Winshear Channel Sampling Expands Coritiri Gold Zone at the Gaban Gold Project in Peru
October 14 2020 - 7:30AM
Winshear Gold Corp. (
TSX-V: WINS)
has received gold assay results from an additional 69 channel
samples at the Coritiri Target within the Gaban Gold Project in
south-eastern Peru. Gaban is located in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt
(“POGB”) at the juncture of the San Gaban and Inambari Rivers,
which then drain into the Madre de Dios basin where extensive
alluvial gold mining covers a 700 square mile area (Figure
1). Winshear is investigating Gaban as a potential hard-rock
source for the alluvial gold being mined at Madre de Dios.
Dr. Mark Sander, President of Winshear,
commented: “The first exploration campaign of 2020 on our Gaban
gold project has served to increase the size of the main Coritiri
anomaly to 400 m by 1,200 m and defined another emerging gold
anomaly several hundred metres to the north. With Covid19
restrictions easing, we are now back in the field with one team and
planning to add a second in the coming weeks to accelerate progress
in covering more ground with high quality channel samples. We are
also beginning the permitting process for our first drill holes,
intending to collect all required field data this year.”Key

Winshear has defined multiple mineralized structures within the
400m x 1,200m area of the main Coritiri anomaly associated with a
shear / deformation zone dipping to the southwest at approximately
40º. In addition, there are isolated, outlier high grade
samples to the east and south of Coritiri reflected in the Winshear
and Palamina samples.
Coritiri Gold Zone
Coritiri was initially identified from
interpretation of airborne magnetic data, flown in 2018, which
inferred the presence of an 8 km x 1 km NW-SE linear target
adjacent to a 6.5 km x 3.0 km northwest-southeast trending magnetic
high. The geophysical anomaly / target is coincident with a 5 km
long series of gold-in-stream sediment anomalies located within the
Yanamayo River catchment. The underlying geology in the area
comprises sheared and deformed siltstones and slates with foliation
typically striking northwest-southeast and dipping moderately to
the southwest.There are numerous artisanal workings in the Yanamayo
catchment that develop placer gold deposits, and there are several
prospect pits and adits developed on outcropping quartz
veins. The most recent sampling campaign has extended the
mineralized footprint of the Coritiri anomaly. Winshear’s
follow up campaigns will be focused north, east, and west of the
Coritiri Gold Zone to better understand the relationship of the
outlier gold anomalies which are not currently interpreted to
represent a continuously mineralized single anomaly. Further field
work is now underway to fill in gaps in sample coverage. The
Company has elected to apply for a DIA (environmental impact study)
to permit up to 40 drill platforms in the Coritiri Gold Zone. Field
work to support the application is planned for completion by early
December. Technical Information
William McGuinty P. Geo. of OTD Exploration
Services Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument
43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news
release. Mr. McGuinty has visited Winshear’s Gaban exploration
project and reviewed sampling methods and quality assurance /
quality control (QA/QC) programs for the project.Channel samples
are taken from exposed outcrops and cut to capture the best
available angle to the orientation of the sampled structure.
Samples collected in the field are accompanied by third party,
certified gold standards, sample blanks and duplicates, then
transported by Winshear personnel to the Certimin S.A. laboratory
in Juliaca, Peru. Samples are processed by Certimin S.A. in Juliaca
and prepared sample splits are transported and assayed by the
Certimin S.A. Laboratory in Lima, Peru. Samples are assayed for
gold using fire assay with an AA finish. Assays currently use a 50
gram charge. Samples are also tested using a multi-element ICP-OES
package. No standards were inserted for the multi-element suite.
All samples are returned to the Company and stored at secure
facility in Juliaca.About Winshear Gold Corp
In 2019 Winshear Gold Corp. acquired the Gaban
Gold Project in the Puno region, SE Peru and the Tinka IOCG project
in the Ica district, southern Peru, from Palamina Corp. The
Company, formerly Helio Resource Corp., has also delivered notice
to the Tanzanian government to commence arbitration to recover its
investment in the SMP gold project in Tanzania.ON BEHALF OF
