Thesis Gold Drills 8.00 Metres of 11.39 Grams per Tonne Gold Equivalent
Thesis Gold has announced significant drill results from its 2024 program at the Lawyers Project in British Columbia. The program, comprising 4,100 meters of drilling, revealed notable high-grade gold and silver mineralization, including standout intersections of 8.00 meters at 11.39 g/t gold equivalent and 22.62 meters at 1.75 g/t gold equivalent. The results confirm both shallow and deep mineralization, supporting potential enhancement of open-pit scenarios and expansion of underground resources. These findings will be incorporated into the upcoming Prefeasibility Study planned for late 2025.
Thesis Gold ha annunciato risultati significativi dai suoi pozzi di perforazione del programma 2024 presso il Lawyers Project nella Columbia Britannica. Il programma, che comprende 4.100 metri di perforazione, ha rivelato notevoli mineralizzazioni di oro e argento ad alta qualità, comprese intersezioni eccezionali di 8,00 metri a 11,39 g/t di oro equivalente e 22,62 metri a 1,75 g/t di oro equivalente. I risultati confermano sia la mineralizzazione superficiale che quella profonda, supportando il potenziale miglioramento degli scenari di estrazione a cielo aperto e l'espansione delle risorse sotterranee. Questi risultati saranno incorporati nello studio di prefattibilità previsto per la fine del 2025.

Thesis Gold hat bedeutende Bohrergebnisse seines Programms 2024 im Lawyers Project in British Columbia bekannt gegeben. Das Programm, das aus 4.100 Metern Bohrungen besteht, zeigte bemerkenswerte hochgradige Gold- und Silbermineralisierungen, einschließlich herausragender Schnittstellen von 8,00 Metern bei 11,39 g/t Goldäquivalent und 22,62 Metern bei 1,75 g/t Goldäquivalent. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen sowohl flache als auch tiefe Mineralisierungen und unterstützen die mögliche Verbesserung von Tagebauszenarien sowie die Erweiterung der unterirdischen Ressourcen. Diese Ergebnisse werden in die geplante Machbarkeitsstudie einfließen, die für Ende 2025 vorgesehen ist.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2024) - Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF) ("Thesis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from the 2024 drill program at Lawyers, part of the
The recently completed, positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlined a
Results from the 2024 drill program successfully confirmed high-grade, near-surface mineralization, while deeper intercepts confirmed modelled stopes and point to the potential for expanding the underground mining scenario with future drill campaigns. These results will be incorporated into the upcoming Prefeasibility Study (PFS), which is expected to further define project economics and resource classification.
2024 Drill Highlights
- 4100 metres (m) of drilling at Lawyers focused on resource infill and upgrading, both near surface and at depth (Figure 1).
- Shallow, high-grade gold and silver mineralization (Figure 2):
- 24CCDD001 intersected;
- 22.62 metres (m) of 1.16 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 47.08 g/t silver (Ag), or 1.75 g/t gold equivalent** (AuEq), including,
- 7.00 m of 3.17 g/t Au and 123.54 g/t Ag, or 4.72 g/t AuEq.
- 24CCDD003 intersected;
- 8.00 m of 7.29 g/t Au and 327.75 g/t Ag, or 11.39 g/t AuEq, including,
- 2.00 m of 16.23 g/t Au and 866.00 g/t Ag, or 27.05 g/t AuEq.
- An additional interval of 3.07 m intersected 6.69 g/t Au and 189.27 g/t Ag, or 9.05 g/t AuEq.
- 24CCDD001 intersected;
- Deeper intercepts confirmed and expanded modelled underground stopes:
- 24CCDD005 intersected;
- 4.89 m of 3.82 g/t Au and 119.76 g/t Ag, or 5.31 g/t AuEq, including,
- 0.39 m of 19.30 g/t Au and 791.00 g/t Ag, or 29.19 g/t AuEq.
- 24CCDD006 intersected;
- 10.16 m of 0.90 g/t Au and 25.00 g/t Ag, or 1.21 g/t AuEq, including,
- 2.00 m of 4.56 g/t Au and 141.00 g/t Ag, or 6.32 g/t AuEq.
- 24DRDD001 intersected;
- 6.00 m of 0.69 g/t Au and 224.17 g/t Ag, or 3.49 g/t AuEq, including,
- 2.00 m of 0.58 g/t Au and 448.00 g/t Ag, or 6.18 g/t AuEq.
- 24CCDD005 intersected;
- The shallow, high-grade intercepts have the potential to upgrade near-surface resources and enhance the economics of the open-pit scenarios outlined in the PEA. In addition, the deeper intervals support further expansion of underground resources, extending the mine life and creating new opportunities for resource growth.
Dr. Ewan Webster, President and CEO, commented, "These latest drill results are extremely encouraging, as they both continue to validate the high-grade potential near surface and confirm continuity of mineralization at depth. The shallow, high-grade gold and silver intercepts provide an excellent opportunity to enhance the open-pit scenario, while the deeper intervals align well with the underground stopes outlined in the PEA. With silver prices trending upwards, the substantial silver content in these intercepts provides a meaningful tailwind to the project's economics, complementing the already projected 4 million+ ounces of average annual silver production outlined in the PEA. This progress is a key step in de-risking the project as we move toward our Pre-Feasibility Study in 2025."
