liranda Corridor is found on the map below (from the Acacia Mining corporate presentation Feb. 2019) and it has been the focus of Acacia’s exploration in western Kenya.

On Acacia Mining’s 100% owned ground, they have an inferred resource of 1.2 million ounces at 12.1 g/t gold. The entire resource is on the Isulu Shoot and can be seen in the upper right corner of the map and is highlighted in red. The Isulu Shoot occurs in the same structures that extend onto the Advance Gold-Acacia Mining joint venture ground.

Past drilling on the joint venture ground, has returned some of the highest reported grades from the Liranda corridor. Including highlight drill intersections of 6 metres of 30.9 g/t gold (drillhole – KDAC0152), see April 18/2016 news release.

Acacia Mining has determined the scope of the resource on their 100% ground. It is clear from the geological setting, the structural trends and past drilling on the joint venture ground that it is a prime target area to enhance the Acacia Mining resource.
