We are pleased to announce that we have received the final assays from 12
A counter-circulation (“RC”) borehole at the Philadelphia Hydrothermal Gold Project in Mojave County, Arizona.drilling program
Both the Footwall (FW) and Hanging Wall (HW) veins intersected high-grade gold values, with mineralized stockwork in between.
Five holes were completed in one of the three patented claims known as the Rising Phone Zone, and seven holes were completed at GAP in the Perry Zone.
All 12 holes intersected gold mineralization in previously unexcavated areas.
Highlights include 51 grams per tonne (“gpt”) of gold and 16.1 gpt of silver in FW veins from 54.88 meters (m) to 56.40m, and 18.2 gpt in HW veins from 13.72m to 15.24m. of gold and 46.6 gpt of silver. PRC23-97. The average across the interval from 10.67m to 60.98m (50.31m) is 2.89 gpt gold and 6.74 gpt silver.
Full summary assay results from 12 wells are tabulated below.
Greg Hahn. VP-Survey Comments,
“Drilling in these previously undrilled areas has delivered exactly what we were aiming for – the continuation of good grade mineralization. The zone continues to exhibit robust gold mineralization from near the surface to depths of 70 to 100 meters.The Perry Zone is particularly encouraged by the success of GAP drilling. We have confirmed the continuation of mineralization in the volcano, and importantly, the system remains open in both directions along the strike and along the downdip.”

current drilling
The company has commenced core drilling to test the downdip extension of the HW and FW veins and the western extremity of the recently identified Red Hill CSAMT geophysical target (see news release dated April 22, 2023). ). Results will be announced as soon as they are received.
QA/QC program
All assays were performed by ALS Global, an independent analytical laboratory. Reverse circulation (RC) cuts were shipped to the ALS sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona, where the samples were cataloged, dried, ground, and milled. The pulverized splits will be sent to his ALS analysis facility in Vancouver, British Columbia for analysis. All material handling is done under strict control protocols. Gold is measured by fire assay with AA finish, samples over 10 grams per tonne of gold are measured gravimetrically and silver is measured by his ICP-MS method within the 31 element suite.
In addition to ALS Global’s independent QA/QC protocol, we have a proprietary program to insert standard reference materials in the form of standards and blanks into the sampling stream prior to shipment to ALS’ preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona. is maintained.
