Snowline Gold Corp. Introduces 100% Owned Tosh Gold Project, Southwest Yukon
Snowline Gold Corp. announces updates on its 1,630-hectare Tosh Gold Project in Yukon, featuring promising mineralization with rock samples yielding up to 6.8 g/t gold and 1,146 g/t silver. The project includes extensive soil anomalies stretching over 2.1 km, with peaks of 5.8 g/t gold and 62.1 g/t silver. These findings showcase significant potential for advanced exploration and support the company's strategy to maximize shareholder value.
- Rock samples show potential with grades up to 6.8 g/t Au and 1,146 g/t Ag.
- Discovery of extensive soil anomalies indicating promising gold and silver concentrations.
- Geological similarities to successful nearby projects, indicating strong exploration potential.
- None.
- 1,630-hectare property located in an underexplored part of the same geological terrane as Newmont's Coffee Gold project and White Gold's projects
- Mineralized rock samples up to 6.8 g/t gold and up to 1,146 g/t silver over a 15 kilometre area
- Multiple open-ended soil anomalies at least 2.1 kilometres in length with highlight soil concentrations of 5.8 g/t gold and 62.1 g/t silver
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 23, 2021 / SNOWLINE GOLD CORP. (CSE:SGD)(OTC PINK:SNWGF) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to provide additional information on its
Figure 1: Historical exploration highlights on the Tosh Project's "Yarrow" zone, where gold-bearing breccias are accompanied by high silver concentrations. Note that grab samples are selective in nature and do not necessarily reflect overall grades. Dashed lines roughly outline a zone of soil concentrations generally exceeding 10 ppb Au, to a local maximum of 90.2 ppb Au. The soil anomaly, along with that of the adjacent "Peska" trend, is shown in more detail in Figure 2.
"The Tosh Project speaks to the depth of Snowline's exploration portfolio," said Scott Berdahl, Snowline's COO. "Widespread prospecting discoveries accompanied by kilometres-scale, multi-element soil anomalies in a geological and structural setting similar to White Gold's camp attests to the Tosh Project's scale and potential. The encouraging historical results justify advanced exploration."
Snowline is reviewing its newly acquired project portfolio and is focused on planning and prioritizing its exploration to maximize shareholder value. Specifically, it is examining multiple options for its non-core assets, including targeted exploration and joint venture arrangements.
The Tosh Project bears many hallmarks of a significant orogenic gold camp. Host rocks are high-strain schists and intercalated marbles of the Yukon Tanana terrane, the geologic province that hosts two recently discovered million-ounce-plus gold deposits (including Newmont's "Coffee" deposit, ~115 km to the north of the Tosh Project) and from which over 12.5 million ounces of placer gold has been recovered in the Klondike goldfields. Importantly, major regional faults cut Cretaceous and Paleogene intrusive rocks in the vicinity of the Tosh Project.
Grid soil sampling (1,379 samples) at the Tosh Project revealed two prominent NW-SE trending zones of anomalous (defined by 90th percentile gold values >27 ppb Au) multi-element geochemistry, "Peska" and "Koose," separated by 12 kilometres of prospective ground. Gold in soil values assay up to 5.8 g/t Au at Koose and 1.6 g/t Au at Peska. These zones extend roughly 2 kilometres each and remain open in both directions on trend. A historical ground-based VLF electromagnetic geophysical survey over part of the Peska zone suggests the presence of continuous conductive structures. These structures may correspond to an anomaly that spans at least 500 metres, extending along trend off both edges of the survey. Out of 66 rock samples at Peska and Yarrow, 14 assayed higher than 1.0 g/t Au and 9 above 100 g/t Ag. Additional prospective areas at Tosh have yet to be thoroughly explored.
The Tosh Project is located 20 kilometres from the paved, all-season Alaska Highway. Follow up exploration at the Tosh Project will focus on delineating high priority drill targets.

About Snowline Gold Corp.
Snowline Gold Corp. is a Yukon Territory based gold exploration company. The Company is exploring its flagship Einarson and Rogue gold projects that cover ~64,000 hectares in the prospective yet underexplored Selwyn Basin. Snowline's projects all lie in the prolific Tintina gold province that hosts multiple million-ounce-plus gold mines and deposits, from Kinross' Fort Knox to Newmont's Coffee. Snowline's first-mover claim position presents a unique opportunity to explore and expand a new greenfield, district-scale gold system.
