Goldseek Resources Inc. Options 100% of the Beschefer Project (Incl. 55.63 g/t over 5.57 Meters)
London, March 2, 2021 - Goldseek Resources Inc. (CSE:GSK) (CNSX:GSK.CN) ("Goldseek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire 100% of the Beschefer property ("Beschefer" or "Beschefer Project"), from Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd.. ("Wallbridge" - TSX:WM"). The Beschefer Project is an advanced gold exploration property located approximately 30 kilometres southwest of Wallbridge's Fenelon Gold property ("Fenelon Gold").Project Highlights:
- Advanced gold exploration project with significant near-term resource potential
- Highlights of the best intersections include 55.63 g/t gold over 5.57 metres in hole BE13-038 (including 224 g/t over 1.23m), 13.07 g/t gold over 8.75 metres in hole B12-014 (including 58.5 g/t over 1.5m), 3.56 g/t gold over 28.4 metres in hole B14-006 (including 7.42 g/t over 5.5m), 10.28 g/t gold over 8.00 metres in hole B14-35 (including 86.74 g/t over 0.60m), and 12.40 g/t gold over 3.78 metres in hole B11-003. True width in these sections vary between 89% and 99% of the intercepted width.
- The mineralizations shows high grade gold bearing structures hosted in a lower grade envelope, which highlight the regional potential along the already defined shear zones located on the Beschefer Project.
- Continuous large-scale gold-bearing structure (B-14 Zone) with known continuity and additional known parallel mineralized shear zones.
- Borders Goldseek's Southern Arm Project.
- Located in a favorable orogenic gold setting 45 km northeast of the Casa Berardi Mine and 30 kilometres southwest of Wallbridge's Fenelon Gold property.
- The Company has secured access to historical drill cores. A review of the gold-bearing zones will be completed, along with resampling that will be used for lithogeochemichal assaying and to produce polished and thin sections, allowing the technical team to better define alterations and mineralogy over the zones of interest.
Goldseek's President & CEO Jon Deluce states, "We are very excited to announce the aquisition of the Beschefer Project. Beschefer will be our flagship project going forward which I believe is a great addition to help derisk our current strong grassroots portfolio. We believe this project has significant near-term resource potential and we will announce our exploration plans for 2021 shortly with our medium-term goal of a maiden resource estimate in 2022."
About the Beschefer Project:
The Beschefer Project covers approximately 962 acres and is located in the Northern Abitibi Greenstone Belt, 14 km east of the past-producing polymetallic Selbaie Mine, 45 km northeast of the Casa Berardi Mine and 30 kilometres from Wallbridge's Fenelon Gold property. Historically, the area has mainly been explored for volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits similar to the Matagami camp and the Selbaie Mine.
Gold mineralization was discovered in the B-14 Zone in 1995 by Billiton Canada Inc. and the Beschefer Project saw very limited exploration before the involvement by Excellon in 2011, which completed approximately 17,000 metres of drilling up to 2013. There has been limited exploration at Beschefer since 2013 with the exception of 1,600 meters drilled by Wallbridge in 2018.
A summary of historic drill hole results is reported in the table and also shown on the Figures below.
