Newrange Gold Corp. announced that preliminary surface rock sampling and mapping in the McGill Canyon area of the Pamlico Project has identified widespread gold mineralization and local concentrations of copper, lead and zinc associated with skarn alteration. This skarn hosted mineralization is coincident with a much larger Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly interpreted to be at least 5.5 kilometers long and, in the area sampled, more than 1.5 kilometers wide. Of particular interest is the occurrence of an altered porphyry dike with weak to moderate potassic alteration, evidenced by abundant secondary biotite, grading 2.994 grams gold per metric tonne (g/t Au) and 0.115% copper (% Cu). Of the 42 rock chip samples collected from outcrop in the McGill Canyon area, 16 were identified as skarn altered carbonate sediments, 11 of which contained gold mineralization grading from 0.106 g/t Au to 1.969 g/t Au. The results cover an area roughly 1.5 kilometers long and 750 meters wide that appears to remain open to expansion. The average copper content of all 42 samples was 2,072 ppm or 0.207% Cu within a range of 88 to 19,600 ppm Cu (0.009 to 1.96%), with four samples grading more than 1.0%. One sample of quartz breccia with oxidized sulfides returned 1.7 g/t gold, 147 g/t silver, 2.45% lead and 4.96% zinc. Three other samples returned 1-2% zinc. The McGill Canyon area lies a little more than 5 kilometers to the south-southeast of the Pamlico Ridge target zone. As currently known, the geology of the prospective area in McGill Canyon is dominated by weak to intensely metamorphosed carbonate sediments that are typically overlain by, and possibly interlayered with, silici-clastic to volcano-clastic sediments that commonly have been metamorphosed to hornfels, all of which are in turn overlain by younger volcanic, paleo-fluvial and alluvial formations that appear to postdate mineralization. Sample results and observed alteration in the metamorphosed sediments are indicative of an intrusive, possibly porphyry related gold-copper mineralized skarn system. Other Geochemistry: Geochemically, in order of affinity, zinc, cadmium, lead, lanthanum, barium and silver showed moderate to strong positive correlations with gold. Of interest is the total lack of mercury in these samples, which all reported as less than detection limit. Mercury is a common "pathfinder" element typical of most epithermal systems in the Western US and the world. The higher temperature intrusive related gold systems tend to lack mercury as a constituent element. The area sampled is largely coincident with a large, intense chargeability anomaly identified in the Company's recent IP survey as announced March 23, 2021 and now expanded further. The scale and intensity of the IP anomaly together with observed surface alteration and these geochemical results strongly support the interpretation that mineralization, at least in this portion of the Pamlico project, is intrusive related. The Company has already permitted a number of "scout" drill sites in the McGill Canyon area and will be conducting initial drilling there within the currently budgeted drill program.
