Element79 Gold Corp.
Overview
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM,OTC:ELMGF) is an exploration and development mining company with the potential for near-term production through its Lucero project in Peru. The Lucero mine is one of the highest-grade underground mines in Peru’s history and is on the fast track for production. Additionally, the company’s two exploration projects in Nevada, Clover and West Whistler, create further opportunities for future resource development. A globally-experienced management team with a proven track record of success in developing operational mines leads Element79 toward fully realizing the potential of its assets.
Lucero is a past-producing, high-grade gold mine ready to reach production quickly. The mine operated between 1989 to 2005. Historic reports between 1998 and 2004 indicate that the mine produced approximately 18,800 ounces of gold and 435,000 ounces of silver per year at 19 grams per ton (g/t) gold equivalent. An NI 43-101 report prepared by a third party indicates grades up to 116.8 g/t gold equivalent. In addition to generating near-term cash flow, the 10,805-hectare Lucero project also has high upside potential for further greenfield exploration.
Peru is considered a relatively stable mining jurisdiction, especially for smaller-scale operations. As mining is an essential aspect of the country’s GDP, Peru has developed a favorable regulatory regime for its mining industry. Element79 Gold is poised to benefit from the pro-mining jurisdiction as it moves the Lucero asset toward production.
Ground work at the Lucero property is currently underway, where Element79 has engaged Ore Discovery LLC, a technical mining service provider, to work in conjunction with Element79’s operations team. The work includes above-ground and underground mapping, sampling, trenching, drill site targeting on both better-known and unexplored vein systems, for exploration and de-risked resource development on the path toward ore extraction and near-term cash flow generation.
Latest underground mapping and channel sampling efforts on the Lucero property have revealed additional insights, documenting an expansive network spanning 8.9 kilometers of workings, with 85 percent now meticulously mapped and sampled. A total of 19 adits have been mapped, with 10 additional adits remaining for underground mapping. Intersected mineralization conforms to the intermediate sulfidation epithermal style, characterized by gold-silver veins with associated lead and zinc sulphides.
In June 2023, Element79 Gold further strengthened its portfolio in Peru with the acquisition of the 1,200-hectare Lucero del Sur 28, located strategically just east of the high-grade Lucero gold-silver project. Lucero del Sur 28 is a coveted area covering the Roxana vein, a vein dominated by white to hyaline quartz and altered rock clasts, with lesser amounts of limonite patinas, hematite, pyrite and jarosite.
In North America, the company holds a portfolio of mining properties in Nevada, one of which is the Maverick Springs gold and silver project. With an inferred 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent, the project is located in one of the world’s richest gold mining districts and is located only 30 kilometers away from the Kinross (NYSE:KGC) Bald Mountain Mine. It is currently under an option agreement to sell wherein the company stands to generate CAD $4.4 million cash and AUD $800,000 in shares of Green Power Minerals (soon to be known as Sun Silver Limited by July 2024.
A powerhouse management team leads Element79 Gold with a track record of experience and success. Antonio Maragakis, Former COO and now Director, has held director-level positions at miners with multi-billion dollar portfolios, including Barrick Gold Corporation and Koch Industries. In addition, Kim Kirkland, Chief Operating Officer, has led engineering roles in some of the world’s largest mining companies, such as Rio Tinto Group and Barrick Gold Corporation.
Shane Williams, strategic advisor, brings a history of significant value creation in early-stage and operating companies and currently heads West Red Lake Gold (TSXV:WRLG) as president and CEO. Combined, Element79 has the right experts to fully realize its assets' potential.Company Highlights

Key Projects
Lucero Gold Project
The 10,805-hectare project in southern Peru presents near-term cash flow potential as it moves toward production. Lucero operated as a high-grade gold mine between 1989 and 2005 and remains partially unexplored. As a result, the asset is in a unique position to start generating revenue while also providing future growth opportunities with additional exploration.
Project Highlights:
- Encouraging Historic Results: Reports from 1998 to 2004 indicate production averaging roughly 18,800 ounces of gold and 435,000 ounces of silver per year, with grades of 14.0 g/t gold and 373 g/t silver. Additionally, the asset contains recoveries at the ore processing facility averaging 94.5 percent for gold and 85.5 percent for silver for near-term cash flow.
