VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2024 / SNOWLINE GOLD CORP (TSXV:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the " Company " or " Snowline ") is pleased to announce discovery of a new reduced-intrusion related gold system (RIRGS) target 12 km from its Valley discovery on its Rogue Project in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Analytical results received from the 2023 surface exploration program at the Company's new Aurelius target reveal an open, 2,000 m long by up to 500 m wide zone of anomalous gold values in talus fines and soils, with concentrations of up to 14.9 g/t Au complemented by anomalous values for RIRGS pathfinder elements bismuth and tellurium. Rock chip samples from outcrops roughly 235 m apart averaging 2.01 g/t Au over 17.0 m (open) and 2.31 g/t Au over 14.0 m (true widths not known) demonstrate the potential for significant scale and a local source to the anomaly. Based on these results, Aurelius is a high priority exploration target at Rogue and a potential drill target in Snowline's upcoming 2024 exploration program.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華/ACCESSWIRE/2024年2月20日/SNOWLINE GOLD CORP（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：SNWGF）（“公司” 或 “Snowline”）欣然宣佈，在加拿大育空地區的Rogue項目中發現了一個新的減少入侵相關黃金系統（RIRGS），目標是距離其山谷發現12公里。該公司新的奧勒留斯目標2023年地表勘探計劃獲得的分析結果顯示，塔魯斯細粉和土壤中存在一個長2,000米、寬多達500米的空曠金值區域，金的濃度高達14.9 g/t，再加上RIRGS探路者元素鉍和鉭的異常值。來自相隔約235米的露頭的岩屑樣本，在17.0米（空曠處）上平均爲2.01克/噸金，在14.0米以上（真實寬度未知）上平均爲2.31克/噸金，這表明該異常有可能出現大規模和局部來源。根據這些結果，Aurelius是Rogue的高優先勘探目標，也是Snowline即將到來的2024年勘探計劃的潛在鑽探目標。
"We are excited to see such strong and consistent gold numbers from the field team's discovery at Aurelius," said Scott Berdahl, CEO & Director of Snowline. "The scale, consistency and geochemistry of the surface anomaly-which remains open-demonstrates a strong gold-bearing hydrothermal system driven by a nearby intrusion. The outcrop samples show that the country rock hosts gold mineralization, a typical feature of reduced-intrusion related gold systems. Thus, we have two immediate exploration targets: country rock-hosted mineralization directly outcropping at Aurelius and driving the gold anomalism over a large area, and the potential for an intact, near-surface Valley-like intrusion-hosted target. Valley itself is visible from the new target along a prominent structural corridor that connects the two locations-we consider Aurelius a prospective location for a sibling discovery."
Snowline首席執行官兼董事斯科特·伯達爾表示：“我們很高興看到實地團隊在奧勒留斯發現的金礦數量如此強勁而穩定。”“地表異常的規模、一致性和地球化學性質仍然開放，表明了附近入侵驅動的強大含金熱液系統。露頭樣本顯示，該鄉村岩石具有金礦化作用，這是與減少侵入相關的金礦系統的典型特徵。因此，我們有兩個直接的勘探目標：在奧勒留斯直接露出鄉村岩石的礦化並推動大片區域的金異常，以及可能形成一個完好無損的、類似山谷地表的侵入性目標。從新目標沿着連接這兩個地點的突出結構走廊可以看到山谷本身——我們認爲奧勒留斯是兄弟發現的潛在地點。”
Grid and contour sampling of talus fine and soils at Aurelius delineates an open, 2,000 x 500 m zone of consistently elevated to anomalous gold concentrations, to a maximum of 14.9 g/t Au in talus fines. Eighty-nine of 192 samples (46%) returned >0.05 g/t Au, with 62 of these exceeding 0.1 g/t Au. Strong results along the southern, southeastern and northwestern limits of the survey suggest potential for a larger target area, as do anomalous talus fine results to the southwest of the main anomaly (Figure 1) and high gold values in historical stream sediment samples from surrounding drainages. Gold values at Aurelius have elevated bismuth (up to 352 ppm) and tellurium (up to 21.9 ppm) values along with generally low levels of arsenic-a geochemical signature similar to that of Snowline's Valley discovery. Elevated to anomalous concentrations of tungsten, silver, lead and copper are also present and correlate with gold.
