Adventure Gold Reports10.6 G/t Gold Over 11.5 Meters in Channel Sampling

Adventure Gold (TSXV:AGE) has reported channel sampling results from two mechanical stripping areas at its New Beliveau gold deposit in Quebec.
Highlights of results included:

6.4 g/t Au over 19.7 metres including a section grading 10.6 g/t Au over 11.5 metres;
4.6 g/t Au over 25.7 metres including a section grading 15.5 g/t Au over 5.9 metres;
7.6 g/t Au over 13.9 metres including a section grading 11.7 g/t Au over 7.7 metres;
3.2 g/t Au over 18.5 metres including a section grading 8.5 g/t Au over 5.6 metres;
2.3 g/t Au over 18.3 metres including a section grading 6.8 g/t Au over 4.7 metres;
1.6 g/t Au over 47.7 metres including a section grading 3.1 g/t Au over 11.5 metres and 3.6 g/t Au over 7.1 metres

As quoted in the press release:

The East and West strip areas exposed four gold zones where high grade mineralization (higher than 5 g/t Au) can reach up to 20 metres in thickness. The mechanical stripping work also succeeded in outlining a new east-west gold zone that was never intercepted before by drilling in the West strip area. In addition, new gold envelopes delineated at 0.5 g/t Au are twice the size than the ones interpreted from the surface block model (0-10 metres). This should increase the grade of the dilution material in future modelling. Dilution was set at 0 g/t Au in the preliminary pit shell optimization.
The gold grade of all the 634 samples collected on the strip zones covering a surface of 3,230 m² averages 1.45 g/t Au with the best sample grading 93.4 g/t Au over 1 metre. All mineralized zones remain open laterally and extensions could be stripped later. The assay results from the channel sampling generally exceeded in grade and in thickness these obtained from the drill core. Table 1 shows a comparison between the drill hole and channel sampling results. All the results are listed in Table 2. Figures 1 to 3 show the location of the sample channels, the geology and the gold distribution on the West and East strip zones.
