HALIFAX, NS, Sept. 23, 2020 /CNW/ - GoGold Resources
Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the
Company") is pleased to release the first assay results
from the Company's Salomon-Favor target on the Los Ricos North
project, which is located approximately 5km southeast of the La
Trini deposit. The drill program is testing the known zones
of mineralization along strike and down dip from the historical
underground workings.
Hole LRGF-20-001 was drilled on the El Favor target and
intersected a quartz vein and brecciated stockwork zone hosted in
andesite tuffs from 15.0 to 56.7m for
41.7m of 168 g/t silver equivalent
("AgEq"), consisting of 142 g/t silver and 0.36 g/t gold. The
intersect included 11.0m of 529g/t
AgEq, which was made up of 444 g/t silver and 1.12 g/t gold, which
began at a depth of 18.7m. The
hole encountered further mineralization from 131.3m to 147.0m,
for 15.7m of 59 g/t AgEq.
Hole LRGS-20-001 was the first hole drilled on the Salomon
target and intersected 14.0m of 298
g/t AgEq, consisting of 280 g/t silver and 0.24 g/t gold from
223.5m to 237.5m, including 5.0m of 737 g/t AgEq. The hole intercepted
mineralization at multiple depths, including 19.9m from 2.6m to
22.5m, 10.4m from 45.0m to
55.4m, and 20.3m from 90.0m to
110.3m.
"We're extremely encouraged with our initial drilling results at
Salomon-Favor to see four stacked zones of wide mineralization
starting from surface," said Brad
Langille, President and CEO. "With the completion of our
C$34.5 million financing last week,
we have the funds to explore aggressively and drill multiple
targets at Los Ricos North simultaneously, including La Trini and
Salomon-Favor, and move the project to an initial resource estimate
by the second calendar quarter of 2021."
Hole LRGF-20-004 at El Favor intersected 4.1m of 528 g/t AgEq from 34.0m to 38.1m,
which was included in a 41.1m
intersect of 93 g/t AgEq, after excluding 6.4m of historically mined voids. In
addition, this hole intersected 15.8m
of 93 g/t AgEq beginning at surface. The mineralization dips
steeply to the north where it has been intersected in mine workings
along the valley floor some 300 meters down dip. Hole
LRGF-20-003 was lost at a shallow depth due to a technical issue
where it didn't cut the complete mineralized package. Hole
LRGF-20-004 was collared at the same location at a steeper angle
and was able to pass through the entire zone.
The 2020 field work began in June after compiling the work
conducted by former operators. GoGold initiated a program of
geological mapping and sampling along the historical El Favor,
Salomon and El Orito structures. These structures are
characterized by quartz veins and stockworks over a 2.5 km strike
length and several hundred channel samples were collected from
outcrops along the zones. Currently the Company has 6
drill rigs operating at Los Ricos North, with 3 operating at the La
Trini target, and 3 drilling at the Salomon-Favor target.
Detailed intersections are listed in Table 1 and the hole locations
are shown in Table 2.

Los Ricos District Exploration Projects
The Company's
two exploration projects at its Los Ricos property are in
Jalisco state, Mexico. The
Los Ricos South Project began in March
2019 and includes the 'Main' area, which is focused on
drilling around a number of historical mines including El Abra, El Troce, San Juan, and Rascadero, as well as the
Cerro Colorado, Las Lamas and East
Vein targets. An initial resource on the Los Ricos South
project was announced on July 29,
2020 and indicated a Measured & Indicated Mineral
Resource of 63.7 million ounces AgEq grading 199 g/t AgEq contained
in 10.0 million tonnes, and an Inferred Resource of 19.9 million
ounces AgEq grading 190 g/t AgEq contained in 3.3 million
tonnes.
The Los Ricos North Project was launched in March 2020 and includes drilling at the
Salomon-Favor, La Trini, and Mololoa targets.
Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data
Verification
The diamond drill core (HQ size) is
geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the
sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond
blade core saw with one half of the core being bagged and tagged
for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the core trays
for storage and/or for metallurgical test work.
The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ActLabs
facility in Zacatecas, Mexico.
ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples
with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps
are assayed for gold using a 50-gram charge by fire assay (Code
1A2-50) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are
re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 1A3-50). Silver and
multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code 1F2
Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne
silver are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV
Ag).
Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures
monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the
systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference
materials (certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the
sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material
included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the
assay data. All results stated in this announcement have
passed GoGold's QA/QC protocols.
