TOOGOOD GOLD CORP. OPTIONS GOLDEN NUGGET PROPERTY, EXPANDING CONTIGUOUS AND HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE TOOGOOD GOLD PROJECT IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Toogood Gold Corp. has acquired an option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest the Golden Nugget property, a highly prospective group of claims contiguous to the company's flagship Toogood gold project, located on New World Island, Newfoundland, Canada.
Key point summary:
- Golden Nugget consists of a 3,000-hectare land package covering over 12 kilometres of underexplored fertile gold trend;
- Secures an additional greater than 10 kilometres of Melange contact, which now totals greater than 15 km of prospective strike property-wide;
- Notably, an 8.5-kilometre-long trend of strongly anomalous coastline hosts a subset of:
- 148 historical rock samples which grade greater than or equal to one gram per tonne gold (average of approximately seven g/t Au);
- 87 per cent (n equal to 129) of these samples are reported as outcrop sourced;
- Includes a 6.5-kilometre-long trend hosting 36 historical rock samples grading greater than five g/t Au (average of approximately 26 g/t Au), with 83 per cent (n equal to 30) reported as outcrop sourced;
- High-grade gold (greater than five g/t) occurs in all rock groups, with historical channel samples having returned values of 50.2 g/t gold over 1.1 m, 87 g/t over 0.8 m and 29.2 g/t over 2.5 m;
- A comprehensive coastline rock sampling and mapping program to verify historical results is to commence in mid-October.
"The Golden Nugget acquisition represents a compelling opportunity for Toogood, adding 3,000 hectares and greater than 12 kilometres of highly prospective strike along a highly underexplored, fertile gold trend," said Colin Smith, chief executive officer of Toogood Gold. "Of particular significance is the 8.5-kilometre-long stretch of coastline, where historical rock sampling consistently returned high- to bonanza-grade gold directly from outcrop. It is extremely rare to see such a continuous, high-grade trend at surface that is devoid of extensive modern-day exploration. We look forward to launching our October rock sampling and mapping program to validate these exceptional results and lay the groundwork for potential future drilling."
