Evergold Initiates Follow-up Drilling at Its Exciting DEM Precious & Strategic Metals Discovery, Central B.C.
TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evergold Corp. (TSX-V: EVER, WKN: A2PTHZ) ("Evergold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Company's road-accessible DEM prospect, located in central B.C. near Fort St. James, in follow-up to last season's precious (Au, Ag) and strategic metals (Co, Mo, Cu, W, Te, Re) discovery (see news, January 15, 2024, and highlights below). The program will encompass up to 1,000 metres of drilling in multiple holes targeting a prominent north-south geochemical and geophysical trend, part of the much larger 4 km2 geophysically and geochemically anomalous DEM target area, with completion anticipated in October.
2024年9月18日,多倫多(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——Evergold公司(TSX-V:EVER,WKN:A2PTHZ)(以下簡稱「Evergold」或「公司」)很高興地宣佈在企業可供車輛進入的中央BC省的Fort St. James附近的DEm項目開始鑽探,以進一步跟進上個季度的貴金屬(Au,Ag)和戰略金屬(Co,Mo,Cu,W,Te,Re)發現(請參閱2024年1月15日的新聞和下面的亮點)。該計劃將包括多個孔位的1,000米鑽探,目標是一個突出的南北地球化學和地球物理趨勢,是遠大於4平方公里地球物理和地球化學異常的DEm目標區域的一部分,預計將於10月完工。
The drilling will build upon the highly encouraging results of the Company's DEM reconnaissance drilling (947 metres in 3 holes) carried out in fall 2023 on the same trend. As highlighted below, the three holes drilled in 2023 intercepted what is interpreted to be a roughly north-south oriented, structurally-focused, epithermal-style and locally sulphide-rich system, comprised of a broad envelope of anomalous to low-grade mineralization encompassing genuinely high-grade intervals of both precious and strategic elements. With better focused and better framed targets evident from recently completed geophysical surveys, the Company is excited at the prospects for this year's drilling. Helping to generate that excitement is a large underlying sub-circular magnetic feature, akin in plan view to a doughnut, which extends well beyond the limits of the currently targeted core area geochemical-geophysical trend. The broad coverage area and unique character of this underlying magnetic response, together with a first intercept in last year's drilling of a porphyritic dyke mineralized with very high-grade molybdenum plus significant credits of gold, silver and high-value rhenium, suggests the possibility that the epithermal assemblage may be associated with an underlying and/or nearby intrusion.
這次鑽探將基於公司在2023年秋季在同一趨勢上進行的DEm初步鑽探(3個孔位,共947米)的非常令人鼓舞的結果。如下面所強調的,在2023年鑽探的三個孔位中,被解釋爲大致南北方向、結構聚焦的淺成熱液型和局部含硫化物的系統,由一層廣泛包圍的異常至低品位礦化組成,包括真正高品位的貴金屬和戰略元素間隔。隨着最近完成的地球物理勘測揭示了更好的目標和框架,公司對今年的鑽探前景充滿期待。激發這種激情的是一個大型的潛在圓形磁性特徵,俯視圖形狀類似一個甜甜圈,其範圍遠超過目前確定的核心區域地球化學地球物理趨勢的限制。這一底部磁響應的廣泛覆蓋區域和獨特特徵,以及去年鑽探中找到的含有高品位鉬並且有大量金、銀和高價值錸的斑岩脈,暗示着熱液組合可能與底部和/或附近的一條岩漿有關。
"Last year we tested the DEM prospect from two pads located a long way apart," said Kevin Keough, President and CEO. "Intercepts in the holes drilled from those pads have given us an apparent trend to what we believe is essentially a high-grade system, possibly tapped into an underlying intrusion, which appears to trend subparallel to the best of the surface geochemically anomaly and almost certainly daylights within the DEM core area geochemical-geophysical trend. We're especially interested in two high-order CSAMT (low resistivity) anomalies defined since last year – designated Features "A" & "B" - with associated high IP chargeability, located between and immediately to the south of, last year's drill sites. The location of these anomalies suggest that we may have narrowly missed with last season's drilling, which was the first on this generally poorly-exposed property. Therefore, with this year's initial drill plan, available on our website at , we'll initially target the Feature A anomaly from Pad A, drilling west down the high chargeability / low resistivity anomalies to a target depth of 250 metres. With success, more than one hole may be drilled from Pad A. A second drill pad – Pad B – has been sited 100 metres due west of Pad A along the same section 68000N. Additional holes will be sited depending upon visual and XRF analysis of core in the field."
