Velocity Receives Additional Positive Drill Results, Further Expanding the Mineralized Envelope at Rozino Gold Deposit, Bulgaria

13.02.2019  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Feb. 13, 2019 - Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: VLC) (“Velocity” or the “Company”) announces that it has received additional positive drill results from the Rozino gold project (“Rozino”), located in Bulgaria. Highlights include 24.4m from surface @ 0.85g/t gold and 31.8m @ 0.58g/t gold, including 8.0m @ 1.04g/t gold. Mineralization remains open for expansion.

“The addition of near-surface gold mineralization outside of the PEA base case pit limit was a primary objective of the current drill program,” stated Keith Henderson, Velocity’s President & CEO. “We have been successful in demonstrating that the Rozino deposit is not fully defined by the PEA results and that there is potentially more to be added in terms of additional mineralization.”

Mr. Henderson continued, “In total we plan to complete more than 12,000 metres of drilling at Rozino this year. This will include both infill drilling and additional exploration drilling as we seek to define the outer limits of the deposit.”

Detailed Results

The addition of a near-surface gold intersection from drill hole RDD-066, which collared outside of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) (September 2018) base case open pit design, further expands mineralization to the southeast. The mineralization corresponds with surface soil and trench responses previously reported in the Q4 2018 (Table 1, Figures 1 & 2).

Drill hole RDD-063 collared inside the PEA (September 2018) base case open pit limits and returned significant gold intersections that have the potential to extend the base case open pit at depth (Table 1, Figures 1 & 3).

^ The drill intersections disclosed here have not yet been included in a resource model and true thickness of mineralization has not yet been determined. Drill holes are designed to intersect mineralization perpendicular or close to perpendicular.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

The work program at Rozino was designed and is supervised by Stuart A. Mills, CGeol, the Company's Vice-President Exploration, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program. On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and shipped to ALS Global laboratory in Romania. Samples used for the results described herein are prepared and analyzed by fire assay using a 30-gram charge in compliance with industry standards. Field duplicate samples, blanks and independent controlled reference material (standards) are added to every batch. Drill intersections in this news release are calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold trigger, a minimum 0.5 g/t gold composite, and a maximum of 3 meters consecutive waste.

Qualified Person

The technical content of this release has been approved for disclosure by Stuart A. Mills, BSc, MSc, CGeol, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and the Company’s Vice President Exploration. Mr. Mills is not independent of the Company.

About Rozino

The Rozino project is one of six exploration projects located within an Exploration and Mining Alliance with Bulgarian operating partner Gorubso-Kardzhali AD. Velocity began exploring and drilling at Rozino in August 2017 and completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment in September 2018. The PEA provides a base case assessment of developing Rozino by open pit mining and on-site crushing, milling and simple flotation to produce a 30 g/t gold concentrate. The concentrate would then be trucked 85km on existing roads to the currently operating CIL plant where saleable gold doré would be produced. Mineralization remains open for expansion. Having delivered the PEA, the Company has exercised its option for a 70% interest in the project and will move forward in joint venture with Gorubso-Kardzhali AD.
