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. In April
2024, G2 announced a mineral resource estimate
(“
MRE”) comprised of 922,000 ounces of gold
(“
Indicated”) and 1,099,000 ounces of gold
(“
Inferred”) [see press release dated April 03,
2024]. To date, G2 has drilled a total of 509 diamond drill holes
totalling 139,180 meters at the 2.2 km long OKO-GHANIE gold system.
Subsequent to the April MRE, the Company has completed an
additional 200 drill holes totalling 56,887 meters which will
provide additional data for the updated MRE to be announced in Q1
of 2025.
G2’s OKO gold resource lies along a prominent 2.5 km long
north-south structure which is defined by the high grade OMZ
resource to the north [688,000 ounces Au @ 9.03 g/t Au (Indicated)
and 495,000 ounces Au at 6.38 g/t Au (Inferred)]
and the Ghanie open pit and underground resource to the south. In
the latter half of 2024, the Company’s exploration program focused
on the southern portion of this regional trend, in doing so it
targeted:
i) Expansion
of the Ghanie open pit along strike and to depth,
ii) Possible
new gold zones in between the Ghanie and Oko
deposits, iii) Strike
extensions to the OMZ high grade deposit to the south, and
iv) Depth
extensions to the Ghanie central deposit.
The exploration program was successful in achieving each of the
four stated objectives.
Assay results from a total of 54 diamond drill holes are
reported in this release. A complete set of drill results is
available here and on the Company’s website.A
drill plan in the oblique view is included as Figure 1 and on the
Company’s website here.

New High-Grade Zone Discovered in ‘Gap’
Drilling has defined a parallel high-grade shoot, partially
closing the 800m gap between the April 2024 Ghanie and OMZ
resources. Highlights of the drilling include hole GDD-228 which
returned 9m @ 2.6 g/t Au and 4m @ 36.8 g/t
Au as well as GDD-233 which assayed 5.7 g/t Au
over a core length of 13.5m, and GDD-210 which assayed
3.2 g/t Au over 17.7m. Table 1 displays the
highlights of intercepts from this new zone.

The intercepts reported are down-hole widths.
True widths are estimated between 75% and 85% of reported down-hole
widths. Gold grades are uncapped.
A long section illustrating the new discovery zone is included
below as Figure 2 or available on the Company’s website
here.

Central Ghanie Zone Depth Extensions
G2 successfully targeted the down plunge extensions of holes
GDD-192 and GDD-194 which returned 51.8m @ 2.1 g/t
Au and 51.4m @ 5.3 g/t Au, respectively
[see press release dated November 18, 2024]. Hole GDD-208 returned
4m @ 11.6 g/t Au and hole GDD-218W1 (which has
three intersections) returned 3m @ 12.1 g/t Au,
4.5m @ 5.7 g/t Au, and 4.5m @ 9.1 g/t
Au. GDD-208 and GDD-218W1 intercepted the structure at
vertical depths approximately 100m below the GDD-192 and GDD-194
intercepts.
OMZ Extensions to Shear 3
Boaz Wade, VP Exploration, stated “Some encouraging drilling
intercepts, which included zones of visible gold, confirm that high
grade mineralization occurs down-plunge of the existing OMZ
resource. This program demonstrates growth potential at the OMZ
deposit by targeting well-defined structural geometries.”
The most successful holes included OKD-234 and GDD-213 which
returned 18m @ 3.1 g/t Au and 5.6m @ 2.0
g/t Au, respectively.
OMZ Infill Drilling
Infill drilling continued to further define the Oko Main Zone
deposit. Drilling has intersected a high-grade zone in the Shear 1
part of the OMZ structure which returned 4.9 g/t Au over
11m, illustrating the prospectivity of the OMZ Shear 1
structure which was omitted from the April MRE.
Dan Noone, G2 CEO, stated, “These new results definitively
demonstrate that, despite almost five hundred holes being completed
to date, the OKO project remains very much a growth story. In 2025
we will continue to aggressively explore this emerging gold
district.”
A long section illustrating the distribution of drill
intersections is included below as Figure 3 and available on the
Company’s website here.

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.

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.
