Steppe Gold Discovers Multiple High Grade Zinc Zones Below ATO Gold Deposits

Steppe Gold Discovers Multiple High Grade Zinc Zones Below ATO Gold Deposits

 

Steppe Gold Limited (TSX: STGO) (OTCQX: STPGF) (FSE: 2J9) ("Steppe Gold" or the "Company") is extremely pleased to announce the following exploration drilling update at its 100%-owned Altan Tsagaan Ovoo ("ATO") project.

 

While we continue to ramp up production of gold and silver from the oxide ores at ATO, the Company maintained exploration activity in late 2021, focused on extensional and step-out targets. Results are now available, and this underscores the long held view that the ATO project has strong long term potential and remains open to support further drilling targets.

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

 
  • Exceptional high-grade zinc continues to be discovered beneath the ATO Gold Deposits
  •  
  • Follow up drilling to commence with up to three drilling rigs utilized
  •  
  • Better results include:
    • 20.95m at 10.56% Zinc and 3.13% Lead from 347.65m (ATO-364)
    •  
    • 15m at 8.0% Zinc and 5.87% Lead from 371m (ATO-379)
    •  
    • 55.4m at 4.23% Zinc and 1.83% Lead from 98.5m (ATO-391)
    •  
    • 10.62m at 9.2% Zinc and 4.3% Lead from 201.15m (ATO-396)
    •  
    • 23.5m at 6.28% Zinc and 1.63% Lead from 396m (ATO-423)
    •  
  •  

Recent drilling completed at the ATO Gold Deposits has continued to target depth extensions of the existing ATO deposits.

 

This has resulted in an exciting new discovery of multiple high grade zinc sulphide intercepts beneath the existing ATO Gold Deposits. The drilling results are extremely encouraging, and the Company intends to follow this up with an extensive drilling program in the coming months.

 

President and CEO of Steppe Gold, Bataa Tumur-Ochir commented, "We are very pleased to announce these exciting drill results with high grade intercepts of zinc and lead supporting our view that the Phase 2 Expansion at ATO has much further to go. Our 2021 Feasibility Study demonstrated robust economics focused on strong gold and silver content in the sulphide zones. These drilling results provide further encouragement that there is high grade zinc and lead in situ. With well-established logistics from the site to the nearby Chinese border this adds to our confidence in the long-term viability of ATO with multiple revenue streams."

Bert Dohmen: Gold, Silver Key as Stock Market Bull Trap Looms

Bert Dohmen, founder and CEO of Dohmen Capital Research, sees physical gold and silver as key safe havens as a potential bull trap in the broad stock market plays out.

"We said we're probably going to go to a new high in a major, widely watched index like the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX). It's going to be by a small amount a new high, and that's going to close the bull trap," he said.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold continued to perform well through the second quarter of 2025, reaching a new all-time high of AU$5,425 per ounce on April 22.

The price surge has occurred amid volatile equity and financial markets since the start of the year, driven by concerns over a global trade war and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The rising gold price has also been supported by uncertainty over a looming debt crisis in the United States. Some investors have turned away from dollar-denominated haven assets, such as US Treasuries, in favour of precious metals like gold.
