Generic Gold Corp. (CSE:GGC) (FSE: 1WD) (“Generic Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the initiation of a reverse circulation (“RC“) drill program on its Goodman property in Yukon, Canada.
The drilling program will consist of approximately 400 metres testing coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies that occur within and at the margin of the Murphy Intrusion. This intrusive body, inferred from airborne geophysics and prospecting, is approximately 5 by 1.5 kilometres in size and coincident with significant soil geochemistry (up to 324 ppb Au, 782 ppm Sb, 809 ppm As) and prospecting results (up to 0.4 g/t Au, >2000 ppm Sb, and 3100 ppm As). An induced polarization geophysical program completed late in the 2017 field season identified numerous drill targets that correlate directly with several of these geochemical anomalies. A first pass drilling campaign completed during the fall of 2017 identified gold in bedrock up to 0.14 g/t Au over 14 metres in the metasedimentary rocks proximal to the Murphy Intrusion (see Generic Gold press release dated March 20, 2018). This drilling campaign is the first time the Murphy Intrusion and associated anomalies will be tested, both of which share many similarities to Victoria Gold’s neighbouring Eagle Gold project which is currently in the construction phase.

The Goodman property covers an area of roughly 19 x 5 kilometres, located 40 kilometres northwest of the village of Mayo, and is accessible by a government-maintained all-season road. The property is in the Mayo mining district, and is contiguous with Victoria Gold’s Eagle Gold project (Proven & Probable Reserves 2.67 Moz Au (Victoria Gold Corp. Feasibility Study, October 26, 2016)), along the interpreted extension of the Potato Hills Trend. The Goodman property is also proximal to Alexco Resources’ Keno Hill Silver District project and Golden Predator’s Gold Dome project.
