The Gold Drop Property covers 5,628 hectares of geologically prospective ground in the well-mineralized Greenwood District, and hosts 8 or more known low-sulfide, gold-bearing veins or vein systems. These historical showings have had limited modern exploration. Recently, the Greenwood area has had a renewed interest by major and junior companies exploring precious and base metals in the district.

The 2018 diamond drill program carried out by the Company focused on the C.O.D vein. The vein was first identified to be a target of interest in the spring of 2017. Following initial sampling of the vein the Company conducted mechanical trenching and drilling. The results of the 2017 program were encouraging and the Company launched a winter drill program in 2018. The program followed up on the 2017 drilling. The Company completed additional diamond drilling during the fall of 2018, completing a series of exploration holes south of the C.O.D trench. Here the holes intercepted the vein, successfully extending the vein by 160 meters.

During 2018 a total of 71 diamond drill holes were completed on the C.O.D vein structure and 19 diamond drill holes were completed on the Everest vein for a total of 5,616 meters of drilling. The highlights of the program are COD18-67 that intersected 129 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meters core length and COD18-70 which intersected 107.5 g/t gold and 880 g/t silver over 6.90 meters core length. The highlights of the drilling are listed in the following table.

Hole ID Interval Length Gold (gpt) Silver (gpt) Te (gpt)
COD17-14 16.03 4.59 38.64
COD18-3 2.1 14.62 150.2 102

Note: Due to some tellurium drill core analyses being greater than the upper analytical limit of 500 g/t the weighted average value for tellurium could not be calculated for some intervals.

The 2018 trenching program was completed on targets located during the 2017 soil geochemical sampling program. The most significant discovery during the trenching is the southern extension of the historic Gold Drop Vein. Historic production from the Gold Drop Vein System is reported to be 335 tonnes mined during 1926-1988 (mainly during 1933-1941) with 5,020 grams of gold (14.99 g/t gold) and 35,894 grams of silver (107.1 g/t silver) recovered. Grab samples collected from this vein during 2018 assayed up to 3.37 g/t gold and 43.9 g/t silver.

The company completed a thorough trenching program in the C.O.D North area. This area is located approximately 600m to the north of the C.O.D drilling worksite. Here the company conducted trenching on targets identified during the 2017 soil geochemical sampling program.

Several quartz vein outcroppings were located and sampled in the trenches. The highlights include grab sample 112753 of rusty quartz vein that assayed 15.45 g/t gold, 159 g/t silver and 114.5 g/t tellurium; and sample 112759, a chip sample across a 40 centimeter wide northeast-southwest striking sub-vertical quartz vein, that assayed 21.7 g/t gold, 216 g/t silver and 149 g/t tellurium. The table below outlines the chip sample assays obtained.

Sample ID Sample type Au (ppm) Ag (ppm) Te (ppm)
112751 30 cm chip 1.43 12.8 10.2
112752 40 cm chip 4.26 26.8 18.25

$AAX.ca Advance Reports On 7th Hole of Drilling at Tabasquena Project in Mexico

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:25 PM on Tuesday, November 6th, 2018
https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.agoracom.com/public/companies/logos/564631/hub/advance-gold-large.png
  • Results for the 7th hole of drilling at the Tabasquena project, near Ojocaliente, Mexico
  • Over 30 epithermal veins have been discovered in the first 7 holes drilled
  • All but 2 of the veins discovered are blind
  • Phase 3 drilling is being planned to test deeper into the system in an attempt to locate the boiling zone of the various veins found to date.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 6, 2018) – Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) reports results for the 7th hole of drilling at the Tabasquena project, near Ojocaliente, Mexico. Over 30 epithermal veins have been discovered in the first 7 holes drilled below the oxide zone at the Tabasquena mine.

All but 2 of the veins discovered are blind, with no geophysical anomaly, nor do they come to surface. They were discovered through drilling at depth for known veins discovered in phase 1 drilling. They are confined to a side to side area of approximately 200 metres and 125 metres of strike. They all remain open along strike in both directions as well as at depth.

Drilling to date suggests a large epithermal vein cluster, phase 3 drilling is being planned to test deeper into the system in an attempt to locate the boiling zone of the various veins found to date.

AGT-07 Hole location details:

Bearing: N 40° E; Dip: -78°; Total Depth:351.50m. Coordinates: N 2’497,290 E 785,922.

Collar elevation: 2,065mosl.

Note: All vein widths cut by drills holes are not true widths, they represent the intersection of the incline hole with the dip of the vein. Advance is in the process to estimate true widths for all the vein intersections.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “Now that we have a handle on the size potential, we need to get a better understanding of the system with a view to locating the precious metal horizon. To date, we have hit anomalous to high-grade gold, and there was historical mining of silver by Penoles in the oxide zone of the Tabasquena vein. It is typical for precious metals to base metal zonation in these systems.

“Our exploration team looks forward to phase 3 drilling, our goal will be to test deeper into our cluster of epithermal veins. We are located in a world class region for epithermal vein mines, the cluster we have found holds good potential to reward our efforts.”

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located near the Tabasquena claims by Ojocaliente, Mexico. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to ALS Chemex in Zacatecas, Mexico, for sample preparation, then sent to ALS Chemex in Vancouver, Canada for assays. ALS Chemex is an accredited mineral analysis laboratory. All samples are analysed for gold using standard fire assay-AA (atomic absorption) techniques. The Company relies on ALS Chemex for QA/QC procedures and protocols for the assaying process.

Dr. Julio Pinto Linares is the qualified person for the Tabasquena project, since June 2018 when drilling began and throughout phase 2. Supervising drilling in the field for drill holes one through seven. He examined and reviewed core boxes in the field, supervised moving core boxes to the secure core storage facility located near the Tabasqueña mine. He was present during logging and sampling of the core, and kept control of all sample bags until delivered to the ALS Chemex Zacatecas, Mexico laboratory. He checked and was present during the QA/QC procedures and protocols during the preparation of the samples.
