Snowline Gold Announces 100% Owned Rainbow Gold Project, Central Yukon

  • Geochemical anomaly suggests the presence of a deep-seated intrusion-related gold system, potentially analogous to Victoria Gold's Eagle or Kinross' Fort Knox deposits
  • Ground magnetics reveal alteration signature across 3 x 2 kilometre area
  • Prospecting grab samples to 7.98 g/t Au, shear zones to 4.1 g/t Au

SNOWLINE GOLD CORP. (CSE:SGD) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to provide additional detail on its 100% owned, 125 hectare Rainbow Gold Project, located within the Tintina Gold Belt. The Rainbow project covers a gold and pathfinder element soil anomaly associated with surface alteration caused by a recently discovered intrusion, thought to belong to the mid-Cretaceous Tombstone Plutonic Suite. Other Tombstone-related gold deposits within the Tintina Gold Belt include Fort Knox (~11 million ounces Au), and Eagle (~4.8 million ounces Au

"The Rainbow Gold Project is another key element in Snowline's Yukon-focused asset portfolio. The sampling and geophysics to date indicate we may be on top of a prospective intrusion like the types associated with other large deposits in the Tintina Gold Belt" said Nikolas Matysek, Chief Executive Officer of Snowline. "Historical work has established a clear deposit thesis that we will move to validate this season."

Snowline is reviewing the complete project portfolio it acquired from a private vendor and is focused on planning and prioritizing its exploration to maximize shareholder value. Specifically, it is examining multiple options for its non-core assets, including targeted exploration and joint venture arrangements.

Project Geology

Grid soil geochemistry completed over the property revealed a 1 km by 300 m zone of high gold values (to 1.27 g/t) accompanied by anomalous bismuth, tellurium and tungsten flanked by zones of anomalous arsenic, antimony and silver (see Figure 1). This geochemical anomaly corresponds to the eroded edge of a 3x2 kilometre magnetic anomaly. Prospecting returned shear-hosted sulphide-bearing outcrop samples grading 4.1 g/t Au and locally-derived angular quartz float samples running 7.98 g/t Au. The magnetic anomaly reveals the potential size of the alteration system, and stream geochemistry anomalies that are 2.5 kilometres from the soil anomaly suggests that mineralizing fluids may have travelled at a similar scale.

A program of drone surveying, geochemical sampling and structural mapping is planned to establish suitable drill targets on the Rainbow property.

Figure 1: Intense, zoned, multi-element soil anomaly associated with eroded exposures of a hornfelsed zone around newly-discovered intrusive rocks at Rainbow. High spatial correlation between gold and bismuth, with anomalous antimony and arsenic peripheral to the gold zone is similar to zoning observed in known reduced intrusion related gold systems such as Kinross Gold's Ft. Knox deposit in Alaska.

5 Top Weekly TSXV Stocks: Rackla Metals Soars 90 Percent on Gold Exploration Results

The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) gained 20.94 points last week to close at 584.33.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics released March employment numbers this past Friday (April 5). The report indicates that 303,000 nonfarm jobs were added to the economy through the month; meanwhile, the unemployment rate declined slightly to 3.8 percent, although it remains within the 3.7 percent to 3.9 percent range it’s held since last August. The increase in jobs surprised economists, who had forecast that approximately 200,000 jobs would be added for the month.

There was a different story north of the border. Statistics Canada released its March Labor Force Survey this past Friday, and it shows that the country's unemployment rate rose 0.3 percent to come in at 6.1 percent. Canada's employment remained largely unchanged, posting a slight contraction of 2,200 jobs.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Price Hits US$2,300, Silver Price Breaks US$27

The gold price hit a major milestone this week, breaking the US$2,300 per ounce mark for the first time ever.

The yellow metal's rise has been a long time coming, but in some ways it's been quicker than expected. I spoke with many experts at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention about a month ago, and while a number of them thought US$2,300 was in the cards for 2024, they didn't necessarily see it happening so fast.

Gold's increase came even as US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank needs to see more evidence that inflation is heading toward its 2 percent target before it begins cutting interest rates.
