MONTREAL, March 20, 2019 – MONARCH GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarch” or the “Corporation”) (TSX: MQR) (OTCMKTS: MRQRF) (FRANKFURT: MR7) is pleased to report the third and last set of assay results from the 2018 diamond drilling program at its wholly owned McKenzie Break gold project 25 kilometres north of Val-d’Or, near its Camflo and Beacon mills. The program started in September 2018 and ended in December 2018, with a total of 13,945 metres drilled in 61 holes. The purpose of the program was to explore below the known lenses and on the periphery of the multi-vein Green and Orange zones. Assays have been received for the last 20 holes totalling 5,052 metres of core (see table below and press releases dated February 28, 2019  and March 13, 2019 for a compilation of the 2018 assay results).

“With the solid high-grade results obtained from our 2018 drilling program, we have upgraded the status of McKenzie Break as one of our prime advanced exploration projects,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarch. “The program delivered beyond our expectations, enabling us to establish that the deposit remains open to the west, east, north and at depth and continues to hold excellent high-grade gold potential (see plan view and longitudinal). In fact, the next resource estimate has the potential to expand the underground deposit by 250 metres to the east, 100 metres to the north and 50 metres to the west. There is still a lot of exploration work to be done to fully assess the size and magnitude of this deposit, which remains largely underexplored. We are presently analyzing the results of the 2018 drilling and planning the follow-up program for 2019.”  

Hole MK-18-236 returned 12.60 g/t Au over 1.35 metres, including 55.90 g/t Au over 0.3 metre at 80 metres below surface. This interval is 65 metres southeast of hole MK-18-210, which returned a grade of 12.50 g/t Au over half a metre from the same horizon as hole MK-18-236, thereby extending the lens to the east and showing that it is still open. Hole MK-18-236 also intersected another lens, at a depth of 145 metres from surface, with values of 13.40 g/t Au over 2.0 metres, including 26.40 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, and 75 metres north, on the same horizon, hole MK-18-232 returned values of 6.84 g/t Au over 2.0 metres, including 13.65 g/t Au over 1.0 metre. These two intersections are connected by hole MK-18-211, 100 metres northwest of hole MK-18-236. The combination of these three holes on the same horizon will increase the underground resource in this sector. 

Hole MK-18-231, which returned a grade of 15.74 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, is to the north of the planned Green Zone open pit, in the middle of a triangle of three holes drilled by Monarch in 2018. These four holes are interpreted as being connected and are on the same horizon, creating a new lens. The three other holes are an average of 65 metres from hole MK-18-231 and grade an average of 5.42 g/t Au. The lens lies 200 metres below surface.

Hole MK-18-222 returned a grade of 13.95 g/t Au over 1.0 metre from 68 metres below surface. This intersection is 70 metres northwest of the Green Zone open pit and will help to increase the underground resource.

McKenzie Break is a high-grade, multiple-narrow-vein gold deposit hosted in the dioritic Pascalis batholith and underlain by porphyritic diorite and mafic and felsic volcanic rocks. On June 14, 2018, the Corporation reported an NI 43-101 pit-constrained resource of 48,133 ounces in the Indicated category and 14,897 ounces in the Inferred category on the property, as well as an underground resource of 53,448 ounces in the Indicated category and 49,130 ounces in the Inferred category, for a total of 165,608 ounces of gold (Source: NI 43-101 Technical Report on the McKenzie Break Project, April 17, 2018, Alain-Jean Beauregard, P.Geo., and Daniel Gaudreault, Eng., of Geologica Groupe-Conseil Inc., and Christian D’Amours, P.Geo., of GeoPointCom Inc.).

Sampling normally consists of sawing the core into equal halves along its main axis and shipping one of the halves to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Val-d’Or, Quebec for assaying. The samples are crushed, pulverized and assayed by fire assay, with atomic absorption finish. Results exceeding 3.0 g/t Au are re-assayed using the gravity method, and samples containing visible gold grains are assayed using the metallic sieve method. Monarch uses a comprehensive QA/QC protocol, including the insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates.

  • Holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 re-analyzed for exceeding the upper 500 (g/t) analytical limit for tellurium
  • New analytical results confirm high grade tellurium within the high-grade gold and silver intersections.
  • COD18-67, (7.28 meters core length) graded 823.4 g/t tellurium
  • COD18-70, (6.90 meters core length) graded 640.5 g/t Tellurium

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 18, 2019 / GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-V: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or “GGX“) is pleased to announce it has received tellurium analytical results for select drill core samples from the Fall 2018 diamond drill program at the Gold Drop Property, located in southern British Columbia. The Fall 2018 drill program was conducted at the C.O.D. Vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. The tellurium results are re-analyses of drill core samples from drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 which initially exceeded the upper 500 grams per tonne (g/t) analytical limit for tellurium. The re-analyses confirm high-grade tellurium for these drill holes, being associated with high-grade gold and silver (gold and silver results reported in News Releases of January 11 and 18, 2019):

  • COD18-67: 129 g/t gold, 1154 g/t silver & 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28-meter core length
  • COD18-70: 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver & 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-meter core length

The 2018 Fall diamond drill program tested the COD vein. The program followed up on results from previous 2018 diamond drilling at the southern extension of the COD vein. The highlights of the 2018 Fall drill program are drill hole COD18-67 which intersected 129.1 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meters core length and drill hole COD18-70 which intersected 107.5 g/t gold and 880 g/t silver over 6.90 meters core length (News Releases of January 11and 18, 2019). Both holes were drilled slightly northeast from the same site (COD18-67 at a 50-degree dip and COD-18-70 at a 54-degree dip) to intersect the northwest trending COD Vein at a shallower angle, the objective to test the continuity of the quartz veining and mineralization.

Fourteen drill core samples from the high-grade gold and silver intersections of drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 returned greater than the upper analytical limit of 500 g/t for tellurium during initial analysis (four acid ICP-MS analysis by ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver). As a result, the tellurium weighted average grades for these intersections could not be determined from initial analyses. ALS Canada Ltd. recently re-analyzed these 14 samples for tellurium by four acid ICP-AES. These new analytical results confirm high grade tellurium within the high-grade gold and silver intersections. For drill hole COD18-67, the near-surface interval of 23.19-30.47m (7.28 meters core length) graded 823.4 g/t tellurium. For drill hole COD18-70, the near-surface interval of 22.57-29.47m (6.90 meters core length) graded 640.5 g/t Tellurium. The 14 drill samples are listed as follows (core length):

Tellurium remains as one of the rarest elements on earth. Tellurium production has been a by-product of copper and gold mining. The production is limited, estimated to being on the order of 800 metric tonnes per year. According to the USGS total production for 2007 was 107 Mtonnes.

Up to recently, the sole use of tellurium has been alloying of other metals to increase the machinability of copper or to decrease the corrosive action of sulfuric acid on lead.

The most significant modern use of tellurium is the Cadmium-telluride (Cd-Te) photovoltaic solar cells. These solar cells are the forefront of solar power. One gigawatt (GW) of Cd-Te, at current efficiencies, would require approximately 93 metric tons of tellurium. These cells have the smallest carbon footprint and the shortest energy payback time of all solar cells. The efficiency of technology is constantly improving and the Cd-Te now takes up 5.1% of worldwide PV production.

PHOTOVOLTAICS REPORT, Freiburg, 27 August 2018

In the C.O.D vein system the tellurium occurs as a soft silver-grey telluride mineral. The telluride mineral is a Silver-Tellurium-Gold alloy speculated to be sylvanite. Whenever this mineral is observed in the drill core the interval has elevated silver, gold and tellurium values.

  • 100% owned Gold Hill property located in the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the Wildhorse River
  • 4 diamond drill holes on two sections totaling 2,087 meters of drilling. Nine hundred and twenty nine (929) drill core samples
  • This is the first time area has been drilled. The program successfully intersected multiple zones of gold.
  • A high grade intersection in hole NS18-01 contained 66.4 g/t gold over 0.2 meters (true width unknown)

Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – March 15, 2019) –  American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to report on drilling results from the late fall exploration program conducted on its 100% owned Gold Hill property located in the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the Wildhorse River east of Fort Steele, British Columbia. The preliminary program included four diamond drill holes on two sections totaling 2,087 meters of drilling. Nine hundred and twenty nine (929) drill core samples were analyzed.

The management and professionals that guided the exploration program are pleased and very encouraged by the results. There were multiple gold intersections in all 4 preliminary drill holes. A summary of the significant intersections and gold values is contained herein.

