Getchell Gold Corp. Concludes Drill Program at the Fondaway Canyon Gold Project, Nevada
Toronto, November 13, 2020 - Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) ("Getchell" or the "Company") a leading Nevada focused Gold and Copper exploration company wishes to announce that the drill program has been completed at the Fondaway Canyon Gold project ("Fondaway Canyon" or "Project") located in Churchill County, Nevada.
Fondaway Canyon Drill Program Update
The drill program at Fondaway Canyon, as announced on September 8, 2020, has concluded with 6 holes drilled for a total 1,996 metres (6,550 feet).
Five of the six drill holes were collared within the Central Target Area, a 1,000 x 700 metre highly mineralized NE-SW extensional zone within the central portion of the 3.5 km long E-W trending Fondaway Canyon gold mineralized corridor. The Central Target Area is a nexus for the gold mineralizing system observed at the Project with the five drill holes focusing on two of the NE-SW (the Half Moon - South Pit and the Colorado - Pack Rat) mineralized zones.
The drill program in the Central Target Area was designed to address two primary objectives:
- Extend the known mineralization; and
- Characterize the known mineralization to assist with geological and resource modelling.
As planned, one hole was collared to test the Pediment Target Area, the westernmost extent of known gold mineralization along the 3.5 km long E-W trending Fondaway Canyon gold mineralized corridor where two vertical drill holes completed in 2002 intersected broad intervals of gold mineralization (refer to Company news release dated May 21, 2020 for further details).
The vast majority of the drill core was sampled in its entirety and all the drill core has been delivered to the analytical lab for cutting and assaying. Due to the sample backlog experienced by the analytical lab the Company does not anticipate receiving results until well into December.
Scott Frostad, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person (as defined in NI 43-101) who reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in the news release.
