New Gold Intervals Discovered at Aljo Mine
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
- ALJ-24-014 unveiled high-grade intervals with assays of 9.94 grams of gold per tonne (g/t Au) over 2.9 m, as well as 10.4 g/t Au over 0.7 m and 6.41 g/t Au over 1.1 m, indicating robust discovery potential.
- ALJ-24-013 returned multiple vein intervals, including 2.48 g/t Au over 1.3 m and 2.55 g/t Au over 1.5 m, confirming the extension of the Main Zone.
- ALJ-24-016, drilled east of the Aljo mine, intersected veinlets with assay results including 1.02 g/t Au over 1.2 m, 1.70 g/t Au over 2.0 m, and 3.19 g/t Au over 0.6 m, further supporting the extension of the Aljo system.
- An ambitious follow-up drill program has commenced at Aljo, focusing on drilling 2,500 m across 11 holes aimed at deepening investigations into the Footwall, Main, and Hangingwall Zones.
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan – GFG Resources Inc. (TSXV: GFG) (OTCQB: GFGSF) has announced remarkable gold assay results from its Phase 1 drill program at the Aljo Mine Target. These results are generating excitement, as the company prepares to initiate an expanded Phase 2 drill program.
Located on GFG’s Goldarm Property, the Aljo Mine is positioned within the esteemed Timmins Gold District of Ontario, Canada.
Brian Skanderbeg, the CEO and President of GFG Resources, expressed enthusiasm regarding the significant strides being made to expand the Aljo system, which now spans 800 m along strike. The exploration team has successfully extended the Main Zone to the southwest, while identifying new vein sets to the northwest and east.
Excitingly, ALJ-24-014 intersected three high-grade vein systems in the Northwest Zone, producing assays of 9.94 g/t Au over 2.9 m, 6.41 g/t Au over 1.1 m, and 10.4 g/t Au over 0.7 m. Simultaneously, ALJ-24-013 provided results that indicated the Main Zone veins extended further southwest by approximately 100 m, showcasing nine distinct intervals.
Skanderbeg remarked, “Building on the momentum from these results, we are launching an aggressive drill program, strategizing 11 new holes (2,500 m) to further explore the depth extensions of the Main, Hangingwall, and Footwall systems, down to 250-400 m.” This is vital since the initial drill operations had only examined depths between 100-250 m. There is optimism that the ongoing efforts will reveal the complete potential of the Aljo system.
Insights on Assay Results:
Anders Carlson, Vice President of Exploration at GFG, indicated that the high-grade structure located west of the Aljo workings highlighted the discovery of a new zone, showcasing strong exploration capabilities.
Drilling has aimed to test the lateral extensions of the gold mineralization discovered beneath the historical underground Aljo Mine workings. Importantly, ALJ-24-013 identified nine gold zones with assays varying between 1-3 g/t Au, including peaks of 2.48 g/t Au over 1.3 m and 2.55 g/t Au over 1.5 m in veined and altered mafic volcanic rocks.
Meanwhile, ALJ-24-014 was drilled 200 m northwest of the Aljo mine site, where previous drilling was limited. The drill results confirmed the presence of high-grade veins, contributing 9.94 g/t Au over 2.9 m, alongside other significant assays, thus underscoring the potential within the Northwest target area.
ALJ-24-015 was positioned west of ALJ-24-014, revealing intersections of 1.36 g/t Au over 2.9 m with notable elements linking back to ALJ-24-014's high-grade zone.
ALJ-24-016, conducted 200 m east of the Aljo site, confirmed assays found in veinlets, further bolstering the extension of the Aljo system.
The ongoing drilling efforts aim to unveil potential mineralization corridors lodged adjacent to other geological structures, including the presence of minerals such as chalcopyrite and sphalerite.
