Gold Mountain Hits Additional High-Grade Intercepts in its Phase 2 Drill Program

Gold Mountain Mining Corp. ("Gold Mountain" or the "Company") (TSX.V:GMTN)(OTCQB:GMTNF)(FRA:5XFA) is pleased to announce assay results from its Phase 2 drill program at the Elk Gold Project located near Merritt, BC. The high-grade assay results continue to extend the Siwash North zone's established mineralization down-dip and indicate clear vein continuity at depth near the project's open pits


Highlights:

  • Drilling Highlights Include:
    • 1.30m grading 10.59 g/t Au including 0.30m of 45.60 g/t Au
    • 1.10m grading 17.54 g/t Au including 0.50m of 31.10 g/t Au
    • 0.90m grading 14.59 g/t Au including 0.30m of 21.30 g/t Au
    • 1.40m grading 5.85 g/t Au including 0.40m of 19.30 g/t Au
  • Gold Mountain's Phase 2 drill program continues to methodically extend the Elk's shallow, open-pit amenable vein systems as well as its deeper, high-grade mineralization in the Siwash North Zone.
  • Phase 2 encapsulated the exploration of the Lake, South and Elusive zones, 3 of the other 9 drill tested mineralized zones on the property.
  • Based on the strong intercepts the Company struck early on in the program, Gold Mountain increased the total Phase 2 meterage by 30% from 10,000m to 13,000m.

"In Phase 1 we showed how impactful a well-planned and methodical drill program can be, as we increased our resource by 45% off an 8,700m program. Phase 2 continues this strategy of infilling and stepping out from the project's well-established mineralization and we're confident that assay results like these highlight intercepts will have a strong impact on our updated resource estimate due this fall" said Kevin Smith, CEO and Director of Gold Mountain. "Now that the mine is transitioning to commercial production, Gold Mountain's focus is to scale our resource through proceeds of mining and uphold our commitment of getting the Elk past a million ounces."

Phase 2 Drilling Program

Gold Mountain and its exploration contractor HEG & Associates ("HEG") followed the success of its Phase 1 drill program by continuing to perform infill and step-out drilling on its well-established vein systems in Siwash North. The highlight assays were intercepted along the 1300, 2600 and 2700 veins which extend to the west and are located in close proximity of the project's historical open pits.

The highlighted intercepts continue to demonstrate strong gold grades and lateral extensions in all three vein systems. By hitting significant mineralization, the Company continues to expand its vein models which are anticipated to add additional ounces to its planned resource estimate update this fall.

Due to the initial mineralization the Company intercepted in Siwash North, Gold Mountain added an additional 3,000 m of drilling to its Phase 2 exploration program, taking Phase 2's total drill meterage to 13,000 m.

In addition to Siwash North drilling, the Company explored an additional 3 mineralized satellite zones at the Elk Gold project during its Phase 2 program which include the Lake Zone, South Zone and the highly-prospective Elusive Zone. The Company expects to release assay results from these zones shortly.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Price Reacts to Inflation Data, Trump Makes Big Permitting Promise

Lawrence Lepard: "Big Print" Coming — Fully Expect US$5,000 Gold, US$200,000 Bitcoin

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Lawrence Lepard, managing director at EMA, voiced his thoughts on the outlook for gold and Bitcoin as the debt doom loop intensifies in the US.

"I call it a doom loop — it's a vicious circle in the wrong direction, which I believe will ultimately lead to the government having to say, 'Okay, this isn't going to work. We are going to institute yield curve control or QE, or we're going to buy the bonds,'" he explained on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Lepard believes it's important to hold both gold and Bitcoin, noting that the only wrong allocation is zero.

Chris Temple: Gold's Next Leg Higher, Plus Uranium and Natural Gas in 2025

Chris Temple, founder, editor and publisher of the National Investor, outlined the main factors he sees impacting the gold price heading into 2025, saying the yellow metal will undoubtedly move higher.

In his view, its rise will come as market participants realize how many problems the US economy is facing.

"I think that once that reality sets in, gold will get its next big lease on life and the stock market is going to bog down. I think we're going to see a lot of rotation in the market that will start to favor real assets and real value — away from everybody chasing the same relative handful of stocks as we've seen," Temple explained.

WGC: Gold to Face Complex Drivers in 2025, Price Likely to Cool After Record-Breaking Year

The World Gold Council (WGC) has released its 2025 gold outlook, highlighting various macroeconomic factors, geopolitical risks and central bank activity as pivotal forces influencing demand and prices.

While 2024 saw gold achieve a stellar performance with a 28 percent annual increase, the outlook for 2025 is characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges stemming from both global and regional developments.

The yellow metal has benefited from its historical role as a hedge against uncertainty, but the WGC forecasts that its performance next year will depend on other key variables as well.

Increased M&A Activity a Win-Win for Gold Sector, Brightstar Resources Exec Says

Following the completion of its acquisition of Alto Metals, Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) plans to conduct 50,000 metres of reverse-circulation and diamond drilling, beginning next year, at Alto Metals' approximately 900 square kilometre Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Brightstar Managing Director Alex Rovira outlined the next steps for merging Alto Metals with Brightstar’s assets and the strategy for moving forward.

“From an exploration perspective … it's really focusing on the Sandstone package. We will do near-mine brownfields exploration at our Menzies and Laverton gold projects. And really, the aspiration there is to take a number of those mines toward development decisions,” he said.
