VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX:LGD; OTCQX:LGDTF) ("Liberty Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from the 2023 core drill program at the Back Range Zone at its Black Pine Oxide Gold Project ("Black Pine") in southeastern Idaho. Results released herein are from the first three drill holes of the 11 hole, property-wide core program.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華,2024年1月18日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——自由黃金公司(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:LGD;OTCQX: LGDTF)(“Liberty Gold” 或 “公司”)欣然報告其位於愛達荷州東南部黑松氧化金項目(“黑松”)的後山脈區域2023年岩心鑽探項目的化驗結果。此處公佈的結果來自全物業11孔核心項目的前三個鑽孔。
BACK RANGE ZONE HIGHLIGHTS:
後距離區域亮點:
Drill results from the three core drill holes that were completed in the Back Range Zone have been received with results confirming the strong grades and near-surface mineralization. These core holes were drilled for a Phase 5 metallurgical program projected to begin in 2024 and to gain insights into the complex structural controls in this area.
已經收到了在 Back Range Zone 完成的三個岩心鑽孔的鑽探結果,結果證實了強勁的品位和近地表礦化。這些岩心孔是爲預計於2024年開始的第五階段冶金項目鑽探的,目的是深入了解該地區的複雜結構控制。
Drill holes LBP956C and LBP968C were the second and third best holes drilled to date at the Back Range Zone on a grams per tonne x meter ("g/t x m") basis and intersected strong grades of oxide gold mineralization, with the cyanide soluble assays showing an average of 74% and 87% recovery respectively. These drill results come from a highly deformed, strongly decalcified package of structurally thickened middle plate siltstones. Drill hole LBP969C was drilled for metallurgical testing purposes and hit as-expected results.
LBP956C 和 LBP968C 鑽孔是迄今爲止在 Back Range Zone 鑽探的第二和第三好的鑽孔,按克/噸 x 米(“g/t x m”)計算,它們與強氧化金礦化等級相交,氰化物可溶性分析顯示平均回收率分別爲 74% 和 87%。這些鑽探結果來自一包高度變形、高度脫鈣的結構加厚的中板粉砂岩。鑽孔 LBP969C 是爲了進行冶金測試而鑽出的,結果符合預期。
Cal Everett, CEO and Director of Liberty Gold commented, "The high grade, oxide gold intercepts from the recent core holes in the Back Range Zone are an important beginning for Liberty Gold this year. The resource grade of Back Range is approximately 20% higher than the average grade of the rest of the Black Pine resource areas discovered to date.
Liberty Gold首席執行官兼董事卡爾·埃弗雷特評論說, “從最近背山脈區域的岩心洞中截獲的高品位氧化金是Liberty Gold今年重要的開端。Back Range的資源等級比迄今爲止發現的其餘黑松資源區域的平均等級高出約20%。
Liberty Gold anticipates approval of the fourth Plan of Operations by mid year that will allow us to drill test the 800 meter long gap between Back Range and the main Discovery area. An updated resource estimate is being completed, which will be the basis for the Pre-feasibility Study due in H2 2024. While these new results will not be included in the new resource estimate, they will be included in future resource updates. Additional core holes in the Discovery area, Tallman and M Zones are pending final analysis."
Liberty Gold預計,第四個運營計劃將在年中獲得批准,這將使我們能夠鑽探Back Range和主要探索區域之間800米長的間隙。更新的資源估算正在完成中,這將成爲定於2024年下半年進行的預可行性研究的基礎。雖然這些新結果將不包括在新的資源估算中,但它們將包含在未來的資源更新中。探索區、塔爾曼和M區的其他核心洞尚待最終分析。“

* Results are reported as drilled thicknesses, with true thicknesses approximately 50% to 90% of drilled thickness.

Based on these results and reverse circulation drilling in 2023, additional drilling is warranted in Back Range in 2024. New insights on structural controls at Back Range show strong targets to the west, southeast and northeast where the middle plate rocks are largely untested.
基於這些結果以及2023年的反循環鑽探,有望在2024年在Back Range進行更多鑽探。關於Back Range結構控制的新見解表明,西部、東南部和東北部有很強的目標,那裏的中板岩基本上沒有經過測試。
Also, the permit amendment Plan of Operations ("PoO") #4, is expected to be received in H1 2024. This permit will increase our drillable target area by 36% to cover a 40 square kilometer area, adding another 7 large target areas and will allow access to the high priority target area located in between the Back Range Zone and the Main Discovery area. This target encompasses an area of approximately 1.5 square kilometers that has only seen sparse, shallow historic drilling.
此外,許可證修正案運營計劃(“PoO”)#4 預計將於2024年上半年收到。該許可證將使我們的可鑽探目標區域增加36%,覆蓋40平方千米的區域,再增加7個大型目標區域,並將允許進入位於後程區域和主探索區之間的高優先目標區域。該目標包括大約 1.5 平方千米的區域,該區域僅進行了稀疏的淺層歷史鑽探。

