John Power, President and CEO of Athena, said, "The primary objective of our Spring 2023 RC drill program was to determine continuity of the shallow high-grade gold mineralization encountered in 2022; with step-outs both east and west, this will further define the target zone and set the stage for additional drilling."

雅典娜首席執行官兼首席執行官總裁約翰·鮑爾說,我們2023年春季RC鑽探計劃的主要目標是確定2022年遇到的淺層高品位金礦化的連續性;隨著東西兩個方向的退出,這將進一步確定目標區,並為進一步鑽探奠定基礎

"We continue to believe Excelsior Springs is emerging as one of the best advanced gold exploration projects in Nevada's Walker Lane Trend," Power added.

我們仍然相信,Excelsior Springs正在成為內華達州Walker Lane Trend地區最先進的金礦勘探專案之一。電力增加了。

Developing Additional Exploration Targets

開發更多勘探目標

We have identified several robust drill targets at Excelsior Springs and continue to do field work developing additional shallow- and high-grade drill targets. Recent sampling at Contact Gulch is an example of targets being analyzed and developed. Located only 0.5 miles east of the Western Slope Zone, Contact Gulch appears to be a surface expression of a limestone cap over siltstone that could contain mineralized material. Prior sampling done while conducting geologic mapping returned anomalous gold and arsenic in rock chip samples. New rock and soil assays are also pending from this area.

我們已經在Excelsior Springs確定了幾個堅固的鑽探目標,並繼續進行現場工作,開發更多的淺層和高級鑽探目標。最近在Contact Gulch進行的採樣就是正在分析和開發的目標的一個例子。Contact Gulch位於西部斜坡地帶以東僅0.5英里處,似乎是粉砂岩上的石灰岩蓋子的表面表現,其中可能含有礦化物質。在進行地質填圖時進行的事先採樣在岩屑樣品中發現了異常的金和砷。這一地區還在等待新的岩石和土壤分析結果。

All samples were shipped to American Assay Laboratories, an independent laboratory, in Reno, Nevada on July 7, 2023 for analysis. Assay results are expected in Q3-2023.

所有樣本都於2023年7月7日運往內華達州里諾市的獨立實驗室美國化驗實驗室進行分析。化驗結果預計將在2023年第三季度公佈。

About Our Flagship Excelsior Springs Project

關於我們的旗艦專案Excelsior Springs

The Excelsior Springs Project (the "ES Project") lies within the prolific Walker Lane tectonic trend, a large northwest-trending region in western Nevada of, strike-slip and extensional fault zones. These fault zones are host to numerous gold deposits with strong district and local control of the gold mineralization. The ES Project contains numerous prospect pits, trenches, roads, surface sampling sites and 113 drill holes to date within a 300m by 3,000m wide (1,000 foot-wide and 10,000-foot-long east-west extensional zone of shearing and hydrothermal alteration. Underground workings on the two patented claims within the Project had unverified, historical production of 597,187 grams of gold (19,200 troy ounces) of gold from 18,000 tons averaging 1.2 oz (37.3 grams of gold/ton).

Excelsior Springs專案(“ES專案”)位於多產的Walker Lane構造趨勢中,Walker Lane是內華達州西部一個由走滑和伸展斷裂帶組成的向西北方向的大型地區。這些斷裂帶賦存著大量金礦床,對金礦化具有較強的區域性和局部性控制作用。到目前為止,ES專案在一個300米乘3,000米寬(1,000英尺寬,10,000英尺長)的東西向剪切和熱液蝕變伸展帶內,包含許多潛在的礦坑、壕溝、道路、地表採樣點和113個鑽孔。該專案內兩項專利主張的地下開採未經核實,歷史上從18,000噸黃金中生產了597,187克黃金(19,200金衡盎司),平均產量為1.2盎司(37.3克黃金/噸)。

Walker Lane is experiencing a major resurgence of intense and successful exploration projects. Total gold production within the Walker Lane has amounted to 20+ million ounces ("Moz") of gold, including the following deposits at Goldfields (5 Moz), Bullfrog (2 Moz), Tonopah (2 Moz), Borealis (1 Moz), Mineral Ridge (1.5 Moz) and Comstock (8 Moz Au, 200 Moz Ag).

Walker Lane正在經歷一場激烈而成功的勘探專案的重大復興。Walker Lane的黃金總產量已達2,000萬盎司(“Moz”),包括位於Goldfield(5 Moz)、BullFrog(2 Moz)、Tonopah(2 Moz)、Borealis(1 Moz)、Minory Ridge(1.5 Moz)及Comstock(8 Moz Au,200 Moz Ag)的下列礦床。

Readers are cautioned that the Company has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any of the above-mentioned properties, other than the ES Project, and that the mineral deposits, and the results of any exploration or mining thereof, on adjacent or similar properties are not indicative of potential mineral deposits on the ES Project or any potential exploitation thereof.

敬請讀者注意,除ES專案外,本公司並無於上述任何物業擁有權益,亦無權利收購任何上述物業的權益,而鄰近或類似物業的礦藏及其勘探或開採結果並不代表ES專案的潛在礦藏或其任何潛在開採。

Gold mineralization discovered at the ES Project to date occurs in quartz vein stock-works and silicified zones in hornfels and calc-silicate altered country rock in a district known for porphyry dykes. The best (grades and thicknesses) in the recent past were found in oxidized and altered sediments proximal to porphyry dykes. One thick, high grade gold intercept encountered near the bottom of drill hole 22-01 is in underlying sulfide-bearing (pyrite and galena), altered sediments. The gold-mineralized stockwork and vein zones at the ES Project are shallow and each appears to have a relatively flat plunge, a favorable orientation for open pit mining.

