Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2024) - Compass Gold Corp. (TSXV: CVB) (Compass or the Company) provides an update on the recent follow-up trench sampling program at the Massala prospect, located on the Company's Sikasso Property in southern Mali (Figure 1).

加拿大安大略省多倫多-(Newsfile Corp. - 2024年8月19日)-Compass Gold Corp. (tsxv: CVB) (以下簡稱Compass或公司)就該公司南馬裏(圖1)Sikasso Property上Massala prospect的跟進掘溝採樣計劃提供更新。

Highlights

亮點

  • Assay results are reported from five trenches, each 5-m deep and totalling 305 m in length at Massala
  • Best intervals:
    • Widest intercept: 21 m @ 3.51 g/t Au (2 m depth; MATR004)
    • Highest-grade interval: 1 m @ 40.29.60 g/t Au (2 m depth; MATR004)
  • All results to date indicate a near surface strike length of 150 metres, with the structure open to the south
  • New Malian Mining Code provides for a streamlined process for obtaining a Small Mine Permit, with a four-year term allowing total production of 160,000 ounces of gold based on annual mining of up to 200,000 tonnes of ore per year
  • Compass has commenced the process required for permit renewals and applications to allow for mining at Massala
  • 詳見Massala,每個挖5米深,總長度30500萬的5個掘溝(Assay result報告)。
  • 最佳間隔:
    • 最寬攔截:2100萬 @ 3.51 g/t Au (200萬深度; MATR004)
    • 最高等級間隔:100萬 @ 40.29.60 g/t Au (200萬深度; MATR004)
  • 迄今爲止的所有結果表明,結構朝南,近地表擊長約150米。
  • 新的馬裏採礦法典提供了獲得小型礦山許可的簡化流程,有效期四年,允許在年採礦量爲每年最多200,000噸的情況下總產量爲160,000盎司的黃金。
  • Compass已開始執行允許在Massala採礦所需的許可證續期和申請程序。

Compass CEO, Larry Phillips, said, "These highly encouraging results from the trenches excavated along the Massala zone provide us with the technical data we need to apply for a Small Mine Permit under the new Mining Code in Mali. We believe that the grades and tonnage we are seeing at Massala, combined with the production parameters and fiscal terms defined under the new mining code, will allow for an economic plan to reach near term production at this time of a historically high gold price. Over the next three months, our team in Mali will proceed with the required permit renewals, and submit the application for a Small Mining Permit at Massala, which would allow for the production of up to 160,000 ounces of gold over a four-year period.

Compass首席執行官Larry Phillips表示:「來自沿Massala區帶掘溝的這些極具鼓舞的結果爲我們提供了申請在馬裏的新礦業法規下獲得小型礦山許可所需的技術數據。我們認爲,Massala所看到的品位和礦量,再加上新的採礦法規下定義的生產參數和財務條款,將允許在歷史性高黃金價格時期達到朝向近期黑色產的經濟計劃。在未來的三個月內,我們的馬裏團隊將繼續進行所需的許可證續期,並提交在Massala的小採礦許可證申請,該申請將在四年內允許生產最高達160,000盎司的黃金。」

Our preliminary models indicate that a 50ton-per-hour processing plant would be sufficient to process the allowable 200,000 tonnes of ore allowed under the provisions of the new Mining Code, which was confirmed by a decree issued in July of this year."

我們的初步模型表明,每小時50噸的處理廠已足夠處理新的採礦法規下規定的20萬噸礦石。該法規在今年7月發佈的一項法令中得到了確認。

Dr. Madani Diallo, Director and Country Manager, added, "We now have 792 assay results along this 150-metre strike length of the Massala target zone, all within 5 metres of the surface. The results show strong grades, which clearly exceed the 1-gram-per-tonne level that we consider to be profitable for a small mine. As we proceed with the Small Mining Permit process, additional sampling and assaying may be used to add to our estimation of total tonnage. We also expect that the nuggety nature of the contained gold could result in higher grades occurring when entire sections of ore are processed."