QUALITY ASSURANCE – QUALITY CONTROL
質量保證 — 質量控制
Drill composites were calculated using a cut-off of 0.15 g/t Au. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals vary between 30% and 100% of the reported lengths due to varying drill hole orientations but are typically in the range of 50% to 90% of true width. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Limited in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t Au were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were utilized in calculating gold intersections. For any samples assaying over 0.10 parts per million an additional cyanide leach analysis is done where the sample is treated with a 0.25% NaCN solution and rolled for an hour. An aliquot of the final leach solution is then centrifuged and analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. QA/QC for all drill samples consists of the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch. All holes are also analyzed for a 51 multi-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS. ALS Geochemistry-Reno is ISO 17025:2005 Accredited, with the Elko and Twin Falls prep lab listed on the scope of accreditation.
鑽孔複合材料是使用0.15 g/t Au的臨界值計算得出的。鑽孔交叉口報告爲鑽孔厚度。由於鑽孔方向的不同,礦化間隔的真實寬度在報告長度的30%至100%之間,但通常在真實寬度的50%至90%之間。內華達州里諾的ALS Limited對鑽探樣本進行了金檢驗,對30克(1化驗噸)的電荷進行了金檢驗,如果金含量超過5.0 g/t,則以重量法完成。對於這些樣品,使用重量數據來計算金交叉點。對於任何測定值超過百萬分之0.10的樣品,將進行額外的氰化物浸出分析,其中樣品使用0.25%的NaCn溶液處理並軋製一小時。然後,將最終浸出溶液的等分離離心並通過原子吸收光譜法進行分析。所有鑽孔樣品的質量保證/質量控制包括在樣品流中插入和持續監測大量標準和空白,以及在每批中隨機收集重複的樣品。ICP-MS 還對所有孔洞進行了分析,以找出 51 種多元素地球化學套件。ALS Geochemistry-Reno 已獲得 ISO 17025:2005 認證,Elko 和 Twin Falls 預備實驗室已列入認證範圍。

Cautionary Note for United States Investors
美國投資者的警示說明
The information in this news release, including any information incorporated by reference, and disclosure documents of Liberty Gold that are filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities concerning mineral properties have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.
本新聞稿中的信息,包括以引用方式納入的任何信息,以及向加拿大證券監管機構提交的有關礦產的Liberty Gold披露文件,均根據加拿大現行證券法的要求編制,這些要求不同於美國證券法的要求。
Without limiting the foregoing, these documents use the terms "measured resources", "indicated resources", "inferred resources" and "probable mineral reserves". Shareholders in the United States are advised that, while such terms are defined in and required by Canadian securities laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher resource category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility, pre-feasibility or other technical reports or studies, except in rare cases. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of contained ounces is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report resources as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in these documents may not be comparable to information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
在不限制上述規定的前提下,這些文件使用了 “實測資源”、“指示資源”、“推斷資源” 和 “可能的礦產儲量” 等術語。美國股東請注意,儘管加拿大證券法對此類術語進行了定義和要求,但美國證券交易委員會(“SEC”)不承認它們。根據美國的標準,除非在確定儲量時已確定礦化可以經濟合法地生產或開採,否則不得將礦化歸類爲儲量。提醒美國投資者,不要假設計量或指示資源的全部或任何部分會被轉換爲儲備。此外,推斷出的資源的存在以及是否可以合法或經濟地開採這些資源存在很大的不確定性。不能假設推斷資源的全部或任何部分都會升級到更高的資源類別。根據加拿大的規定,除非在極少數情況下,對推斷礦產資源的估計不得構成可行性、預可行性或其他技術報告或研究的基礎。因此,還提醒美國投資者不要假設推斷資源的全部或任何部分都存在,也不要假設這些資源可以合法或經濟地開採。根據加拿大法規,允許披露所含盎司的情況;但是,美國證券交易委員會通常只允許發行人報告資源的實際噸位和等級,而不考慮單位衡量標準。因此,這些文件中包含的有關礦化和資源描述的信息可能無法與受美國證券交易委員會報告和披露要求的美國公司公開的信息相提並論。
