跟进 2023 年的确认性钻探结果,包括 在 1.06 g/t 时为 547m,以及 目标是阿拉斯加惠斯勒金铜项目的持续增长
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ: USGO) ("U.S. GoldMining" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Whistler Gold-Copper Project (the "Project") in Alaska, U.S.A. The Company is currently preparing and mobilizing for the 2024 field season which will focus on confirmatory and step-out drilling within the Whistler and Raintree West deposits.
阿拉斯加安克雷奇,2024 年 5 月 22 日 /PRNewswire/-美国金矿公司(纳斯达克股票代码:USGO)(”美国金矿业“或者”公司“)很高兴提供惠斯勒金铜项目的最新情况(”项目“)在美国阿拉斯加。该公司目前正在为2024年的油田季节做准备和动员,该季节将重点在惠斯勒和雨树西部矿床内进行确认和跨步钻探。
2024 Planned Exploration Program Highlights:
2024 年计划勘探计划亮点:
-
The focus of the planned 2024 exploration program (the "Program") is to confirm our understanding and seek to further delineate and extend areas of high-grade mineralization within the Whistler Deposit, building upon the success of the 2023 confirmatory program which returned the longest drill intercept of consistent mineralization ever recorded at the Project – please refer to the Company's news release dated January 16, 2024 for further details:
-
WH23-03 intersected 547 meters at 1.06 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold equivalent ("AuEq"[1]), comprised of 0.77 g/t gold (Au), 0.17% copper (Cu) and 1.55 g/t silver (Ag), from 53.00 meters depth to end of hole at 600.15 meters.
-
WH23-03 intersected 547 meters at 1.06 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold equivalent ("AuEq"[1]), comprised of 0.77 g/t gold (Au), 0.17% copper (Cu) and 1.55 g/t silver (Ag), from 53.00 meters depth to end of hole at 600.15 meters.
- Step-out drilling at Raintree West will aim to test the deposit beyond its known extents with the goal of expanding existing estimated mineral resources.
- Exploration will also seek to define drill targets within the broader Whistler Orbit, a classic 'porphyry cluster' with potential for additional mineralized intrusive centers to be discovered.
- The Project contains a combined mineral resource estimate of 1.94 million ounces ("Moz") gold and 0.422 billion pounds ("Blbs") copper in the Indicated category and 4.67 Moz gold and 0.711 Blbs copper in the Inferred category (refer to Technical Information Table 1).
- The Project is set to benefit from strengthening commodity prices with both gold and copper prices recently achieving all-time highs of approximately $2,400 per ounce and $5.00 per pound respectively, and silver at a ten-year high of approximately $30/oz.
-
计划中的2024年勘探计划的重点(”程式“)是为了确认我们的理解,并寻求进一步划定和扩大其领域 惠斯勒矿床内的高品位矿化,建立在2023年确认计划的成功基础上,该项目返回了该项目有记录以来最长的持续矿化钻探截获——请参阅该公司2024年1月16日的新闻稿了解更多详情:
-
WH23-03 以每吨 1.06 克(“g/t”)黄金当量(“auEQ”)的速度横穿了 547 米[1]), 由0.77克/吨的金(金)、0.17%的铜(铜)和1.55克/吨的银(银)组成,从53.00米的深度到600.15米的钻孔尽头。
-
WH23-03 以每吨 1.06 克(“g/t”)黄金当量(“auEQ”)的速度横穿了 547 米[1]), 由0.77克/吨的金(金)、0.17%的铜(铜)和1.55克/吨的银(银)组成,从53.00米的深度到600.15米的钻孔尽头。
- 在Raintree West进行阶梯式钻探的目的是在已知范围之外测试该矿床,目标是扩大现有的估计矿产资源。
- 勘探还将寻求在更广阔的惠斯勒轨道内确定钻探目标,惠斯勒轨道是一个经典的 “斑岩星团”,有可能发现更多的矿化侵入中心。
- 该项目包含的综合矿产资源估算值为 194 万盎司(“Moz“) 黄金和 42.2 亿英镑 (“Blbs“) 指示类别中的铜,推断类别中的 4.67 Moz 金和 0.711 Blbs 铜 (参见技术信息 表 1)。
- 该项目将受益于大宗商品价格的走强,黄金和铜价格最近分别创下每盎司约2400美元和每磅5.00美元的历史新高,白银创下约30美元/盎司的十年高点。
Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "We are excited to commence our 2024 exploration program at the Whistler Gold-Copper Project and to build on the success we achieved in 2023. With 2023 drill results from the Whistler Deposit's high-grade core returning over 1.0 g/t gold equivalent, the Whistler Project represents one of the largest undeveloped gold-copper resources in the United States not yet in the hands of a major. The Program is currently fully funded as the Company holds over $10 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024. With a strong in-house technical team and numerous exploration targets for further growth, we are encouraged by the potential of unlocking additional value in 2024 for all stakeholders. The all-time highs in both the gold and copper price create an ideal environment to advance the Project. We look forward to providing updates on progress and results from our 2024 exploration program throughout the upcoming season."
