Founders Metals Inc. Completes Elmtree Project Data Compilation

30.06.2021  |  Newsfile
Edmonton, June 30, 2021 - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) ("Founders" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of the compiled historical data for its Elmtree Gold Project in northeastern New Brunswick.

The Elmtree Au Project comprises 49 mineral claims totaling 1,063 hectares (ha) situated approximately 20 km northwest of the City of Bathurst. The property has been under active exploration since the late 1950s. However, substantial work began in 1984 with the discovery of gold and base metal mineralization at the Discovery Zone (DZ) and West Gabbro Zone (WGZ). Compilation of the historical exploration work on, and immediately adjacent to, Founders' claims provides a substantial geological, geochemical, and geophysical base upon which to expand the known gold resources1. The compilation greatly expands earlier work2 and represents the most thorough amalgamation of historical data on the property to date. The database includes:

  • 27,155.5 m of diamond drill core with 10,645 sample assays, including all 196 historical Elmtree holes, most of which has been focused on the Discovery Zone, West Gabbro Zone, and South Gold Zone deposits
  • 474 m of trenching with 441 chip sample assays, including 144 assays with gold concentrations above 1,000 parts per billion (ppb) gold (Au)
  • 2,640 soil geochemical assays, including 164 analyses >100 ppb Au
  • 64 rock samples from outcrop with multielement geochemical assays
  • Georeferenced maps and data from numerous airborne and ground geophysical surveys, including magnetics, VLF-EM, radiometrics, and IP surveys
  • Newly reprocessed geophysical data where appropriate
  • Numerous georeferenced and digitized outcrop, alteration, and bedrock maps
  • The first ever compilation of historical structural measurements in the area

All data has undergone rigorous QA/AC to ensure accuracy and to establish and maintain database integrity. Future compilation work includes lithology and assay data for an additional 25 diamond drill holes and 46 trenches on the periphery of the Company's claims but along strike of potential gold-bearing structures.

The historical soil and geophysical surveys correlate well with known gold mineralized zones and indicate additional mineralized zones may exist along the main structural trends. Furthermore, a 2017 IP survey suggests mineralization may extend to depth, below levels tested historically. Most previous work has been confined to the Discovery Zone, West Gabbro Zone, and South Gold Zone deposits, leaving a large portion of the property, with significant exploration potential, untested.

The team at Founders would like to thank the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development for their generous support through a 2021 grant under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program. The funds will be used during the 2021 field season on exploration expenditures to further advance Elmtree property.
