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 six rigs operating at the project, building on the Company’s
current mineral resource which is comprised of
922,00
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 mineral resource estimate
(MRE) for the OKO project in Q1 of 2025.
Subsequent to the April 3rd MRE, to date G2 has completed an
additional 124 holes totalling 42,853 meters. This drilling
campaign has led to the discovery of new zones of gold
mineralization along strike and down plunge of the previously
defined resource [see press release of September 03, 2024]. One of
the more promising new discoveries was announced on September 03,
2024. It described a new mineralized structure starting from near
surface and running parallel to the central Ghanie zone. Select
intercepts from the initial discovery are highlighted in Table
1.

Subsequent drilling has encountered the most expansive zone of
gold mineralization discovered to date at Ghanie and has extended
mineralization a further 200m down plunge. Highlights from the
latest eighteen drill holes are tabulated in Table 2 below.

The intercepts reported are down-hole widths.
True widths are estimated between 75% and 85% of reported down-hole
widths. Gold grades are uncapped.

Dan Noone, G2 Goldfields CEO, stated, “We are eager to continue
this intensive exploration campaign across the Ghanie district,
where multiple discoveries have demonstrated that the district has
been extensively mineralized.”
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.

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.
