Angus Gold begins fall drill program at Golden Sky

ANGUS GOLD COMMENCES FIRST EXPLORATION DRILL PROGRAM ON EAGLE RIVER SPLAY GOLD TARGETS, GOLDEN SKY PROJECT, WAWA

Angus Gold Inc. has commenced the fall drilling program on the Eagle River splay area on its 100-per-cent-owned Golden Sky project in Wawa, Ont. The Eagle River splay area is located just south of Angus's newly discovered banded iron formation (BIF) gold zone, where the company has been actively drilling since 2021. This new exploration area covers an offshoot, or splay, of the Eagle River deformation zone, which is host to Wesdome's Eagle River mine. The program will comprise approximately 2,000 metres testing six targets.

Highlights:

  • Fall drilling program to test new gold targets in the Eagle River splay area;
  • Priority gold targets were identified with strong geophysical anomalies and are associated with a splay of the Eagle River deformation zone that is host to Wesdome's Eagle River mine;
  • Numerous historic surface samples greater than five grams per tonne gold were collected in the exploration area;
  • No historical drilling has been completed in this area;
  • Fall program to comprise approximately 2,000 metres in six holes.

Breanne Beh, chief executive officer of Angus, stated: "We are very excited to begin exploration on this compelling new exploration area. In addition to its proximity to the high-grade Eagle River mine, this area has numerous strong geophysical targets and surface gold showings and, remarkably, has never been drilled. This program epitomizes the reason why we were so attracted to the Golden Sky project and why we have had so much early success with our exploration. This is just one of many new targets we are generating in this highly underexplored land package."

The geologic setting of the Eagle River splay is similar to that of the Eagle River mine to the south, comprising diorite, similar to that hosting most of the Eagle River mine, as well as volcanics, within a well-defined shear structure. The deformed and interlayered mafic and felsic volcanic rock units closely mimic the geologic setting of Wesdome's Falcon zone. Historic rock samples collected at surface in this area have returned assay results of 12.34 grams per tonne gold, 5.86 grams per tonne gold, 5.35 grams per tonne gold and 5.13 grams per tonne gold. There has been no historical drilling completed in the company's portion of the Eagle River splay. Angus's detailed ground induced polarization (IP) survey, conducted by Abitibi Geophysics, has identified numerous chargeable trends in the exploration area that will aid with target selection. There is a spatial relationship between the chargeable IP trends and the historic grab samples with anomalous gold results.

The Golden Sky project

The 100-per-cent-owned Golden Sky project is located within the Mishibishu Lake greenstone belt of Northern Ontario, which is host to the high-grade Eagle River and the Mishi open-pit gold mines of Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. The company's 280-square-kilometre land package is located approximately 50 kilometres west of the town of Wawa and is situated immediately between the two Wesdome mines. The project is host to the near-surface Dorset gold zone, which contains a historic estimated resource (using a 0.50-gram-per-tonne-gold cut-off) consisting of an indicated resource of 40,000 ounces of gold (780,000 tonnes grading 1.4 grams per tonne gold), and an inferred resource of 180,000 ounces of gold (4.76 million tonnes grading 1.2 grams per tonne gold). For greater details on the Golden Sky project, please refer to the National Instrument 43-101 technical report for the Golden Sky project entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Wawa Property Ontario, Canada," dated Feb. 18, 2020, and available on the company's SEDAR profile.
