Snowline Gold Profiles Cynthia Gold Project, 100% Owned Bulk Tonnage Gold Target

  • 2x2 km zone of alteration, veining and elevated gold geochemistry between two Tombstone suite intrusions presents a bulk tonnage gold target with potential for high grade structural zones
  • Grab samples within the mineralized structures range from 200 ppb to 3.0 g/t Au, with results up to 16 g/t Au
  • Historical first pass drilling returned encouraging results including 1.2 g/t Au over 6.5 m

Snowline Gold Corp. (CSE:SGD) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to introduce its 100% owned, 710 hectare Cynthia Gold Project located in the Selwyn Basin, eastern Yukon Territory. The Cynthia claims cover a 4 square kilometre area of gold mineralization between two adjacent exposures of a Cretaceous Tombstone suite intrusion. Mineralization is controlled by district-scale fault zones and is especially intense in the central part of the project. Surface grab samples in these zones commonly assay from 200 ppb to 3 grams per tonne gold, with values up to 16 gt Au in a central zone. Cynthia is along strike of the past producing Plata silver mine, and is within 8 km of an inactive heavy equipment winter access trail that connects to the North Canol Road

Cynthia is interpreted to have both bulk-tonnage and high grade, structurally-controlled exploration potential . Historical first pass drilling in 2010 returned broad zones of elevated gold associated with extensive quartz veining and stockwork, including 1.2 g/t Au over 6.5 m within a broader interval of 0.43 g/t Au over 32 m (drilled widths given, true widths unknown). Approximately 1,100 m of historical drilling was completed on the property in 7 holes.

"The scale of anomalous gold values and accompanying alteration at Cynthia is hard to ignore," said Scott Berdahl, COO and Director of Snowline Gold Corp. "Given its proximity to our flagship Rogue project and its associated dataset, we have the opportunity to assess historical results at Cynthia in regional context and to advance exploration at relatively low cost. The mineralization itself lends further weight to our interpretation of the broader Rogue-Einarson area as a potential new gold district."

Snowline is reviewing the complete project portfolio it acquired from 18526 Yukon Inc. in late February 2021 and is focused on prioritizing 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

The Cynthia property is located between two Cretaceous quartz monzonite stocks in a zone of variably folded and faulted, late Paleozoic Selwyn Basin passive margin sedimentary rocks. The two stocks are thought to be apophyses of a larger intrusion at depth. Adjacent sedimentary rocks have undergone intense hornfelsing, with abundant pyrite and pyrrhotite.


Figure 1: Historic mapping and prospecting results at Cynthia, with gold values in the structural intersection to 16 g/t Au (from Soloviev, 2003). Later historical mapping by a separate company yielded a different structural interpretation, but prospecting results are believed to be reliable based on other historical sampling.

Two prominent structural zones intersect in the saddle zone between the intrusions. These structures host gold-bearing massive and drusy quartz veins. Within the intersection zone are zones of intense stockwork and strong brecciation, as well as numerous felsic dykes. Multi-staged gold mineralization in the quartz veins, stockwork and altered quartz porphyry dykes include sulphide minerals (mainly pyrite and arsenopyrite) and elevated As, Bi and Ag values. Abundant chalcedony accompanied by elevated Sb, Hg, Ag and Pb values has been variously interpreted by historical operators to represent a late-stage epithermal gold environment, or to represent an earlier sedex-style mineralizing event.

A program of geological mapping, historical core review, drone surveying and geochemical sampling is planned to put historical results in context and to establish a drilling strategy for the project.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Price Reacts to Inflation Data, Trump Makes Big Permitting Promise

The gold price rose early on this week, breaking US$2,700 per ounce on Wednesday (December 11).

The metal was reacting to the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 2.7 percent year-on-year increase for the month of November. That's up slightly from the 2.6 percent annual gain seen in October.

CPI was up 0.3 percent month-on-month, again higher than October's 0.2 percent rise. Core CPI, which excludes the more volatile food and energy categories, was up 3.3 percent year-on-year and 0.3 percent from the previous month.

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.
