Golden Tag Resources Ltd. announced complete results from diamond drillholes 22-65A and 65B, part of an exploration program targeting bulk-tonnage mineralization on the Company's 100% owned San Diego Project, located in Durango Mexico. Key highlights from holes 22-65A & 65B include: High-grade intersections located close to surface, including 1,551 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.60 metres (“m”), and 1,194 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.65 m in the Rata Zone; 174 g/t Ag.Eq over 16.48 m, including 690 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.50 m, within the Canta Zone; 363 g/t Ag.Eq over 4.27 m within the CSplay Zone; 93 g/t Ag.Eq over 395 m, including a higher-grade interval of 109 g/t Ag.Eq over 186 m, of Fernandez Zone mineralization beyond the western limit of the previously established resource envelope, approximately 70 m NW of historical hole 12-47. Holes 22-65A and 65B were drilled from the same setup to test the western extension of the Fernandez Zone.

Hole 22-65A was abandoned at 252 m due to excessive deviation and hole 22-65B was successfully completed to target. Holes 22-65A and 65B cut across the several quartz-sulphide veins from the east-west trending Rata Zone at the top of both holes intersecting 1,551 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.60 m (94.55 to 95.15 m) and 1,194 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.65 m (102.55 to 103.20 m) in hole 22-65A and 312 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.20 m (154.35 to 155.55 m) in hole 22-65B. Both holes then progressed into the east-west trending quartz-sulphide veins of the Canta Zone where hole 22-65B intersected 690 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.50 m (242.70 to 245.20 m) within a broader interval of 174 g/t Ag.Eq over 16.48 m (236.80 to 253.28 m).

Hole 22-65B continued into quartz-sulphide veins of the northeast trending CSplay Zone returning 363 g/t Ag.Eq over 4.27 m (350.20 to 354.47 m) and progressed through the Montanez Zone and Midzone. Hole 22-65B intersected bulk tonnage Fernandez Zone mineralization at approximately 630 m vertical depth from surface returning 93 g/t Ag.Eq over 395.10 m (632.60 to 1027.70 m), including a higher-grade interval of 109 g/t Ag.Eq over 185.90 m (840.60 to 1026.50 m). The mineralization was observed to be consistent throughout the interval, with a maximum dilution interval of 4.5 m. The Fernandez Zone interval includes several subintervals of higher-grade copper mineralization, most notably 0.41% Cu over 12.10 m (982.40 to 994.50 m), that are spatially associated with a feldspar porphyry monzodiorite, which is a distinct unit within the central diorite in this area.

The Fernandez Zone intercept within hole 22-65B lies beyond the western limit of the resource envelope, established in the 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate prepared by SGS Canada effective April 2013. In the resource estimate, the Fernandez Zone resource envelope had been extended out approximately an average of 70 m to the west of the westernmost historical hole 12-47, into an area with no drill data. The results from holes 22-65B and 21-58 (102 g/t Ag.Eq over 191.57 m;) confirm that this projected extension was accurate, and will also potentially extend the Fernandez Zone resource envelope a further minimum 70 m to the northwest, depending on the resource estimation assumptions employed.

The potential extension of the Fernandez Zone, based on the results from holes 22-65B and 21-58, would measure approximately 140 m x 70 m in the horizontal plane and 530 m in the vertical plane (1174 mASL to 644 mASL elevation or 476 m to 1006 m vertical depth from surface:1650 mASL elevation). No drill holes exist to the west of hole 22-65B and thus the Fernandez Zone remains open to the west. Furthermore, the Fernandez Zone in hole 22-65B lies an average of 100 m to the south of the 1849 Zone, described in a Company news release dated September 8, 2021, where hole 07-18 returned 83 g/t Ag.Eq over 101.11 m (813.99 to 915.10 m), hole 12-49 returned 169 g/t Ag.Eq over 42.03 m (440.88 to 482.91 m), and hole 21-57 returned 84 g/t Ag.Eq over 134.37 m (521.88 to 656.25 m).

As was previously reported, it was observed during the relogging of historic hole 07-18 that mineralization within the 1849 Zone is like that found in the Fernandez Zone, being comprised of quartz-sulfide vein, stringer and stockwork zones within green and brown exoskarn and red garnet endoskarn. It is possible that the two zones merge, which would extend the Fernandez Zone a further 100 m to the north of hole 22-65B. The Fernandez Zone is steeply plunging cigar-shaped structure characterized by green and brown garnet exoskarn and red garnet endoskarn sulphide mineralization (pyrite-pyrrhotite-sphalerite-galena) contained within quartz-sulphide stockwork veins, breccias, and massive sulphide zones which are spatially associated with the contacts of diorite intrusive bodies.

The Fernandez Zone was divided into 2 subunits in the 2013 SGS Canada resource estimate - Endoskarn and Fringe - which respectively correspond to a higher-grade core unit with stockwork mineralization within and proximal to the southern contact of the Central Diorite intrusive, surrounded by an outer section of lower-grade skarn mineralization hosted for the most part in altered limestones.
