The focus of Great Atlantic’s work to date on the property has been the Bull Road showing, located in the southern region of Pilley’s Island. A trench was excavated in 2017 at this showing exposing sulfide mineralization over a northwest-southeast length of 130 meters with a width varying between 1-7 meters. The Bull Road Showing is a polylithic slump breccia of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization containing massive sulphide clasts up to greater than a meter in length. Sample results from this trench are reported in the Company’s News Releases of November 16 and December 14, 2017. Bull Road Trench sample highlights include (channel sample lengths are in meters):

  • 1.05m channel sample: 15.40% Zn, 6.60% Pb, 4.66% Cu, 111.5 g/t Ag and 1.008 g/t Au.

 

  • 0.70m channel sample: 17.30% Zn, 0.10% Pb, 2.97% Cu, 31.2 g/t Ag and 0.449 g/t Au.

 

  • 0.95m channel sample: 3.95% Zn, 0.73% Pb, 2.83% Cu, 62.2 g/t Ag and 0.613 g/t Au.

 

  • 1.00m channel sample: 2.96% Zn, 0.03% Pb, 3.27% Cu, 30.4 g/t Ag and 0.563 g/t Au

 

  • Outcrop grab sample: 40.8% Zn, 4.69% Pb, 6.08% Cu, 22.5 g/t Ag and 1.366 g/t Au.

The 2017 samples were analyzed at Eastern Analytical in Springdale Newfoundland (gold by Fire Assay – atomic absorption (AA); and copper, lead, zinc and silver by multi-acid digestion and AA). The channels samples were collected across selected clasts at generally right angles to the long dimension of the clasts.  The 2017 Bull Road trench sample data was verified by qualified persons who managed the sampling program and verified sample data.

Great Atlantic is planning a diamond drilling program for fall 2018 at the Bull Road showing.

The Pilley’s Island Property hosts the historic Pilley’s Island Mine, which operated during the 1890s and early 1900s. The Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources reports historic estimated proven reserves of 1.159 million tonnes grading 1.23% Cu (referencing Grimley, 1968 as the source) or 627,373 tons at 2.34% Cu (referencing Walker, 1976 as the source ) in their Mineral Occurrence Database. David Martin, VP Exploration for Great Atlantic, states “These historical estimates of reserves are not reliable. The historical estimates are only relevant to the extent of identifying an area on the property for research and possible future exploration. The key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historical estimates are not known.  A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current resources or current reserves. A qualified person would need to complete sufficient work following CIM Best Practice Guidelines to upgrade or verify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. This would almost certainly require additional exploration in the way of diamond drilling, trenching and / or underground work and corresponding sampling all of which must follow CIM Exploration Best Practice Guidelines.” Great Atlantic is not treating the historical estimates for the historic Pilley’s Island Mine as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

Access to and infrastructure at the Pilley’s Island Property is excellent. The property is serviced with power mains and government maintained roads and is within 2 km of tide water. The property is located within a mining friendly district.

Readers are warned that historical data on the historic Pilley’s Island Mine referred to in this News Release have not been verified by a qualified person. A qualified person has not verified this data as the Company’s focus since acquiring the property in 2017 has been the Bull Road showing.

David Martin, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and VP Exploration for Great Atlantic, is responsible for the technical information contained in this News Release.

  • Hole CR-18-606 returned 8.24 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 26.38 g/t Au over 2.6 metres
  • This intersection lies 328 vertical metres below surface, 54 metres north of and 34 metres below the mineralized intersection of hole CN-88-133, which was used to design the deepest stope in the mining plan

Drilling confirms grades for planned bulk sampling areas and continues to expand the deposit at depth and to the west

MONTREAL, Sept. 5, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques”, “Monarques Gold” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report additional assay results from the 2018 diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Croinor Gold project 50 kilometres east of Val-d’Or, Québec. The 20,000-metre program started in March 2018 and is focused on the expansion and infilling of the Croinor Gold deposit. The Phase 2 results are from a total of 5,327 metres of drilling in 27 holes (see plan view). Phase 2 drilling is complete, with assays pending, and Phase 3 drilling has started.

The Croinor Gold deposit is hosted in a sheared diorite sill three kilometres long by 60–120 metres wide, striking 295 degrees north and dipping 50–65 degrees to the north. The mineralization is associated with pyrite found within and adjacent to quartz-tourmaline veins. The goal of Phase 2 was to extend the Croinor Gold deposit farther west and infill the two areas slated for underground bulk sampling.