The 2018 drill program was conducted to test a Cretaceous age swarm of syenite porphyry dykes intruded into lower and middle Cambrian sediments. This is the first time that this package of rocks has ever been drilled. The drill program successfully intersected multiple zones of gold associated with several syenite dike targets as well as significant intervals of highly altered, silicified rock. In addition, there were several intersections of highly altered and, in some cases, calcareous sediments, some of which contained elevated gold values. These altered sediments will be further explored for gold content. They will also be useful as marker horizons guiding future drilling.

A high grade intersection in hole NS18-01 contained 66.4 g/t gold over 0.2 meters (true width unknown). This intersection correlates with prior historic gold values obtained in the area. Car samples and face samples from a drift (small tunnel) driven partially along the hanging wall of a syenite porphyry dyke in 1937 were assayed over a width of 1.5 feet (~0.5m). The car samples averaged 0.43 oz. Au per ton (13.4 g/t), 0.48 oz. (14.9g/t) Ag per ton and 2.3% Pb per ton over 40 feet (12.2m). The face samples along 22 feet (6.7m) averaged at 2.4 oz. Au per ton (74.6 g/t) 2.17 oz. (67.5 g/t) Ag per ton and 5.51% Pb.

The Gold Hill property covers approximately 836 hectares and is located along the eastern edge of the Kimberly Gold Trend. The property is road accessible by paved highway to Fort Steele and then by main logging roads to (and through) the property. Driving time from Cranbrook to the center of the property is less than one hour.

The property contains a significant portion of the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the Wild Horse River which is considered to be one of the greatest placer gold rivers in the entire province. Gold rushes have taken place there since the 1860’s that have yielded over 48 tonnes of reported gold, making it Canada’s 4th largest placer producer. The majority of the gold recovered from the Wild Horse was located along a 6 km stretch between Boulder Creek (upstream) and Brewery Creek (downstream). From the point where Boulder Creek enters the Wild Horse River for a distance of 6 kilometers downstream, a minimum of 1.5 million ounces (45,655,215 grams) of placer gold was recovered between 1864 and the 1930’s. In addition, an undetermined amount of placer gold was sold in the United States during this period but no records of the amount are available. The Boulder Creek drainage is the logical source of the placer gold recovered from the Wildhorse River below.

Early efforts by prospectors to locate the source of the Wild Horse placer gold led explorers up Boulder Creek to what is now called the Gold Hill property. Although lode gold was first found in the area by prospectors in the late 1800’s, the Gold Hill property has not been the subject of any systematic modern exploration and prior to this program, the property has never been drill tested.

Analysis of Results and Total Metal Discussion

Gold values, as tested by initial ICP analysis, range from slightly less than 0.5 g/t to 5.68 g/t. With reference to sample 043174 in hole NS18-01, where the initial analysis placed gold at >30,000 ppb (30.0 g/t), total metal analysis of the same sample returned a value of 66.4 g/t. To date, this is the only sample that has been analyzed for total metal. It was originally selected because of the proximal galena and visible gold.

Historical work on the property has noted the presence of metallic gold in samples that is not detected by conventional ICP analysis. A skilled, well trained and experienced Prospector discusses this phenom in Assessment Report 27,173 (Dec. 29, 2004). Again, in AR 34,920, (July 2015) a P. Geo. explained the presence of metallic gold. The following is a direct quote from AR 34,920 by the highly experienced P. Geo. who mapped the property: “work by the original prospectors and miners on the property from 1898 to 1957 did a good job of exposing gold-bearing structures and the related sulphides and gangue minerals. This work demonstrated the course nature of the gold which is commonly visible to the naked eye.”

In light of the strong possibility that metallic gold was missed by the initial assaying, further assay work including advanced testing for metallics will be conducted. As a first step, 12 samples, all of which indicate significant gold values, have been selected for total metal analysis. The company is looking forward to receiving the total metal gold value for the 12 samples selected for this purpose. The results will be available when the additional assay analysis is completed.

There is some correlation between anomalous Pb in the samples with higher gold values however, they do not always correlate.