董事Madani Diallo補充道:「我們現在已經在Massala靶區150米擊長的長度上擁有792個掘溝樣品化驗結果,所有這些結果都集中在地表以下5米處。結果表明的品位強勁,並且明顯超過我們認爲適合小型礦山的每噸1克的盈利水平。隨着我們繼續進行小型礦山許可證過程,可能會使用其他採樣和化驗方法來增加我們對總噸數的估計。我們還預計,所含金的異質性可能導致在加工整個礦石區段時出現更高的品位。」

Next Steps

下一步

The Company has commenced the process of applying for permit renewals for the complete Sikasso Project area (1,173 sq. km), which includes an application for a Small Mining Permit over the Massala and Tarabala prospects (5 sq. km). The new Malian Mining Code provides a streamlined process for such a permit. This permit has a four-year term, which allows a total production of 160,000 ounces of gold with a limit of 200,000 tonnes of ore per year.

該公司已開始申請完整Sikasso項目區域(1,173平方公里)的許可證續期,其中包括在Massala和Tarabala前景(5平方公里)上申請小型採礦許可證。新的馬裏採礦法典提供了此類許可證的簡化過程。該許可證的有效期爲四年,允許每年採礦量爲200,000噸的情況下總產量爲160,000盎司的黃金。

Additional trenching results from four sites up to 100 m to the south of the trenches reported here are pending. More sampling is required at Massala to determine the full extent of the near-surface potential of the mineralization, and metallurgical testing will also be needed to determine gold recoveries.

等待來自該處四個位於此處的掘溝(SOUTH)(10,000萬處)的額外掘溝結果。在Massala需要更多采樣以確定地表附近金屬礦化的全部潛力,並且還需要進行冶金測試以確定黃金回收率。

Massala Trench Sampling Results

Massala掘溝樣品化驗結果

Mineralization at Massala was identified previously by shallow air core drilling with the interception of a wide mineralized zone that included 24 m @ 2.35 g/t Au (SAAC123; see Compass Press release April 18, 2023). Subsequent drilling identified additional gold mineralization along strike and downdip along the 3.5-kilometre Tarabala trend. With higher grades reported near surface, Compass excavated two trenches at Massala to determine if a near surface resource was possible. Samples were collected from trench MATR001 at 1, 2 and 5 m depths. The 1 m depth sample identified gold mineralization over 24 m @ 1.24 g/t Au, the 2 m depth sample 18 m @ 1.44 g/t Au, and the 5 m depth sample 20 m @ 4.13 g/t Au (including 1 m @ 71.6 g/t Au), Figure 2. The sampling is in excellent agreement with the previous drilling. A second trench, MATR002 was excavated 350 m to the south of MATR001 and was designed to test a narrow mineralized zone intercepted in SAAC235 containing 3 m @ 1.11 g/t Au. Sampling at a depth of 1 and 4 m over the 29 m length of this trench did not detect gold grades greater than 0.13 g/t Au. It is likely that the trench did not continue far enough eastward to intercept the mineralization.

先前通過淺空氣鑽孔識別了Massala處的礦化,攔截了一個寬礦化帶,其中包括2400萬 @ 2.35 g/t Au(SAAC123;請參閱Compass Press發佈的2023年4月18日)。隨後的鑽探沿3.5公里的Tarabala趨勢在走向和傾向上識別了其他黃金礦化。隨着靠近地表的品位報告,Compass在Massala挖掘了兩個掘溝,以確定近地表資源是否可能。從MATR001的掘溝收集了樣品1、2和500萬深度處的樣品。100萬深處的樣品確定了2400萬 @ 1.24 g/t Au的金礦化,200萬深處的樣品確定了1800萬 @ 1.44 g/t Au,而500萬深處的樣品確定了2000萬 @ 4.13 g/t Au(包括100萬 @ 71.6 g/t Au),詳見圖2。採樣結果與先前的鑽探非常吻合。第二個掘溝MATR002位於MATR001以南的35000萬處,旨在測試SAAC235中包含的300萬@1.11g/t Au的一條窄礦化帶。這條掘溝1和400萬處所採樣的2900萬長度沒有檢測到大於0.13 g/t Au的含金品位。該掘溝可能沒有繼續向東攔截礦化。

