Gold Mountain Encounters High-Grade Gold Intercepts in Down Dip Drill Program

Gold Mountain Mining Corp. ("Gold Mountain" or the "Company") (TSX.V:GMTN)(FRA:5XFA) is pleased to announce gold results from the Company's down-dip portion of its Phase 1 drill program at its 100% owned Elk Gold Project located near Merritt, BC. These high-grade assay results continue to expand known veins down dip indicating a clear path growth of the project


Highlights:

  • Assay results from down-dip drilling confirm the presence of high-grade vein extensions:
    • SND20-029 intercepted 1.42m averaging 37.00 g/t Au (including 0.42m averaging 124.00 g/t Au)
    • SND20-032 intercepted 1.22m averaging 16.23 g/t Au (including 0.30m averaging 62.20 g/t Au)
    • SND20-032 intercepted 1.30m averaging 7.95 g/t Au (including 0.30m averaging 31.30 g/t Au)
  • The assay results of the down-dip drilling continue to demonstrate the potential to expand the current resource at depth.
  • 100% of all drill holes have encountered significant mineralized intercepts.

Gold Mountain's CEO, Kevin Smith, commented: "We're thrilled to be sharing these results with the market further confirming our thesis that the veins at the Elk are getting higher grade the deeper we chase them." Kevin Smith further discusses, "All 36 drill holes for which assays have been received to date have encountered significant gold vein intercepts, a testament to our project's scalability. Gold Mountain is confidently going to continue to chase these high-grade veins throughout the property with the focus of adding ounces to our resource and making Elk Gold BC's next million-ounce producing mine."

Gold Mountain's technical advisor, Quinton Hennigh, commented: "The Elk Gold Project hosts one of the most predictable vein systems I have seen. Continuity is excellent, and these holes indicate this characteristic persists at depth. Gold Mountain has a well-designed drill program to exploit this predictability, thus allowing high confidence in the ability to progressively grow the deposit."

Phase 1 - Drill Program Update

Assay Results for the Down Dip Drilling Targeting the 2500 and 1300 Veins

The Company received assay results for the nine (9) holes totaling approximately 2,850m of down-dip drilling that targeted the 1300 and 2500 veins. The assay results show the continuity of the two veins below the current resource area. The results show robust grades and thickness at depth which the Company anticipates will be incorporated into an updated resource estimate.

Mother Shoot

In 1992 previous operators mined a 2,040 tonne bulk sample grading 137g/t Au from a portion of the 1300 vein they named the "Mother Shoot". A focal point and objective for the Company in it's Phase 1 drill program was to revisit this known, high-grade zone and extend the vein associated with the Mother Shoot at depth. The initial assay results support the Company's theory that the Mother Shoot zone extends at depth and maintains its high grade under the resource constraining pit-shell.

Drilling complete on Phase 1

The Company has now completed the drilling portion of the Phase 1 exploration program which consisted of 43 drill holes totaling 8,739m of drilling. The Company has received assay results for 36 of those holes, all of which struck gold mineralization. Five of the holes yet to be assayed drilled the 2600 and 2700 veins located in the resource pit shell while the remaining two holes are from geotechnical drilling.

Transitioning to Phase 2

Gold Mountain is now transitioning to its Phase 2 exploration program which will consist of both drilling and re-logging of historic core. Based on the predictability of the deposit confirmed by the Phase 1 drill program and initial core re-logging data, the Company is bullish that the Phase 2 exploration program will result in an increase to the resource estimate. To kick off Phase 2, HEG and Associates is focusing on relogging historic core, digitizing historic data and updating the geological interpretation. The Company anticipates the re-logging to continue throughout the spring and summer with drilling to commence in May.

Top 7 ASX Gold ETFs in 2025

The price of gold reached record highs in 2025, driven by global economic uncertainty stemming from shifting US trade policy and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

For many investors, gold is a tool for diversification. The precious metal is known for its ability to act as a safe haven and hence operates as a protective option when building a balanced portfolio.

Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) give investors a relatively easy way to get exposure to physical gold without having to worry about the extra hassle of buying and storing the metal — not to mention insuring it. Gold ETFs can also track a basket of gold-focused stocks, allowing investors to spread risk instead of betting on individual companies.
