High Grade Gold Assays Returned from Prospect Sampling at Gold Star Project, New South Wales

High Grade Gold Assays Returned from Prospect Sampling at Gold Star Project, New South Wales

RooGold Inc. ("RooGold" or the "Issuer

RooGold ispleased to report that it has received high-grade gold assays from the first pass prospect sampling at its 100% held Gold Star project (EL 9215) located within the New England Orogenic Terrain in New South Wales, Australia.

Highlights - Gold Star EL 9215

  • Rock chip sampling at Golden Star and Golden Bar Historic Gold mines, returned assays up to 23.1 g/t Au confirming high grade gold mineralization.
  • Mapping and sampling of gold-bearing quartz veins in historical workings returned assay results of 9.41 g/t Au and 6.38 g/t Au.
  • Little to no exploration has been undertaken in modern times beyond Golden Star and Golden Bar with numerous additional high grade, past producing prospects identified along a 10 km strike to the south to be sampled upon grant of access.
  • The localization of high-grade gold in quartz veins confirms the structurally controlled nature of mineralization and supports an orogenic exploration model.

Carlos Espinosa, President & Chief Executive Officer of RooGold commented, "The prospect sampling at our Gold Star Project has returned very high-grade gold assays from the historical workings at Golden Bar and Golden Star prospects. These results confirm the potential for significant gold mineralization. We have identified numerous other highly prospective gold targets within this tenement and our field team is looking to sample as soon as surface access is available."

Rock Sampling

A total of 65 rock samples were collected in and around the Golden Bar and Golden Star prospects that consist of two NW striking quartz vein systems located approximately 200 meters apart. The highest assay came from float near the historical mine workings returning significantly high grade of 23.1 g/t Au (R00391) from a smokey quartz vein containing mudstone margins and fragments. Two other high-grade samples were returned from smokey quartz veins containing sulfide stringers of pyrite and arsenopyrite in the workings, including assays grading 9.41 g/t Au (R00389) and 6.38 g/t Au (R00379). Additional lower grade, but still significant, assays were reported from the workings, grading 1.63 g/t Au each (R00384 and R00385), see Table 1.

The localization of high grade gold in quartz veins confirms the structurally-controlled nature of mineralization and supports an orogenic model.

Anomalous gold was assayed in several other samples from the prospects, including 11 samples grading in the range of 0.1 g/t Au - 1.0 g/t Au and 14 samples grading in the range of 0.01 g/t Au - 0.10 g/t Au. The remaining 35 samples returned assays lower than the detection limit of less than 0.01 g/t Au.

Other high-grade prospects along a 10 km strike to the south are yet to be sampled, including the Comet and Bull targets, where reports from historic mine workings record an average grade of 36.6 g/t Au.

Gold Star Project

The Gold Star Project (EL 9215) is located approximately 20 km south of Walcha in the Southern New England region of NSW. Walcha was the highest producing gold field in its region. The discovery of the first payable gold at Golden Star took place in 1870. In 1872 and 1873 additional reefs were found and a small-scale "rush" developed. Historical newspaper extracts at the time report spectacular grades in the area between 445 g/t Au and 840 g/t Au. However, the rush was short lived, the workings were filled in and Golden Star received little exploration since.

To this day, Golden Star remains poorly explored despite widespread historical mining activity. Limited drilling by Balmoral Resources in 1987 (seven holes totaling 199 m) and Tellus Resources in 2014 (eight holes totaling 1,327 m) focused on the immediate area around the Gold Star workings. Returning positive initial drilling results of 1.0 m grading 6.46 g/t Au and 12.0 m grading 0.67 g/t Au, respectively. No drilling or formal modern exploration has been conducted outside of the immediate Gold Star mine area.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) and Assay Procedures

A minimum of 3 kg of material per rock chip sample was collected in sealed calico bags by the RooGold field team. Five calico bags containing rock chips were placed in polyweave bags, each one of which was zip-tied to ensure security. The polyweave bags were transported to ALS Orange, Australia for assay testing.

ALS is independent of RooGold and is certified to international quality standards through ISO/IEC 17025:2017, including ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 9002 specifications. At ALS, the rock chips underwent coarse crushing before fine crushing to 70% less than 2mm, then riffle split off 1 kg, followed by a pulverise split to better than 85% passing

White Gold Corp. Identifies Multiple Prospective IP Chargeability Anomalies on Two Large Multi-Element Porphyry Targets in Close Proximity to the Casino Copper-Gold Porphyry Deposit, Yukon, Canada

White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W ) (the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Bridget and Isaac porphyry targets located on the Pedlar and Hayes properties, respectively. Exploration work completed during 2023 included Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability and resistivity survey lines and hyperspectral analysis on 2022 prosecting rock samples. All data collected thus far on these large early-stage targets continue to support a porphyry deposit model.

The Pedlar and Hayes properties are situated in the southern part of the Company's 315,000 hectare (3,150 km 2 ) land package in the White Gold District, west-central Yukon (Figure 1). Western Copper and Gold Corporation's Casino copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry deposit (Measured & Indicated Resources of 7.6 Blb copper and 14.5 Moz gold and Inferred Resources of 3.3 Blb copper and 6.6 Moz gold) sits approximately 30 km southwest and 40 km west of the Bridget and Isaac targets respectively. Casino is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold projects in Canada, and since 2021 has seen strategic investments by major partners including Rio Tinto Canada Inc. and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. The Pedlar and Hayes properties are also located 40 km and 72 km southeast, respectively, of the Company's flagship White Gold project which contains an estimated 1,152,900 ounces of gold in Indicated Resources and 942,400 ounces of gold in Inferred Resources ( 1) .

Warriedar Resources Managing Director Amanda Buckingham.

Warriedar Resources Exec Shares "Recipe for Success" at Golden Range Project

In mid-March, Warriedar Resources (ASX:WA8) reported the intersection of significant intervals of gold mineralisation at the Ricciardo deposit within its Golden Range project in Western Australia.

Managing Director Amanda Buckingham shared the company’s plan to move the project forward with a three-fold strategy that includes finding more gold at Ricciardo, stepping out at the Golden Corridor and looking for additional resources.

“We will drill our main resource deposit called Ricciardo and then we will move out,” she said. "We have six deposits in what we are calling the Golden Corridor ... So we're (then) going to step out and drill into and below the resources in that corridor. And then the third important ingredient to our recipe for success is that we own 70 kilometres of the main belt, and we will go out looking for additional gold deposits along that main shear.
