Snowline Gold Intersects 1.27 Grams Per Tonne Over 108.0 Metres In Second Hole Returned From Its Bulk-Tonnage Valley Discovery, Rogue Project, Yukon

Snowline Gold Intersects 1.27 Grams Per Tonne Over 108.0 Metres In Second Hole Returned From Its Bulk-Tonnage Valley Discovery, Rogue Project, Yukon

  • Hole V-21-001 averaged 1.27 g/t Au over 108 m from 19.5 m downhole, within a broader mineralized zone averaging 1.09 g/t Au over 135 m from 5 m downhole.
  • Entire 161 m hole averaged 0.95 g/t Au, ending in zone of gold mineralization.
  • Geochemical signature consistent with classic reduced intrusion related gold system.
  • Assays to follow for remaining 2 holes at Valley, both of which intersected similar mineralization to reported holes V-21-001 and V-21-002.

Snowline Gold Corp. (CSE:SGD) (OTCQB:SNWGF) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to provide additional initial drill results from Phase I drilling at the Valley zone on its Rogue gold project in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Hole V-21-001 intersected a broad zone of high gold values associated with visible gold in sheeted vein arrays. The hole averaged 1.27 gt Au (uncapped) over 108.0 m from 19.5 m downhole, within a broader zone of mineralization averaging 1.09 gt Au (uncapped) over 135.0 m from 5.0 m downhole. These results build on the recently announced assay results for Hole V-21-002 (1.01 gt Au over 136.8 m; reported January 25, 2022), demonstrating encouraging grade continuity in the mineralized system

Table 1 - Hole details and notable intervals in V-21-001. Localized hot spots of up to 22.6 g/t Au (over 0.4 m) were present in the mineralized interval, particularly in the top 45 m of the hole, but overall grades are otherwise relatively consistent. With grades capped at 10 g/t Au, the top two intervals return 1.00 g/t Au over 135 m and 1.17 g/t over 108.0 m. This capping reduces the effect of "smearing" of high-grade results across lower grade zones of the intervals.
*Interval widths reported; at this point there is insufficient data to reliably estimate true widths of the zone.

"This second set of drill results confirms the tenor of the Valley discovery," said Scott Berdahl, CEO and director of Snowline. "We are excited to see such consistent mineralization within and between our first two holes. This is a very strong start and gives us a lot to build on in the upcoming 2022 exploration season. Given the scale of the associated soil anomaly and the distribution of sheeted vein arrays we have seen on surface, there appears to be a lot of high potential ground to explore as we test the extents of this mineralized system. My congratulations again to the Snowline technical team on their second significant drill discovery in our first field season-this is a remarkable achievement."

Drill hole V-21-001 totalled 161 m in length and averaged 0.95 g/t Au over the full 160.5 m (excluding the top 0.5 m of overburden which was not assayed). The hole ended in elevated to anomalous gold mineralization, with the final 7.0 m of drilling averaging 0.34 g/t Au, including 1.65 g/t Au over 0.55 m from 159.0 m carrying trace visible gold.

Based on the geological setting, the style of mineralization observed and on geochemical and mineral associations observed in drill core, Valley is interpreted to be a reduced intrusion related gold system (RIRGS). Elsewhere, RIRGS gold deposits are known to form important commercial gold resources, including Victoria Gold Corp.'s Eagle Mine in the Yukon and Kinross Gold Corporation's Fort Knox Mine in Alaska. Both deposits are hosted in intrusive rocks thought to be associated with those at Valley.

Valley is currently a discovery-stage bulk-tonnage prospect with no estimated resources nor reserves. At this early stage it is not possible to determine the size of the mineralized system nor whether it will prove to be economically viable.

FORTHCOMING RESULTS

Assay results for V-21-003 and V-21-004 have yet to be received. Both remaining holes at Valley intersected trace amounts of visible gold in drill core along with extensive zones of sheeted quartz veins. Full results from these holes are expected in the coming weeks.