Hole CR-18-606 returned 8.24 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 26.38 g/t Au over 2.6 metres. This intersection lies 328 vertical metres below surface, 54 metres north of and 34 metres below the mineralized intersection of hole CN-88-133, which was used to design the deepest stope in the mining plan. Hole CR-18-601, drilled on the western part of the Croinor Gold deposit, 84 metres west of the nearest hole (CR-11-401) on the same horizon, returned 5.30 g/t Au over 1.1 metres in an intersection 336 metres below surface. These results show that the deposit is still open both at depth and to the west, and that further drilling is warranted.

Hole CR-18-610 returned 5.67 g/t Au over 7.0 metres just below the 500-foot level drift of the old mine, enlarging a planned stope on this level.

Infill drilling of two areas slated for bulk sampling returned 18.45 g/t Au over 0.9 metres, 12.00 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 11.25 g/t Au over 1.0 metres from the area on the 125-foot level and 12.50 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, 6.34 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 4.68 g/t Au over 1.2 metres from the area on the 250-foot level, in addition to other values shown in the table below. These encouraging numbers confirm and expand the two areas planned for bulk sampling on two different levels.  The area on the 125-foot level is in the western part of the deposit and the area on the 250-foot level is near the old shaft in the middle of the deposit.

“Drilling on Croinor Gold continues to generate excellent results,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “Like Phase 1, Phase 2 was a success, striking mineralized zones in 26 of the 27 holes, returning a number of high-grade intersections and enabling us to confirm the grades and continuity of the gold structures in the planned bulk samples areas and extend the deposit at depth and to the west. As we await the final results for Phase 2, we have commenced Phase 3 drilling, which in addition to definition drilling on planned stopes in the western sector of the deposit is focused on other promising exploration targets on the 151 km2  Croinor Gold property. From what we know of Croinor Gold to date, we believe that its gold discovery potential remains essentially untapped.”

The highlight from these analytical results is an intersection of 9.52 g/t gold & 118 g/t silver over 1.47 meters core length in drill hole COD18-49, including 24.5 g/t gold, 367 g/t silver and 186 g/t tellurium over 0.30 meter core length. This interval of quartz veining and altered wall rock inclusions is at approximately 22 meter vertical depth and approximately 140 meters southwest of the area of 2017 trenching at the COD Vein. This hole was drilled at a 45 degree dip to the northwest. Holes COD18-45 and COD18-46, drilled from the same set-up but to the west, also intersected near-surface high grade gold (News Releases of August 15 and 22, 2018) identifying this area as having potential for high grade gold mineralization. COD18-49 was drilled approximately 200 meters southwest of drill hole COD17-14 which intersected the 4.59 g/t gold over 16.03 meter core length, including 10.96 g/t gold over 5.97 meter core length (News Release of September 7, 2017).

The 2018 drilling program focused on testing and defining the COD Vein, a Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein. Trenching during 2017 exposed the northeast – southwest striking COD Vein for over 160 meter strike length. Numerous 2018 drill holes testing the COD Vein intersected significant levels of gold, silver and tellurium as reported in News Releases of May 29, June 14, June 27, July 11, July 19, July 25, August 1, August 9, August 15 and August 22. Most of these holes are southwest of the area of 2017 trenching. More significant gold intersections (core length) to date from the 2018 program are as follows:

  • COD18-3:       14.62 g/t Au over 2.1 meters
  • COD18-26:     10.3 g/t Au over 1.4 meter recovered core (within 2.35 meter interval)
  • COD18-28:     11.3 g/t Au over 0.51 meters
  • COD18-33:     8.65 g/t Au over 2.98 meters
  • COD18-34:     6.16 g/t Au over 3.41 meters
  • COD18-37:     8.23 g/t Au over 3.95 meters
  • COD18-45:     50.1 g/t Au over 2.05 meters
  • COD18-46:     54.9 g/t Au over 1.47 meters
  • COD18-49:     9.52 g/t Au over 1.47 meters

The 2018 drilling program also tested the continuation of the Everest Vein, which is located approximately 600 meters southwest of the COD Vein worksite. The Everest Vein was first discovered by Company prospectors during the 2017. Chip samples collected in 2017 across the approximate 0.4 meter wide vein exposure returned up to 52.8 g/t gold and 377 g/t silver while a grab sample of a quartz vein boulder broken off the outcrop by the excavator returned 81.8 g/t gold and 630 g/t silver (News Release of August 21, 2017).