在奧勒留斯對滑石細和土壤進行網格和輪廓採樣描繪了一個 2,000 x 500 米的開闊區域，金濃度持續升高至異常，塔洛斯細粉中金的最大濃度爲14.9 g/t。192個樣本中有89個（46％）返回的金含量超過0.05克/噸，其中62個樣本的金含量超過0.1克/噸。調查的南部、東南部和西北部邊界的強勁結果表明，目標區域有可能擴大，主要異常西南部的異常塔洛斯精細結果（圖1）以及來自周圍排水系統的歷史溪流沉積物樣本中的高金值也是如此。奧勒留斯的黃金價值使鉍值（高達352 ppm）和釷（高達21.9 ppm）值升高，砷含量普遍較低，這種地球化學特徵與雪蓮谷發現的相似。鎢、銀、鉛和銅的濃度升高到異常濃度也存在並與金相關。
Two exposed outcrops at Aurelius were sampled by continuous rock chip sampling, across distances of 100 m and 22 m respectively (Figure 1). The outcrops themselves are roughly 235 m apart. The 100 m section, sampled in 2 m subsections, returned a continuously mineralized interval of 14.0 m averaging 2.31 g/t Au and 21.1 g/t Ag, including 4.0 m @ 3.59 g/t Au and 10.2 g/t Ag, and 2.0 m @ 5.49 g/t Au and 82.9 g/t Ag, along with other zones of elevated gold values (0.1 g/t to 0.4 g/t Au, with one additional 2.0 m subsection @ 3.48 g/t Au). The 22 m section, sampled in 1 m subsections, returned a continuously mineralized interval of 17.0 m averaging 2.01 g/t Au, including 2.0 m @ 4.22 g/t Au, and 2.0 m @ 4.94 g/t Au at the open edge of the 22 m section. These rock chip samples were taken by hand using rock hammers and are thus not as representative as drill core samples. True widths for the mineralized intervals are not known, but the samples were oriented nearly perpendicular to north-south and northeast-southwest structures that appear to control mineralization.
通過連續岩屑採樣，對奧勒留斯兩處裸露露的露頭進行了採樣，取樣距離分別爲 100 米和 22 米（圖 1）。露頭本身相隔約235米。在 2 m 小節中採樣的 100 m 部分返回了 14.0 m 的連續礦化區間，平均爲 2.31 g/t Au 和 21.1 g/t Ag，包括 4.0 m @ 3.59 g/t Au 和 10.2 g/t Ag，以及 2.0 m @ 5.49 g/t Au 和 82.9 g/t Ag，以及其他金值升高的區域（0.1 g/t 至 0.4 g/t Au），另外還有一個 2.0 m 分段 @ 3.48 g/t Au）。在 1 m 小節中採樣的 22 m 部分返回了 17.0 m 的連續礦化區間，平均爲 2.01 g/t Au，包括 2.0 m @ 4.22 g/t Au，以及 22 m 段開口邊緣的 2.0 m @ 4.94 g/t Au。這些岩屑樣本是使用巖錘手工採集的，因此不像鑽芯樣本那樣具有代表性。礦化區間的真實寬度尚不清楚，但樣品的取向幾乎垂直於似乎可以控制礦化的南北和東北-西南的結構。
Aurelius is underlain by a sequence of interlayered Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks, cut by steeply dipping north-south and northeast-southwest structures and altered by fluids from subsequent emplacement of intrusive rocks (Figures 1 and 3). Alteration takes the form of silicification, clay alteration associated with the structures and hornfels in sedimentary rocks. The highest gold values are associated with pervasive silicification in tuff sequences. The target sits 4.5 km west of the mid-Cretaceous Old Cabin Pluton. Airborne magnetics and the observation of outcropping granodiorite roughly 600 m west of the target highlight the presence of additional intrusive rocks in the vicinity of the anomaly, and the potential for a Valley-style mineralized intrusion located near surface at Aurelius.
奧勒留斯由一系列層間古生代沉積岩和火山岩所覆蓋，這些岩石由南北和東北-西南的陡峭結構切割，並被隨後侵入性岩石堆積產生的流體所改變（圖 1 和 3）。變化以硅化、與沉積岩中的結構和角巖相關的粘土蝕變的形式出現。最高的金值與凝灰岩序列中普遍的硅化有關。目標位於白堊紀中期 Old Cabin Pluton 以西 4.5 公里處。空中磁學和對目標以西約600米處露出的花崗閃長巖的觀測表明，異常點附近還有其他侵入性岩石，並且有可能在奧勒留斯地表附近出現山谷式礦化入侵。
The Company plans to follow up on the target aggressively in 2024, with additional surface sampling and mapping, an airborne ZTEM geophysical survey to assist in targeting, and potentially Phase I drilling.
