TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 6, 2020 / Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") (TSX:ANX)(OTCQX:ANXGF) is pleased to announce drill results from an ongoing 15,000-metre drill program ("Drill Program") announced on September 3, 2020, at its 100%-owned Goldboro Gold Project ("Goldboro" or the "Project") in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Drill Program is designed to convert priority Inferred Mineral Resources, considered proximal to planned development in the feasibility study, into Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of the Goldboro Deposit.

The results to date continue to confirm significant high-grade gold zones in key areas being considered in the feasibility study, but excitingly they are being found within much wider zones of gold mineralization. These indications of broader mineralized zones could positively impact the mine planning work currently being carried out as part of the optimized feasibility study by reducing inherent mine dilution and increasing the contained number of near-surface ounces.

Selected composited highlights from the Drill Program include:

  • 4.16 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 22.8 metres (122.2 to 145.0 metres) including 45.30 g/t gold over 0.5 metres in hole BR-20-131;
  • 17.95 g/t gold over 2.5 metres (84.4 to 86.9 metres) including 87.50 g/t gold over 0.5 metres in hole BR-20-128;
  • 3.55 g/t gold over 10.9 metres (234.0 to 244.9 metres) including 26.43 g/t gold over 1.0 metre in hole BR-20-120;
  • 3.92 g/t gold over 8.2 metres (37.0 to 45.2 metres) including 24.50 g/t gold over 1.0 metre in hole BR-20-131;
  • 59.21 g/t gold over 1.0 metre (113.0 to 114.0 metres) in hole BR-20-117;
  • 2.28 g/t gold over 13.0 metre (289.0 to 302.0 metres) including 22.28 g/t gold over 1.0 metre in hole BR-20-116;
  • 1.45 g/t gold over 18.0 metre (269.0 to 287.0 metres) including 9.39 g/t gold over 1.0 metres in hole BR-20-119; and
  • 6.87 g/t gold over 4.3 metres (97.5 to 101.8 metres) including 27.30 g/t gold over 1.0 metre in hole BR-20-132.

A table of selected composited intersections from the Drill Program are shown in Table 1 below.

"We continue to identify significant opportunities to add value to the Goldboro Gold Project through the optimization process, who have brought fresh eyes to this exciting development project. The expanded and ongoing infill Drill Program to date has confirmed that the key areas considered in the feasibility study contain significant high-grade gold zones, and importantly we are also seeing that they are commonly found within much wider zones of gold mineralization. These indications of broader mineralized zones could positively impact the mine planning work as part of the optimized feasibility study by reducing inherent mine dilution and increasing the number of ounces per vertical metre. We currently have three drill rigs in operation to complete the 15,000 metre Drill Program and remain focused on the goal of upgrading significant resources proximal to planned near-surface development, which we believe has the potential to positively impact the economics of the feasibility study."

~ Kevin Bullock, President and CEO, Anaconda Mining Inc.

To date, a total of 5,678.5 metres in 28 drill holes (BR-20-105 to BR-20-132) have been completed under the Drill Program, with assays from drill holes BR-20-105 to BR-20-114 previously reported in a news release dated September 3, 2020. Current results for drill holes BR-20-115 to BR-20-132, 3,550.5 metres in 18 drill holes, include intersections of mineralized zones within the East Goldbrook Gold System ("EG Gold System") and drill holes BR-20-125 to BR-20-132 are within the West Goldbrook Gold System ("WG Gold System") as further detailed in Table 1 and Exhibit A. A total of nine (9) visible gold occurrences were observed in these drillholes which consistently intersected mineralized belts as predicted by the current resource model. Mineralized intersections in both the EG Gold System and within the WG Gold System commonly included narrow high-grade intercepts within broader zones of gold mineralization.

The Drill Program is funded using existing flow through funds but has also benefited from a grant received from the Government of Nova Scotia through a Mineral Resources Development Fund, shared funding exploration grant MRDF-2020-SF-035.

The Company has critically considered logistical matters given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure that this Drill Program and any other programs are executed in a way that ensures the absolute health and safety of our personnel, contractors, and the communities where we operate.
