Sixty North Gold Mining (CSE: SXTY, OTC Pink: SXNTF) has intersected two gold-bearing quartz veins during development of its Mon Gold Mine. The A-Zone quartz vein was encountered in the 970E crosscut, showing visible gold in a 30 cm wide vein with 3% sulphides. The newly reported DD-Zone, located 10 m west of the A Zone, averages 0.3 to 1.2 m in width with 5% sulphides and visible gold.

Mining operations, which started on June 25, have advanced the Main Ramp by 44 m. The company plans to commence subdrifting on the A-Zone and continue the 970 cross cut. Samples from both zones have been submitted for analysis. A 100 tpd mill has been sourced for future gold recovery operations.

Sixty North Gold Mining (CSE: SXTY, OTC Pink: SXNTF) ha intersecato due venature di quarzo aurifero durante lo sviluppo della sua Miniera d'Oro Mon. La venatura di quarzo A-Zone è stata trovata nel taglio trasversale 970E, mostrando oro visibile in una venatura larga 30 cm con il 3% di solfuri. La nuova DD-Zone, situata a 10 m a ovest della A Zone, ha una larghezza media di 0,3 a 1,2 m con il 5% di solfuri e oro visibile.

Le operazioni minerarie, iniziate il 25 giugno, hanno fatto progredire la Rampa Principale di 44 m. L'azienda prevede di avviare l'estrazione nella A-Zone e continuare il taglio trasversale 970. I campioni di entrambe le zone sono stati inviati per analisi. È stata selezionata una mola da 100 tpd per future operazioni di recupero dell'oro.

Sixty North Gold Mining (CSE: SXTY, OTC Pink: SXNTF)는 금이 함유된 두 개의 석영 vein을 발견했습니다. A-Zone 석영 vein은 970E 교차에서 발견되었으며, 넓이 30cm의 vein에서 3%의 황화물이 포함된 금을 육안으로 확인할 수 있었습니다. 새로운 DD-Zone은 A Zone의 서쪽 10m에 위치하며 평균적으로 0.3~1.2m의 너비를 가지며 5%의 황화물과 육안으로 확인 가능한 금이 포함되어 있습니다.

6월 25일 시작된 채굴 작업은 주요 경사로를 44m 진전시켰습니다. 이 회사는 A-Zone의 잠재적인 광제를 찾고 970 교차를 계속할 계획입니다. 두 지역에서 채취한 샘플은 분석을 위해 제출되었습니다. 향후 금 회수를 위한 100 tpd 규모의 제련소도 마련되었습니다.

Sixty North Gold Mining (CSE: SXTY, OTC Pink: SXNTF) hat zwei goldhaltige Quarzadern während der Entwicklung der Mon Goldmine gefunden. Die A-Zone Quarzader wurde im 970E Querschnitt angetroffen und zeigt sichtbares Gold in einer 30 cm breiten Ader mit 3% Schwefelverbindungen. Die neu berichtete DD-Zone, die 10 m westlich der A-Zone liegt, hat eine durchschnittliche Breite von 0.3 bis 1.2 m mit 5% Schwefelverbindungen und sichtbarem Gold.

Die Abbauarbeiten, die am 25. Juni begonnen haben, haben die Hauptrampe um 44 m vorangebracht. Das Unternehmen plant, mit dem Untertunnelbau in der A-Zone zu beginnen und den 970 Querschnitt fortzusetzen. Proben aus beiden Zonen wurden zur Analyse eingereicht. Eine 100 tpd Mühle wurde für zukünftige Goldgewinnungsmaßnahmen beschafft.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2024) - Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY) (FSE: 2F40) (OTC Pink: SXNTF) (the "Company" or "Sixty North Gold") Sixty North Gold is pleased to announce that two gold zones have been encountered during development of its wholly-owned Mon Gold Mine. The target of this development, the A-Zone quartz vein has been intersected in the 970E crosscut at elevation 212m AMSL, 16 m below the historic West Stope (shown on the graphic below). Visible gold was noted in a 30 cm wide vein dipping steeply to the west with 3% sulphides, pyrrhotite > sphalerite > galena > chalcopyrite > pyrite (key pathfinder minerals for gold at the Mon Gold Mine) and significant visible gold in a 14 m wide intensely potassic-altered gabbro. The A-Zone is exposed on surface where it extends over 100m in strike. Twenty samples from 10 trenches collected by an independent geologist in this vein averaged 116.34 gpt gold over 1.1 m width (Malahoff, 2017). An estimated 10,000 tonnes of this vein was mined to a depth of 15 m below surface to 228m AMSL and 5,000 tonnes was mined from the east limb of the vein averaging 30 gpt gold (NI 43-101 Technical Report, Mon Gold Property, Northwest Territories, Canada, August 3, 2023, author Dr. D. R. Webb, Ph.D., P.Geol., P.Eng.)

The newly reported DD-Zone is located 10 m west of the A Zone and is exposed within the Main Ramp. It is defined by five historic drill holes with grades up to 12 gpt gold over 0.30 m within 1.5 metres grading 3.74 gpt gold and is exposed for 7 m along the west-wall and in the back of the ramp. The DD Zone pinches and swells and sub parallels the A-Zone but dips steeply to the east, averaging 0.3 to 1.2 m in width with 5% sulphides, pyrite > pyrrhotite > sphalerite with trace arsenopyrite and visible gold within a 1 to 2 m characteristic pink alteration enveloping the vein.

Mining starting on June 25 and has advanced the Main Ramp 44 m by slash and drift rounds. All services have been installed, all equipment is functioning well with additional equipment on site in case of mechanical issues. There have been no lost-time accidents. Sixty North Gold plans to commence subdrifting north and south on the A-Zone to collect material for stockpiling. We plan to continue the 970 cross cut another 20 m +/- to the east and drive additional crosscuts into the A-Zone quartz vein to expose more of the vein below the historic stopes on the eastern limb. The A-Zone eastern limb was tested by a number of historic drill holes within 20 m of this area including:

Samples of the A-Zone and DD-Zone have been collected and submitted to independent certified laboratories for analysis, the results of which will be released as received and confirmed.

The Company has also commenced a geotechnical drill program to install thermistors in compliance with its operational licenses.

Dr. Dave Webb, Ph.D., P.Eng., P.Geol., President & CEO, Director stated "We are pleased with progress made by an exceptional group of miners, mechanics, service providers, cook/medics, and expeditors. The team has delivered in a most efficient manner and deserves credit for our progress. We have succeeded in exposing the A-Zone in four locations 115 m and 30 m along strike of the East and West stopes respectively and 16 m below these historic stopes. Past production of the A Zone extracted 15,000 tonnes at 30 gpt gold from this vein (Company Technical Report, August 3, 2023, on SEDAR or https://sixtynorthgold.com/projects/technical-report/.

"A 100 tpd mill has been sourced and we plan to acquire and install it onto the property to commence recovery of gold as quickly as possible."

About the Company

The Company is developing mining operations for gold on its 100%-owned Mon Gold Property, 40 km north of Yellowknife, NWT.
