Vancouver, British Columbia, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- St. James Gold Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: LORD) (OTCQB: LRDJF) (FSE: BVU3) is pleased to provide a corporate update on its activities for 2021.
Highlights:
- Completion of 2021 drill exploration program on its Florin Gold Project in the Yukon Territory
- Successful capital financings of
$10,000,000 - Expansion of stock listing in the FSE and OTCQB markets
- Successful DTC listing on the OTC market

Following the successful participation of last week’s New Orleans Gold Conference, one of the first large scale in person conferences of its kind in the past 20 months. The Company is awaiting the core drill sample results of its recently completed field season drill program at the Florin Gold Project in the Yukon Territory, Canada. In spite of a late start in the season, the field team completed 3,613 metres of diamond drilling intended to test the projected extensions of mineralization adjacent to the 2.47 million ounce inferred gold resource (170,993,000 tonnes grading 0.45g/t Au with a 0.30g/t Au cut-off).
The current inferred resource extends approximately 900 metres along strike of the Jethro fault which has been traced for five kilometres and is the site of three further, significant geochemical anomalies. In addition to the assay results expected to be received in the coming weeks, the field season saw soil geochemistry surveys completed to fill in previously unsampled areas of the Property, both of which will assist in guiding targets for the proposed 2022 drill campaign.
In addition to the acquisition of the option agreement on the Florin Gold Project, the Company is preparing to explore its properties - Grub Line and Quinn Lake - in Newfoundland, Canada. The Grub Line property, in particular, is situated adjacent to the licenses held by New Found Gold, a company that recently announced a
The Quinn Lake project is well situated along strike from the Valentine Lake gold project operated by Marathon Gold Corp. and is surrounded to the northwest by the highest gold anomalies found in tills by Noranda in 1989. In addition, mineralized boulder trains were reported along the boundary to the southwest by the predecessors of Marathon Gold Corp., and new discoveries were made on adjacent ground to the northeast. Due to complex glacial history of the area and the nature of surficial materials sampled (e.g. gold-rich boulder trains), it is possible that the bedrock sources of gold are located on the Quinn Lake property.
The proposed fieldwork activities planned for Quinn Lake will be the first systematic and interdisciplinary approach to unravel the geology of the area and identify gold mineralization targets that will be drill-tested this summer. A site visit, performed to comply with NI 43-101 reporting on the Quinn Lake property, confirmed good access, moderate topographic and climate conditions and presence of local amenities, all of which are considered conducive to conducting cost-effective exploration programs.
While the Company has been active undertaking field activities, it has also expanded its market outreach by listing on the FSE public exchange and obtaining DTC approval in the US, the latter an important milestone towards broadening its market presence across the United States and enabling securities to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms. The Company has raised
George Drazenovic, CEO, St. James Gold, stated, “We are excited to continue to build on the work completed over the past year. As evidenced by our recent site visit to the Florin Gold Project in the Yukon Territory, we are following up with our commitments and previously stated goals to explore our properties and seek to deliver enhanced value to our shareholders. The easy accessibility of our properties, in particular, will serve as a catalyst for further exploration as we look to ramp up our exploration activities in 2022. In the coming weeks, we will look to announce further developments.”
