Generic Gold Announces 1,500 m Drill Program Targeting High Priority EM Plates on Belvais Project, Québec

Generic Gold Announces 1,500 m Drill Program Targeting High Priority EM Plates on Belvais Project, Québec

Generic Gold Corp. (CSE: GGC) (FSE: 1WD) (OTCQB: GGCPF) ("Generic Gold" or "Generic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has obtained the required permits for a new 1,500-metre diamond drill program on the Belvais Project, located in the northwestern region of Québec's Abitibi greenstone belt. The program is to follow up on high-priority EM (electromagnetic) targets that were discovered in the recently completed BHEM (borehole electromagnetics) program. The strongest and highest priority of these BHEM anomalies lies only 25m under surface and is approximately 1.2km south of Starr Peak Mining's recent drilling on their Normetmar VMS deposit. Figure 1 demonstrates three of the planned diamond holes (yellow collars) with their associated EM plates (orange) that are being targeted. The drill rig is set to mobilize mid-week and begin drilling immediately after.

The BHEM technique has seen great success in the immediate area with neighbouring Starr Peak Mining ( TSXV: STE), which has successfully converted its BHEM anomalies into VMS targets, and was their main discovery tool at the NewMétal property (see Starr Peak Press Release dated February 23, 2021), which borders Generic's, Belvais property.

The Chicobi belt has seen a renewed exploration focus over recent years, largely due to numerous high-grade gold discoveries by bordering Amex Exploration (TSX-V: AMX). The area is historically very underexplored for gold and has the potential to become another major gold producing belt of the Abitibi, all in the while remaining highly prosperous for further VMS discoveries. Neighbouring Amex Exploration has been recently named Exploration Company of the Year at Mines and Money London, highlighting the quality of assets in the immediate area.

As shown in Figure 2, the Belvais project lies directly south-east of Amex Exploration's Perron Project, which recently announced a new VMS discovery (the QF Zone) along the Normétal Mine Sequence (see Amex Press Release dated August 9, 2021), and is also directly east and south-east of Starr Peak's NewMétal project, which announced high-grade VMS mineralization on their Normetmar target (see Starr Peak Press Release dated May 4, 2021). Both of these new discoveries occur along the Normétal Fault which is of particular significance for Generic Gold, as the Company holds over 20 km of the Normétal Fault on its Belvais claims and is one of the largest landholders in the area with 12,563 hectares.

Generic Gold Announces Multiple New BHEM Targets and Discusses Phase 2 Drilling Results on Belvais Project, Québec

Generic Gold Corp. (CSE: GGC) (FSE: 1WD) (OCTQB: GGCPF) ("Generic Gold" or "Generic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its recently completed BHEM (borehole electromagnetic) geophysical program has uncovered multiple strong anomalies across the Belvais Project, located in the northwestern region of Québec's Abitibi greenstone belt. Eight (8) anomalies in total have been modelled, with four (4) having a moderate to strong signal response (See Table 1). The strongest and highest priority of these BHEM anomalies lies only 25m under surface and is approximately 1.2km south of where Starr Peak Mining is drilling on their Normetmar VMS deposit. The program was completed by geophysical contractor Abitibi Geophysics of Val d'Or, Québec with a secondary expert opinion provided by Marc Boivin, P.Geo. of MB Geosolutions. Generic Gold will now evaluate these prospects for further diamond drilling. Figure 2 presents the suggested follow-up drillholes.

Generic Gold Announces Results of Exploration Program on Its VIP Gold Project, Yukon

Generic Gold Corp. (CSE:GGC) (“Generic Gold” or the “Company”) announces the results of a reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program on its VIP property in Yukon, Canada.

The drill program consisted of 1,090 metres in 11 shallow drillholes testing several multiparameter targets on the property. The majority of the program was focused on an area known as the Redbull Zone, on which the Company has completed several preparatory exploration campaigns including soil sampling, prospecting, geoprobe sampling, and trenching (see Generic Gold press release dated September 21st, 2018). Drilling confirmed the auriferous nature of the structure, with broad zones of anomalous low grade gold mineralization, as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 below. Economic grade mineralization was not encountered during this campaign, although within the mineralized intervals noted below every sample returned elevated gold values. This is indicative of a primary mineralized structure. The next stage of exploration on the target will involve testing laterally along this fault for secondary mineralizing cross-cutting structures or variations in host rocks which may deform in a more brittle fashion and increase the potential for higher gold values elsewhere in the system.

Generic Gold Announces Completion of Drill Program on Its VIP Gold Project, Yukon

Generic Gold Corp. (CSE:GGC) (“Generic Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its recently completed reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program on its VIP property in Yukon, Canada.

President and CEO, Kelly Malcolm commented: “During the first ever drill program on the VIP property, Generic completed 1,090 metres in 11 shallow drillholes testing the Redbull, Monster and Rockstar Zones. I am very excited about the geology and mineralization we’ve encountered during the program. In addition to the expected oxidized mineralization we were targeting which occurred over substantial widths, we have encountered abundant concentrations of unoxidized sulfides and associated favourable alteration further downhole. We are very much looking forward to receiving assay results from the project, which is just 20 kilometres west and on trend from the Coffee Gold project which was purchased by Goldcorp for $520 million in 2016.”

Generic Gold Initiates Work Program Including RC Drilling on Its VIP Gold Project, Yukon

Generic Gold Corp. (CSE:GGC)  is pleased to announce that a drill and field crews have mobilized to the VIP property to initiate a reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling program along with regional generative exploration work.

President and CEO, Kelly Malcolm commented: “We are very excited to begin drilling on the VIP project, which is the first time this property has ever been drill tested. The VIP project has been a high priority since the acquisition of our property portfolio in May of 2017. Since acquisition, we have completed soil sampling, prospecting, mechanical trenching, geoprobe sampling, and geophysical interpretations which have identified several high priority drill targets. The property is proximal and on trend to one of the most advanced and exciting exploration projects in the Yukon, Goldcorp’s Coffee project, and work to date has identified similar geology and mineralization. I look forward to updating the market as our program progresses.”

Zodiac Gold Completes Drill Program at the Alasala Target and Hits Mineralized Zones including 4.05m at 13.92 g/t

Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) ("Zodiac Gold" or the "Company"), a West-African gold exploration company, is pleased to report the results from its diamond drilling program at the Alasala target, including 4.05m at 13.92 gt (including 1.6m at 34.5 gt Au), 7m at 2.23 gt Au (including 1m at 12.65 gt Au) and 4.25m at 0.99 gt Au (including 0.7m at 5.25 gt Au). In addition, channel sampling in the Lion Hill artisanal mining pit during this drill program by Zodiac Gold's geological team returned 6.05m at 9.06 gt Au (including 1m at 46 gt Au and 1m at 7.6 gt Au). The results of drilling confirm that the high grades reported from surface exploration and previous drilling in the oxide zone have strong continuity at depth, with 4.05m at 13.92 gt Au intersected 75m below surface. These zones are believed to be open at depth.
