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

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

Moneta Gold Inc. (TSX: ME) (OTCQX: MEAUF) (XETRA: MOP) ("Moneta") is pleased to announce the final assay results of eleven (11) previously announced and four (4) new drill holes, testing the resource expansion potential of the Windjammer South mineral resource, located within the Golden Highway area of the Tower Gold project. The drilling is 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, located 100 kilometres ("km") east of Timmins, Ontario. Additional holes and assays from other zones in this drill program remain pending.

Drilling successfully intersected wide zones of gold mineralization on the extensions of the Windjammer South gold deposit within and as extensions to the current economic open pit at Windjammer South. Drilling was testing an area over a strike length of 1,000 m and a width of 400 m.

Highlights from the drill results include:

  • MWJ11-36x intersected 2.00 m @ 27.05 grams per tonne "g/t" gold "Au", including 1.00 m @ 53.90 g/t Au
  • MGH18-105x intersected 62.00 m @ 0.58 g/t Au, including 12.00 m @ 1.54 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 6.34 g/t Au
  • MGH21-240 intersected 53.70 m @ 0.52 g/t Au, including 8.00 m @ 1.46 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 2.86 g/t Au
  • MGH21-250 intersected 22.35 m @ 0.80 g/t Au, including 2.40 m @ 4.31 g/t Au, including 1.40 m @ 5.63 g/t Au
  • MGH18-105x intersected 17.00 m @ 0.91 g/t Au, including 5.00 m @ 1.86 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 3.27 g/t Au
  • MGH21-236 intersected 4.50 m @ 3.01 g/t Au, including 0.65 m @ 18.80 g/t Au
  • MGH18-105x intersected 26.00 m @ 0.48 g/t Au, including 1.15 m @ 1.89 g/t Au

Gary O'Connor, Moneta's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The latest drill results from Windjammer South have confirmed gold mineralization in large step outs to the current gold resource, both within the current Windjammer South economic open pit and as extensions to mineralization beyond the open pit. Importantly, these extensions have the potential to significantly improve the economics in areas within the current open pits outside of the current mineral resources. 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 South resource expansion drill program include the final assay results from eleven (11) previously partially released drill holes, as well as full assay results from an additional four (4) new drill holes for 1,897.0 m, including one drill hole extension (MGH18-105x). The drill program was conducted to test a large area to the south of the Windjammer South deposits within and as extensions to 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 31 drill holes for 13,002 m from the drill program remain pending.

Intercepts are calculated using a 0.20 g/t Au cut-off, a maximum of 3m internal dilution and no top cap applied. Drill intercepts are not true widths, are reported as drill widths, and are estimated to be 80% to 95% of true width.

Discussion of Drill Results

Drilling was targeting Timiskaming age clastic sediment hosted gold mineralized stacked quartz veins in the Windjammer South area located south of the regional Banded Iron Formation "A" ("BIF A") unit. The drilling was testing a large area within the economic open pit occurring beyond the current Windjammer South gold resource in areas not previously drill tested. The Windjammer South area occurs as the largest open pit gold resource within the Golden Highway portion of the Tower Gold project.

Drill results from the current program at Windjammer South confirmed the occurrence of shallow west dipping stacked quartz veins sets and associated ankerite-albite-sericite-pyrite alteration haloes in large step-outs beyond the current gold resource. The latest assay results confirmed gold mineralization over an area 1,000 m long, 400 m wide, and down to depths of up to 500 m. Additional results from the Windjammer Central open pit infill drilling program north of the BIF A unit are pending, as are drill results for the open pit expansion drilling to the east in the Halfway area.

Previous partial assay results from fourteen (14) drill holes for a total of 6,974.0 m, drilled as part of the current resource expansion drill program at Windjammer South were released in December 2021 (see December 16, 2021 press release) and returned the following drill highlights;

  • MGH21-227 intersected 18.40 m @ 2.22 g/t Au, including 7.00 m @ 2.71 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 9.49 g/t Au
  • MWJ11-48x intersected 88.55 m @ 0.61 g/t Au, including 25.50 m @ 1.05 g/t Au, including 10.50 m @ 1.64 g/t Au, including 4.50 m @ 2.40 g/t Au
  • MGH21-227 intersected 36.00 m @ 0.83 g/t Au, including 3.00 @ 7.09 g/t Au, including 1.50 m @ 13.50 g/t Au
  • MGH19-124x intersected 9.45 m @ 4.01 g/t Au, including 2.90 m @ 11.87 g/t Au, including 1.00 m @ 19.80 g/t Au
  • MGH21-233 intersected 66.00 m @ 0.62 g/t Au, including 1.50 m @ 2.49 g/t Au
  • MWJ11-48x intersected 42.00 m @ 0.42 g/t Au, including 22.50 m @ 0.89 g/t Au, 13.50 m @ 1.07 g/t Au, including 1.50 m @ 4.16 g/t Au
  • MGH21-240 intersected 47.70 m @ 0.45 g/t Au, including 8.00 m @ 1.46 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 2.86 g/t Au

The extensions to the gold resource at Windjammer South have the potential to significantly improve the economics in areas within the current open pits currently containing no mineral resources.

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.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.

Companies focused on a mix of minerals and resources once again form this week’s top stocks list, including ones searching for gold, rutile, graphite, lithium and oil.

Significant news, including broad mineralisation discoveries and new acquisitions, drove the top performers this week, which you can learn more about in the list below.

Looking at the bigger picture, Australian lithium stocks took a hit this week following the announcement of Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology's (SZSE:300750,HKEX:3750) reported production restart at its Jianxiawo lithium mine in Yichun. Lithium prices and mining companies had previously been lifted in mid-August after the mine was suspended.
