VANCOUVER, BC, March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Elevation Gold Mining Corporation (TSXV: ELVT) (OTCQX: EVGDF) (the "Company" or "Elevation Gold") is pleased to provide initial results from its recent reverse circulation ("RC") resource definition and expansion drilling program at Moss Mine and provide an update on its recent greenfields exploration core drilling program. (See Figure 1: Map of Drill Project Locations)
Tim Swendseid, Chief Executive Officer of Elevation Gold stated: "The results we have seen to date from our recent near-mine drilling campaign are exceptional. The bulk of this drilling was conducted in the Reynolds pit area, which returned thicker-than-expected zones of mineralization with higher-than-expected gold grades that are similar to or higher than our last published resource grades of 0.38 oz/t. (Please refer to the Company's website: https://elevationgold.com/site/assets/files/1061/mossfinaldraft-tr-21oct21-conformed.pdf). Permitting is already in place for this area which is located approximately half a kilometer to the west of our active West Pit. In particular I draw your attention to Figure 5, which shows some impressive continuity to the mineralization."
Near-mine RC Drilling Results
The three targets of interest for this near-mine program include the area immediately west of the West pit (Mordor area), the area between the Center pit and the crusher (ROM Pad Ramp), and the Mid-West Extension (Reynolds Pit). (See Figure 2 for displays of the areas in map view). Assay results for twelve holes have been received for the Mordor and Mid-West Extension areas and are being reported in this news release. Assay results for ten holes from the ROM Pad Ramp area and the Mid-West Extension area remain outstanding.
Mordor area
Three holes were drilled from a single drilling platform in a north-south fan immediately west of the West pit (See Figure 3: cross-section through Mordor area showing recent drill results). All three holes intersected gold mineralization, both near-surface and at depth. This drilling is intended to extend the West pit westward as mining progresses down the hillside. For details on drillholes and significant intersections see Table 1, highlights include:
Reynolds Pit
In the early 1990's Reynolds Metals drilled several holes in this area. The holes were drilled vertically and only reached depths of approximately 122 meters. Most of these holes intersected low-grade gold mineralization associated with hanging-wall stockworks veining. Elevation's Mine Plan of Operation that was approved in March 2020 includes a permitted mine pit and stockpile in this area. This discovery could extend Elevation's active mining area more than 500 meters to the west.
Elevation's program consisted of seventeen inclined holes (up to -45 degrees), drilled both to the north and the south, perpendicular to the structures hosting gold mineralization. This drilling has been quite successful with most holes intersecting thick zones of gold mineralization associated with the south dipping Moss vein structure and hanging wall stockworks. A previously untested north dipping vein and stockworks structure approximately 150 meters south of the Moss vein structure was also tested. New drilling results indicate this structure could host vein and stockworks zones up to 80 meters thick (true width) with gold grades as high as 0.92 g/t over 10.67 meters (AR22-656R). (See Figure 4 for a close-up map of the area with the Moss vein structure and the newly tested north dipping vein and stockworks structures labeled). (Figure 5 displays an accompanying cross-section through the Reynolds Pit area with updated drill results). Assay results for eleven of the seventeen holes have been received. See table 1 for drillhole details and significant intersections, highlights include:
ROM Pad Ramp
Two RC holes have been completed in the area between the crusher and the Center pit. These holes are designed to test the shallow area between the areas and were drilled to depth to the deeper extents of the Ruth and Moss veins in this area. Samples have been shipped to an independent laboratory for testing, and assay results are expected in Q2 2023.
