Outback Applies for Additional Exploration Licence; Yeungroon Property

(CSE   : OZ, OTCQB: OZBKF, FSE: S600)

Outback Goldfields Corp . (the " Company " or "Outback") (CSE: OZ) is pleased to report that it has applied for an additional exploration license, central and contiguous to its Yeungroon property, Victorian Goldfields.

"This newly available Exploration Licence is strategically centered on an eight kilometer corridor along the prospective Avoca Fault system and is contiguous with our existing Yeungroon licenses. This corridor contains numerous historic workings centered on gold-bearing quartz-reefs. These documented gold occurrences are hosted in prospective rocks of the Bendigo zone. Once granted, the new Exploration Licence will be systematically evaluated," commented Chris Donaldson , CEO.

Exploration Licence Application

  • Exploration licence (EL007701) comprises 3,700 hectares centered on the regionally prospective Avoca Fault system.
  • EL007701 covers numerous reef-hosted gold occurrences over a 3 km north-south trend.
  • Once granted, a thorough geological mapping, prospecting and soil sampling program will commence.

Based on a review of all property and regional geological and geophysical data, numerous target areas were defined across the property (see OZ news release dated June 28 th , 2021). Many of these key targets are proximal to- and associated with the Avoca Fault system and associated splays (e.g., Golden Jacket; Figure 1). The area underlying EL0077001 was highlighted as it covers a significant section of the Avoca Fault system with numerous, reef-hosted gold occurrences hosted in Bendigo Zone rocks (Figure 1). Once granted, all occurrences will be systematically evaluated, and the entire Exploration Licence will be the focus of a geological mapping and geochemical sampling program. The application has been registered with the Earth Resources branch of the Victorian state government.

Yeungroon Property

The 698 km 2 Yeungroon property is transected by the north-trending, crustal-scale Avoca fault, which separates the western Stawell zone from the Eastern Bendigo zone. The western side of the Yeungroon property contains the historic Golden Jacket hard-rock reef mine associated with the regional-scale, northwest-trending Golden Jacket fault. Historic mining records indicate the Golden Jacket mine produced quartz-rich ore with grades of up to 250 grams per tonne gold (Bibby and More, 1998) however, the vertical and lateral extent of mineralization has yet to be tested by drilling.

The eastern side of the project is underlain by Ordovician rocks of the Castlemaine group and comprises the northern extent of the Wedderburn Goldfield, where numerous small-scale, historic alluvial and hard-rock mines are located (Figure 1).

Community Engagement

Outback recognises the importance of open and honest community engagement in all our exploration activities.  We approach all our exploration activities in a sustainable manner and ensure our activities comply with the Victorian Code of Practice for Mineral Exploration.  As such, community consultation with local landowners has commenced.

North Bay Resources Announces Discovery of Mass Tonnage Gold Deposit up to 149m  Grading 0.95 g/t Au, Fran Gold Project, British Columbia

North Bay Resources Announces Discovery of Mass Tonnage Gold Deposit up to 149m Grading 0.95 g/t Au, Fran Gold Project, British Columbia

North Bay Resources, Inc. (the " Company " or " North Bay ") (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce analyses and compilation of prior exploration work at the Fran Gold Project has resulted in the discovery of a mass tonnage gold deposit. This includes review of diamond drilling in 2001, 2005, 2006, 2012, and 2018 as well as geochemical, geophysical and 3D modelling data. Past exploration and development, including over 18,000m (55,000ft.) of diamond drilling, has shown very large intercepts of up to 149m (489 feet) of 0.95 gram per ton gold. The deposit area has been identified to be in excess of 1000m x 100m x 300m within a known strike length of 1700m. This represents an exploration potential of 79,500,000 tonnes at a specific gravity of 2.65. At an average grade of 0.8 grams per tonne the current potential is 2M ounces. There is sufficient data to immediately proceed with a NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate . The Fran Gold Project is next to Centerra Gold's (TSX:CG) Mt. Milligan Project, with Reserves of 264Mt grading 0.3 gram per tonne gold and 0.2% copper and proximate to Artemis Gold's (TSXV:ARTG) Blackwater Mine, with Proven and Probable Reserves of 334Mt grading 0.8 grams per tonne gold. Both Mt. Milligan and the Blackwater Mine are two of the largest new mines in North America in the modern era. The Blackwater Mine has a Measured and Indicated Resource in excess of 10M ounces of gold.
