Snowline Gold Commences 8,000 Metre Drill Program on Its Flagship Yukon Projects

Snowline Gold Commences 8,000 Metre Drill Program on Its Flagship Yukon Projects

  • Phase II drilling underway at Valley, a bulk tonnage gold discovery made in late 2021
  • Upwards of 8,000 metres drilling planned across at least four targets in 2022
  • Potential for significant new drill discoveries along with expansion of Snowline's Valley and Jupiter zones

Snowline Gold Corp. (CSE:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2022 exploration and drilling program. Drill crews and geological staff recently mobilized to the Company's new Forks Camp, built to support its Rogue, Einarson, Ursa and Cynthia projects. Phase II diamond drilling is underway at Rogue's Valley zone to test the extent of gold mineralization encountered by drilling in September 2021 within a soil and talus fine anomaly spanning roughly two kilometers

Figure 1 - Location of V-22-005, Snowline's first drill hole of the 2022 exploration season, currently underway at Valley. The hole is a 150m step back from V-21-003, which intersected 1.25 g/t Au over 168.7 m from surface. The step back will provide a better measure of the width of the mineralization and constrain the broader orientation of the zone, in addition to testing the mineralization encountered in V-21-003 at depth.

"Following an exceptional first season with two drill discoveries on our adjacent Rogue and Einarson projects, we are very excited to return to the field," said Scott Berdahl, CEO and Director of Snowline. "Our team has already done a tremendous job setting up for an early season start amidst our new camp build and a record-breaking spring snowpack. Snowline's 2022 drill program gives our shareholders much to look forward to as we simultaneously build on recent successes and position ourselves to make additional discoveries. Our results will shed new light on our large and relatively unexplored land package, which we believe has the potential to become a new North American gold district."

The geological setting and style of mineralization at Valley demonstrate the presence of a bulk tonnage gold target, with similarities to Kinross's Fort Knox Mine in Alaska and Victoria Gold's Eagle Mine in the Yukon. An 800 m Phase I drill program conducted at Valley in September 2021 encountered broad zones of gold mineralization in all four holes (e.g. see Snowline news release dated February 10, 2022). Gold is associated with bismuthinite and telluride minerals hosted in sheeted quartz vein arrays along margins of a mid-Cretaceous aged Mayo-series intrusion.

2022 DRILL CAMPAIGN

Snowline's 2022 drill program budgets for at least 8,000 m total drilling across four or more zones.

At Rogue, some 3,000 m are planned for drilling on and around the Valley intrusion, which includes the Valley and Ridge zones. Expected hole depths range between 200 m and 300 m, with one or more deeper holes planned to determine continuity and intensity of mineralization at depth. The drill program will test the scale of the Valley gold system, with a systematic series of step-outs set to better define the width, breadth and depth of mineralization responsible for the geochemical anomalies on surface.

At Einarson, some 3,000 m are budgeted for the Jupiter zone, a high-grade epizonal orogenic gold prospect discovered by drilling in 2021 (e.g. see Snowline news release dated October 13, 2021). Precise drill targeting will await the results of early-season surface work. The program will further test the scale of the Jupiter gold system with broad step-outs, while more concentrated drilling near last season's drill discoveries will better define geometries and controls on mineralization while providing a more rigorous testing of known high-grade zones.

The balance of 2,000 m or more is budgeted for first-ever drill testing of additional targets. At Rogue's Gracie zone, a 5.1 km gold in soil and talus fine anomaly above a buried felsic intrusion represents a high-priority bulk tonnage drill target (see Snowline news release dated April 7, 2022). Mineralization is thought to be related to that at Valley. Following surface work to optimize drill targeting and assuming viable targets are identified, Phase I drilling will commence at Gracie.

Other candidate zones for Phase I drilling in summer 2022 include:

  • Avalanche Creek (Einarson): A one-kilometer-long mineralized quartz carbonate boulder train similar in character to Jupiter, some 12 km away. Grab samples of Avalanche Creek float material assay from 0.3 g/t Au to 34.2 g/t Au, and a likely source structure for the mineralization has been identified.
  • Mars (Einarson): A four-kilometer-long gold in soil and talus fine anomaly in historical data with values of up to 8.97 g/t Au in talus fines. Rock samples from the trend range from below detection to 9.27 g/t Au, including a historical hand trench that returned 7.1 g/t Au over 5.0 m. Limited historical drilling tested the far south end of the trend, near the hand trench location, with reported intercepts of up to 0.57 g/t Au over 21.2 m (true width unknown). The majority of the Mars anomaly, including its strongest soil geochemistry, has not been drill tested.
  • Ursa: A fourteen-kilometer-long trend of anomalous zinc in stream sediments with values consistently over 0.1% Zn and up to 3.4% Zn. An aerial VTEM survey conducted by Snowline in 2021 revealed several large conductors that may be lithological or that may be indicators of mineralization.

The proportion and total amount of drilling planned for each zone are rough working guides and may change based on drill results and other observations or factors throughout the season.

Snowline Gold Intersects 161.0 M of 1.1 Grams Per Tonne Gold at its Valley Discovery and Confirms a Second Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System at its Rogue Project, Yukon

Snowline Gold Intersects 161.0 M of 1.1 Grams Per Tonne Gold at its Valley Discovery and Confirms a Second Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System at its Rogue Project, Yukon

  • Hole V-22-030 returned 1.06 g/t Au over 161.0 m within broader 282.5 m mineralized interval averaging 0.73 g/t Au, adding width to southeast extension of near-surface, well mineralized corridor at Valley
  • Hole ends in mineralization, with final 66.0 m of hole averaging 1.46 g/t Au and final 21.0 m averaging 1.93 g/t Au
  • Localized gold intersections at Gracie target (4 km east of Valley) confirm a second reduced-intrusion gold system to be targeted in phase 2 drilling in 2023.

Snowline Gold Corp. (CSE:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to announce additional preliminary assay results from its 2022 drilling programs at its Rogue Project in Canada's Yukon Territory. Hole V-22-030, drilled on the southeastern margin of Valley's central mineralized zone, returned 1.06 gt Au over 161.0 m before ending in strong mineralization (Tables 1 and 2). The result adds scale and tonnage to the southeastern side of this near-surface, well mineralized zone. In addition, results from phase 1 drilling at the Gracie confirm the existence of a second reduced intrusion-related gold system, with a high correlation between gold, bismuth and tellurium values in sheeted quartz veins. Phase 1 results will be used to guide a targeted phase 2 drill program at Gracie in 2023
