- Results received for 2018 drill holes COD18-37 to COD18-42 which tested the COD Vein.
- COD18-37 Intersected 8.23 g/t Gold and 67.3 g/t Silver over 3.9 Meters at COD Vein
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company†or “GGXâ€) 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 COD18-37 to COD18-42 which tested the COD Vein. The COD gold bearing vein is located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone.

A highlight from these analytical results is an intersection of 8.23 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 67.36 g/t silver and 38.53 g/t tellurium over 3.95 meter core length in drill hole COD18-37. This gold-bearing interval (quartz veins and altered granodiorite) in COD18-37 is located at approximately 40 meter vertical depth and approximately 130 meters southwest of the area of 2017 trenching. COD18-37 is located approximately 190 meters southwest of 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 to date has been mainly 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 has 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).
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 and August 1. The highlight of the 2018 drilling program to date is 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.
The analytical results listed below are highlights from drill holes COD18-37 to COD18-42 (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). The intervals listed in the following table are from the gold, silver and tellurium bearing quartz veins and adjacent altered granodiorite in drill hole COD18-37 and a quartz vein in drill hole COD18-42.

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. The samples were also analyzed for 48 Elements by Four Acid ICP-MS. Samples exceeding 100 g/t silver were re-analyzed by Four Acid ICP-AES. Quality control (QC) samples were inserted at regular intervals.