- Unique Geology: Lucero hosts 74 recognized epithermal veins, 14 of which have been partially exploited. The project is a low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver deposit hosted within tertiary volcanics in the Central Andes Cordillera of southern Peru. The project also hosts unexplored high-sulphidation style mineralization, which has returned surface samples up to 33.6 g/t gold.
- Promising Resource Estimate: A third-party NI 43-101 report indicates grades up to 116.8 g/t gold equivalent, or 78.7 g/t gold and 2,856 g/t silver. Element79 Gold is moving towards production to capitalize on these resources.
Maverick Springs Gold Project
The Nevada-based Maverick Springs gold project covers 4,800 acres on top of a gold belt with deposits approximately five miles wide and 40 miles long. The project’s gold belt district has produced more gold than any other mining district in the United States.
Project Highlights:
- Prolific Resource Estimate: A 2021 constrained mineral resource statement estimates that the asset contains 124.4 million tonnes at 68.9 g/t gold equivalent, which indicates 278 million ounces of gold equivalent. This estimate demonstrates the high upside potential of the project.
- Existing Infrastructure: The Maverick Springs gold project is accessible year-round via a gravel road and contains a network of drill roads throughout its claims. The asset also has nearby electrical power that minimizes initial development costs.
Clover Gold Property
The Clover Property is located in the historic Midas Mining District in Nevada, which has been producing gold and silver since the early 1900s and is 16 kilometers west of Hecla Mining Company’s Midas Mine, the largest known gold-silver epithermal deposit along the Northern Nevada Rift. Mineralization at the property is classified as low-sulphidation, vein-hosted, epithermal gold mineralization similar to that found at the Midas deposit as it is found within a similar geologic setting. Gold and silver mineralization at the Midas Mine is hosted in several northwest-striking veins. Between 1998 and 2013, the main veins produced over 2 million ounces of gold.
A $6.7-million program is planned for the Clover Property focused on data compilation, construction of geologic and resource models, and a 10,000-meter drilling program followed by a mineral resource estimate and NI 43-101 compliant preliminary economic assessment.
Project Highlights
- Consists of 169 unpatented claims encompassing 3,063 acres.
- Located in the historic Midas Mining District, which has been producing gold and silver since the early 1900s, along the northeast trending Getchell Trend that bridges the northwestern ends of the Carlin and Battle Mountain Trends and contains Nevada Gold’s active Turquoise Ridge Mine, the third largest gold mine in the US with 537,000 ounces of gold production reported in 2020.
- Drilling by previous operators intersected mineralized and veined breccias and shear zones with significant intercepts including 9.7 meters grading 25.3 g/t gold, 7.6 meters of 7.9 g/t gold and 3 meters of 10 g/t gold.
- Work to date by Element79 found that the property has ubiquitous expressions of precious metals and pathfinder elements in rock chip, soil geochemistry and drill hole intercepts consistent with the Midas, Hollister and other classical epithermal systems.
West Whistler
The West Whistler Property is located in the Eureka Mining District, which hosts mid-Cretaceous, igneous-related, polymetallic carbonate replacement deposits that have subsequently been overprinted by Carlin-type gold-silver mineralization. The property is located along the southeastern end of the Battle Mountain Trend near several gold deposits including the Cortez Mine, the third largest gold mine in North America with 2021 gold production of 828,000 ounces.
Since its acquisition, Element79 has completed high-level data review and conceptual plans for target identification. The company has a $ 700,000 program planned for the West Whistler Property focused on field operations, surface sampling and structural analysis in order to develop drill targets
Project Highlights
- Consists of 103 unpatented claims encompassing 2,057 acres in the Eureka Mining District.
- Located within the Battle Mountain Trend in close proximity to several gold deposits including the Cortez Mine, the third largest gold mine in North America with 2021 gold production of 828,000 ounces.
- Targeting a deposit similar to that found at the Rain Deposit located 113 kilometers to the north where the Saddle Zone deposit hosts 1.15 million tons grading 0.57 oz/t gold for 782,000 ounces of gold.
- In this model, the gold is deposited above or near the Devils Gate-Webb Formation contact adjacent to northwest and northeast trending gold-bearing fault zones. At the West Whistler Property a 2-kilometer by 0.65-kilometer window of Devonian Devil’s Gate Limestone and Webb Formation is exposed in the southern portion of the claim block.

