Precipitate samples Au-in-soil anomaly at Ginger Ridge

PRECIPITATE IDENTIFIES NEW 850 METRE LONG GOLD-IN-SOIL ANOMALY AT GINGER RIDGE, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Precipitate Gold Corp. has discovered a new gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly at the Ginger Ridge zone, resulting from the continuing and wide-ranging exploration activities within the company's 100-per-cent-owned Juan de Herrera project in the Dominican Republic.

Recent soil sampling at and around the Ginger Ridge zone has identified a new gold-in-soil anomaly located approximately one kilometre east of the main drill test area. The multielement soil geochemical anomaly has a northwest-southeast trend and exceeds 850 metres in length, with an average 100 m width, and is open ended to the southeast toward the eastern property boundary shared with GoldQuest Mining Corp. Currently, Precipitate field staff are carrying out comprehensive follow-up work that includes additional soil and rock sampling, detailed geological mapping, and ground magnetic surveying. See the company's website for the Ginger Ridge gold-in-soil anomaly illustration map. Initial work at this new anomaly within the Ginger Ridge zone has yielded the following preliminary results:

  • New Ginger Ridge gold-in-soil anomaly (plus other important pathfinder elements, including arsenic, antimony, silver, lead and zinc) located approximately one km east of the main drill test area. The anomaly trends northwest-southeast, ranges from 75 m to 250 m wide by at least 850 m long and remains open to the southeast;
  • The soil anomaly is coincident with recently identified induced polarization (IP) gradient geophysical anomalies; resistivity high and weak to moderate chargeability;
  • Discovery of a large barite subcrop exposure hosted in altered Tireo volcanics located within the soil anomaly. Barite is commonly associated with notable Tireo gold camp gold-in-soil mineral systems and with volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) systems in particular.

Soil sample coverage was recently extended to the east of the Ginger Ridge main anomaly to: (i) test recently identified gradient IP geophysical anomalies in the area; and (ii) to investigate the geology on trend from GoldQuest's Cachimbo VMS-style discovery area, located 2.0 km northwest of Ginger Ridge.

Jeffrey Wilson, Precipitate's president and chief executive officer, stated: "We are very pleased that our expanded exploration work has identified a prospective new gold-in-soil anomaly situated immediately east of the main Ginger Ridge drill zone. The newly identified geochemical anomaly overlies a compelling geophysical target comprised of a combined coincident high resistivity and weak to moderate chargeability in a geological setting analogous to other mineralized zones that occur in the Tireo formation. In addition, the discovery of a large barite subcrop, hosted in Tireo volcanic rocks, within the confines of the soil anomaly, is an important new development, as barite is commonly associated with Tireo gold systems. A more detailed program of surface sampling and geological and ground magnetic geophysical surveying in the vicinity of the barite subcrop is ongoing and will greatly assist with the geological interpretation of the anomaly as a possible near-term drill target."

Soil sampling at Ginger Ridge now comprises an area measuring about 3.4 km by 1.6 km, covering much of the prospective Tireo volcanic rocks in the zone. The recent soil samples were collected at 25 m to 50 m intervals along northeast-oriented grid lines at 100 m line intervals. The multielement soil anomaly is characterized by a correlation of gold with various pathfinder elements which include arsenic, antimony, silver, lead and zinc. The gold-in-soil anomaly is defined by values exceeding the 70th percentile (5.1 parts per billion). To date, gold-in-soil values within the new anomaly area range from nil to 730 ppb.

Similar fieldwork is being conducted elsewhere within and around Ginger Ridge as the company seeks to expand its pipeline of targets in advance of further drill testing. Additional field results will be reported as they become available.

This news release has been reviewed by Michael Moore, PGeo, vice-president, exploration, of Precipitate Gold, the qualified person for the technical information in this news release under National Instrument 43-101 standards.

Rock and soil samples were bagged, sealed and delivered directly to the Bureau Veritas (BV) preparation facility in Maimon, Dominican Republic, where they were dried, crushed (or sieved in the case of soils) and pulped. Sample pulps were then delivered to BV facilities in Vancouver, B.C. (an ISO 9001-accredited facility), for analyses. Samples were crushed (or sieved) to with up to 80 per cent passing two millimetres and split using a riffle splitter (code PRP70-250). An approximate 250-gram subsample split was pulverized to minus-200 mesh (74 micrometres). A 15-gram subsplit from the resulting pulp was then subjected to aqua regia digestion and multielement ICP-MS analysis (code AQ201). Rock sample results with gold greater than 1,000 parts per billion were subjected to fire assay (ICP-ES finish) analysis (30 g pulp; code FA330-Au).
