Independence Gold Expands 3Ts Project with Strategic Mineral Claims Acquisition
Independence Gold Corp. (TSXV: IGO) has announced a significant expansion of its 3Ts Project in central British Columbia through the acquisition of seventeen additional mineral claims. The new claims cover 28,100 hectares, bringing the total project area to approximately 35,486 hectares across thirty-one claims.
The expanded 3Ts Project, located 185 kilometers southwest of Prince George and 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold's Blackwater Mine, encompasses a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district. The project features nineteen mineralized veins with strike lengths ranging from 50m to over 1,100m and true widths up to 32m.
The newly acquired claims contain Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks, matching the geological setting of existing mineralized veins. Historical data shows anomalous concentrations of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc in sediment samples. The company plans to conduct summer exploration including airborne geophysics, detailed mapping, and prospecting to identify high-priority targets.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 31, 2025) - Independence Gold Corp. (TSXV: IGO) ("Independence Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of seventeen additional mineral claims covering an area of 28,100 hectares ("ha"), significantly expanding its 3Ts Project ("3Ts") in central British Columbia. The 3Ts Project is located approximately 185 kilometres ("km") southwest of Prince George, British Columbia and is now comprised of thirty-one mineral claims covering approximately 35,486 ha in the Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. The project is situated 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.'s Blackwater Mine and covers a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz- carbonate vein district within which nineteen individual mineralized veins, ranging from 50 m to more than 1,100 m in strike length and with true widths up to 32 m have been identified.

The newly acquired claims encompass ground underlain by Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks, which is the same geological setting that hosts the known mineralized veins at 3Ts. A comprehensive review of historical geochemical data has identified anomalous gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc concentrations in sediment samples. Many of these geochemical anomalies correspond with structural features identified in historical geophysical surveys, displaying characteristics similar to the mineralized host structures within the existing 3Ts Project.
The prevailing geological model for the 3Ts region suggests that upwelling magma created dome-like surface features. As these magma bodies deflated, arcuate fault structures formed around their peripheries, providing key fluid pathways for mineral deposition. These structural controls are believed to be fundamental in the formation of the high-grade gold-silver veins at 3Ts and will serve as a primary exploration focus for the newly acquired ground. Independence Gold is planning an exploration program for the summer that will include airborne geophysics, detailed mapping and prospecting to identify high-priority target zones.
