Altamira Gold Continues to Expand the Intrusive-hosted Gold Discovery at Maria Bonita
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2023) - Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (FSE: T6UP) (OTC Pink: EQTRF), ("Altamira" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing exploration program at the Maria Bonita discovery which forms part of the Cajueiro gold project in the states of Mato Grosso and Para, northern Brazil.
温哥华,不列颠哥伦比亚省-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年9月12日)-阿尔塔米拉黄金公司(多伦多证券交易所股票代码:ALTA)(证券交易所代码:T6UP)(场外粉色股票代码:EQTRF),(“阿尔塔米拉“或”公司“)很高兴提供其在Maria Bonita发现的正在进行的勘探计划的最新情况,该发现是巴西北部马托格罗索州和帕拉州Cajueiro金矿项目的一部分。
Highlights:
重点:
- A recently completed deep motorised auger drilling program over the Maria Bonita discovery has extended the footprint of gold mineralization in weathered bedrock to the north, east and west of the mineralized area defined by the initial diamond drilling program
- 最近在玛丽亚·博尼塔发现的深井电动螺旋钻探计划,将风化基岩中的金矿化足迹扩展到最初的钻石钻探计划所界定的矿化区的北部、东部和西部。
- This program follows excellent results from the initial nine diamond drill holes which include 69m @ 1g/t in MBA005, 50m @ 1.1 g/t gold in MBA004, 55m @ 1.0 g/t gold in MBA002, 50m @ 1.0 g/t gold in MBA001 and 45m @ 1.4 g/t gold in MBA003. Disseminated gold mineralization in the initial discovery holes is hosted within rhyolitic intrusive rocks
- 该计划遵循了最初9个钻石钻孔的出色结果,包括MBA005的69m@1g/t、MBA004的50m@1.1g/t黄金、MBA002的55m@1.0g/t黄金、MBA001的50m@1.0g/t黄金和MBA003的45m@1.4g/t黄金。初始发现孔中的浸染型金矿化赋存于流纹岩侵入岩中。
- A total of 47 auger holes, comprising an aggregate 430m were completed. A total of 266 samples (or 62% of the sample population) contained greater than 0.5g/t gold. Thirty-nine auger holes (83% of the total holes drilled) ended in gold mineralization greater than 0.5g/t Au
- 共完成47个螺旋孔,总长430米。共有266个样本(或样本总数的62%)含金量超过0.5g/t。39个钻孔(占钻孔总数的83%)最终金矿化超过0.5g/t Au
CEO Mike Bennett commented; "These very positive results confirm that contiguous gold mineralization is present in the saprolite (weathered bedrock) over a significantly wider area than that established by our initial diamond drilling. These new data suggest that the axis of the stockwork mineralization in the bedrock has an east-southeast orientation, dipping below a later inferred dyke to the east and remaining open to the west. As the gold mineralization at Maria Bonita is present at the surface, with no cover rocks, auger drilling has provided quick and low-cost data on the near surface distribution of gold which can now be used for future resource estimates. These new data support our interpretation of a significant new disseminated gold discovery in intrusive rocks and will assist us in designing a forthcoming second phase diamond drill program."
首席执行官Mike·贝内特评论道;这些非常积极的结果证实,在腐泥岩(风化基岩)中存在毗连的金矿化,其面积比我们最初的钻石钻探确定的区域要大得多。这些新数据表明,基岩中网状矿化的轴线是东南向的,向东倾斜到后来推断的岩脉下方,向西保持开放。由于Maria Bonita的金矿化存在于地表,没有盖岩,螺旋钻探提供了关于金的近地表分布的快速且低成本的数据,现在可用于未来的资源评估。这些新数据支持我们对侵入岩中新发现的重要浸染型金矿的解释,并将帮助我们设计即将到来的第二阶段钻石钻探计划。“
CAJUEIRO PROJECT
卡胡埃罗项目
The Maria Bonita target lies within the Cajueiro project, located approximately 75km north-west of the town of Alta Floresta in the state of Mato Grosso in central western Brazil. Maria Bonita is located 7km north-west of the Cajueiro resource, within Para state. It is easily accessible by both paved highway and local well-maintained unsurfaced roads. Cajueiro forms one of three key projects that Altamira controls in the region, the others being Apiacas and Santa Helena (Figure 1).
Maria Bonita项目位于巴西中西部马托格罗索州Alta Floresta镇西北约75公里处的Cajueiro项目内。玛丽亚·博尼塔位于帕拉州卡胡埃罗资源西北7公里处。无论是铺设好的骇维金属加工还是当地维护良好的未铺设路面的道路都很容易到达。卡胡埃罗是阿尔塔米拉在该地区控制的三个主要项目之一,其他两个是阿皮亚卡斯和圣赫勒拿(图1)。
The Cajueiro project has current NI 43-101 resources of 5.66Mt @ 1.02 g/t gold for a total of 185,000 oz in the Indicated Resource category and 12.66Mt @ 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000 oz in the Inferred Resource category.
Cajueiro项目目前的NI 43-101资源为5.66公吨@1.02克/吨黄金,在指示资源类别中总计为185,000盎司,在推断资源类别中为12.66公吨@1.26克/吨黄金,总计为515,000盎司。

