X-Terra Resources drills more gold at Northwest

The drill holes reported in this press release were drilled over the Rim vein system, which is associated with a kilometric fold hinge and shear zone developed inside the White Brook Ordovician sedimentary formation. The drill program consisted of 1,233 metres including 8 holes drilled in a staggered pattern to test the various types of magnetic contrasts inside a 800 metre long, 200 metre wide section centered on the RIM showing. Two holes intersected a wide gold bearing stockwork which returned isolated grades between 1.0 and 3.2 g/t Au over core lengths varying between 0.4 and 1.3 metres (see table below).

This drill program was designed using the high-definition drone based magnetic survey which highlighted a typical regional fold hinge shape extending for about 1 kilometre north of the RIM vein.

To date, the geological evidence indicates that the gold system is associated with a higher density of quartz veins, ranging from of a few centimetres to 1.5 metres, developed over 20 to 30 metres intervals. Current interpretation of the gold system indicates a northeast orientation parallel to the regional folding axis and a sub-vertical dip and a thickness of approximately 10 metres. Recent drilling has intersected the mineralization down to 100 metres depth, which remains open.

In addition, the RIM vein system is included inside a network of dykes of intermediate composition, which are a few metres thick, surrounded by skarn type alteration, and occasionally hosting fine disseminated sulfides.

Note: Holes RIM-21-07, RIM-21-10 and RIM-21-11 hosted no values above 0.1 g/t Au.

Work and drilling to date have highlighted three favorable factors:

1. The high-grade nature of the RIM system is associated with free gold;
2. An extensive gold bearing footprint as highlighted by drilling, soil and surface sampling (See image below);
3. The RIM system, like other gold bearing veins on the Northwest property are related at the regional scale to the McKenzie Gulch Fault.

Michael Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of X-Terra stated; "These results have now highlighted that strong structural controls can be utilised at RIM in order to provide an orientation to the future exploration programs. A follow up geochemical survey will be carried out to precisely locate the extents of the larger than anticipated gold footprint and possibly highlight other parallel structures."
