GOLDFLARE PRODUCES NEW TARGETS ON GOLDFIELDS

Goldflare Exploration Inc. has followed up in the extension of the Goldfields gold zone, up to the Destorbelle historical gold showing located up to 3.5 kilometres westward along the Porcupine-Destor break.

Highlights

• Drill program completed about 700 metres west from the Fayolle open pit;
• 2023 best results: 1.3 grams per tonne over 22.8 m in hole AIG-32-26. High grade interval of 113 g/t over one m in hole AIG-23-13;
• Multiple exploration targets defined over 3.5 km extension along the Porcupine-Destor break.

The company will evaluate five targets aided by the interpretation of historical magnetic surveys and the use of gold biogeochemistry. Goldflare determined that this approach should be preferred given the lack of outcrop and the thickness of the topsoil in targets areas. The company is convinced that the centre of significant mineralized system is probably not known.

Interpretation of the Goldfields mineralized zone shows a general northeast orientation, which is continuous along strike for approximately 100 metres. The dip varies between 65 degrees and 75 degrees to the northwest. The interpreted true thicknesses vary between three and 22 metres.

Gold results obtained in 2023 over a 100-metre strike length confirmed the gold potential of such structures, including 1.3 g/t gold over 22.8 metres including an enriched interval of 5.8 g/t gold over 2.4 m in hole AIG-23-26. A high grade of 113 g/t over one m was obtained in hole AIG-23-13 along the same structure.

New targets identification

The objective of the upcoming exploration work is first to extend the signature of the Goldfields zone to the southwest over a kilometre extension. Then, parallel inferred structures will be covered going westward along a 3.5 km segment of the Porcupine-Destor fault controlled by Goldflare. The Goldfields mineralized north-east trend corresponds to strike slip movements along the Destor-Porcupine fault, identified also by offsets in the magnetic pattern where there is no possibility of direct observation or interpretation from drill holes information.

The magnetic data treatment leads to interpret five northeast-trending lineaments, including the Goldfields axis, which can be evaluated for their gold potential. Each target thus defined covers an extension varying between 0.5 and 1.5 km:

• At the southeast corner of the property, the interpreted structure can be extended northeast to the Fayolle pit;
• Two other unexplored lineaments can be defined to the west;
• The same exercise also covered the Destorbelle showing located 3.5 km west of Goldfields. At this location, a northeast lineament corresponding to a strong mag contrast that intersects ultramafic units that serve as markers to follow the Porcupine-Destor fault. The Destorbelle showing is adjacent to this geophysical signature. Portions of the five lineaments will be covered by bark sampling grids at 50-to-100-metre spacing. Each target corresponds to an area of approximately one km by 0.5 km.

This prospecting method, which uses the ability of trees to fix gold from the root system, has been successfully tested in northern Abitibi in forest areas similar to the Goldfields sector (Beh B., et. al., 2021). Sampling work will begin in the spring.

Exploration model

The gold values intercepted on the Goldfields property are hosted in altered lamprophyre and syenite intrusions in fault contact between ultramafic volcanic rocks and basalts. Mineralization takes the form of free gold trapped in a network of joints and veinlets associated with minor amounts of sulphides (pyrite, chalcopyrite) and magnetite.

These observations are consistent with the geology of Iamgold's Fayolle deposit located approximately 700 metres to the east. Preliminary interpretation based on magnetic surveys has clearly demonstrated that the Fayolle deposit is part of the same structural pattern as the Goldfields property.

President and chief executive officer Ghislain Morin mentions: "Goldflare intends to apply exploration methods that are appropriate to the conditions of the field. The company believes that the time has come to innovate in terms of exploration methods while reducing exploration risk and investments at a preliminary stage. With these results, we hope to identify the signature of an important deposit under the overburden cover that has never been explored for this reason."