In addition to the gold discovered by the Company at the COD and Everest Veins, gold mineralization is reported in in quartz veins in the east and north regions of the property. These include the Gold Drop, North Star and the Silent Friend quartz veins in the east region of the property and Amandy, Roderick Dhu, Lady of the Lake, Lake View and Moonlight in northern region of the property. High grade gold is reported for historic samples at some of these veins with samples reported to exceed 1 oz. / ton gold. Historic gold production occurred at the Gold Drop, North Star, Amandy and Roderick Dhu veins.

Drill core from the 2018 program was geologically logged and sampled. Drill core was sawn in half with half core samples submitted for analysis and remaining half core stored in a secure location. Core samples were delivered to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver to be analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – AA. Samples exceeding 100 g/t gold were re-analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – Gravimetric Finish. The samples were also analyzed for 48 Elements by Four Acid ICP-MS. Samples exceeding 100 g/t silver were re-analyzed for silver by Four Acid ICP-AES. One sample from COD18-46 exceeded 1500 g/t silver and was re-analyzed for silver by Fire Assay – Gravimetric Finish. Quality control (QC) samples were inserted at regular intervals.

  • Production activities at the Beaufor Mine will be temporarily suspended as of December 14, 2018, and the mine will be placed on care and maintenance.
  • The Corporation will continue its exploration activities at the Beaufor Mine in order to increase its gold resource over the longer term, given the many high-grade results obtained since the end of 2017.
  • Camflo’s custom milling operations, which reported another consecutive increase in revenues in the fourth quarter of more than 31%, will not be affected.
  • The Corporation will focus its efforts on developing and completing the feasibility study of its core asset, the Wasamac gold deposit, which contains measured and indicated resources of 2,587,900 ounces of gold (see Table 1 at the end of this release).
  • The Corporation has acquired land adjacent to the Wasamac project, with more than 1 km strategically located along the Trans-Canada Highway and the Ontario Northland Railway.
  • Monarques Gold has sold its 2% net smelter return royalty in the East Amphi property to Canadian Malartic GP for $250,000.

MONTREAL, Aug. 30, 2018 - MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) announced today that production activities at the Beaufor Mine will be temporarily suspended as of December 14, 2018. The suspension is primarily due to the low grades of the ore mined at Beaufor in recent quarters, combined with the persistent weakness in the price of gold and difficulties recruiting qualified manpower in the region. As a result, the mine’s workforce will be cut to around ten employees who will be assigned to care and maintenance of the mine and its facilities.

“This decision was necessary for the future of the Corporation,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “With the persistent weakness in the gold price and lower-than-expected grades, operations at the Beaufor Mine have been challenging in the last two quarters, a situation that had to be corrected at all costs. Over the coming quarters, we will be looking for ways to improve the mining grade while pursuing our exploration activities, which have generated very promising results. Our goal is to restart the Beaufor Mine as soon as we are able to ensure that our operations will be profitable.”

“We will also step up our efforts to develop Monarques’ main asset, the Wasamac gold deposit, which, by using the latest technology, has the potential to become a mine. We will soon issue an update on the status of the Wasamac feasibility study, where we are seeing some very encouraging developments. In terms of operations, it is important to underscore that our custom milling operations at the Camflo mill are growing every quarter and are expected to continue contributing positively to our results,” Mr. Lacoste added.

Exploration program and strategy at the Beaufor Mine

The new exploration strategy at the Beaufor Mine will aim to grow the high-grade gold resource over a longer-term horizon, in order to ensure greater operating profitability.

The many factors leading the Corporation to continue exploring at Beaufor, which has produced more than 1.1 million ounces over its lifetime, include the multiple high-grade results obtained since the end of 2017 and the fact that the mine still has excellent exploration potential along strike and at depth.

Along these lines, the Corporation has obtained new results from its 2018 drilling program. The results are for a total of 3,220 metres of drilling in 14 exploration holes. Nine of the holes intersected mineralization, including hole 18-150-68A, which returned 10.38 g/t Au over 7.65 metres, including 100.50 g/t Au over 0.50 metres in the QF1 vein. The QF veins generated other significant results, including 84.80 g/t Au over 1.65 metres, 59.45 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, 58.30 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, 32.51 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 26.50 g/t Au over 0.50 metres. The drill results are summarized in Table 2 at the end of this release.