Figure 5 - Sheeted vein arrays observed in drill holes V-21-003 (left) and V-21-004 (right). Subparallel, millimetre- to centimetre-scale quartz veins similar to those observed in V-21-001 and V-21-002 are present across wide zones in all four holes drilled at Valley in 2021. The density of veins increases towards the intrusion, as expected for this deposit model and as illustrated by the greater density in the silicified diorites (left) versus the hornfelsed siltstones (right). Assays for these drill holes are pending.

UPCOMING EXPLORATION

With over $8.6M CDN in the treasury, Snowline is actively preparing for a busy 2022 exploration season. The upcoming program will see at least two drills turning on an 8,000+ m program focused on the Company's Jupiter and Valley discoveries along with nearby targets. This work continues to build toward establishing North America's newest gold district in the Yukon's Selwyn Basin.

The Company currently has a diamond drill under contract and on site at Valley, overwintering for a quick and cost-effective resumption of drilling in Spring 2022. Given the scale of the associated geochemical anomaly, the extent of sheeted veins observed on surface and the potential for higher vein densities within the intrusion, a 3000+ m drill program is planned at Valley to establish the scale and continuity of the mineralized zone.

Figure 6 - Valley zone location map in relation to surrounding Snowline Gold Corp. projects. Valley is the westernmost in an east-west line of 3 small intrusive bodies, each of which appears to have potential to host an intrusion-related gold deposit.

QA/QC AND QUALIFIED PERSON

On receipt from the drill site, drill core from V-21-001 was systematically logged for geological attributes, photographed and sampled at Snowline's 2021 field camp. Smaller sample lengths were used to isolate zones of interest, otherwise a default 1.5 m downhole sample length was used. Core was cut in half lengthwise, with one half collected for analysis and one half stored as a record. Standard reference materials, blanks and duplicate samples were inserted by Snowline personnel at regular intervals into the sample stream. Bagged samples were sealed with security tags to ensure integrity during transport. They were delivered by expeditor and by Snowline personnel to ALS Laboratories' preparatory facility in Whitehorse, Yukon, with analysis completed in Vancouver.

ALS is accredited to ISO 17025:2005 UKAS ref 4028 for its laboratory analysis. Samples were crushed by ALS to >70% passing below 2 mm and split using a riffle splitter. 250 g splits were pulverized to >85% passing below 75 microns. An aqua regia digest with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) finish was used for 51-element analysis on 50 g samples (ALS code: Au-ME-TL44). All samples were re-analysed for gold content by fire assay with an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish on 30 g samples (ALS code: Au-ICP21). Any sample returning >10 g/t Au was reanalysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish on a 50 g sample (ALS code: Au-GRA22).

Samples with visible gold and other samples returning >5 g/t Au will undergo further processing, analysing the screen rejects to determine whether the screening process could introduce a sampling bias in current results by excluding coarse gold from analysis.

Information in this release has been prepared and approved by Scott Berdahl, P. Geo., Chief Executive Officer of Snowline and a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

Omar Ayales: Gold, Silver, Juniors Have Explosive Upside — Not Being in Trade is Top Risk

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Omar Ayales of Gold Charts R Us discussed the outlook for gold from a technical perspective, saying that he sees the metal's price potentially peaking in 2026.

Gold's past performance indicates that it could reach US$4,000 per ounce during this cycle. He sees US$2,600 as a bullish support level for gold, with deeper support existing in the US$2,200 to US$2,300 range.

However, Ayales said there's no guarantee that the yellow metal will fall that low at this point.

Black Swans, White Swans and Trump’s Clash with the Fed

The Trump administration’s ability to reign in government spending, quash inflation and bolster the economy were the most prevalent topics during the popular economy panel at the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Moderated by Adrian Day, president Adrian Day Asset Management, this year’s discussion featured James Lavish, Jim Bianco, Dr. Mark Skousen, Brent Johnson and James Grant. The expert group began the discussion by debating the potential economic impact Donald Trump could have, highlighting contradictions in his policies.

Johnson, who is CEO of Santiago Capital, pointed out that Trump's anti-inflation stance conflicts with his push for a weak US dollar and tariffs, which Johnson likened to global rate hikes.
