Tudor Gold drills 516 m of 1.19 g/t AuEq at Treaty

2023-08-15 09:13 ET - News Release

Mr. Ken Konkin reports

TUDOR GOLD CONTINUES TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND THE GOLDSTORM DEPOSIT TO THE NORTHEAST AS STEP-OUT HOLE GS-23-170 INTERSECTS 1.48 G/T AUEQ OVER 210 M WITHIN 516 M GRADING 1.19 G/T AUEQ, OUTSIDE THE GOLDSTORM DEPOSIT MINERAL RESOURCE AREA

Tudor Gold Corp. has released the second set of drill results for the 2023 exploration program at its flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.

Since the beginning of this year's program, the company has successfully completed over 21,000 metres (m) of drilling, within areas encompassing the Goldstorm deposit and the Perfectstorm zone. The five drill holes reported in this release are located in the northeastern area of the Goldstorm deposit.

Ken Konkin, president and chief executive officer, comments: "We are very pleased to confirm the continued expansion of the Goldstorm deposit to the northeast. Results from our northeasternmost stepout drilling from Section 120+50 NE will certainly expand the volume of the deposit with gold equivalent values well above the 0.7 g/t [gram per tonne] AuEq underground resource estimate cut-off grade used for our deposit. In addition, very large blocks within the previously estimated drill inferred category have been successfully intersected with very positive gold, copper and silver grades, which we believe will convert these blocks of mineralization into the drill indicated category. Our goal is to increase the size of the resource without diminishing the grade. This will be a critical component to the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) that we plan to complete once we have totally defined the Goldstorm deposit. We have completed five additional drill holes on the Goldstorm deposit and three drill holes at the Perfectstorm target, which are currently in the lab. Results will be announced once they are received and compiled. Crews have begun construction of drill pads required to pursue the northern aspects of the CS-600, 300H and DS5 domains for the 2024 drill program; these are beyond the scope and the time available to drill within our planned 2023 program. Defining the shape and extent of each domain is necessary prior to determining a mine plan, which is essential for the PEA level and beyond."

Section 117+50NE:

  • GS-23-166-W1: This hole targeted the northern aspects of the CS-600 and DS5 domains of the Goldstorm deposit. The hole first intersected the northern aspect of the CS-600 domain in an area that was classified as inferred in the April, 2023, mineral resource estimate (MRE). The hole then successfully intersected DS5 domain mineralization at approximately 115 metres outside and to the northwest of the previous DS5 domain boundary. Highlights include 153 m grading 1.29 g/t AuEq (0.75 g/t gold, 14.02 g/t silver, 0.33 per cent copper) with a 1.8 m intercept of 5.18 g/t AuEq (1.37 g/t Au, 374 g/t Ag, 0.09 per cent Cu). Several mineralized zones were encountered throughout the DS5 domain, including 45 m grading 1.09 g/t AuEq (1.02 g/t Au, 5.14 g/t Ag, 0.02 per cent Cu).
  • GS-23-168-W1: This hole targeted the deep, northwest portion of the CS-600 domain. The hole intersected an area classified as inferred in the previous MRE. Prior to entering the CS-600, a mineralized section of 75 m of 1.34 g/t AuEq (1.27 g/t Au, 5.89 g/t Ag, 0.01 per cent Cu) was cut, and this is interpreted to be the 300H domain. A long intercept of CS-600 included 296 m of 1.11 g/t AuEq (0.65 g/t Au, 5.03 g/t Ag, 0.35 per cent Cu) with an enriched intercept of 102 m grading 1.30 g/t AuEq (0.64 g/t Au, 7.39 g/t Ag, 0.50 per cent Cu).
  • GS-23-166: This hole was not sampled and shut down early due to excessive drill hole deviation. The hole was wedged and drilled as GS-23-166-W1.

Section 120+50NE:

  • GS-23-169: This hole was drilled outside of the resource area, and at a distance of 160 m northeast of the previous boundary, CS-600 was encountered, with a 190.5 m interval of 0.79 g/t AuEq (0.38 g/t Au, 5.58 g/t Ag, 0.30 per cent Cu) and an enriched section of 66 m grading 1.44 g/t AuEq (0.79 g/t Au, 8.45 g/t Ag, 0.47 per cent Cu). At depth, the DS5 domain was intersected at a stepout distance of 300 m to the north from the previously defined resource area. An intercept of 133.5 m grading 0.97 g/t AuEq (0.89 g/t Au, 5.55 g/t Ag, 0.02 per cent Cu) was reported.
  • GS-23-170: This hole was designed to expand the northern extent of the CS-600 domain. An intercept of 516 m grading 1.19 g/t AuEq (0.89 g/t Au, 2.86 g/t Ag, 0.23 per cent Cu) was encountered. This intercept represents a wider-than-expected interval of mineralization within the northern aspect of the CS-600 domain. An enriched section measured 90 m grading 2.07 g/t AuEq (1.93 g/t Au, 3.55 g/t Ag, 0.09 per cent Cu).

About Treaty Creek

The Treaty Creek project hosts the Goldstorm deposit, comprising a large gold-copper porphyry system, as well as several other mineralized zones. As disclosed in "NI-43-101 Technical Report for the Treaty Creek Project," dated April 28, 2023, prepared by Garth Kirkham Geosystems and JDS Energy & Mining Inc., the Goldstorm deposit has an indicated mineral resource of 23.37 million ounces (Moz) of AuEq grading 1.13 g/t AuEq (18.75 Moz gold grading 0.91 g/t, 2.18 billion pounds (Blb) copper grading 0.15 per cent, 112.4 Moz silver grading 5.45 g/t) and an inferred mineral resource of 7.35 Moz of AuEq grading 0.98 g/t AuEq (5.54 Moz gold grading 0.74 g/t, 850 million pounds (Mlb) copper grading 0.16 per cent, 45.08 Moz silver grading 5.99 g/t), with a pit-constrained cut-off of 0.5 g/t AuEq and an underground cut-off of 0.7 g/t AuEq. The Goldstorm deposit has been categorized into three dominant mineral domains and several smaller mineral domains. The CS-600 domain largely consists of an intermediate intrusive stock and hosts the majority of the copper mineralization within the Goldstorm deposit. CS-600 has an indicated mineral resource of 9.86 Moz AuEq grading 1.10 g/t AuEq (6.22 Moz gold grading 0.70 g/t, 1.98 Blb copper grading 0.32 per cent, 51.1 Moz silver grading 5.71 g/t) and an inferred mineral resource of 3.71 Moz AuEq grading 1.19 g/t AuEq (2.32 Moz gold grading 0.75 g/t, 760 Mlb copper grading 0.36 per cent, 18.71 Moz silver grading 6.01 g/t). The Goldstorm deposit remains open in all directions and requires further exploration drilling to determine the size and extent of the deposit.