Frank O’Grady, P. Eng. and QP for the project stated: “This first look at the underground geological structure in the Big Chief area of the property is very encouraging. Not only are we seeing gold associated with multiple syenite dyke contacts, but we are also seeing gold showing up in the highly altered sediments. To have intersected gold in every hole, especially since we had no prior drill holes on the property to guide us, indicates the potential scope and scale of the property’s potential going forward. We clearly have a large gold system we are dealing with here.”

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek stated: “This is a significant first step in unravelling the mystery of the potential source of the large quantity of Wild Horse river placer gold collected downstream. Not only are we seeing widespread gold mineralization on surface, but we now also have our first glimpse at what is going on underneath a portion of the property. This preliminary program will be a tremendous aid in guiding future work on the project.”

There are two main highly prospective targets on the property:

1. The Midas / Gold Hill prospect which is situated on the southern part of the property. The Midas is in an area of steep topography and is structurally controlled.

2. The Big Chief prospect which is situated on the northern portion of the property. The Big Chief is located on an area of moderate relief and is formed by hydrothermal activity from intruded syenite dikes of Cretaceous age.

The property is nominally divided into north and south portions by Boulder Creek which flows westerly through the property. This phase of the exploration program focused solely on a portion of the Big Chief prospect. The highly prospective area of the property situated south of Boulder Creek was not explored during 2018. This southern area, which includes high grade gold values in grab samples including 25.14 g/t from the Guggenheim showing, will be included in 2019 exploration.

Further Analysis

Initial logging of the core combined with sample results has provided a basic understanding of the underground geological structure as well as the gold and accompanying metals present in the previously undrilled package or rocks underlying the Big Chief showings.

Sections containing increased Au, sometimes Ag and in several cases increased base metals which include Pb, Cu and Zn are contained in sections of intense alteration. This alteration includes, but may not be limited to, silicification, sericitization, carbonatization (in some places) and increased epidote.

The core will be carefully re-examined during 2019 with key sections being relogged. The initial logging was done under inclement conditions including low temperatures and poor light and without the benefit of any prior drill core assays for reference.

  • Labrador Gold controls 57 kilometre a strike length of stratigraphy prospective for gold in the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt. Hopedale Project
  • Exploration program at Hopedale followed up on successful results of 2017 work that outlined regional scale gold in soil and lake sediment anomalies
  • Of these samples, 80 assayed greater than 0.1 g/t gold including 17 samples that assayed greater than 1 g/t gold.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LAB) (“Labrador Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results for rock samples from its Hopedale project in Labrador. The company controls a 57 kilometre strike length of stratigraphy prospective for gold in the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt. The exploration program at Hopedale followed up on successful results of 2017 work that outlined regional scale gold in soil and lake sediment anomalies along the length of the belt and included detailed soil sampling, geological mapping, rock sampling and prospecting.

A total of 588 rock samples were taken along the length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt during the regional prospecting and mapping program. Of these samples, 80 assayed greater than 0.1 g/t gold including 17 samples that assayed greater than 1 g/t gold. Results of the assays ranged from below the detection limit of 0.05 g/t to 11.4 g/t gold in a grab sample from a quartz vein with pyrite and arsenopyrite. Additional highlights include channel samples of 2.77 g/t gold over 2.1 metres and 2.37 g/t gold over 2 metres. Highlights of gold assays of grab samples include 4.55g/t gold from quartz porphyry and 2.52g/t and 2.46g/t gold from quartz veins that were altered or contained sulphide. Complete highlights of the program are shown in the table below.

*Note that grab samples are select samples and are not necessarily representative of gold mineralization found on the property.

While rock samples containing anomalous gold are found in many parts of the greenstone belt, most of the samples above 0.1g/t gold occur in the Jasmine/Shirley and Thurber Dog areas of the belt. At Jasmine/Shirley, the gold mineralization is associated with altered mafic volcanic rocks and phyllite that contain varying amounts of arsenopyrite from disseminated grains to veins of massive arsenopyrite. The highest-grade rocks in the area are from quartz veins with iron carbonate alteration.

At Thurber Dog, gold mineralization is associated primarily with altered porphyritic felsic volcanic rocks and quartz veins around the Thurber Dog occurrence and in the Thurber North area. At Thurber South the mineralization is associated with intensely carbonate altered ultramafic and mafic volcanic rocks and associated quartz veins. The mineralized rocks typically contain disseminated pyrite and, more rarely arsenopyrite.