The location of trenches MATR003 to MATR007 are illustrated on Figure 2 and represent a distance of 150 m along the mineralized trend. The trenches were sited 25 m apart and 5 m deep, and samples were collected a depths of 2m and 4 m. The assay results of the program are presented in Table 1.

MATR003到MATR007的掘溝位置在圖2中說明,沿礦化趨勢距離爲15000萬。掘溝的間距爲2500萬,深度爲500萬,並在200萬和400萬處採集樣品。計劃的化驗結果呈現在表1中。

圖2:顯示Massala已完成掘溝的地圖位置。

The widest intercept was recorded from trench MATR005, which contained 21 m @ 3.51 g/t Au (from 2 m depth) and 4 m @ 1.13 g/t Au (at 4 m depth). The 2 m depth interval compares well with MATR001 immediately to the south, which contained 24 m @ 1.24 g/t Au. MATR004 was located 50 m to the north of MATR005 and contained 4 m @ 13.14 g/t Au (at 2 m), which included the highest grade interval of 1 m @ 40.29 g/t Au.

攔截最寬的是掘溝MATR005,其中包含2100萬 @ 3.51 g/t Au(來自200萬深度)和400萬 @ 1.13 g/t Au(400萬深度)。 200萬深度間隔與南方的MATR001相當,後者包含2400萬 @ 1.24 g/t Au。 MATR004位於MATR005以北5000萬處,其中包含400萬 @ 13.14 g/t Au(在2米處),其中包括100萬 @ 40.29 g/t Au的最高品位間隔。

Trenches MATR006 and MATR007 were excavated 25 m and 50 m, respectively, to the south of MATR001. Mineralized widths encountered in these trenches did not exceed 4 m or grades greater than 1.1 g/t Au at depths of 2 and 4 m. The widest interval was 3 m @ 0.69 g/t Au (at 2 m) from MATR006, which included the highest-grade sample of 1 m @ 1.03 g/t Au.

MATR006和MATR007的掘溝向南分別挖掘了2500萬和5000萬處。在這些掘溝中遇到的礦化寬度未超過400萬,深度爲2和400萬的品位也未超過1.1 g/t Au。最寬的間隔爲MATR006中的300萬 @ 0.69 g/t Au(在2m處),其中包括最高品位的100萬 @ 1.03 g/t Au樣品。

Technical Details

技術細節

All trenches at Massala were excavated to a depth of 5 m. Trench lengths varied from 50 to 70 m to account for the width of the mineralization projected to surface from drilling previously performed at the prospect. The total length of the trenches was 305 m. All trenches were mapped and structural measurements recorded. Continuous horizontal channel samples were collected using a diamond saw and carefully chiselled out every metre over the length of the trench.

Massala的所有溝槽都挖到了500萬的深度。溝槽長度因礦化物的寬度而異,從50到7000萬不等。溝槽的總長度爲30500萬。所有溝槽都進行了測繪,並記錄了結構測量數據。使用金剛石鋸進行連續水平切割試樣,每隔1米取一份,並沿着溝槽長度精細鑿出。

The excavation was performed by a local contractor under the supervision of Compass geologists. All samples were prepared by Compass staff, and an appropriate number of standards, duplicates and blanks were submitted and analyzed for gold using cyanide-leach (LeachWELL) analysis at SGS (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso).

當地承包商在指南針地質學家的監督下進行了開挖。所有樣品都由指南針工作人員準備,在檢測金屬時,適量的標準樣品、重複樣品和空白樣品經氰化物浸出(LeachWELL)分析,在S.G.S.(布基納法索瓦加杜古分公司)進行分析。
