Goldstorm Metals drills 4.5 m of 27 g/t Au at Electrum

2023-11-14 12:26 ET - News Release

Mr. Ken Konkin reports

GOLDSTORM METALS DRILLS 57.34 G/T GOLD WITH 214.27 G/T SILVER OVER 2.10 METERS INCLUDING 233.5 G/T GOLD WITH 756.0 G/T SILVER OVER 0.5 METERS IN NEAR-SURFACE INTERCEPT AT THE ELECTRUM PROPERTY, IN NORTHWESTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Goldstorm Metals Corp. has released the results from the final nine holes of the 2023 diamond drill exploration program on its 100-per-cent-owned Electrum gold-silver (Au-Ag) property, located within the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia, Canada.

The property is located immediately north of Scottie Resources' claims, and along a well-defined trend of former gold-silver producers that includes Ascot's Premier mine to the south. The project area is road accessible from Stewart, B.C. The program at Electrum totalled 2,581 metres (m) in 11 drill holes that tested epithermal veins hosting precious and base-metal mineralization.

Ken Konkin, PGeo, president and chief executive officer, comments: "We are extremely pleased to announce the results from high-grade gold and silver intersections within subparallel polymetallic breccia and stockwork zones at our Electrum project. The precious and base-metal mineralization encountered may be an extension to the bulk-tonnage Au-Ag veinlet system reported in our first press release dated Oct. 4, 2023. Our technical team believes that the hydrothermal veining may be related to an underlying porphyry system and that the high-grade components are possibly a late-stage event. We appear to have two distinct pulses of veining, the near-surface event is a silver-dominant lead-zinc system with minor gold, while a deeper pulse is a gold-silver event. Given the success of these first set of drill holes at Electrum, we plan to return to these multiphase targets, with particular attention given to the larger bulk-tonnage gold-silver veinlet stockwork system encountered in the first two drill holes of the program, holes EZ-23-01 and EZ-23-02. We expect to build on the success of these holes and the high-grade gold-silver intercepts within EZ-23-08 and EZ-23-11 for the 2024 exploration season. In addition, reconnaissance prospecting/mapping crews were equally successful in making significant precious and base-metal discoveries throughout the Crown claim group northwest of the Electrum property. News releases presenting these results will be forthcoming shortly, pending final assays."

About the Electrum project

The Electrum property is located directly between Newmont Corp.'s Brucejack mine, approximately 20 kilometres to the north, and the past-producing Silbak Premier mine, 20 km to the south.

Mineralization at Electrum is controlled by two major fault lines that locally host bonanza gold grades, along with broader stockwork zones, within a complex geological model. Similar to the nearby Brucejack mine, gold and silver mineralization occurs as coarse electrum in several generations of quartz-carbonate veins and vein breccias hosted within a deformed volcanic-sedimentary sequence. Intermediate-to-low sulphidation gold and silver mineralization is present in many of the veins, accompanied by pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. Precious metal mineralized veins have been traced on surface over lengths of several tens of metres to more than 100 metres, pinching and swelling along strike. Much of the work at Electrum to date has tested extensions of known epithermal veins that have returned several high silver and gold values from limited underground mining and trench exposures.

Drilling by previous operators encountered gold-silver mineralization at depths of more than 200 metres from surface, with several holes intersecting relatively wide zones containing narrow quartz-sulphide stockwork veins that returned moderate precious metal values. These intercepts are located beneath surface exposures that were subsequently blasted, trenched and bulk sampled in an area referred to as the New Blast zone in 2016 by Tudor Gold (2016 assessment report on the Electrum property, M.D. Skeena, British Columbia, 171029). Here, a 3.8-tonne bulk sample that was collected from a five-metre-wide zone averaged 2.82 g/t gold, 539 g/t silver, 1.96 per cent lead and 1.97 per cent zinc. Localized veins, found within some of the wider drill intervals, contain electrum and silver sulphosalt minerals that have returned much higher silver and gold values over narrow widths.

In addition to high-grade gold and silver mineralization targets, Electrum hosts untested geophysical anomalies at depth beneath the main vein zones, as well as an area at the south end of Electrum that shows evidence of potential porphyry-style mineralization.
