Gold and Silver Updates

[ad_1]

Whitehorse Gold Corp. (TSXV: WHG) (“Whitehorse Gold” or the “Firm”) declares preliminary 2020 diamond drilling program outcomes from its wholly owned Skukum Gold Challenge (the “Challenge”) situated within the Whitehorse Mining District, southern Yukon.

The drill program on the Skukum Creek Deposit consisted of 4 drillholes designed to raised outline the deeper portion of the Rainbow Zone, validate historic drill gap intercepts and to check re-interpreted, probably thicker, and higher-grade parts of the deposit.

Drill gap SC20-001 returned 8.07 m (true width) grading 6.5 g/t Au and 186.9 g/t Ag within the Rainbow Zone (Desk 1). Critically, whereas the valuable metallic grade is just like historic drill holes the true width of the interval was greater than 2.5 instances larger than beforehand modeled. Outcomes from the three different holes are pending.

The Challenge covers an space of 170 km2 and is situated roughly 55 km south of Whitehorse with year-round street entry. The Challenge hosts three deposits with Mineral Useful resource Estimates and Underground Growth (Skukum Creek deposit, Goddell deposit, and the past-producing Mt. Skukum Gold Mine) together with a number of mineralized showings.

Kevin Weston, CEO of Whitehorse Gold said, “This primary gap from the 2020 exploration drilling confirmed the high-grade nature of the Rainbow Zone and extra importantly that thicker zones of mineralization happen at depth. The presence of a number of technology gold-bearing veins is extremely encouraging indicating the presence of a long-lived giant valuable metallic system. We look ahead to receiving and reporting the rest of the drill outcomes.”

2020 Exploration Program – Skukum Creek Deposit

The Firm’s inaugural exploration program was primarily centered on gaining geologic understanding of the quite a few exploration targets, historic knowledge validation and assortment of recent knowledge in assist of a useful resource growth program deliberate for 2021. Intimately the 2020 exploration program consisted of reconnaissance mapping, knowledge compilation and re-interpretation of the Skukum Gold system and a 4-hole, 2,091-metre diamond drilling program on the Skukum Creek deposit (Determine 1 and a couple of).

Skukum Creek is the most important of the three deposits at the moment outlined with over 1 million indicated tonnes grading 5.85 g/t Au and 166.4 g/t Ag and 537,000 inferred tonnes grading 4.99 g/t Au and 108.3 g/t Ag (Desk 2).

Gold-silver +/- base metallic mineralization has been outlined in 4 buildings comprised of quartz sulphide veins and vein breccias hosted in anastomosing NE trending, steeply dipping fault zones. The mineralized vein – fault system has a mixed strike size of roughly 1 km and a at the moment outlined vertical extent of over 500 metres. Mineralization is open for growth alongside strike and each up and down dip.

The anastomosing veins, breccias, related rhyolitic dykes and faults type an built-in bundle which ranges between roughly 0.3 and plus-10 metres in thickness.

A number of generations of overprinted quartz sulphide veins / hydrothermal breccias are current indicating a big, sturdy, long-lived valuable metallic bearing system. Such options are sometimes solely famous in bigger, structurally managed, gold-bearing epithermal methods and consequently the Firm classifies the exploration potential of the system pretty much as good to glorious.

Gap SC20-001 intersected mineralization at roughly 434 metres downhole and returned 8.9 metres (8.07m true width) grading 6.54 g/t Au and 186.8 g/t Ag, together with 1.2 metres of 21.4 g/t Au and 563 g/t Ag (Desk 1 and Figures 2 and three). The mineralized interval was wider than beforehand modeled within the space (8.07m vs beforehand modeled 2.8m true thickness) and higher grade than the close by historic drill gap: R96-206 which ran 4.28 g/t Au and 81.32 g/t Ag over a real width of two.81m (Desk 3 and Figures 2 and three).

As detailed within the Firm’s Technical Report, the three delineated deposits on the Challenge (Skukum Creek, Goddell and Mt. Skukum) individually host the next mineral sources utilizing a 3.0 g/t gold equal (AuEQ) cut-off grade.

Notes:

  1. CIM Definition requirements (2014) had been used for reporting the Mineral Assets.
  2. Mineral useful resource estimate ready by GeoSim Providers Inc. with an efficient date of October 1, 2020.
  3. Mineral Assets are usually not mineral reserves and should not have demonstrated financial viability. An Inferred Mineral Useful resource is that a part of a Mineral Useful resource for which amount and grade or high quality are estimated on the idea of restricted geological proof and sampling. Geological proof is enough to indicate however not confirm geological and grade or high quality continuity. An Inferred Mineral Useful resource has a decrease stage of confidence than that making use of to an Indicated Mineral Useful resource and should not be transformed to a Mineral Reserve. It’s fairly anticipated that almost all of Inferred Mineral Assets may very well be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Assets with continued exploration.
  4. A base case cut-off grade of three.0 g/t Au represents an in-situ metallic worth of US$126 per tonne at a gold worth of $1450/oz, silver worth of $16.50/oz and a metallic restoration of 90% for gold and silver, which is believed to offer an affordable margin over working and sustaining prices for slim vein mining and processing.
  5. See the Firm’s Technical Report entitled “Skukum Gold-Silver Challenge, NI 43-101 Technical Report, Whitehorse Mining District, Yukon Territory, Canada” dated efficient October 1, 2020 and authored by Ronald G. Simpson, P.Geo. from GeoSim Providers, Inc. filed on the Firm’s SEDAR profile (the “Technical Report”).
  6. Mineral sources are diluted to a minimal width of 1.5 metre. The gold equal method used was AuEQ = Au + Ag * 0.0114.
  7. Totals might not sum as a result of rounding.