該公司計劃在2024年積極跟蹤該目標，進行更多的地表採樣和測繪，進行空中ZTEM地球物理調查以協助確定目標，並可能進行第一階段鑽探。
Historical work at Aurelius is sparse. The "Horn" mineral occurrence (Yukon Minfile 105O 010) roughly 1 km west of Aurelius was noted and sampled as a copper occurrence in 1970. In 1982, two soil lines intersected parts of the anomaly, returning high gold values that have not been directly verified by the Company. Snowline had previously identified the broader area west of the Old Cabin pluton, including Aurelius, as a primary target area for exploration based on historical results and magnetic anomalism. The discovery of Aurelius marks the delineation of a new RIRGS target on the Rogue Project.
奧勒留斯的歷史著作很少。1970年，人們發現了位於奧勒留斯以西約1公里處的 “角” 礦物礦物（育空地區Minfile 105O 010），並作爲銅礦點進行了採樣。1982年，兩條土壤線與異常部分相交，返回了該公司尚未直接證實的高金值。根據歷史結果和磁異常，Snowline此前曾將包括奧勒留斯在內的Old Cabin巖體以西的更廣闊區域確定爲主要的勘探目標區域。奧勒留斯的發現標誌着 Rogue Project 中一個新的 RIRGS 目標的描繪。
With steep, rocky terrain and poor soil development on parts of Aurelius, many surface geochemistry samples are classified as talus fines. Talus fines samples are produced by mechanical weathering of rocks and are less modified by chemical weathering than typical soils. Some elements in talus fine samples may have stronger geochemical responses than soils from over a bedrock geochemical anomaly. Talus fine samples are also more susceptible to a sampling bias wherein more easily weathered mineralized zones, such as sulphide-rich veins, can contribute a larger portion of the talus fine sediment load than the more durable and relatively barren country rock, resulting in a concentration of associated elements like gold.
由於奧勒留斯部分地區地形陡峭多巖且土壤發育不良，許多地表地球化學樣本被歸類爲滑石粉。Talus 細粉樣品由岩石的機械風化作用產生，與普通土壤相比，化學風化對樣品的改變較少。塔魯斯精細樣品中的某些元素可能比來自基岩地球化學異常的土壤具有更強的地球化學響應。塔魯斯精細樣品也更容易受到採樣偏差的影響，即更容易風化的礦化區域，例如富含硫化物的礦脈，比起更耐久和相對貧乏的鄉村岩石，可以佔塔魯斯細沉積物負荷的更大比例，從而導致金等相關元素的集中。
ABOUT ROGUE
關於 ROGUE
Snowline's flagship Rogue Project hosts the Valley target, a newly discovered, bulk tonnage style, reduced intrusion-related gold system (RIRGS), with geological similarities to multi-million-ounce deposits currently in production such as Kinross's Fort Knox Mine in Alaska and Victoria Gold's Eagle Mine in the Yukon. Early drill results demonstrate unusually high gold grades for such a system, present near surface across drill intersections of hundreds of metres. Gold is associated with bismuthinite and telluride minerals hosted in sheeted quartz vein arrays within and along the margins of a one-kilometer-scale, mid-Cretaceous aged Mayo-suite intrusion. Valley is an early-stage exploration project without a resource estimate, and while initial results are encouraging, the presence or absence of an economically viable orebody cannot be determined until additional work is completed.
Snowline的旗艦Rogue Project擁有山谷目標，這是一種新發現的散裝噸位、減少了入侵相關的黃金系統（RIRGS），其地質與目前在產的數百萬盎司礦牀有相似之處，例如阿拉斯加的金羅斯的諾克斯堡礦和育空地區的維多利亞黃金的鷹礦。早期的鑽探結果表明，這種系統的金品位異常高，存在於數百米的鑽探交叉點的地表附近。金與含鉍和特柳化物礦物有關，這些礦物存在於一千米級、白堊紀中期的梅奧套件入侵的邊緣和邊緣的石英脈陣列中。Valley是一個未進行資源估算的早期勘探項目，儘管初步結果令人鼓舞，但在完成額外工作之前，無法確定是否存在經濟上可行的礦體。
The Rogue Project area hosts multiple intrusions that are geologically similar to Valley along with widespread gold anomalism in stream sediment, soil and rock samples. Elsewhere, RIRGS deposits are known to occur in clusters. The Rogue Project is considered by the Company to have district-scale potential for additional reduced intrusion-related gold systems.
Rogue Project區域有多個地質學上與山谷相似的入侵物，並且在溪流沉積物、土壤和岩石樣本中存在廣泛的金異常。在其他地方，已知RIRGS沉積物是成群發生的。該公司認爲，Rogue項目具有區域規模的潛力，可以進一步減少與入侵相關的黃金系統。
