Granada to Continue In-Fill Deep Drill Program to Test High-Grade Gold Results of 107.9 g/t Over 4 Meters
October 23 2024 - 12:09PM
Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (OTC: GBBFF) (Frankfurt: B6DA.F)
(the "Company" or "Granada") announces a comprehensive deep drill
program to the north of the current open pit resource in an area
known as the Big Claim to define the extent of gold mineralization
within the 2 kilometer east-west strike length of the greater 5.5
kilometer defined mineralized gold structure. Gold mineralization
is expected to extend beyond 1600-meter vertical depth based on the
last drill program.
Drill Program aiming to Support an
Updated Gold Resource at Depth
Select deep drilling results on the Big Claim
confirming High Grade potential:
- 55.9 g/t gold over 1.00 meters in hole GR-16-14 included in
14.5 g/t gold over 4 meters from 881 to 885 meters.
- 45.7 g/t gold over 1.00 meters in hole GR-18-03 included in
8.39 g/t gold over 6 meters from 572 to 578 meters.
- 107.9 g/t gold over 4.00 meters in hole GR-20-21 from 617.4 to
621.4 meters

The drill program is a continuation of a planned
120,000-meter drill program of which 20,000 meters has been
completed.
Frank J. Basa, President and CEO, commented,
"The drill program will assess the potential for higher-grade
underground resources in line with historical production, which
averaged between 9 and 10 grams per tonne gold. This aligns with
our strategy to systematically evaluate the property's high-grade
potential at depth."

Mineral Resource Estimate
On August 22, 2022 the Company filed an updated
NI 43-101 technical report supporting the resource estimate update
for the Granada Gold project (Please see July 6, 2022 news release)
reporting that the Granada deposit contains an updated mineral
resource, at a base case cut-off grade of 0.55 g/t Au for pit
constrained mineral resources within a conceptual pit shell and at
a base case cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t for underground mineral
resources within reasonably mineable volumes, of 543,000
ounces of gold (8,220,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.05 g/t
Au) in the Measured and Indicated category, and 456,000 ounces of
gold (3,010,000 tonnes at an average grade of 4.71 g/t Au) in the
Inferred category. Please see Table 1 below for full details.

About Granada Gold Mine Inc.
Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop and
explore its 100% owned Granada Gold Property near Rouyn-Noranda,
Quebec, and is adjacent to the prolific Cadillac
Break. The Company owns 14.73 square kilometers of land in a
combination of mining leases and claims. The Company is
currently undergoing a large drill program with 20,000m out of
120,000m complete. The drills are currently paused to provide the
technical team with the necessary time to evaluate, assimilate
existing data and wait for improved market conditions.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone
contain, based on historical detailed mapping as well as from
current and historical drilling, up to twenty-two mineralized
structures trending east-west over five and a half kilometers.
Three of these structures were mined historically from four shafts
and three open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10
grams per tonne gold from two shafts down to 236 m and 498 m with
open pit grades from 3.5 to 5 grams per tonne gold.
The property includes the former Granada Gold
underground mine which produced more than 50,000 ounces of gold at
10 grams per tonne gold in the 1930’s from two shafts before a fire
destroyed the surface buildings. In the 1990s, Granada
Resources extracted a bulk sample (Pit #1) of 87,311 tonnes grading
5.17 g/t Au. They also extracted a bulk sample (Pit # 2) of
22,095 tonnes grading 3.46 g/t Au. More information at
