Moneta Continues to Expand Gold Mineralization at Windjammer Central, Tower Gold Project

Moneta Continues to Expand Gold Mineralization at Windjammer Central, Tower Gold Project

Moneta Gold Inc. (TSX: ME) (OTCQX: MEAUF) (XETRA: MOP) ("Moneta") is pleased to announce the final assay results from twelve (12) previously partially announced and six (6) new drill holes at Windjammer Central, from the Golden Highway area of the Tower Gold project, located 100 kilometres ("km") east of Timmins, Ontario. The drilling was part of the 20202021 72,500 metre ("m") program in 130 drill holes designed to test extensions of the current mineral resource estimate of 4.0 million ("M") ounces indicated gold and 4.4M ounces inferred gold (see February 24, 2021 press release) on the Tower Gold project. Additional holes and assays from this drill program remain pending.

This drilling successfully intersected gold mineralization over a strike length of 1,500 m and a width of 300 m to the north of the Windjammer South open pit gold resource within the Windjammer Central area. Today's results confirm significant extensions of gold mineralization to the current gold resource at Windjammer South both within and as extensions to the current economic open pit.

Highlights from the drilling include:

  • MGH21-242 intersected 279.50 m @ 0.55 grams per tonne "g/t" gold "Au", including 68.00 m @ 0.96 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 5.66 g/t Au and 1.00 m @ 5.84 g/t Au, and 23.30 m @ 1.27 g/t Au including 1.00 m @ 18.10 g/t Au
  • MGH21-259 intersected 167.00 m @ 0.79 g/t Au, including 72.10 m @ 1.07 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 5.57 g/t Au and 1.00 m @ 4.74 g/t Au
  • MGH21-259 intersected 60.00 m @ 1.03 g/t Au, including 1.10 m @ 5.97 g/t Au, and 12.30 m @ 2.57 g/t Au, including 3.00 m @ 8.26 g/t Au, including 1.50 m @ 15.30 g/t Au
  • MGH21-263 intersected 126.00 m @ 0.63 g/t Au, including 56.00 m @ 1.09 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 6.79 g/t Au
  • MGH21-263 intersected 116.00 m @ 0.60 g/t Au, including 42.00 m @ 0.82 g/t Au, including 22.00 m @ 1.10 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 3.47 g/t Au
  • MGH21-267 intersected 33.00 m @ 0.66 g/t Au, including 12.00 m @ 1.16 g/t Au, including 4.00 m @ 2.22 g/t Au
  • MGH21-264 intersected 63.25 m @ 0.53 g/t Au, including 14.00 m @ 0.83 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 1.14 g/t Au
  • MGH21-242 intersected 50.90 m @ 0.50 g/t Au, including 3.00 m @ 1.92 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 4.00 g/t Au

Gary O'Connor, Moneta's Chief Executive Officer commented, "These latest drill results, in an untested area of Windjammer Central, have confirmed significant gold mineralization in an area not previously drill tested and beyond the current gold resources and this discovery has the potential to fundamentally increase the economics of the open pit. The Windjammer Central exploration drilling program was testing for gold mineralization over a large area located within the current economic open pit at Windjammer South, north of the regional Banded Iron Formation. This discovery has the potential to significantly improve the economics of the Windjammer open pit. We look forward to releasing the remaining outstanding drill results when they become available and updating the mineral resource estimate for the Tower Gold project in the first half of 2022."

The latest assay results from the Windjammer Central resource expansion drill program include the remaining assay results from twelve (12) previously partially announced drill holes, and six (6) new drill holes for a total of 2,235.0 m. The drill program was conducted to test a large area to the north of the Windjammer South resource, within the economic open pit in an area with little historical drilling. The Windjammer South open pit gold deposit currently hosts 1.10 Moz gold at a grade of 0.84 g/t gold in indicated resources and 1.03 Moz at a grade of 1.10 g/t gold in the inferred category at a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold (see December 10, 2020 press release). Full assays from an additional 20 drill holes for 8,202 m from the 55 and Garrcon areas from the drill program remain pending.

Discussion of Drill Results
Drilling was targeting Timiskaming age clastic sediment hosted gold mineralized stacked quartz veins north of the Windjammer South resource in the Windjammer Central area located immediately north of the regional Banded Iron Formation "A" ("BIF A") unit and south of previous drilling. The drilling was testing a large area within the Windjammer economic open pit in an area not previously drill tested and not currently in any resource category. The Windjammer South deposit occurs as the largest open pit gold resource of the Tower Gold project. Previous results from the first drill holes from the Windjammer Central area were released in the January 26, 2022 press release ME PR-03/2022 (see January 26, 2022 press release) and returned the following significant results;

  • MGH21-244 intersected 162.65 m @ 0.64 g/t Au, including 30.00 m @ 0.91 g/t Au, 6.00 m @ 1.58 g/t Au, and 3.00 m @ 2.19 g/t Au
  • MGH21-263 intersected 108.00 m @ 0.70 g/t Au, including 18.00 m @ 1.55 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 6.79 g/t Au
  • MGH21-259 intersected 96.00 m @ 0.64 g/t Au, including 23.15 m @ 1.09 g/t Au, including 3.00 m @ 2.96 g/t Au
  • MGH21-237 intersected 5.00 m @ 3.01 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 14.80 g/t Au
  • MGH21-237 intersected 105.00 m @ 0.42 g/t Au, including 87.00 m @ 0.50 g/t Au
  • MGH21-263 intersected 46.00 m @ 0.44 g/t Au, including 22.00 m @ 0.53 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 1.15 g/t Au
  • MGH21-244 intersected 37.00 m @ 0.47 g/t Au, including 12.00 m @ 0.94 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 2.03 g/t Au and 2.00 m @ 2.02 g/t Au

Drill results from the current program at Windjammer Central confirmed the occurrence of generally shallow west dipping stacked quartz vein sets and associated ankerite-albite-sericite-pyrite alteration haloes in large step-outs beyond the current gold resource and south of previous drilling at Windjammer Central. The latest assay results confirmed gold mineralization over an area 1,500 m long, 300 m wide, and down to depths of over 400 m.

Moneta Intersects Significant Gold Mineralization in Step-out Drilling at Garrcon, Tower Gold Project

Moneta Gold Inc. (TSX: ME) (OTCQX: MEAUF) (XETRA: MOP) ("Moneta") is pleased to announce the assay results from ten (10) drill holes at Garrcon, from the Garrison area of the Tower Gold project, located 100 kilometres ("km") east of Timmins, Ontario. The drilling was part of the 20202021 72,500 metre ("m") program in 130 drill holes designed to test extensions of the current mineral resource estimate of 4.0 million ("M") ounces indicated gold and 4.4M ounces inferred gold (see February 24, 2021 press release) on the Tower Gold project. These results represent the final assays from this drill program.

Today's results, testing both the open pit and underground resource expansion potential at Garrcon, have confirmed significant gold mineralization over a strike length of 750 m and width of 500 m in step-out drilling beyond the current resource and within an area with significant historical gold mineralization not currently in any resource category.

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.
