Algold: Drilling Continues to Define and Extend Mineralization at Eleonore

16.08.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

MONTREAL, Aug. 16, 2018 - Algold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ALG – the “Corporation”) today announced further preliminary assay results from its Phase IV 25,000-meter drilling campaign carried out on the Corporation’s Tijirit property (“Tijirit”) in Mauritania.

Highlights

  • Hole T18RC059 (Eleonore South) – 37.35 g/t Au over 2 meters, including 60.7 g/t Au over 1 meter on section E8380, within the open pit limits defined in the preliminary economic assessment, and 30 meters north of hole T16RD041, which intersected 36.09 g/t Au over 1 meter, including 65.0 g/t Au over 0.5 meters (reference Algold’s press release dated June 15, 2017).
  • Hole T18RD054 (Eleonore South) – 11.23 g/t Au over 2.7 meters, 7.65 g/t Au over 3.3 meters and 6.04 g/t Au over 4 meters on section E8430, located 40 meters below hole T17RC112, which intersected 1.21 g/t Au over 8 meters. Infill drilling on the same section, 58 meters above hole T18RD054, identified a visible gold bearing quartz-carbonate shear vein 59 meters depth in hole T18RD055 – 21.9 g/t Au over 0.5 meter.(Figure 1)
  • Hole T18RC089 (Eleonore South) – 1.75 g/t Au over 10 meters on section E7780, located 16 meters above hole T16RC077, which intersected 0.74 g/t Au over 4 meters.
  • Hole T18RC090 (Eleonore South) – 7.97 g/t Au over 3 meters on section E7825, located 25 meters south of hole T17RC122, which intersected 8.16 g/t Au over 5 meters (reference Algold’s press release dated September 12, 2017).

These drilling results reported, from the Eleonore South zone, continue to validate the spatial continuity of the mineralization identified to date and, importantly, demonstrate that high grades are recurrent along strike and dip. (Figure 2)

The Eleonore South mineralization extends over 1.2 kilometers from north to south and is the southern-most zone defined thus far on the 3.4-kilometer-long Eleonore structure. Several discrete shear zones that may control the high-grade gold mineralization remain largely untested at depth. The Eleonore South zone geology is similar to other zones, with the mineralization hosted within mafic volcanics and quartz-rich porphyry; it is separated from Eleonore Central by a fault.

Detailed observations from core drilling suggest dominant steep-dipping mineralized zones related to regional schistosity and folds. The presence of a possible shallow east-dipping late mineralized shear is being currently tested. Rheological contrasts and zones of weakness are important factors in the controlling of shear propagation and mineralization emplacement.

The Phase IV 25,000-meter program was initiated on May 7, 2018 with an objective to complete an initial 15,000 meters of drilling by mid-July in order to upgrade inferred resources to the indicated and measured category using a 40x40-meter grid. To date, Algold has completed 12,900 meters of reverse-circulation (“RC”) and 6,930 meters of diamond drilling (“DD”).

From the initial 15,000 meters of drilling, the Corporation is in receipt of results from approximately 80% of RC and 37% of core samples that were sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Note: Complete assay results are available on Algold’s website (www.algold.com).

Detailed geological descriptions of all mineralized zones can be found on Algold’s website (www.algold.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) in the report entitled, “Algold 43-101 Technical Report: Tijirit Maiden Mineral Resources Estimates for the Tijirit Gold Project in Mauritania”.

Following completion of the initial 15,000 meters of Phase IV drilling, Algold commenced the remaining 10,000 meters of drilling, which is aimed at testing the depth and strike extensions at Eleonore, as well as defining resources over new high-priority targets at Eleonore East and Salma. Algold looks forward to updating the market with additional exploration results in the near future.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Analytical work for drill core and chips, geochemical samples and rock chip samples is being carried out at the independent SGS Laboratories Ltd. in Bamako, Mali. The 50 g fire assay with ASS finish analytical services are accredited by SANAS and are carried out with a quality assurance protocol in line with ISO 17025:2005. Samples are stored at the Corporation’s field camps and put into sealed bags until delivered by a geologist on behalf of Algold to the laboratory in Bamako, Mali, where samples are prepared and analyzed. Until the end of 2016, samples were analyzed at ALS’s facility in Loughrea, Ireland. Beginning in 2017, samples are analyzed at SGS Laboratory, Bamako. Samples are logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and finely crushed to better than 70%, passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of up to 1,000 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85%, passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh) screen, and a 50-gram split is analyzed by fire assay with an AA finish. Anomalous samples greater than 5 g/t Au are re-analyzed by 50 g fire assay with gravimetric finish. Selected samples may be re-analyzed using a 1 kg cyanide leach (Bottle Roll) using “LeachWELL” or the 1 kg screen fire assay method. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference material (standards) are inserted to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis.