“The results of our prospecting at Hopedale are very encouraging, especially since this was our first systematic rock sampling of the greenstone belt.” said Roger Moss, President and Chief Executive Officer of Labrador Gold. “Over 13% of the samples taken along the length of the belt returned results of more than 0.1 g/t gold and will be followed up in detail. In addition, significantly anomalous gold mineralization previously identified over a three kilometre strike length in the Thurber Dog portion of the belt continues to show excellent potential.”

All samples were shipped to the Bureau Veritas preparation laboratory in Timmins, Ontario, where they were crushed and split and a 500g sub sample pulverized to 200 mesh. Pulps were sent to the Vancouver laboratory for assay. Samples of 30g were analyzed for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and another 15g sample for 36 elements by ultratrace ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) following an aqua regia digestion. Overlimit samples (greater than 10g/t Au) are re-assayed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. In addition to the QA-QC conducted by the laboratory, the Company routinely submits blanks, field duplicates and certified reference standards with batches of samples to monitor the quality of the analyses.

About Labrador Gold:

Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in the Americas. In 2017 Labrador Gold signed a Letter of Intent under which the Company has the option to acquire 100% of the 896 square kilometre (km2) Ashuanipi property in northwest Labrador and the Hopedale (458 km2) property in eastern Labrador.

The Hopedale property covers much of the Hunt River and Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretch over 80 km. The belts are typical of greenstone belts around the world but have been underexplored by comparison. Initial work by Labrador Gold during 2017 show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 kilometres along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 57km strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35 km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville, which is linked by rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment gold anomalies that, with the exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program. Results of the 2017 reconnaissance exploration program following up the lake sediment anomalies show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north-south trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east-west trend. The anomalies appear to be broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional scale (see news release dated January 18th 2018). This suggests a possible structural control on the localization of the gold anomalies. Historical work 30 km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width) (Source: IOS Services Geoscientifiques, 2012, Exploration and geological reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer Field Season 2011). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with similar rock types.

The Company has 56,264,022 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

Tellurium (Te) remains as one of the rarest elements on earth. Tellurium production has been a by-product of copper and gold mining. The production is limited, estimated to being on the order of 800 metric tonnes per year. According to the USGS total production for 2007 was 107 Mtonnes.

Up to recently, the sole use of tellurium has been alloying of other metals to increase the machinability of copper or to decrease the corrosive action of sulfuric acid on lead.

The most significant modern use of tellurium is the Cadmium-telluride (Cd-Te) photovoltaic solar cells. These solar cells are the forefront of solar power. One gigawatt (GW) of Cd-Te, at current efficiencies, would require approximately 93 metric tons of tellurium. These cells have the smallest carbon footprint and the shortest energy payback time of all solar cells. The efficiency of technology is constantly improving and the Cd-Te now takes up 5.1% of worldwide PV production.


PHOTOVOLTAICS REPORT, Freiburg, 27 August 2018 (To view the full-size image, please click here)

In the C.O.D vein system the tellurium occurs as a soft silver-grey telluride mineral. The telluride mineral is a Silver-Tellurium-Gold alloy speculated to be sylvanite. Whenever this mineral is observed in the drill core the interval has elevated silver, gold and tellurium values.

Advance Gold has Identified up to 30 Epithermal veins through the first 2 stages of drilling.

  • AGT-02 Tabasquena intersected 19m of core and is discovery hole of 1.7m of 9.64g/t gold in first 10 metres assayed.
  • La Chiquita – 4.70m Intersection from (109.25 to 113.95) in AGT-04
  • AGT-04 Intersected new Vein Yaki for 0.8m, crosscutting La Chiquita vein for 4.70m,the Tabasquena vein for 10 metres in the oxide zone & the La Nina vein for 11m (129-140m depth)

Phase 3 Drilling

  • In the first two phases of drilling, Advance discovered a cluster of epithermal veins, all but a few of them blind, which suggests this drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system.
  • The results from the 2 phases of drilling returned significant gold mineralization (see Press Releases November 1, 2018 and November 6, 2018)
  • A key focus of the phase 3 drilling will be to drill deeper and 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 hole will start from the east side of the fault, drill west, to then go through the cluster of veins to catch them at the boiling zone.
