Pure Gold Mining Inc. announced that surface exploration drilling has intersected high grade gold mineralization located outside PureGold's existing Mineral Resources1 at three distinct targets-Wedge, Treasure Box, and No. 1 Vein. The continued success of the ongoing surface exploration program is consistent with the Company's objective of fueling PureGold's future organic growth beyond the Phase 1 Mine by discovering new zones and expanding upon known zones of high grade gold across the Company's 47km2 property. An updated mineral resource estimate is in progress and is anticipated to be published in the second quarter. Drilling results highlights: 16.6 g/t gold over 5.0 metres from drill hole PG20-817 at Wedge-ST; including 33.0 g/t gold over 1.0 metre and 19.5 g/t gold over 1.0 metre; 10.5 g/t gold over 3.5 metres from drill hole PG20-797 at Wedge-ST; including 28.9 g/t gold over 1.0 metre; 9.9 g/t gold over 1.1 metres and 13.5 g/t gold over 1.1 metres from drill hole PG20-792 at Treasure Box; 19.2 g/t gold over 1.1 metres from drill hole PG20-803 at Treasure Box; 16.1 g/t gold over 2.0 metres from drill hole PG21-828 at No. 1 Vein. PureGold mill, has been focused on a new target in the Starratt area, Wedge-ST, testing both near-surface and deeper extensions of high grade gold mineralization intersected by earlier PureGold drilling programs. Drilling returned high grade gold intervals, expanding the vertical extents of high grade mineralization at Wedge to over 500 metres and stepping out along strike over 200 metres. These results highlight the deep roots of the Wedge Zone, as well as the strong potential to expand mineralization at Wedge both laterally and at depth. The high grade Wedge Zone, including Wedge-ST, remains a core component of the phased growth plan at the PureGold Mine. Treasure Box is a new drill target for PureGold, located approximately three kilometres north of the PureGold mill, and situated along the same highly prospective and underexplored Russet mafic/ultramafic contact that hosts the Company's 8-Zone and Russet South deposits. Treasure Box was initially discovered by previous operator Placer Dome and remained a top priority for Placer Dome up until their takeover by Barrick and Goldcorp in 2006. New drilling at the Treasure Box target by PureGold has returned high grade gold and successfully tested a new structural model for this quartz vein swarm target. PureGold's initial results from Treasure Box not only reinforce the large extent of the Russet mafic/ultramafic contact on PureGold's 47km2 property but also highlight the potential of both Treasure Box and other existing high grade gold deposits on the property. New drilling at the No. 1 Vein target east of the PureGold Mine has intersected gold mineralization in an extension of past historical underground exploration which was left behind upon discovery of the Austin ores in 1937. Visible disseminated gold is hosted within quartz veins associated with a porphyritic host rock and the system remains open at depth. Data from the 2D seismic survey completed in 2020 helped to highlight the potential of this target hosted in a similar setting to other recent discoveries in the district.
