G2 Goldfields Inc. (“
G2” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to
provide an update on its ongoing exploration program at the
Company’s 58,000-acre OKO-Aremu gold project, Guyana. G2 currently
has five rigs operating at the project, building on the Company’s
current mineral resource which is comprised of
922,000
ounces of gold (Indicated) and
1,099,000
ounces (Inferred) [see press release dated April 03,
2024]. G2 continues to expand and define existing gold zones whilst
discovering new high grade parallel zones of gold mineralization.
The Company intends to issue an updated resource estimate for the
OKO project in Q1 of 2025.
G2’s OKO gold resource lies along a prominent 2.5-kilometre-long
north-south structure which is defined by the high grade OMZ
resource to the north [688,000 ounces of gold @ 9.03 g/t
Au (Indicated) and 495,000 ounces of
gold at 6.38 g/t Au (Inferred)] and the Ghanie open
pit and underground resource to the south [236,000 ounces
of gold @ 2.20 g/t Au (Indicated) and 604,000
ounces of gold @ 1.54 g/t Au (Inferred)]. G2 is currently
drilling in the Ghanie Zone, the southern half of the structure.
This drilling is targeting:
(i) expansion of near surface-open-pittable deposits
along strike,(ii) expansion of existing pittable
mineralization to depths greater than -350m,(iii) extensions of
high-grade Ghanie mineralization at depth,(iv) possible parallel
zones of mineralization to the east of the main Ghanie Zone, and
(v) extensions to shear hosted high grade gold associated
with the OKO Main Zone (OMZ).Assays from 39 diamond drill holes
(totalling 12,342 m) are included in this release. A complete table
of drill results is available here. Highlights
from the recent drill holes are contained in Table 1.

The intercepts reported are down-hole widths.
True widths are estimated between 75% and 85% of reported down-hole
widths. Gold grades are uncapped.
Drilling continues to expand the Main Ghanie Zone both
vertically and along strike with an established strike length
greater than 1,000 meters and to depths exceeding 400 vertical
meters.
FIGURE 1 PLAN VIEW
New Discovery – Eastern Ghanie Zone
G2 has completed close to two hundred diamond drill holes to
date in the Ghanie Zone, the southern portion of the OKO trend. As
drills targeted the deeper portions of the Main Ghanie Zone, a new
parallel zone ‘Eastern Ghanie’ has emerged. This new zone is
defined by 401 pierce points with grade distributions illustrated
in Table 2.

The intercepts reported are down-hole widths.
True widths are estimated between 75% and 85% of reported down-hole
widths. Gold grades are uncapped.
FIGURE 2 OBLIQUE VIEW
Significantly, almost all the intercepts in this
emerging zone lie within 150 m of surface with the exception of
hole GDD-120 which returned 6.9 g/t Au over 6 m from approximately
275 m vertical depth. As G2 has demonstrated from past work, most
of the new gold zones have significant potential at depth. The
depth potential at Eastern Ghanie will likely remain a source of
growth for the Company in the coming months.
OKO Main Zone Extensions (Assays Pending)
G2 has completed three diamond drill holes targeting southern
extensions of the high grade OMZ Shear 3 Zone. Several holes have
intercepted the shear with multiple visible gold occurrences.
Assays are expected in the coming weeks. Shear 3 currently hosts an
underground resource of 1,043,000 tonnes @ 8.64 g/t Au (indicated)
and an inferred underground resource of 923,0000 tonnes @ 5.17 g/t
Au between vertical depths of 50 and 545 meters. Detailed
structural analysis continues to assist the Company in targeting
the deeper shoots along the greater 2.5 km trend. The Company has
committed to a 20,000 meter deep drilling program over the coming
months, in addition to the current 70,000 m program. A sixth drill
rig is being mobilised to the property.
QA/QC
Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage
facility located on the OKO project site, Guyana. Core samples from
the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are
sent to MSALABS Guyana, in Georgetown, Guyana, which is an
accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. Samples from
sections of core with obvious gold mineralisation are analysed for
total gold using an industry-standard 500g metallic screen fire
assay (MSALABS method MSC 550). All other samples are analysed for
gold using standard Fire Assay-AA with atomic absorption finish
(MSALABS method; FAS- 121). Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold
are analysed utilizing standard fire assay gravimetric methods
(MSALABS method; FAS-425). Certified gold reference standards,
blanks, and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample
stream, as part of G2 Goldfields’ quality control/quality assurance
program (QAQC). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results
reported herein.
About G2 Goldfields Inc.
The G2 Goldfields team is comprised of professionals who have
been directly responsible for the discovery of millions of ounces
of gold in Guyana as well as the financing and development of the
Aurora Gold Mine, Guyana’s largest gold mine [RPA, 43-101,
Technical Report on the Aurora Gold Mine, March 31, 2020].
In April 2024, G2 announced an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
(“MRE”) for the Oko property in Guyana [see press
release dated April 03, 2024]. Highlights of the Updated MRE
include:
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Oko
Main Zone (OMZ):
- 495,000 oz. Au –
Inferred contained within 2,413,000 tonnes @ 6.38 g/t Au
- 686,000 oz. Au –
Indicated contained within 2,368,000 tonnes @ 9.03 g/t Au
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for
the Ghanie Zone:
- 604,000 oz. Au –
Inferred contained within 12,216,000 tonnes @ 1.54 g/t Au
- 236,000 oz. Au –
Indicated contained within 3,344,000 tonnes @ 2.20 g/t Au
The MRE was prepared by Micon International Limited with an
effective date of March 27, 2024. Significantly, the updated
mineral resources lie within 500 meters of surface. The Oko
district has been a prolific alluvial goldfield since its initial
discovery in the 1870s, and modern exploration techniques continue
to reveal the considerable potential of the district.
Anglo Gold Ashanti (NYSE:AU) currently holds 35,723,965 shares
representing 14.95% of the issued and outstanding shares of G2. G2
currently has cash holdings exceeding (Cad) $49 million and is well
financed to execute on this regional exploration program.
