Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. announced that it is about to start exploration work at its Golden Crown property in the Greenwood mining district of southeastern British Columbia. Golden Dawn is about to kick-off its 2020 exploration program with trenching on its Golden Crown property. Approximately 2,000 metres of exploration trenching is planned for the Golden Crown and JD areas this season. This work is aimed at extending the Golden Crown deposit and discovery of new gold zones to add to the existing Golden Crown deposit. The Golden Crown resource is estimated at 163,000 tonnes Indicated Resources grading 11.09 grams per tonne gold and 0.56% copper and Inferred Resources of 42,000 tonnes grading 9.04 grams per tonne gold and 0.63% copper. The heart of the Golden Crown deposit is a vein system consisting of 17 discrete massive sulfide and quartz-sulfide veins within an area 130 by 800 m. The JD area lies northwest of the known Golden Crown deposit along a 3.5 km long corridor of steeply dipping veins defined by historic drill hole intercepts, trenches, gold soil geochemical anomalies and geophysical ("VLF") anomalies. These features indicate excellent potential for discovery of new gold bearing zones in the underexplored gap between the JD and Golden Crown. The 2020 trenching program will test the historic JD mine area and along the corridor of anomalies, where sulphide-quartz veins of similar composition and orientation to those at the Golden Crown deposit were previously identified. Rock chip sampling at the JD area by Golden Dawn in 2017 returned values ranging up to 5.87 g/t gold over 4.0 metres.
