Thesis Gold Extends Mineralization at the Emerging Steve Zone on the Ranch Project
Thesis Gold Extends Mineralization at the Emerging Steve Zone on the Ranch Project
The Steve Zone forms a local topographic high, the resistive feature is the result of silicification of the volcanic host rock (Figure 1). In 2022 this area was drilled as a conceptual exploration target identified through mapped alteration, surface rock samples yielding between 0.53 and 2.91 g/t Au, spatially overlapping soil geochemical anomalies (Ag, As, Sb, Mo, W, Pb, and Zn), and intersecting structural lineaments interpreted from ground geophysics (magnetics and induced polarization-IP). The 2022 discovery of the Steve Zone was delineated by two drillholes spaced 220 m apart, one of which returned 119.20 m of 0.97 g/t Au beginning ~350 m below surface (see news release from January 12, 2023).Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2023) - Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF) ("Thesis" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities at the Steve Zone, situated within the Company's 100% owned Ranch Gold Project. The Steve Zone was a new target generated by Thesis' multidisciplinary exploration program and the discovery was confirmed through drilling in 2022. The 2023 drill campaign, comprised six holes that extended mineralization and defined multiple mineralized zones, demonstrating its promising resource potential. Situated 3.5km directly south of the Bonanza-Ridge Zone, the Steve Zone continues to demonstrate the potential for wide-spread mineralization across the Ranch Project. The Project is road-accessible by way of the Company's Lawyers Gold-Silver Project, and together the two projects form a contiguous, 325 km2 land package in the prolific Toodoggone Mining District in northern British Columbia.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--（Newsfile Corp.，2023 年 12 月 7 日）——Thesis Gold Inc.（多倫多證券交易所：TAU）（WKN：A3EP87）（OTCQX：THSGF）（”論文“或者”公司“）很高興提供其在史蒂夫區（Steve Zone）勘探活動的最新情況，該區位於該公司100％擁有的Ranch Gold Project內。Steve Zone是Thesis的多學科勘探計劃產生的新目標，這一發現通過2022年的鑽探得到證實。2023 年的鑽探活動包括六個鑽孔，這些鑽孔延長了礦化範圍並定義了多個礦化帶，展示了其廣闊的資源潛力。Steve Zone 位於 Bonanza-Ridge 區以南 3.5 公里處，繼續展示着整個牧場項目廣泛礦化的潛力。該項目可通過公司的 Lawyers Gold-Silver 項目在道路上通行，這兩個項目共同構成相連的 325 千米2 位於不列顛哥倫比亞省北部多產的圖多貢礦區的一攬子土地。
Highlights
亮點
- Building upon the 2022 discovery of 119.20 metres (m) of 0.97 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au), six 2023 drillholes confirmed the presence of multiple mineralized zones:
- Mineralization now extends from surface to a vertical depth of over 400 metres and 330 metres strike length, it remains open.
- The Steve zone is characterized by broad-scale silica alteration and associated mineralization that contain more localized zones of higher grade.
- 23STVDD003 intercepted 10.00 m of 3.01 g/t Au beginning at 18.00 m core length (see Table 1 for complete assay results).
- 23STVDD005 intercepted 60.24 m at 0.78 g/t Au including 6.63 m of 3.49 g/t Au, and 71.00 m of 0.71 g/t including 26.00 m of 1.20 g/t Au.
- The latest findings from the Steve Zone, a result of internal target generation efforts, not only underscore the zone's potential, but also highlight the extensive exploration opportunities across our district scale land package.
- 在 2022 年發現每噸金 0.97 克（g/t Au）的 119.20 米（m）的基礎上，2023 年的六個鑽孔證實存在 多個礦化區:
- 礦化現已延長 從表面到 垂直深度超過 400 米，打擊長度爲 330 米，它仍然處於開放狀態。
- 史蒂夫區的特點是大尺度的二氧化硅蝕變和相關的礦化，其中包含更多更高品位的局部區域。
- 23STVDD003 被攔截了 10.00 m 的 3.01 g/t Au 從 18.00 m 的核心長度開始（完整的檢測結果見表 1）。
- 23STVDD005 被攔截了 60.24 m，0.78 g/t Au 包括 6.63 m 的 3.49 g/t Au，以及 71.00 m 0.71 g/t 包括 26.00 m 的 1.20 g/t Au。
- Steve Zone的最新發現是內部目標生成工作的結果，不僅凸顯了該區的潛力，也凸顯了我們地區規模的土地一攬子計劃中廣泛的勘探機會。
Ewan Webster, President and CEO, commented, "Our exploration efforts at the Ranch Project are revealing remarkable potential, as demonstrated by the latest findings from the Steve Zone. The 2023 drilling, building upon our 2022 discovery, establishes mineralization from surface to an impressive depth of 400 metres and a strike length of 330 metres. With a total of just eight widely spaced drill holes into the Steve Zone over the past two years, there's substantial upside potential to develop this into a significant deposit. The initial results at Steve share similarities with other zones at Ranch, and what's particularly promising is the presence of localized higher-grade zones, hinting at the possibility of Bonanza Zone-grade mineralization within this larger system, reinforcing the extensive exploration opportunities across our land package."
