Omai Gold Mines Corp. reported that exploration has commenced on the East Wenot Extension and on the Broccoli Hill target, at the Omai property in Guyana. The current drilling program that focused on the Wenot deposit beneath the past producing pit, was completed yesterday. The program consisted of 16 holes totaling 9,367 metres, with final assay results pending. P&E Mining Consultants are engaged as the independent Qualified Person and have commenced the Wenot resource study. This allows the technical team to initiate a broader exploration program on the Omai property to include drilling the extension of the Wenot deposit to the east, plus the Broccoli Hill target, both located near the past-producing pits. East Wenot Extension: The Wenot Shear Corridor is part of a wide east-west trending gold-mineralized geological structure with 3 kilometres of drill-indicated strike length across the property. The Wenot pit, covering roughly 1.7 km of the strike length of this structure, produced 1.4 million ounces of gold1 to a depth of 190 metres. Like the classic regional shear structures that host many of central Canada?s significant gold mines, several episodes of crustal deformation were focused along this shear structure creating permeable fracturing to significant depths, that allowed hydrothermal fluids to invade and deposit gold within the open fractures and breaks. Drilling is scheduled to start in mid-November, to explore the eastern extension of the Wenot shear. Work will commence from the eastern end of the pit (~306000E) and continue along an initial 800 metres, following the trend of the shear. This area has seen no commercial mining, however abundant pitting in the surficial alluvial material attests to gold that has attracted small scale miners. Significant gold mineralization has been identified in this area by several shallow holes drilled along this trend from 1993-95 but testing to depths of only 50 to 75 metres into fresh rock. Gold was intersected on ten 50-metre spaced section lines, with the best intersections (west to east) including 21m @ 1.3 g/t Au (306130E), 27 m @ 3.6 g/t Au (in saprolite), 9 m @ 2.6 g/t Au (306380E) and 15m @ 1.9 g/t Au(306530E). Since the holes were short, they did not fully test the width of the shear corridor in this area, nor the depth extent of the gold mineralization. The drilling, scheduled to commence in mid-November, will focused on expanding the known mineralization and evaluating the potential for a near-surface economic deposit in this area. Broccoli Hill: Broccoli Hill (?BH?) is a conspicuous hill that sits less than 300 metres east of the Fennell pit and 300 metres north of the Wenot pit. Combined, these two pits produced over 3.7 million ounces of gold1. BH has been an attraction for artisanal miners for over 100 years and has seen minor surficial exploration for several decades. Previous auger and soil surveys have identified numerous gold anomalies on BH, including one auger hole that sampled 12.4 g/t Au from a 4 to 6 meters depth in saprolite adjacent to a large area of pork knocker (artisanal miner) activity. The abundance of past placer gold workings in the lowlands flanking the hill, together with the numerous scattered artisanal workings on the hill itself suggests a gold source somewhere on BH. It is a very compelling target, interestingly, with little to no drilling. Airborne geophysics completed in 2020 shows a magnetic-low signature over BH, a characteristic of the adjacent Fennell deposit. At Fennell, gold occurs within a series of relatively flat lying structures within a quartz diorite plug known as the ?Omai Stock?, with a diameter at surface of roughly 400 metres. At Zijin?s Aurora Mine, located approximately 200 km northwest of Omai, their Rory?s Knoll gold deposit which is often compared to the Omai stock, has a footprint only 200-metres in diameter. Broccoli Hill, covering an area of about 500 m by 700 m, with the underlying bedrock still of unknown affinities, certainly has the potential to host such a deposit. ?Standards, blanks and duplicates are entered at regular intervals. Samples are sealed in plastic bags and shipped to the ActLabs certified laboratory in Georgetown, Guyana, respecting the best chain of custody practices. At the laboratory, samples are dried, crushed up to 80% passing 2 mm, riffle split (250 g), and pulverized to 95% passing 105 ?m, including cleaner sand. 30 g of pulverized material are then fire assayed by atomic absorption (AA). Initial assays with results above 3,000 ppb gold are re-assayed with gravimetric finish. Standards and blanks meet with QA/QC specifications.