到目前為止,在ES專案中發現的金礦化發生在角巖中的石英脈礦化和矽化帶中,以及以斑岩巖脈著稱的地區的鈣矽酸鹽蝕變圍巖中。最近最好的(品位和厚度)是在斑岩巖脈附近的氧化和蝕變沉積物中發現的。在22-01號鑽孔底部附近遇到的一個厚的、高品位的金攔截物位於下伏的含硫化物(黃鐵礦和方鉛礦)蝕變沉積物中。ES專案的金礦化網狀帶和脈狀帶較淺,每個礦帶似乎都有相對平坦的傾角,這是露天採礦的有利方向。

Most historical exploration at the Excelsior Springs Project has focused on a 2.5 km (8,200 feet) long section in the central part of the historic Buster Mine zone, where mineralization was mined at or near the surface. Surface mapping in 2021 by Athena and an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey conducted by Zonge International Inc. identified multiple zones of silicification correlating well with known mineralization. Several of the silicified zones defined by the IP (resistivity highs) surveys have not been tested by drilling and remain targets for future exploration.

Excelsior Springs專案的大多數歷史勘探都集中在歷史悠久的Buster礦區中部一段2.5公里(8,200英尺)長的區域,礦化是在地表或接近地表開採的。雅典娜2021年的地表測繪和宗格國際公司進行的激發極化(IP)地球物理測量確定了多個矽化帶,這些帶與已知礦化很好地關聯。IP(高電阻率)測量確定的幾個矽化帶尚未經過鑽井測試,仍是未來勘探的目標。

Based on the excellent results of Athena's two previous drilling programs, the ES Project is at an advanced stage of exploration with significant potential for one or more shallow open-pittable, oxidized gold deposits along with deeper, higher grade feeder zones similar to that encountered in drill hole 22-01 (mentioned above). In the opinion of management and its consultants, the ES Project is very promising and further exploration has the potential to expand the known high-grade oxide and sulfide gold mineralization and establish several additional gold-mineralized zones.

基於雅典娜之前兩個鑽探專案的出色結果,ES專案正處於勘探的後期階段,具有巨大的潛力,可開採一個或多個淺部可露天開採的氧化型金礦,以及與上文提到的22-01號鑽孔類似的更深、更高品位的給礦帶。管理層及其顧問認為,ES專案非常有前景,進一步勘探有可能擴大已知的高品位氧化物和硫化物金礦化,並建立幾個額外的金礦化帶。

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

品質保證和質量控制

Procedures are being implemented to assure Quality Assurance Quality Control (QA/QC) of drill hole assaying at an ISO Accredited assay laboratory in Reno. All 5-footdrill hole samples are being securely stored for shipment, with chain of custody documentation through delivery to the lab. Mineralized commercial reference standards and coarse blank standards are being inserted every 20th sample in sequence to assure acceptable levels of confidence of the drill hole assays. When laboratory reports of the assays are received, QA/QC protocols are immediately augmented to ensure the precision and accuracy of the drill hole assays.

正在實施程式,以確保位於雷諾的ISO認證化驗實驗室的鑽孔化驗的品質保證質量控制(QA/QC)。所有5個腳踏孔的樣品都被安全地儲存起來以備運輸,並通過將檔案運送到實驗室的過程中保存了一系列檔案。礦化的商業參考標準和粗空白標準將按順序每20個樣品插入一次,以確保鑽孔分析的可接受置信度。收到化驗報告後,立即增加QA/QC協定,以確保鑽孔化驗的精確度和準確度。

As the Project advances, additional QA/QC measures will be implemented including selected duplicate check assaying on pulps and coarse rejects at a second accredited assay laboratory.

隨著專案的推進,將實施更多的品質保證/質量控制措施,包括在第二個經認可的分析實驗室對紙漿和粗廢料進行選定的重複檢查分析。

Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors

對美國投資者的警示聲明

This press release references NI 43-101, which differs from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.

本新聞稿編號為NI 43-101,與美國證券法的要求不同。NI 43-101是加拿大證券管理人制定的一項規則,為發行人對有關礦產專案的科學和技術資訊進行的所有公開披露建立了標準。

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can legally extract or produce. Pursuant to SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves. Currently Athena has not delineated "reserves" on any of its properties. Athena cannot be certain that any deposits at its properties will ever be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 or any successor rule or regulation compliant "reserves". Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the historic Buster Mine gold zone will ever be confirmed or converted into reserves or that it can be economically or legally extracted.

美國證券交易委員會(“美國證券交易委員會”)允許礦業公司在提交給美國證券交易委員會的檔案中只披露公司可以合法開採或生產的礦藏。根據修訂後的1933年《美國證券法》下的《美國證券交易委員會行業指南7》,需要進行一份“最終”或“可銀行”的可行性研究報告,以報告儲備情況。目前,雅典娜還沒有在其任何一處房產上劃定“保護區”。雅典娜無法確定其物業內的任何存款是否會被確認或轉換為“美國證券交易委員會”行業指南7或任何後續規則或法規所遵循的“儲備”。告誡投資者,不要以為歷史悠久的巴斯特金礦區的任何部分或全部都會得到確認或轉換為儲量,或者可以經濟或合法地開採出來。

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019, with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7, which was rescinded from and after such date and replaced with disclosure requirements known as S-K 1300.

美國證券交易委員會已經通過了對其披露規則的修正案,以使其證券根據修訂後的1934年美國證券交易法在美國證券交易委員會登記的發行人的礦業權披露要求現代化。這些修正案於2019年2月25日生效,要求從2021年1月1日或之後開始的第一個財年遵守《美國證券交易委員會行業指南7》中針對礦業註冊人的歷史財產披露要求,該指南在該日期及之後被撤銷,取而代之的是名為S-K1300的披露要求。
