X-terra Resources Completes Geochemical Sampling At Grog And Northwest

The 2020 and 2021 soil sampling programs identified a 2 kilometre wide gold-arsenic-antimony-soil anomaly using a 300 metres widely spaced grid centered over the Grog gold showing. Before carrying out additional drilling, X-Terra wanted to correctly assess and understand the gold footprint and finalize the interpretation of lithological and structural controls related to the epithermal system previously identified.

A total of 156 samples were collected over four grids targeting the areas centered on clusters of gold values in soil obtained throughout the first phase of sampling with results ranging from 10 to 70 ppb. The proximity with existing trenches as well as drill results above 0.5 g/t Au was another important factor considered for prioritizing targets. A shot gun approach with an average spacing of 30 metres between samples was utilized to cover the different possible structural interpretation of gold trends.

The 2021 property scale geochemistry survey was useful to identify gold in soil coherent with the regional fold affecting the White Brook formation, which covers an area of about 8 square kilometres. While the line spacing of 400 to 500 metres for this initial phase did not allow for accurate line to line correlation, the targets selected for follow up sampling are based on close repetition along lines of gold values ranging between 10 to 60 ppb.

A total of 207 samples were collected over 2 targets using 50 metres line spacing and 30 metres between samples to validate and extend anomalies in overburden covered and unexplored areas. Local trenching work done at the end of 2021 along the same magnetic trends revealed extensive barren quartz veins systems.

"This phase of geochemical sampling was extremely important for X-Terra as it outlines with more precision the gold signature which will improve our next phase of work. Geochemical has been by far, the best adapted exploration method for the two properties and has improved X-Terra understanding of the mineralized gold bearing corridors on the Grog property as well as on the Northwest property. Ultimately, the results of this geochemical program will enable X-Terra to proceed with a next round of diamond drilling" stated Michael Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of X-Terra.

363 samples of "B" horizon soil were collected by X-Terra's technical team. Samples recovered weighted between 300 and 500 gr. During sampling, tags were randomized with blanks and field duplicates inserted at respectively twenty (20) and ten (10) samples. Samples are being processed at the Actlabs preparation facility in Fredericton, New-Brunswick, and directed to Ancaster, Ontario for geochemical analysis by INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis). After drying and sieving to -63 microns, samples will be irradiated and subsequently measured for the emitted gamma ray.