美国黄金矿业首席执行官蒂姆·史密斯评论说: “我们很高兴在惠斯勒金铜项目启动2024年的勘探计划,并在2023年取得的成功基础上再接再厉。惠斯勒矿床高品位岩心2023年的钻探结果返回了超过1.0克/吨的黄金当量,惠斯勒项目是美国最大的未开发金铜资源之一,尚未掌握在巨头手中。 截至2024年3月31日,公司持有超过1000万美元的现金和现金等价物,该计划目前资金充足。凭借强大的内部技术团队和众多进一步增长的勘探目标,我们对2024年为所有利益相关者释放额外价值的潜力感到鼓舞。黄金和铜价的历史新高为推进该项目创造了理想的环境。我们期待在下个季节提供2024年勘探计划的最新进展和结果。”

2024 Drilling Program Details
2024 年钻探计划详情
The Company is readying to mobilize field teams to the Project in the coming weeks and expects to recommence drilling in July 2024 focused on the Whistler and Raintree West deposits (see Figure 1). Exploration activities will be supported from our existing camp facilities adjacent to the Whisky Bravo airstrip. Drilling in 2024 will target expansion and optimization of the existing pit constrained gold-copper mineral resource area. The deposit will also be tested for the potential continuation of deeper high-grade mineralization beneath the existing mineral resource estimate, which could lead to potential expansion including possible identification of zones amenable to bulk underground mining methods (see Figure 2).
该公司准备在未来几周内动员现场团队参与该项目,并预计将于2024年7月重新开始以惠斯勒和雷恩特里西部矿床为重点的钻探(见 图 1)。勘探活动将由我们毗邻Whisky Bravo简易机场的现有营地设施提供支持。2024年的钻探目标是扩大和优化现有的矿坑受限的金铜矿产资源区域。还将测试该矿床是否有可能在现有矿产资源估计值之下继续出现更深的高品位矿化,这可能会导致潜在扩张,包括可能确定适合大规模地下采矿方法的区域(见 图 2)。
Within the broader Whistler – Raintree mineral system, also referred to as the "Whistler Orbit", the Company has interpreted the presence of multiple additional intrusive centers, some of which already contain indications of gold-copper mineralization, but which have not yet had sufficient drilling to estimate mineral resources. This style of intrusive complex is sometimes referred to as a 'porphyry cluster' and suggests the potential to discover additional new porphyry-hosted gold-copper deposits in the district. The geological team is continuing to employ a range of search criteria to identify and rank porphyry targets in order to prioritize for drilling, including surface geological mapping and prospecting, surface geochemical sampling and a lithogeochemical study to detect individual porphyry intrusions which may potentially host gold-copper mineralization.
在更广泛的惠斯勒—雨树矿产系统(也称为 “惠斯勒轨道”)中,该公司解释了存在多个额外的侵入中心,其中一些已经包含金铜矿化的迹象,但尚未进行足够的钻探来估算矿产资源。这种侵入性复合体有时被称为 “斑岩星团”,这表明该地区有可能发现更多新的斑岩承载的金铜矿床。地质小组将继续使用一系列搜索标准来识别斑岩目标并对其进行排名,以便确定钻探的优先顺序,包括地表地质测绘和勘探、地表地球化学采样和岩石地球化学研究,以检测可能存在金铜矿化的单个斑岩入侵物。
The Company is pleased to welcome Mr. Logan Boyce as Senior Project Geologist. Mr. Boyce's 10+ years of experience, including a senior role in the exploration and development of a major gold project in Yukon, Canada, will be invaluable in the successful execution of our exploration programs planned at Whistler.
公司很高兴欢迎洛根·博伊斯先生担任高级项目地质学家。博伊斯先生拥有超过10年的经验,包括在加拿大育空地区一个大型黄金项目的勘探和开发中担任高级职务,对于成功执行我们在惠斯勒计划的勘探计划将是宝贵的。
