Falcon Gold Finalizes Third and Fourth Drill Hole at Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project, And Prepares for the Fifth Drill Pad
Falcon Gold Corp (TSXV: FG) (OTC: FGLDF) has completed its third drill hole and is finalizing the fourth at the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland. The company is preparing to move to Pad #5, targeting a high-priority airborne electromagnetic anomaly coincident with a strong magnetic response.
Recent drilling has revealed increased sulphide mineralization, including blebby to stringer sulphides, pyritic vuggy smoky quartz veins, and pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite mineralization. These findings suggest proximity to a larger mineralized body with potential for higher-grade copper and gold mineralization.
Despite challenging weather conditions, Falcon has established an on-site base camp to accelerate drilling operations. Core samples are being sent to IOS-accredited Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for priority processing.
Falcon Gold Corp (TSXV: FG) (OTC: FGLDF) ha completato il suo terzo foro di perforazione e sta finalizzando il quarto presso il Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland. L'azienda si sta preparando a spostarsi sul Pad #5, puntando a un'anomalia elettromagnetica aerea di alta priorità coincidente con una forte risposta magnetica.
Le recenti perforazioni hanno rivelato un'aumentata mineralizzazione da solfuri, inclusi solfuri a bolla e a filamenti, vene di quarzo fumoso pirico e mineralizzazioni di pirite, pirrotite e calcopirite. Questi risultati suggeriscono la prossimità a un corpo mineralizzato più grande con potenziale per una mineralizzazione di rame e oro di qualità superiore.
Nonostante le condizioni meteorologiche difficili, Falcon ha stabilito un campo base in loco per accelerare le operazioni di perforazione. I campioni di nucleo vengono inviati al laboratorio Eastern Analytical, accreditato da IOS, a Springdale, Newfoundland per un'elaborazione prioritaria.

악천후에도 불구하고 팔콘은 시추 작업을 가속화하기 위해 현장 기지 캠프를 설립했습니다. 코어 샘플은 우선 처리하기 위해 뉴펀들랜드의 스프링데일에 있는 IOS 인증의 이스턴 분석 연구소로 보내지고 있습니다.
Falcon Gold Corp (TSXV: FG) (OTC: FGLDF) a achevé son troisième trou de forage et finalise le quatrième au Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project à Terre-Neuve. L'entreprise se prépare à se déplacer vers le Pad #5, ciblant une anomalie électromagnétique aérienne de haute priorité coïncidant avec une forte réponse magnétique.
Les forages récents ont révélé une augmentation de la minéralisation en sulfures, y compris des sulfures en boules et en filaments, des veines de quartz fumé pyritique, ainsi que des minéralisations de pyrite, de pyrrhotite et de chalcopyrite. Ces découvertes suggèrent la proximité d'un corps minéralisé plus grand avec un potentiel de minéralisation en cuivre et en or de plus haute qualité.
Malgré des conditions météorologiques difficiles, Falcon a établi un camp de base sur site pour accélérer les opérations de forage. Des échantillons de carottes sont envoyés au laboratoire Eastern Analytical, accrédité par l'IOS, à Springdale, Terre-Neuve pour un traitement prioritaire.
Falcon Gold Corp (TSXV: FG) (OTC: FGLDF) hat sein drittes Bohrloch abgeschlossen und finalisiert das vierte im Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Neufundland. Das Unternehmen bereitet sich darauf vor, zu Pad #5 zu wechseln, wobei ein hochpriorisiertes luftgestütztes elektromagnetisches Anomalie angestrebt wird, das mit einer starken magnetischen Reaktion übereinstimmt.
Die jüngsten Bohrungen haben eine erhöhte Sulfidmineralisierung offenbart, einschließlich blasenförmiger und fadenförmiger Sulfide, pyritischer, rauchiger Quarzadern sowie Mineralisierungen aus Pyrit, Pyrrhotin und Chalcopyrit. Diese Ergebnisse deuten auf die Nähe zu einem größeren mineralisierten Körper mit Potenzial für hochgradige Kupfer- und Goldmineralisierungen hin.
Trotz herausfordernder Wetterbedingungen hat Falcon ein Basislager vor Ort eingerichtet, um die Bohrarbeiten zu beschleunigen. Kernproben werden zur priorisierten Verarbeitung an das von IOS akkreditierte Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Neufundland, gesendet.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 27, 2025) - Falcon Gold Corp. (TSXV: FG) (OTC Pink: FGLDF) (FSE: 3FA) ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its third drill hole at the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland. Drilling on the fourth hole is now being finalized, and preparations are underway to move the drill rig to Pad #5, marking a critical step forward in Falcon's aggressive and systematic exploration of this highly prospective copper-gold system.
This progress follows Falcon's March 13, 2025, release of core images from its late 2024 exploration program. Despite facing unprecedented rains and early spring conditions, Falcon has taken proactive steps to mitigate logistical challenges by establishing an on-site base camp. With this infrastructure in place, the team is now well-positioned to accelerate drilling and unlock the full potential of Great Burnt's mineralized system.
Drilling updates and Key observations:
"We are highly encouraged by the latest results from Great Burnt," stated Karim Rayani, CEO of Falcon Gold. "The geological indicators we are seeing – particularly the significant increase in sulphide mineralization – strongly suggest we are closing in on a major mineralized system. This aligns with our technical team's expectation, reinforcing confidence in our exploration model."
Hole #5 represents one of the most exciting drill targets in the program. It is designed to test a high-priority airborne electromagnetic (EM) anomaly coincident with a strong magnetic response – a textbook geophysical signature for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, which are known for their high copper and gold content.
If Hole #5 confirms a direct link between this anomaly and the expanding mineralized zones already identified, it could represent a significant discovery, further strengthening the project's potential as a major copper-gold asset.
Increasing Sulphide Mineralization: A Strong Indicator of System Expansion
Recent drilling has revealed a clear uptick in sulphide content, an encouraging development as Falcon moves towards the heart of the mineralized zone. Notable observations include:
Blebby to stringer sulphides, transitioning to semi-massive and massive sulphide bands
Pyritic, vuggy, smoky quartz veins, which were not present in earlier drill holes and are strong indicators of a gold-bearing hydrothermal system
Pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite mineralization, confirming the presence of a robust copper-gold system
These results strongly suggest that Falcon is vectoring towards a larger mineralized body, with the potential for both higher-grade copper and gold mineralization.

Next Steps: Unlocking Great Burnt's Full Potential
With drilling progressing on schedule, Falcon Gold is prioritizing:
Hole #5's completion, targeting a strong EM anomaly with the potential to significantly expand the known mineralized system
Rapid core analysis, with samples being shipped to IOS-accredited Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for priority processing
Strategic drill planning, incorporating these latest results to refine and optimize future drill targets
Falcon Gold is committed to unlocking the full potential of the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project, and all signs point to continued success. With each hole, the team is gaining a deeper understanding of this mineralized system, and upcoming assay results will be pivotal in shaping the next phase of exploration.