The Maria Bonita discovery is located 7km to the northwest of the central resource area within the Cajueiro Project. This discovery was originally defined by regional soil sampling in an area with no outcrop and no prior hard rock artisanal mining activity. Scout drilling conducted in 2022 in the central part of an open-ended 800m by 800m gold-in-soil anomaly, resulted in the discovery of well-developed three-dimensional gold mineralization within quartz stockwork vein systems hosted in porphyritic rhyolite intrusive rocks.
玛丽亚·博尼塔矿藏位于卡胡埃罗项目中心资源区西北7公里处。这一发现最初是在一个没有露头和以前没有硬岩手工采矿活动的地区进行的区域土壤采样。2022年在一个800m×800m的开放式土壤金异常的中部进行了探查钻探,在斑岩流纹岩侵入岩中赋存的石英网脉系统中发现了发育的三维金矿化。
Nine initial scout diamond drill holes have been completed at Maria Bonita, with the results of this work released previously (see press releases dated September 7, November 16, 2022, and January 18, 2023). Of the seven holes completed in the centre of the soil anomaly, five holes returned thick intervals of consistent gold mineralization (~50m downhole) in saprolite and include 69m @ 1g/t in MBA005, 50m @ 1.1 g/t gold in MBA004, 55m @ 1.0 g/t gold in MBA002, 50m @ 1.0 g/t gold in MBA001 and 45m @ 1.4 g/t gold in MBA003.
玛丽亚·博尼塔已经完成了9个初步的童子军钻石钻孔,这项工作的结果之前已经公布(见2022年9月7日、2022年11月16日和2023年1月18日的新闻稿)。在土壤异常中心完成的7个孔中,有5个孔返回了腐泥岩中一致的金矿化厚层(井下约50m),包括MBA005中69m@1g/t,MBA004中50m@1.1g/t,MBA002中55m@1.0g/t,MBA001中50m@1.0g/t,MBA003中45m@1.4g/t。
As the mineralization extends from surface (where soils contain greater than 1g/t gold in places), part of a future mineral resource estimate will include the saprolite profile. This can be cost-effectively assessed using shallow auger drilling and sampling. The gold grade distribution in the initial diamond drill holes is remarkably consistent throughout both the weathered saprolite and the underlying intrusive bedrock.
随着矿化从地表延伸(土壤中某些地方的金含量超过1g/t),未来矿产资源评估的一部分将包括腐泥岩剖面。这可以使用浅螺旋钻探和取样来进行成本效益评估。在最初的钻石钻孔中,金品位在风化腐泥岩和下伏侵入基岩中的分布都非常一致。
A program of 47 deep auger holes was recently completed.
最近完成了一项47个深螺旋钻孔的计划。
The results from the initial diamond drilling at Maria Bonita which previously defined consistent gold mineralization averaging 1 g/t Au in bedrock in diamond drill holes 1,2,3,4,5 and 7 are shown in table 1. The auger results confirm that consistent gold is found in deep saprolite over an area broadly correlating with the 0.75g/t gold contour defined by the original soil sampling. It is interpreted that this zone represents the near surface manifestation of the rhyolite intrusive-hosted stockwork mineralization found in the primary zone during the scout diamond drilling program.
在Maria Bonita的初始钻石钻探的结果如表1所示,该钻探之前在钻石钻孔1、2、3、4、5和7的基岩中定义了一致的金矿化,平均为1g/t Au。俄歇结果证实,在与原始土壤采样确定的0.75g/t金等值线大致相关的区域内,在深部腐泥岩中发现了一致的金。据解释,该带代表了在侦察钻石钻探过程中在原生带中发现的流纹岩侵入型网络矿化的近地表表现。

表1:童子军钻石钻探计划的主要成果(此前公布)
The distribution of gold in the lowermost sample in each augur drill hole (Figure 2) indicates a coherent pattern, consistent with an east-southeast axis, reflecting one of the two perpendicular vein sets identified in the prior diamond drilling. The mineralization plunges at a shallow angle below cover between diamond drill holes MBA005 and MBA007 and the auger data supports this interpretation. A coherent 200m wide zone of gold values above 0.7g/t Au in saprolite is now defined by the auger results.
每个预兆钻孔最下面样品中的金的分布(图2)显示出一致的模式,与东-东南轴一致,反映了先前钻石钻探中确定的两个垂直脉组之一。矿化在钻石钻孔MBA005和MBA007之间以浅角度俯冲,螺旋数据支持这一解释。现在,俄歇结果确定了腐泥岩中超过0.7g/t Au的一致的200米宽的金值区域。

Importantly, thirty-nine of the total of forty seven auger holes (83%) ended in gold mineralization greater than 0.5g/t Au which indicates the extent of potentially significant gold mineralization in the saprolite
重要的是,在总共47个螺旋孔中,有39个(83%)的金矿化超过0.5g/t Au,这表明腐泥岩中潜在的重大金矿化程度。
A second stage diamond drill program is being designed to test the lateral and vertical extents of the mineralized intrusive body and further augur drilling is aimed at defining the limits to the mineralized system which remains open to the north, south, east, west, and at depth.
正在设计第二阶段的钻石钻探计划,以测试矿化侵入体的横向和垂直范围,进一步的预兆钻探旨在确定向北、南、东、西和深处开放的矿化系统的界限。