Element79 Elevating Community Relations: Discussing Pending Formalization with Artisanal Miners and Reporting on Social Initiatives Leading to Restarting Production at Lucero
VANCOUVER, BC T he N ewswire April 25, 2024 Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM) (OTC: ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS) ("Element79" the "Company ") provides an update on recent social affairs development and ongoing initiatives with the Chachas community at its Lucero project.
Fostering Collaboration with Artisanal Miners
As part of Element79's ongoing efforts and community engagement, the Company's community relations team recently organized a coordination meeting with artisanal miners from Lomas Doradas during the month of April. The meeting aimed to foster collaborative relationships between the groups, seeking mutual support as the Company endeavours to use surface land to conduct exploration work. Moreover, the Company also sought exclusive agreements with artisanal miners, ensuring a unified approach to mineral extraction and resulting sale of ore.
With Element79's dedication to fostering productive relationships with all stakeholders, the Company has provided drafts of contracts for the potential of both a community approval of 10-year surface access rights for Element79 to access the Lucero mine site with exploration permission for the whole concession, as well as, in reciprocal fashion, to grant the approval of the local miners to work on the mine site in defined locations over the next 10 years; among other terms, Lomas Doradas will also provide its mined product to Element79 for subsequent resale to market. Element79 intends to use its institutional and industry contacts to source optimal market pricing for Lomas Doradas' ore while providing a revenue stream for both parties.
A pivotal meeting is scheduled in Chachas on April 28 th to further solidify collaboration between the Company and Lomas Doradas, where the community will vote on these initiatives in order to formalize the relationship between the two parties. Further updates on, and details of this key initiative will follow, pending feedback and results of the April 28 meeting.
Community Assistance in Times of Need
Earlier in March, a major landslide left the Chachas community isolated from its neighbouring annex, Nahuira. Element79's team on the ground swiftly responded to the community's need for assistance, providing crucial support in transferring community members stranded on the other side of the landslide while it was being cleared from the roads.
Cultural Integration and Traditional Ceremony
Element79's community relation team recently participated in a traditional Water Ceremony alongside local authorities and community leaders. This customary Chachas ceremony, involving offerings to the water, highlights the deep-rooted cultural traditions of the Chachas community. The Company was honored to be involved in such a rich and culturally-steeped ritual which further showcases its commitment to meaningful community engagement and ongoing integration.
Sustained Engagement in Social Awareness
Site visits of the Chachas community and neighbouring annexes have continued since the beginning of the year, bolstering social awareness while garnering support for ongoing and future exploration activities. Element79's team has engaged in internal consultations with annex leaders, receiving encouraging support for its initiatives. In alignment with sustainable development objectives, the Company advocates for a progressive approach, prioritizing exploration as a precursor to exploitation permits, aligning with the community's interests.
Cultivating Community Bond Through Education
Finally, as part of its steadfast dedication to the long-term prosperity of the community, notably through educational empowerment, Element79 along with its engaged NGO, Unidos por el Medioambiente (UMA) was recently invited to conduct a workshop on environment, economy and society as part of an initiative with the Education Institute of the Chachas community. The workshop was a pivotal platform for fostering discussions and sharing invaluable insights on the environment, economy, and society. The event's active engagement from community members and stakeholders underscored Element79's commitment to promoting knowledge-sharing and sustainable development within the Chachas community and beyond.

EIS Funding of $180,000 Awarded for Drilling at Caligula, a Significant Copper Target at the Arkun Project, WA
- Co-funding of up to $180,000 awarded under the WA Government’s EIS scheme to drill the large and significant Caligula copper target identified in soil geochemistry data and Mobile Magneto-Telluric (MMT) data.
- Caligula comprises a 5 km by 1 km soil geochemistry anomaly containing copper-silver-cobalt+/- tellurium-bismuth-molybdenum associated with numerous conductors identified in the MMT data that may represent disseminated or massive sulphides.
- Infill and extensional soil geochemistry surveys have been completed to help define specific drill targets with assays due this Quarter.
- The statutory approvals process for a drill programme has now commenced.
- The aircore drill programme at the Hyperion Prospect, which forms part of IPT’s broader Arkun Project, has been completed. Hand-held XRF data is being interpreted to help select samples for assaying, with results expected later this Quarter.
