Precipitate's Magnetic 3D Inversion Refines Drill Targets at Copey Hill Zone, Ponton Project, Dominican Republic

Precipitate Gold Corp. (TSXV: PRG) (OTCQB: PREIF) (the "Company" or "Precipitate") is pleased to announce results and interpretation of the geophysical magnetic 3D inversion study conducted on the highly prospective Copey Hill epithermal gold target of the Company's 100% owned Ponton Project in the Dominican Republic. Highlight results from the survey and interpretation are as follows:

  • Identification of numerous large and strong magnetic-low 3D anomalies (near surface and concealed at depth) possibly attributed to magnetite destruction alteration, a common alteration/geophysical feature in gold epithermal systems;

  • Numerous discreet and variably linear magnetic-low anomalies aligned with gold enriched surface soil-rock samples and silica-argillic clay alteration zones. This correlation is particularly apparent at the South Anomaly where surface rock samples have reported highlight values of 53.0 g/t gold and 17.0 g/t gold*;

  • Substantial magnetic-low at South Zone extends more than 200 metres below surface, supporting the potential for a significant sized system; and

  • See 3D Magnetic Inversion Model Compilation video and accompanying magnetic inversion anomaly map or visit www.precipitategold.com for additional illustrations of the Copey Hill gold exploration zones.

Jeffrey Wilson, Precipitate's President & CEO stated, "We are very pleased that this magnetic 3D inversion study has identified multiple untested magnetic-low anomalies which vector toward potential intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold mineralization. The accompanying 3D inversion video and map clearly illustrate classic epithermal affinities with the presence of large, distinct magnetic-low features (dark blue) situated directly beneath and proximal to the high-grade gold samples at surface. The 3D inversion results are a significant and critical final step forward for prioritizing drill targets. As such, the South Zone has developed into a high priority drill target. With our in-country drills and drilling crews on stand-by, upon receipt of drill permits, we are poised to commence an exciting first phase of drilling at this advancing target."

Local-scale geological mapping indicates that the Copey Hill Zone is dominantly underlain by intermediate composition mixed volcanic tuffs, agglomerates and lessor flows, with a common southeast strike. The joint interpretation of various magnetic geophysical and geological maps has inferred numerous crosscutting structures (trending north, northeast and northwest) that commonly overlap or are proximal to gold enriched surface soil and rock samples and strong magnetic-low anomalies. Interestingly, the south-side of the South Anomaly appears to wrap around a large magnetic high anomaly, which may suggest a concealed intrusive body and a postulated catalyst for Copey Hill mineralization and alteration.

*Note: Rock grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property.

The Copey Hill intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold target within the Company's 100% owned Ponton Project is road accessible and located approximately 25 kilometres due east of Barrick's Pueblo Viejo mining operation and the Company's Pueblo Grande project in the Dominican Republic.

The Copey Hill Zone ground magnetic survey covered an area measuring an estimated 2.8km by 1.8km. Survey data was collected at 12.5 metre station intervals on 50 metre spaced grid north-south oriented lines (with peripheral lines up to 200 metre separation) by a GSM-19 version 7 Overhauser magnetometer by Company technicians. Magnetic Inversion processing and 3D modelling of the ground magnetic data was completed by Thomas Weis and Associates Inc. A spectral analysis model (Fastmag3D) on the total magnetic intensity grid was used as the initial estimate for the Magnetic Vector Inversion ('MVI') model which was then run in Geosoft's MVI model software resulting creating a 3D Voxel model with 12.5 metre cell sizes. Follow up data compilation, 3D models and video construction was completed by Rogue Geoscience.

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.
