GGX Gold Drilling Gold Drop Property Greenwood Mining Camp
GGX Gold Corp. (OTCQB: GGXXF) reports progress on its Gold Drop property exploration in British Columbia. The drilling program has completed 1,834.5 meters in 11 holes, including a significant drill hole at 786.1 meters depth targeting a geophysical anomaly. Results from the first samples did not yield significant findings. The C.O.D. vein drilling produced notable segments with gold and silver grades, including 10.15 g/t gold and 142 g/t silver. Assays from additional trenches and a planned drilling at the Ken mine are forthcoming, indicating potential for further mineral discovery.
- First trench assays showed 10.15 g/t gold and 142 g/t silver, indicating mineralization.
- Drilling program completed 1,834.5 meters in 11 holes, showing progress in exploration.
- Pending assays from new veins and historical sites may reveal additional valuable mineralization.
- No significant results were obtained from the initial samples of the diamond drill hole.
- Pending assays mean uncertainty regarding the overall success of the exploration efforts.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 20, 2020 / GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV:GGX)(OTCQB:GGXXF)(FRA:3SR2) (the "Company" or "GGX") is pleased to provide an update on its active exploration program at the Gold Drop property in the Greenwood Mining Camp of south-central British Columbia.
The planned drilling program at the Gold Drop property is well underway with 1834.5 meters being completed in 11 holes. The first diamond drill hole was completed at a depth 786.1 metres (2579 feet) to test the airborne geophysical anomaly that was identified by Earth Science Services Corporation of Oshawa, Ontario (ESSCO). Results received so far include samples collected over the first 200 metres of the hole. No significant results were obtained for these samples of selected quartz veins and stringers with associated pyrite.
Drilling on the C.O.D. vein began with 4 holes drilled to test for depth extensions, plus selected sites to in-fill between previous drill intercepts. As of September 30, a total of 1048.4 metres was drilled in 10 holes. The COD structure was intersected at depth where it is developed as a clay altered fault zone. Quartz vein intercepts were obtained in the shallower holes. All assays are currently pending. Further drilling of the COD vein is planned to the south where the alteration zone remains open along strike, and to test the new veins exposed in trenches west of the C.O.D. vein.
For the surface trenching program, the first trench exposed the C.O.D. vein near its southern limit. The exposed structure consisted of a 0.1 metre thick quartz vein containing disseminated pyrite within a 1.0 metre rusty, clay-altered fault zone. Assays received from this material include 10.15, 4.09, 2.99 grams per tonne gold, with the higher sample containing 142 grams per tonne silver. This shows the mineralized C.O.D. vein is present and extends to the bedrock surface beneath the overburden in the area of the high-grade intercepts obtained in 2018 and 2019 (as announced in news releases dated March 18 and October 29, 2019):
- COD18-67: 129 g/t gold, 1,154 g/t silver & 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28 meters core length.
- COD18-70: 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver & 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90 meters core length.
- COD19-19: 17.4 g/t gold, 179 g/t silver & 131 g/t tellurium over 4.13 meters core length.
- COD19-23: 33.4 g/t gold, 331 g/t silver & 179 g/t tellurium over 5.50 meters core length.
Assays are pending from the remaining trenches that exposed two new veins (Perky and Lively veins) located west of the C.O.D. vein, and at the Rhoderick Dhu area. The Perky vein contains visible gold.
Mapping and surface rock chip sampling were also done east of Jewel Lake at historic workings of the Gold Drop, North Star, Silent Friend and Ken mines to determine possibilities for trenching and drilling. Drilling is planned for the Ken mine where visible gold was observed where a previous 2017 sample assayed 297 grams per tonne gold and 1,290 grams per tonne silver Sampling was also done at the Highland Valley vein, located south of the Gold Drop mine, where quartz veins are exposed in historic shafts and pits.

Analyses disclosed in this release were conducted by ALS Global - Geochemistry Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. ALS is an independent, fully accredited commercial laboratory. Gold was determined by the fire assay method using a 50-gram sample weight and AA finish, with over-limits checked using a 50-gram sample weight and gravimetric finish. Other metals were analyzed as part of a 48-element package using a four-acid digestion and determination by ICP-MS.
