Falcon Expands Gaspard Gold Project, Spences Bridge - Blackdome & Westhaven District

Falcon Expands Gaspard Gold Project, Spences Bridge - Blackdome & Westhaven District

Falcon Gold Corp. (TSXV:FG)(FRA:3FA)(OTCQB:FGLDF); ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to report it has increased its land position at the Gaspard Property from 3,955 hectares to 7,969 hectares. The Gaspard Property is in the Clinton Mining District of Central British Columbia near Spences Bridge. The Property covers similar geology to the Spences Bridge Gold Belt (the "SBGB") that hosts Westhaven Gold Corp.'s (WHN) Shovelnose gold project and the Blackdome Zone gold-silver deposit owned by Tempus Resources (TMR). Year-round, all-season roads with a good network of active logging roads provide excellent access (Figure 1

Figure 1. Location of the Gaspard Property within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt.

On, February 3rd ,2022, Falcon announced results from heavy mineral concentrates from three creek drainages grading 0.236 g/t Au, 1.097 g/t Au and 0.525 g/t Au. The stream sediment samples were collected over 3km southeast of previous and historical anomalous stream samples taken in 1990 from 4 parallel drainage patterns. The total apparent length of a gold anomaly that would potentially support an extensive drainage system at Gaspard is now 5km in length.

Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer commented, "We now have evidence that 6 separate drainage systems exist over a 5km strike length. The results from the heavy mineral concentrates combined with the 4 parallel drainage patterns further validate our thesis. The geology and host rock shares many characteristics to Westhaven's and Blackdome's deposits. We now control over 7,969 hectares in one of the last key areas in the Spences Bridge Camp known for low-sulfidation high grade."

Figure 2. Regional geological and structural setting of the Gaspard Gold Project.

The SBGB forms a northwest trending belt of Cretaceous-aged, volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks 430km long and up to 24km wide extending in central BC (Figure 2). The relatively underexplored volcanic rocks are highly prospective for low-sulphidation epithermal gold mineralization. Recent drilling on the Shovelnose Gold Project by Westhaven Gold Corp. reported 614 g/t Au and 2,070 g/t Ag over 0.45m within 41.55m of 8.17 g/t Au and 34.64 g/t Ag (see press Westhaven press release dated June 1, 2021). The Blackdome Zone located 26km to the south was a former mine having produced 225,000 of gold at an average grade of 20 g/t Au. Current 43-101 compliant resources completed by SRK in 2010 report 144,500 tonnes Indicated grading 11.29 g/t gold and 50.01 g/t silver, and 90,600 tonnes Inferred grading 8.79 g/t gold and 18.61 g/t silver, Tempus Resources.

Falcon has also elected not to proceed with McCaul Hutchinson option agreement in Northern Ontario.

The Great Burnt Greenstone Belt is prospective for copper and gold, and further hosts the South Pond A and South Pond B copper-gold zones, and the End Zone copper prospect along a 14 km mineralized corridor. The mineralized corridor occurs along a conductive trend, and this conductive trend continues into Falcon's Great Burnt Copper Property (see right-hand-side image in Figure 2). The presence of mineral occurrences within ground adjacent to Falcon's Great Burnt Copper Property cannot be used as an indication of mineralization within Falcon's property itself.

Copper Price Update: Q2 2024 in Review

The second quarter of 2024 saw copper prices surge on the London Metals Exchange (LME) on the back of supply bottlenecks and elevated demand, particularly from energy sectors.

Copper markets saw momentum from the first quarter with prices on April 3 sitting at US$8,728 per metric ton, but supply and demand dynamics provided critical support for the base metal and by the end of the month, the price had climbed to US$9,973.50.

With an improving macroeconomic environment in the United States increasing the likelihood of a rate cut and continued cuts at Chinese refiners in May, the copper price encountered a perfect storm that helped the metal set a record high on the LME of US$11,104.50 per metric ton on May 20, and it hit an even higher price on the COMEX of US$5.20 per pound, or US$11,464 per metric ton, the same day.

Seismic Disruptions Could Cost Copper and Rhenium Industries Billions, USGS Study Shows

Astudy published by the US Geological Survey shows that earthquakes can have a "substantial" impact on mining, smelting and refining operations, creating lasting impacts for the global economy and supply chains.

Focusing on copper and rhenium, a silver-gray transition metal, the study aims to quantify the risks that earthquakes pose to supply — a variable that has not previously been systematically categorized.