Acquisition of strategic land adjacent to the Wasamac project

On August 24, 2018, Monarques acquired a property next to the Wasamac project to serve as the site of the project’s mining facilities. Located further away from the local community, the property has the added strategic advantage of including a stretch of more than 1 kilometre along the Trans-Canada Highway and the Ontario Northland Railway, easing transportation logistics for the mined material.

Sale of the East Amphi property royalty to Canadian Malartic GP

On August 21, 2018, the Corporation sold its 2% net smelter return royalty on the East Amphi property to Canadian Malartic GP for the sum of $250,000. The royalty was among the assets acquired from Richmont Mines but did not fit into the Corporation’s development plans.

Quality control and qualified person

Sampling normally consists of sawing the core into two equal halves along its main axis and shipping one of the halves to Val-d’Or for assaying at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory, which is fully accredited under ISO 17025. The samples are crushed, pulverized and assayed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish. Results exceeding 10.0 g/t are re-assayed using the gravity method. Certified standards and blanks are inserted into the sampling stream for quality control purposes.

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Marc-André Lavergne, P.Eng., the Corporation’s qualified person under National Instrument 43‑101.

  • Significantly, the first sighting of coarse visible gold has been made, within an interval that assayed 26.6 g/t gold over 1.5 meters in hole CB-18-32.
  • CB-18-32 intersected 1.036 g/t gold over 121.8 meters and 0.800 g/t gold over 49.5 meters

Cardston, Alberta–(August 27, 2018) – American Creek Resources Ltd (“the Company”) (TSXV: AMK) is pleased to report initial results from the 2018 Tudor Gold drill program on the Copper Belle zone of the Company’s Treaty Creek property in BC’s Golden Triangle. Gold, silver and copper analyses have been received from the first two holes. To date, five holes have been completed, totaling 3,899 meters and the sixth and seventh holes are proceeding.

The gold assays from the first two drill holes indicate broad intervals of more than 300 meters of gold mineralization that have expanded the known area of the Copper Belle zone, providing positive results that will be used in future resource calculations. Significantly, the first sighting of coarse visible gold has been made, within an interval that assayed 26.6 g/t gold over 1.5 meters in hole CB-18-32.

Walter Storm, Tudor Gold President and CEO, stated: “We are extremely encouraged by the broad intervals of gold mineralization encountered in the first two drill holes of the season at Copper Belle. The large step-outs with the drills will quickly evaluate a significant area of the porphyry system and we are prepared to drill deeper holes to explore the indications of continuing gold mineralization at depth. In addition, there is a three-kilometer interval between Tudor Gold’s Copper Belle discovery and Seabridge Gold’s Iron Cap deposit, in which our magnetotelluric geophysical survey has identified strongly anomalous targets that have yet to be drill tested.”

CB-1831, the first hole of the season, is a step-out hole that has expanded the known extent of the Copper Belle zone some 100 m to the west of previous drilling. CB-18-32, which is located 190 m south of hole 31, has also extended the zone more than 100 m to the west. Current drilling continues to step out successfully to the west in large jumps of 100 to 150 meters, providing information about a sizeable portion of the porphyry-style mineralized system. The Copper Belle zone appears to be a relatively flat-lying body that is located along trend, to the northeast of the Iron Cap Au-Cu deposit on the adjacent property of Seabridge Gold Corp. Holes at Copper Belle in 2018 are testing a magnetic high that measures some 600 meters by 500 meters and has previously only been drilled along its eastern and southern margins. For locations of the 2018 and other holes in the Copper Belle area that are overlain on Total Magnetics contours, please view the map below.

CB-18-31 intersected a 302 meter-long mineralized interval from 392.0 to 694.0 meters that averages 0.471 g/t gold. Within this section are zones of more intense silica alteration that contain greater concentrations of pyritic mineralization, which have returned higher gold values, such as 1.908 g/t Au over 20.5 meters.

CB-18-32 intersected two broad zones of mineralization; the upper zone averages 0.662 g/t gold over 337.8 meters and also contains intervals of stronger alteration and mineralization, such as 1.036 g/t gold over 121.8 meters and 0.800 g/t gold over 49.5 meters. The lower zone, 90 meters downhole from the first, averages 0.395 g/t gold over 169.5 meters, with higher grade intervals such as 0.758 g/t gold over 31.5 meters. Strong mineralization is present at the end of hole 32, indicating very good potential for continuing gold values at depth.

