Newly identified, heavily altered and mineralized Triple X shear-zone suggests a long-lived, deeply seated and complex structural history creating ideal environment for gold deposition.

Key Points: 
  • Newly identified, heavily altered and mineralized Triple X shear-zone suggests a long-lived, deeply seated and complex structural history creating ideal environment for gold deposition.
  • Detailed modeling of new information is now underway which could lead to additional mineralized zones that have not yet been discovered.
  • This newly identified structure confirms our suspicions about the Rickard Main Zone veins' extensional nature and highlights the long-lived and multi-phase deformation and hydrothermal activity at the project.
  • Additional pictures of the core have also been uploaded to the Company's website on the Rickard Gold Project page .

This unexpected zone carries a high sulphide content shown in figure 2 (see figure 2) and is separated from the aforementioned zones by an intermediate porphyry dyke intruding the mafic basalt host rocks.

Key Points: 
  • This unexpected zone carries a high sulphide content shown in figure 2 (see figure 2) and is separated from the aforementioned zones by an intermediate porphyry dyke intruding the mafic basalt host rocks.
  • This observed deformation zone (responsible for creating the extensional veins) may be bounded on either side by prospective faults or "break" structures.
  • The Property is road accessible and sits within 25 to 60 kilometers of six currently producing gold mines and eight previous producers.
  • The QP is a member in good standing of the Professional Geoscientists Ontario (PGO) and is a registered Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.).

The results form part of an infill and step-out drilling program designed to convert the Larkin Zone discovery (see Karora news release dated September 10, 2020) into Mineral Resources.

Key Points: 
  • The results form part of an infill and step-out drilling program designed to convert the Larkin Zone discovery (see Karora news release dated September 10, 2020) into Mineral Resources.
  • "\nThe Larkin Zone is interpreted as the faulted southern offset of the Western Flanks zone (Figure 1).
  • Drill results have now confirmed mineralization over 500 metres along strike and 120 metres below the ultramafic/basalt contact (down dip).
  • The 1940 face samples extend the Larkin Zone 150 metres north of reported drill results for a total strike length of 650 metres.

As we continue to unveil drill core, we continue to learn more about the unique structural setting at the Property.

Key Points: 
  • As we continue to unveil drill core, we continue to learn more about the unique structural setting at the Property.
  • This project presents an excellent opportunity in a prolific world-renowned gold belt, within an area that has been significantly underexplored.
  • The program was designed to identify mineralization within the veins and determine any secondary control on distribution of the mineralization within the veins themselves.
  • The Property is road accessible and sits within 25 to 60 kilometers of six currently producing gold mines and eight previous producers.

Drill hole LIM-21-4548 intersected 4.85 g/t Au over 5.5 metres ETW at a down-hole depth of 302 metres and approximately 50 metres below the current mineral resource.

Key Points: 
  • Drill hole LIM-21-4548 intersected 4.85 g/t Au over 5.5 metres ETW at a down-hole depth of 302 metres and approximately 50 metres below the current mineral resource.
  • During Q1 development of an underground access drive commenced to link Veta Nueva and Atravesada, which lies 600 metres east.
  • Both intercepts occur along the southern limits of currently defined resources, demonstrating good potential to extend mineral resources along strike toward the southeast where the two veins converge.
  • These results further demonstrate good potential for the continued expansion of resources both along strike, down dip and lateral to the Panteon and SP1 vein systems.

  • \xe2\x80\x9cWith at least 600 meters in length on surface showing greater than 1 g/t gold in soils, the principal anomaly is very significant.
  • In areas drilled to date, most soil anomalies on surface have correlated with new vein discoveries at depth.
  • New veins were found in virtually all areas drilled in Phase 1 which were underlain by gold-anomalous soils.
  • Most known veins are in areas of gold-anomalous soils but there are many areas where significant soil anomalies are not explained by known mineralization.
