Kestrel Intersects 0.59 g/t Au over 149.35 metres including 0.78 g/t Au over 99.06 metres

15.12.2022  |  Accesswire

CALGARY, December 15, 2022 - Kestrel Gold Inc. ("Kestrel" or the "Corporation")(TSX-V:KGC) is pleased to announce results for the final three holes, QCM22-12, 13 and 14, from the Corporation's 2022 six-hole second phase reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at the QCM property which is being explored for near surface, bulk tonnage gold mineralization.

Drill Program Highlights:

  • All three holes intersected gold bearing mineralization, with values of 0.59 g/t Au over 149.35 metres, including 0.78 g/t Au over 99.06 metres, found within hole QCM22-14.
  • All three holes ended in gold bearing mineralization with the last sample of hole QCM22-12 containing 1.48 g/t Au over 1.52 metres.

  • Reported intervals are down-hole lengths. True thicknesses cannot be determined with available information.
  • Gold-bearing intervals are hosted by carbonate and silica altered volcanic sandstone and lesser argillite cut by sheeted to stockwork quartz veins, and variably mineralized with up to 10% pyrite in some intervals. Mariposite has also been noted in some intervals.

Rob Solinger, President and CEO of Kestrel, states: "We are pleased to have received final results for our 2022 QCM drill program. The Main Zone continues to yield broad bulk tonnage style intersections that help confirm the presence of a significant gold bearing zone in this area. These results together with the new discovery we made at 14 Vein, where drilling earlier this year returned 2.33 g/t Au over 44.19 metres, speak to the overall prospectivity of the property. We look forward to continued exploration of both zones and further prospecting across the property."

QCM Project Highlights:

  • Project is comprised of 6,906 hectares covering an approximate 15-kilometre strike length of the Manson Fault Zone which is thought to be a controlling structure for much of the gold mineralization in the district.
  • Peak values from historical drilling completed within the Main Zone were found within hole QCM04-002 which intersected an interval of 2.86 g/t Au over 110.95 metres, including a high-grade interval of 173 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, true widths unknown.
  • Prospecting during 2022 resulted in the discovery of the 14 Vein showing, drilling of which returned 2.33 g/t Au over 44.19 metres. Geology consists of silica and carbonate altered argillite cut by sheeted quartz veins. https://www.kestrelgold.com/news/oct-25-2022
  • Numerous historical showings occur throughout the project area, including Farrell where historical values of up to 1,777 g/t Au and 3,560 g/t Ag were returned from grab samples of a 3.0-metre wide quartz vein and Flagstaff where historical values of up to 5.9 g/t Au and 1,153 g/t Ag were reported for grab samples of quartz veins and stockworks.
  • Recently completed logging and associated road building has significantly improved access throughout the property which is proving of significant value to exploration efforts.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Sampling Procedures

Drilling was completed using a RC drill that cut a 92 millimeter (3.62 inch) in diameter hole. Holes were sampled top to bottom in 1.52 metre (5 foot) intervals. Drill cuttings were captured in a cyclone then split in a three-tiered Jones-type riffle splitter. Samples were sent to ALS Chemex, an independent laboratory in Vancouver B.C. where analytical results were obtained using Au-AA23, a fire assay method for gold, and ME-ICP41 an aqua regia digestion for trace element geochemistry. For QA/QC purposes, standards and field duplicates were inserted into the sample sequence at a rate of approximately one QA/QC sample for every ten samples submitted to the lab. An initial review of the drilling, sampling and assaying procedures did not recognize any factors that would materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the assay data disclosed.