總裁兼首席執行官伊萬·韋伯斯特評論說：“正如Steve Zone的最新發現所證明的那樣，我們在牧場項目的勘探工作顯示出巨大的潛力。2023年的鑽探建立在我們2022年的發現的基礎上，確定了從地表到令人印象深刻的400米深度和330米的礦化長度。在過去的兩年中，史蒂夫區（Steve Zone）總共只有八個間隔很寬的鑽孔，因此將其開發成重要礦牀具有很大的上行潛力。Steve的初步結果與Ranch的其他區域有相似之處，特別令人鼓舞的是，局部高品位區域的存在，這表明在這個更大的系統中有可能出現Bonanza區級礦化，從而增強了我們整個地塊的廣泛勘探機會。”
The Steve Zone forms a local topographic high, the resistive feature is the result of silicification of the volcanic host rock (Figure 1). In 2022 this area was drilled as a conceptual exploration target identified through mapped alteration, surface rock samples yielding between 0.53 and 2.91 g/t Au, spatially overlapping soil geochemical anomalies (Ag, As, Sb, Mo, W, Pb, and Zn), and intersecting structural lineaments interpreted from ground geophysics (magnetics and induced polarization-IP). The 2022 discovery of the Steve Zone was delineated by two drillholes spaced 220 m apart, one of which returned 119.20 m of 0.97 g/t Au beginning ~350 m below surface (see news release from January 12, 2023).
Steve Zone 形成局部地形高點，其電阻特徵是火山主巖硅化的結果（圖 1）。2022 年，該區域被作爲概念性勘探目標進行鑽探，通過測繪改動、產量介於 0.53 到 2.91 g/t Au 之間的表層岩石樣本、空間重疊的土壤地球化學異常（銀、銻、鉬、W、鉛和鋅）以及從地面地球物理學（磁學和感應極化-IP）解釋的相交結構線條來確定。2022 年史蒂夫區的發現由兩個間隔 220 米的鑽孔劃定，其中一個鑽孔從地表下約 350 米處返回 119.20 米的 0.97 g/t Au（參見 2023 年 1 月 12 日發佈的新聞稿）。
In 2023, drilling aimed to expand upon the 2022 discovery drillholes, confirming up-dip and along-strike continuity of mineralized zones. The results validate the widespread presence of silica and advanced argillic alteration assemblages, encompassing broad intervals of mineralization and narrower zones of higher grade. Mineralization coincides with silica±dickite, a clay mineral indicative of acidic conditions. Localized high-grade mineralization is more commonly associated with hydrothermal breccias and localized increases in quartz-barite and sooty sulphide veining.
2023年，鑽探的目標是擴大2022年的發現鑽孔，確認礦化帶的向上傾角和沿走向連續性。結果證實了二氧化硅和先進的陶瓷蝕變組合體的廣泛存在，包括較寬的礦化間隔和較窄的較高品位區域。礦化與二氧化硅±dickite相吻合，這是一種表示酸性條件的粘土礦物。局部高品位礦化通常與熱液角礫岩以及石英-重晶石和煙硫化物礦脈的局部增加有關。

Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Rob L'Heureux, P.Geol. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Drill intervals with visible gold were assayed using metallic screening. Rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.
樣本的結果在加拿大溫哥華的ALS全球實驗室（地球化學部）（經ISO/IEC 17025:2017 認證的設施）進行了分析。抽樣計劃由公司人員在P.Geol Rob L'Heureux的指導下進行。在所有樣本的運輸和儲存過程中保持了安全的監管鏈。在需要時使用原子發射光譜法和重力法表面處理（+10 g/t Au）的火焰分析法對金進行檢測。使用金屬篩查法測定了可見金的鑽探間隔。露頭/基岩的岩屑樣本自然是選擇性的，可能不能代表項目中存在的礦化。

About Thesis Gold Inc.
關於 Thesis Gold Inc
Thesis Gold, following its strategic merger with Benchmark Metals, is unlocking the combined potential of the Ranch and Lawyers Gold-Silver Projects in the Toodoggone mining district of north central British Columbia, Canada. A 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Lawyers project alone projected an open-pit mining operation yielding an average of 163,000 gold equivalent ounces annually over a 12-year span1. By integrating the Ranch project, the company aims to enhance the economics and bolster the overall project's potential. Central to this ambition is the 2023 50,000-metre drill program, which aims to define the high-grade underground resource at Lawyers and augment the near-surface high-grade deposits at Ranch. The company's roadmap includes releasing a combined Ranch-Lawyers resource estimate by Q2 2024, with an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment slated for Q3 2024. Through these strategic moves, Thesis Gold aspires to elevate the Ranch-Lawyers project to the forefront of global precious metals ventures.
Thesis Gold在與Benchmark Metals進行戰略合併後，正在釋放加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞省中北部圖多貢礦區的Ranch and Lawyers金銀項目的綜合潛力。僅針對Lawyers項目的2022年初步經濟評估就預測，露天採礦作業在12年內平均每年產出16.3萬盎司的黃金當量盎司1。通過整合牧場項目，該公司的目標是提高經濟性並增強整個項目的潛力。這一雄心壯志的核心是2023年的5萬米鑽探計劃，該計劃旨在定義Lawyers的高品位地下資源，並增加Ranch的近地表高品位礦牀。該公司的路線圖包括在2024年第二季度之前發佈Ranch-Lawyers的綜合資源估算，最新的初步經濟評估定於2024年第三季度發佈。通過這些戰略舉措，Thesis Gold希望將Ranch-Lawyers項目提升到全球貴金屬企業的最前沿。
