Getchell Gold Corp. Secures Drill Rig and Plans to Commence Drill Program in Early May, 2021, at the Fondaway Canyon Gold Project, Nevada

Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) ("Getchell" or the "Company") a leading Nevada focused Gold and Copper exploration company is pleased to announce that it has secured a drill rig for early May 2021 to commence a Phase One 4,000 metre drill program at the Company's flagship Fondaway Canyon Gold Project in Nevada ("Fondaway" or "Project").

"We are extremely eager to return to Fondaway Canyon with the intention of expanding our new, near surface, gold zones discovered during the 2020 drill program," stated Mike Sieb, President, Getchell Gold Corp. "Having access to a dedicated drill rig ensures we can focus on advancing Fondaway Canyon throughout 2021."

Fondaway Canyon Gold Project

Getchell Gold completed a very successful 6-hole 1,995 metre drill program at Fondaway Canyon in late 2020. The results released in January and February 2021 (see Company news releases dated January 27 and February 10, 2021) from the drilling within the Central Area demonstrated:

  • the identification of thick zones of gold mineralization interpreted as a down dip continuation of surface mineralization; and
  • the prevalence of high-grade mineralized structures with notable widths within the overall mineralizing system.

The Company has contracted First Drilling to provide a coring rig for the commencement of drilling at Fondaway Canyon in early May 2021.

The Company is in the planning and preparation stage, and will release additional details on the 2021 drill program when they become formalized.

Star Copper-Gold-Silver Project Update

A drill program is planned for the first half of 2021 at the Star Copper-Gold-Silver Project, located 60 km north of Fondaway Canyon. The geophysical survey results completed at the end of 2020 have been modelled and the Company's technical team is presently finalizing the drill plan for permitting. Once the plans and timing of the 2021 drill program at Star are formalized, the Company will release further details on the 2021 exploration program at Star.

Scott Frostad, P.Geo., V.P. Exploration, is the Qualified Person (as defined in NI 43-101) who reviewed and approved the content and scientific and technical information in the news release.

Avrupa Minerals CEO Paul Kuhn

Avrupa Minerals CEO Eyes Joint Ventures for VMS Projects in Europe

Avrupa Minerals (TSXV:AVU,OTC Pink:AVPMF,FWB:8AM) has achieved exploration milestones at the fully funded Alvalade copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulfide project in Portugal and the Slivova gold project in Kosovo. CEO Paul Kuhn is keen to look for potential joint ventures to advance the company's projects.

“The idea is that we start the early phases of the project," he said. "We do the early exploration and hopefully discovery, which we've done at Slivova in Kosovo and the Sesmarias (target) in Portugal, and get them to a point where they are 'venturable.'”

Joint ventures, according to Kuhn, work better by allowing Avrupa and its partners to work together and resolve any problems related to exploration.

World Copper CEO Gordon Neal

New World Copper CEO Shares Plans to Advance Zonia Copper Project to Production

World Copper’s (TSXV:WCU) newly appointed CEO Gordon Neal wants to focus on advancing the Zonia copper oxide project in Arizona, US, to the development stage and transforming World Copper into a US-centric copper company.

“The US government, the Department of Energy, has determined that copper is a critical metal. And so there’s lots of attention and funds available for companies that have a US-domiciled project,” he said.

World Copper’s Zonia project has undergone extensive historical exploration and mine development planning, with a historical 2018 preliminary economic assessment and 2017 mineral resource estimate that show excellent economics, a mine life of 8.6 years and an average annual production rate of 49.1 million pounds.

 Western Copper and Gold President Dr. Paul West-Sells and CEO Sandeep Singh

Casino Project’s Compelling Attributes Attract "Phenomenal" Investments, WRN Exec Says

Western Copper and Gold’s (TSX:WRN,NYSEAMERICAN:WRN) Casino project is a compelling asset loaded with reserves that could last 27 years, one of the factors that sealed joint ventures with Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO,ASX:RIO,LSE:RIO) and Mitsubishi Materials (TSE:5711), according to the company’s CEO, Sandeep Singh.

“Both (Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi) are tremendous partners. They lend a significant amount of technical expertise to the asset — things that a junior company could not replicate on its own even if it had the resources to do it,” he said.

“It's not just the scale … But also kind of the other factors going for it — the high-grade core, that it's at surface with next to no strip, the clean metallurgy, the jurisdiction it's in, you know, the state it's in. There's a lot of positive attributes. And it's not a surprise to us that it's attracted interest from those types of groups,” Singh added.
