Contact Gold Corp. announced the second batch of drill results from the 2023 exploration program at the Green Springs gold project located on the prolific Cortez Trend in northeastern Nevada. The 2023 program was carried out as part of a USD 10 million earn-in at Green Springs by Centerra Gold Inc. Contact Gold is the project operator at Green Springs.

A total of 4,028 metres of RC drilling in 29 drill holes were completed in this year's program. X-Ray Zone highlights in this release: 1.90 g/t Au over 25.91 metres, from a depth of 89.92 metres, in drill hole GS23-10 - oxide. Including: 2.50 g/t Au over 18.29 metres - oxide; 1.67 g/t Au over 10.67 metres, from a depth of 85.34 metres, in drill hole GS 23-12 - oxide; Including: 2.03 g/t Au over 7.62 metres - oxide.

These drill holes are the first holes drilled from the new pattern of drill roads and drill pads located to the south and west of the X-Ray discovery zone. Drill holes GS23-10, GS23-11 and GS23-12 were angled to the northeast to further confirm and extend mineralization from the 2021 discovery holes at X-Ray, (X-Ray discovery release). The X-Ray target remains wide open for expansion, especially to the east, south and west.

The program wrapped up at the Tango Zone, which was also discovered by Contact Gold during the 2021 drill program, (Tango discovery release) focusing on step-out holes to the north and west of the discovery zone.