「去年我們從兩個位置遠離的平台對DEm項目進行了測試,」Kevin Keough,總裁兼首席執行官說。「通過從那些平台鑽探的間隔,我們已經發現了一個明顯的趨勢,我們認爲這基本上是一個高品位體系,可能與底部岩漿有關,並且看起來與地表地球化學異常的最佳走向幾乎平行,幾乎肯定會出現在DEm的核心地區地球化學地球物理趨勢中。我們對去年的鑽探的特別關注的是去年勘測確定的兩個高級別CSAMt(低電阻性)異常特徵,分別爲「A」和「B」,與相關的高感應極化性,並位於去年鑽探網點的中間和南部。這些異常的位置表明,我們可能在上一季度的鑽探中只是稍稍錯過了目標,這是該地區第一次進行的勘測。因此,根據我們網站上發佈的今年初的鑽探計劃( ), 我們將首先從A區異常開始對A區進行孔位A的鑽探,從高感應性/低電阻性異常向西向下鑽井至250米的目標深度。如果成功,A區可能會鑽探多個孔位。第二個鑽井座標Pad b( ),位於A座標西側100米,沿着同一截面68000N。根據現場岩心的視覺和XRF分析,將確定其他鑽井座標。」

*Note: Due to 2023 budget constraints, only 62% of the metres drilled in DEM23-01 were assayed, 17% in DEM23-02, and 12% in DEM23-03, with the focus being on only those core intervals that showed the highest density of veining, sulphides, and metal values indicated by X-Ray Fluorescence ("XRF"). The Company intends to sample and assay 100% of the core drilled in 2024.

About the DEM Project
DEM 項目簡介
The 12,728-hectare DEM property is ideally located in moderate terrain only 40 kms northwest of Fort St. James in central B.C.. The project area lies toward the south end of the Nation Lakes porphyry camp and within the Quesnel terrane, the latter of which hosts large deposits and long-life mines including the Mount Milligan mine (50 kms to the northeast of DEM) and Lorraine deposit and, farther south, the Mt. Polley, Afton, Copper Mountain, and Brenda mines, in addition to the Highland Valley mines and deposits.
DEm礦產位於環境溫和的BC中部,面積爲12,728公頃,距離Fort St. James以北40公里的Quesnel巖系地帶,位於Nation Lakes斑岩帶的南端。該項目區域包括沃珀(Mount Milligan)礦山(距離DEM以東北50公里)和洛雷恩(Lorraine)礦牀,更遠的南方,還有波利山(Mt. Polley)、阿夫頓(Afton)、銅山(Copper Mountain)和布倫達(Brenda)礦山與礦牀,此外還有高地山谷礦山。
Located central to the DEM property is the DEM1 prospect, a roughly 4km2 target area defined by alteration and mineralogy suggestive of the presence of a porphyry system, by a multi-element soil geochemical signature, by compelling high-relief magnetic, IP-chargeability and CSAMT resistivity anomalies, and by the presence of nearby regional scale structures. Extensive logging in the area and associated forest service roads provide drive-on access directly to the DEM1 prospect. All of these factors, combined with the results of a reconnaissance drilling program last fall which returned narrow intercepts of high-grade gold, silver and strategic metals (molybdenum, cobalt, tungsten, tellurium, rhenium) within a broad low-grade envelope, underscore the strong exploration merits of the property. Further details on the DEM prospect may be found on the Company's website at and in a NI 43-101 technical report dated August 30, 2023, posted thereon and on the Company's issuer profile at SEDAR+.
位於DEm物業中央的DEm1遠景是一個約4平方公里的目標區域,通過改性和礦物學的變化暗示了一個斑岩系統的存在,通過多元素土壤地球化學特徵、引人注目的高差地磁、IP電荷能性和CSAMt電阻異常,以及附近區域尺度結構的存在。該區域廣泛的記錄和相關的森林服務道路直接提供了對DEm1遠景的駛入通道。所有這些因素,再加上去年秋季的一項勘探鑽探項目的結果,該項目返回了高品位的黃金、銀和戰略金屬(鉬、鈷、鎢、碲、錸)的窄截面,同時伴隨着一個寬鬆的低品位包圍體,突顯了該物業強大的勘探價值。有關DEm遠景的更多詳細信息可在公司網站和SEDA資深律師的12.43-13.期帳單文件中找到。
