Prosper Gold Corp. reported it has commenced its maiden diamond drilling program at the Skinner North Target. The Skinner Target Area is 4 kilometres northwest of the Golden Corridor and was identified by prospecting and 2021-2022 till sampling results.

The Company completed stripping, channel sampling, and ground magnetics at the Skinner North Target area for which results have been reported. The 2,500-metre proposed diamond drilling program will be testing multiple exploration targets at the Skinner North prospect. Channel sampling results at the Skinner North trench 1 include 9.69 gpt gold over 3.0 metres and 13.13 gpt gold over 1.8 metres, within a 6- to 12-metre-wide quartz-carbonate vein bearing shear zone.

Gold mineralization comprises finely disseminated, fracture filling and locally semi-massive pyrite ± chalcopyrite with associated silica-ankerite alteration. Mineralization persists in quartz-carbonate veins and within sheared mafic volcanic wallrock. The shear zone and majority of the quartz-carbonate veins trend 100° to 110° and dip approximately 70° to the north.

400 metres southwest of the Skinner North trench 1, grab samples up to 6.84 gpt gold are associated with strongly sheared and silica-ankerite altered mafic volcanics with quartz-pyrite ± chalcopyrite veining, similar to the mineralization that persists at the Skinner North trench 1. Shearing and quartz-carbonate veining at this target trend between 80° and 105° and dip 55° to 65° to the north.
