Siren Gold

Second Hole at Auld Creek Intersects Broad Mineralised Zone

Siren Gold Limited (ASX: SNG) (Siren or the Company) is pleased to provide an exploration update following assay results from its first drillhole at the Auld Creek Prospect.


Highlights

  • Siren’s second drillhole ACDDH005 at the Auld Creek prospect has intersected the Fraternal Shoot.
  • ACDDH005 intersected 17.9m at 2.3g/t Au, 0.1% Sb for 2.6g/t AuEq from 59.4m, including:
    • 3.9m @ 3.3g/t Au, 0.1% Sb for 3.6g/t AuEq, and
    • 10.0m @ 2.8g/t Au, 0.1% Sb for 3.1g/t AuEq.
  • Results confirm existing drillholes that include:
    • 35.0m @ 4.1g/t Au, 2.9% Sb or 35.0m @ 11.0g/t AuEq,
    • 6.0m @ 4.1g/t Au, 4.1% Sb or 6.0m @ 13.8g/t AuEq, and
    • 34.0m @ 1.6g/t Au, 0.7% Sb or 34.0.0m @ 3.3g/t AuEq.
    • 20.7m @ 5.9g/t Au, 2.6% Sb or 20.7m @ 12.0g/t AuEq.
  • Assay results for the second hole ACDDH006 are still pending.
  • The thickness and consistency of the first holes at Auld Creek is very encouraging and consistent with recent trench results and historical drillholes.
Background

The Auld Creek Prospect is contained within Siren’s Golden Point exploration permit and is situated between the highly productive Globe Progress mine, which historically produced 418koz @ 12.2g/t Au, and the Crushington group of mines that produced 515koz @ 16.3g/t Au (Figure 1). More recently OceanaGold (OGL) mined an open pit and extracted an additional 600koz of gold from lower grade remnant mineralisation around the historic Globe Progress mine. Collectively these mines produced 1.6Moz at 10g/t Au.

Figure 1. Reefton area showing Auld Creek Project, and surrounding gold and coal mines.

Within 20kms of the Auld Creek Project at Reefton there are 18 mines, including seven coal mines and the Globe Progress gold mine. A coal handling facility and train loadout are located at the northern end of Reefton town.

The Auld Creek Prospect represents high-grade gold-antimony (Sb) mineralisation that was potentially offset to the west, along NE-SE trending faults between Globe Progress and Crushington.

The gold-antimony mineralisation extends from Auld Creek south through Globe Progress and the Cumberland prospects and on to Big River, a strike length of 12kms with 9kms in Siren’s permits and the remaining 3kms in the Globe Progress reserve area.

The Auld Creek arsenic soil anomaly now extends for over 700m along strike. Trenching along the soil anomaly has clearly defined the high-grade Au-Sb mineralisation in the Fraternal, Fraternal North, Bonanza and Bonanza West Shoots (Figure 2).

The Reefton Goldfield can be correlated with the Lachlan Fold that contains epizonal gold-antimony deposits like Fosterville and Costerfield. Siren’s Auld Creek epizonal deposit contains high grade gold and massive stibnite veins.

Siren has used the same gold equivalent formula (𝐴𝑢𝐸𝑞 = 𝐴𝑢 g/𝑡 + 2.36 × 𝑆𝑏 %) used by Mandalay Resources Ltd for the Costerfield mine (refer Mandalay Website: Mandalay have adopted CY2022 metal prices of US$1,750 / ounce gold and US$13,000 / tonne antinomy).

Fraternal Shoot

Previously reported Fraternal diamond downhole intercepts include:

  • 35.0m @ 4.1g/t Au, 2.9% Sb or 35.0m @ 11.0g/t AuEq (RDD087),
  • 6.0m @ 4.1g/t Au, 4.1% Sb or 6.0m @13.8g/t AuEq (RDD086),
  • 34.0m @ 1.6/t Au, 0.7% Sb or 34.0m @ 3.3g/t AuEq (RDD085), and
  • 20.7m @ 5.9g/t Au, 2.6% Sb or 20.7m @ 12.0g/t AuEq (ACDDH004).

Significant drillhole intersections are shown in Figure 2 and Table 1.

Siren’s recently commenced diamond drilling program is focused on depth extension of the interpreted south plunging Fraternal shoot, with initial holes drilled to the south of current drilling (Figure 2).

The second drillhole ACDDH005, was targeted near the interpreted top edge of the shoot, approximately 50m below trench FTTR005 (8.3m @ 2.1g/t Au, 0.45% Sb or 8.3m @ 3.2g/t AuEq) as shown in Figure 3. ACDDH005 intersected a downhole length of 17.9m @ 2.3g/t Au, 0.1% Sb or 17.9m @ 2.6g/t Au (Table 1). This includes 4m @ 0.25g/t in centre of the shoot, with a hanging wall intersection of 3.9m @ 3.6g/t AuEq and a footwall intersection of 10m @ 3.1g/t AuEq. The true width of the shoot is interpreted to be around 12m (Figure 4).

The first drillhole, ACDDH004, was targeted at the Fraternal Shoot, approximately 50m down plunge from trench FTTR001 (8.4m @ 19.7g/t Au, 5.3% Sb or 8.4m @ 32g/t AuEq), and intersected 20.7m that averaged 5.9g/t Au, 2.6% Sb for 12.0g/t AuEq (Table 1), with the first 4.6m averaging 10.7g/t Au, 3.9% Sb for 19.9g/t AuEq (refer to ASX announcement dated 8 May 2023). The true thickness of the intersection is interpreted to be approximately 13m (Figure 5).

ACDDH006 was drilled 175m down plunge (from the surface) near the bottom of the interpreted shoot (Figure 3). A thinner 6m mineralised zone was intersected (Figure 4) with results awaited. The thickness of the mineralisation is consistent with nearby RDD0086 and trench FTTR003 near the bottom of the shoot.

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.

B2Gold Announces TSX Approval for Normal Course Issuer Bid

B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE American: BTG) (" B2Gold " or the " Company ") announces that, further to the press release of the Company dated January 13, 2025 (the " Announcement PR "), the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX ") has accepted the notice of B2Gold's intention to implement a normal course issuer bid (the " NCIB ").

The Company's decision to approve the NCIB is consistent with its amended shareholder return strategy outlined in the Announcement PR, and reflective of the Company's belief that the market may undervalue the common shares of B2Gold (the " Shares ") from time to time and that the Shares may trade in a price range which may not adequately reflect the value of the Shares in relation to the business, assets, and prospects of B2Gold from time to time and that purchases of Shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the Company's capital.