Gold, silver and copper results for holes CB-18-31 and CB-18-32 are summarized in the table below:

* All assay values are uncut and intervals reflect drilled intercept lengths.
* True widths of the mineralization have not been determined.

Earlier in the season, Tudor Gold field crews examined and channel sampled a new zone of porphyry-style veining that has recently been exposed by retreating glacial ice. This area is about 1.1 kilometers southwest of the Copper Belle zone, toward the Iron Cap deposit, and has not been previously sampled. Of the twelve samples, several were anomalous in gold, with values such as 0.522 g/t gold over 1.5 meters. Additional sampling in this new zone is planned.

  • Results have been received COD18-46 to COD18-48 which tested the COD Vein
  • 54.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 379 g/t silver over 1.47 meter core length in drill hole COD18-46

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire)GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce it has received additional analytical results from its diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood, B.C. Drill core analytical results have been received for 2018 drill holes COD18-46 to COD18-48 which tested the COD Vein. The COD gold bearing vein is located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone.

The highlight from these analytical results is an intersection of 54.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 379 g/t silver over 1.47 meter core length in drill hole COD18-46 which tested the COD Vein, including 223 g/t gold, 1,535 g/t silver and >500 g/t tellurium over 0.30 meter core length. This gold-bearing intersection of quartz veins and minor altered granodiorite in COD18-46 is located at approximately 25 meter vertical depth. This drill intersection is approximately 5 meters below the high grade intersection of drill hole COD-18-45 (50.1 g/t gold and 375 g/t silver over 2.05 meter core length as was reported in the Company’s News Release of August 15, 2018). Both COD18-45 and COD18-45 are approximately 160 meters southwest of the area of 2017 trenching at the COD Vein and approximately 220 meters southwest of drill hole COD17-14 which intersected the 4.59 g/t gold over 16.03 meters, including 10.96 g/t gold over 5.97 meters (News Release of September 7, 2017).

The 2018 drilling program focused on testing and defining the COD Vein, a Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein. Trenching during 2017 exposed the northeast – southwest striking COD Vein for over 160 meter strike length. The 2018 drilling program also tested the continuation of the Everest Vein, which is located approximately 600 meters southwest of the COD Vein worksite. The Everest Vein was first discovered by Company prospectors during the 2017. Chip samples collected in 2017 across the approximate 0.4 meter wide vein exposure returned up to 52.8 g/t gold and 377 g/t silver while a grab sample of a quartz vein boulder broken off the outcrop by the excavator returned 81.8 g/t gold and 630 g/t silver (News Release of August 21, 2017).

The analytical results listed below are highlights from drill holes COD18-46 to COD18-48 (intersections greater than 1 g/t gold), testing the continuation of the COD Vein south-southwest of the 2017 trench. Since true widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available the core lengths (meters) are reported. The gold, silver and tellurium analyses are reported in grams per tonne (g/t).

Previous drill core analytical results from the 2018 drilling program are reported in News Releases of May 29, June 14, June 27, July 11, July 19, July 25, August 1, August 9 and August 15. The close-spaced intersections of drill holes COD18-45 and COD-18-46 at the COD Vein is the highlight of the 2018 drilling program to date and represents significant intersections with high grade gold southwest of the 2017 trench. Prior to the receipt of analytical results for these holes, the highlight of the 2018 drilling program was 14.62 g/t gold, 150.2 g/t silver and 102.0 g/t tellurium over 2.1 meter core length in drill hole COD18-3 at the COD Vein, located in the area of the 2017 trench and vicinity of drill hole COD17-14. The following map of the COD Vein work area includes some of the more significant 2017 – 2018 drill intersections.

Drill core from the 2018 program was geologically logged and sampled. Drill core was sawn in half with half core samples submitted for analysis and remaining half core stored in a secure location. Core samples were delivered to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver to be analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – AA. Samples exceeding 100 g/t gold were re-analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – Gravimetric Finish. The samples were also analyzed for 48 Elements by Four Acid ICP-MS. Samples exceeding 100 g/t silver were re-analyzed for silver by Four Acid ICP-AES. One sample from COD18-46 exceeded 1500 g/t silver and was re-analyzed for silver by Fire Assay – Gravimetric Finish. Quality control (QC) samples were inserted at regular intervals.
