Newcore Gold Announces Start of Drill Program at the Enchi Gold Project, Ghana

08.09.2022 | 12:32 Uhr | GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Sept. 08, 2022 - Newcore Gold Ltd. ("Newcore" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NCAU, OTCQX: NCAUF) is pleased to announce the start of a 5,000 metre discovery and resource expansion drill program at the Company's 100% owned Enchi Gold Project ("Enchi" or the "Project") in Ghana.

Approximately 5,000 metres of drilling is planned and will include both diamond and Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling. Diamond drilling will focus on continuing to define the higher-grade sulphide mineralization at depth with a goal of delineating the potential for high-grade underground resources at Enchi. RC drilling will target near-surface oxide and shallow sulphide mineralization with a goal of outlining additional resource growth along strike and depth at all deposit areas. RC drilling will also be planned to follow-up on discoveries made as part of the recently completed 90,000 metre drill program. Additional exploration work is also on-going, including metallurgical testwork and trenching of high-priority surface anomalies.

Highlights

  • Newcore is fully funded to complete the drill program at Enchi post closing of a $5 million brokered equity financing on July 12, 2022.
  • High-grade potential at depth. Limited deeper drilling has now defined high-grade sulphide mineralization to a vertical depth of 300 metres. Follow-up drilling is planned to continue to define the potential for additional high-grade underground mineralization.
  • Resource expansion potential. Drilling will focus on further resource expansion at all existing deposits, all of which remain open along strike and at depth. Additional resource growth is anticipated from follow-up drilling on earlier stage targets across the property.
  • District scale potential. Enchi is located along a prolific gold belt in Ghana which hosts several large scale multi-million-ounce gold mines. At Enchi, 25 targets have been identified across the 216 km2 property, of which only 9 have been drill tested to date.

Luke Alexander, President and CEO of Newcore stated, "We are excited to continue to define the multi-million-ounce potential of our Enchi Gold Project through the drill bit. This next phase of drilling will continue to focus on a multi-pronged exploration approach, with drilling targeting resource expansion at existing deposits, continuing to identify the higher-grade potential at depth, while also defining the broader potential for Enchi to host a long-life gold camp through drilling of earlier stage targets. We look forward to continuing to unlock the large-scale potential at Enchi."

This next phase drill program will follow-up on the accomplishments achieved with the recently completed 90,000 metre drill program that was successful in highlighting the district scale potential across the 216 km2 property and the strong potential to delineate additional resources at Enchi.

The 2020 - 2022 drill program delivered on its goals:

(i) Successfully outlined the potential resource growth along strike at all four deposits (Sewum, Boin, Nyam, Kwakyekrom);
(ii) Encountered strong results at previously drilled zones outside of the resource area (Kojina Hill, Eradi);
(iii) Intersected high-grade gold at depth, outlining the potential to delineate underground resources; and
(iv) Identified new discoveries from successful first pass drilling on early-stage targets (Sewum South, Tokosea, Sewum Ext. Parallel Structure).

Results from the 90,000 metre drill program will be incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

About Newcore Gold Ltd.

Newcore Gold is advancing its Enchi Gold Project located in Ghana, Africa's largest gold producer (1). The Project currently hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.41 million ounces of gold at 0.62 g/t (2). Newcore Gold offers investors a unique combination of top-tier leadership, who are aligned with shareholders through their 24% equity ownership, and prime district scale exploration opportunities. Enchi's 216 km2 land package covers 40 kilometres of Ghana's prolific Bibiani Shear Zone, a gold belt which hosts several 5 million-ounce gold deposits, including the Chirano mine 50 kilometers to the north. Newcore's vision is to build a responsive, creative and powerful gold enterprise that maximizes returns for shareholders.

(2) Notes for Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate:

1. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate.
2. The 2021 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids and constrained by pits shell for Sewum, Boin and Nyam. Kwakyekrom used Inverse Distance squared (ID2).
3. A base cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t Au was used with a capping of gold grades varied by deposit and zone.
4. A US$1,650/ounce gold price, open pit with heap leach operation was used to determine the cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t Au. Mining costs of US$1.40 for oxides, US$2.10 for transition, and US$2.60 for fresh rock per mined tonne and G&A and milling costs of US$6.83/milled tonne. The Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate is pit constrained.
5. Metallurgical recoveries have been applied to four individual deposits and in each case three material types (oxide, transition, and fresh rock) with average recoveries of 77% for Sewum, 79% for Boin, 60% for Nyam and 72% for Kwakyekrom.
6. A density of 2.20 g/cm3 for oxide, 2.45 g/cm3 for transition, and 2.70 g/cm3 for fresh rock was applied.
7. Optimization pit slope angles varied based on the rock types.
8. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability. Numbers may not add due to rounding.
9. These numbers are from the technical report titled "Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Enchi Gold Project, Enchi, Ghana", with an effective date of June 8, 2021, prepared for Newcore Gold by BBA E&C Inc. in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and is available under Newcore's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
