Damara Gold Completes 2021 Drill Program at Placer Mountain
December 22, 2021 - Damara Gold Corp. (TSXV:DMR) ("Damara" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has completed it's 2021 drill program on its Placer Mountain Project south of Princeton, BC ("Placer Mountain" or the "Property"). 1,061 meters were drilled from 10 holes at the Main Zone and 709 meters were drilled in 8 holes at the new Kodiak Zone, for a total of 1,770 meters of drilling in 18 holes on the Property. Core cutting and sampling is ongoing, with one shipment of core samples now in the lab. It is anticipated that all assay results will be received by February. High resolution plan maps illustrating the holes drilled at both zones can be downloaded from the Company's website at: https://www.damaragoldcorp.com/2021drillprogrammaps.html
Drilling at the Main Zone has intersected numerous veins across a 400-meter strike length. The system remains open in both directions along strike and there is potential for the discovery of additional parallel veins to the north and south of the area tested by the 2021 drill holes.
Drilling at the Kodiak Zone tested 150 meters of strike length this year, within an overall 1.5-kilometer-long soil anomaly which remains open under post-mineral cover to the east. Drilling covered approximately 180 meters of the 520-meter-wide anomaly. Due to severe weather conditions at site which resulted in heavy mudslides, several targets within the Kodiak Zone could not be drill tested this year, and remain to be tested in 2022, including the southern half of the soil anomaly which contains select float sample assays ranging from 10.0 to 70.6 g/t gold.
Muddy conditions on the steep bank resulted in equipment getting stuck for a short period of time during which the drill could not be moved. For that reason, the first five holes were drilled in a fan pattern at various azimuths and dips from a single pad. All 5 holes intersected mineralized veins and, in some cases, multiple veins. Drill hole KZ-21-01 was drilled for 165 meters at a dip of -45 and intersected a 1.3-meter-long intercept of quartz-sulfide vein followed by an approximately 87-meter-long interval of quartz-sericite alteration associated with quartz stringer veining.
All the remaining holes intersected varying degrees of quartz-sulfide veining, along with broad stringer zones with significant quartz-sericite alteration. The alteration and stringer veining intensities appear to increase with depth, which the Company plans to further investigate in 2022.
Larry Nagy, CEO, commented "We are pleased to have completed another safe and successful drill program at Placer Mountain. We have expanded the mineralized footprint at the Main Zone to 400 meters and intersected multiple parallel veins, with the potential for many more as we continue stepping out the drilling in 2022. The Kodiak Zone has revealed broad zones of alteration and quartz-sulfide veining and provided us with significant encouragement for the pending assay results."