The Caligula prospect comprises a large soil geochemistry anomaly that is coincident with several significant conductors identified in helicopter-borne Mobile Magneto-Telluric (MMT) data that may represent disseminated or massive sulphides (ASX Releases 9th August 2023 and January 24th 2024).
Caligula is 15 km west of the Hyperion Rare Earth Element prospect anomaly, where an aircore drill programme was recently completed (ASX Releases January 4th 2024 and April 19th 2024). The Arkun project was also recently expanded with three new tenement applications (Figure 1 and ASX Release March 14th 2024).
Impact Minerals’ Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, said, “This award validates our exploration programmes at Arkun over the past few years. Caligula is one of many geochemical and geophysical targets we have at the project and so the information we will gain from the proposed drill programme will add immensely to our knowledge of this poorly exposed and poorly explored area. We will now start the statutory approvals process for the drilling. We have just completed our maiden drill programme at Hyperion to test for Rare Earth Elements and are interpreting the handheld XRF data to select samples for assaying, and we are looking forward to those results”.
Figure 1. Location and regional geological setting of Impact’s Arkun and other projects shown in blue in the emerging mineral province of southwest Western Australia. Significant nickel deposits are shown in orange, lithium deposits in green and gold deposits in yellow.
Soil Geochemistry Results
The Caligula prospect comprises an area of anomalous copper-in-soils that extends over about 5,000 metres north-south and up to at least 2,000 metres east-west. It is open to the east and the southwest (Figure 2). The copper is associated with anomalous silver and cobalt and, in the southern part of the anomaly, also has a strong association with bismuth, tellurium and lesser molybdenum (Figure 2). Details about the soil geochemistry results were included in the ASX Release of January 24th 2024.

Orroroo Uranium Project, South Australia
Norfolk Metals Ltd (Norfolk or the Company) is pleased to advise the maiden drill program was completed with a further 5 holes drilled across EL6552 being drilled in Phase 2 of the program in January 2024, taking the total number of holes completed in the maiden program to seventeen (17) (Figure 1). Phase 2 of the program sought to test the palaeochannel model at the Wongway Creek Target (formerly Target 1) where suitable drill access was available. A total of three (3) holes were drilled along the river traverse of the Wongway Creek Target testing both upstream and downstream regions. One (1) hole was drilled downstream of the No Name Creek Target (formerly Target 3) as well as the Rankin Rd Target (formerly Target 4). The completion of the maiden drill program has successfully delineated uranium in ten (10) of the seventeen (17) holes providing data for the Company to further develop a geological model of the Walloway Basin (Figure 3). Most importantly, the interpreted uranium bearing floodplain intersected upstream of Wongway Creek gives Norfolk confidence in the palaeochannel model and future exploration efforts can be planned accordingly. Peak grade of 796ppm pU308 was intersected in ORMR007.
*peak grade(s) noted are the direct detection of pU308 over a 0.02m interval by Prompt Fission Neutron downhole logging within a composite intersection with a cut-off grade greater than 100ppm pU308.

Floodplain Interpretation
The pre-drilling model was targeting the presence of prospective palaeochannels approximately 100 to 150 metres to the south of the modern-day creeks associated with uranium intersected in historical Linc Energy Wells. Drilling results from Phase 1 indicated that the uranium in the Linc Energy Wells appeared to be associated with a secondary permeability created by downward displacement of the sediments resulting from basement faulting or soft sediment deformation. Phase 2 drilling continued to test the targeted prospective palaeochannels located to the south of the modern-day creeks at closer than expected distance of 50m. Younger palaeochannels were seen south of the modern-day creeks in ORMR004 (Walloway Creek Target) and ORMR016 (Rankin Rd Target) at the base of the regolith. This further supports the model of palaeochannels occurring south of the modern-day creeks due to a change in regional slope.
Drillhole ORMR015A was drilled 50m south of the modern-day creek at Wongway Creek Target. Drilling upstream from previous holes enabled easier location of the targeted prospective and potentially wider palaeochannel. This hole encountered what appears to be a silt dominated floodplain with minor gravel and two elevated gamma anomalies signifying uranium towards the top of this unit as well as the base of this unit (Figure 2). This unit appears to be the middle section of a palaeochannel between the sand and gravel dominated incising part of a palaeochannel and the clay dominated edge of a floodplain.
