Outback Goldfields Corp.: Provides Exploration and Corporate Update

18.08.2021  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, Aug. 18, 2021 - Outback Goldfields Corp. (the "Company" or "Outback") (CSE: OZ) is pleased to provide an update on exploration and corporate activities and announce the addition of Liz Monger as a Strategic Advisor.

COVID-19 Lockdowns

Over the past six weeks Victoria, Australia has had a series of COVID-19 related shutdowns. In accordance with our stringent health and safety policies, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Outback Goldfields Australia, put the safety of our contractors and employees as our highest priority. As such, certain measures, including working from home and enhanced safety precautions have been put in place. Exploration work continues in a modified way as mining is considered an essential service by the Victorian government. The net effect is that there have been delays in assay results and the Company's ability to gain landholder access some delays with drilling and some sampling. The Company is committed to following all local health orders and is encouraged that restrictions appear to be easing which will enable the Company to resume its ramp up of our exploration program in the near term.

Exploration Update

Exploration continues across the project portfolio (see news releases dated May 3rd, 2021, June 8th, 2021 and June 28th, 2021) and is comprised of property-wide geochemical sampling (rocks and soils) and geological mapping and prospecting.

Yeungroon: At Yeungroon the current focus has been on the eastern side of the property associated with the northern extent of the Wedderburn goldfield. Here, soil sampling and prospecting along prominent ridges have been completed with samples now pending in the lab. The Company has also received the final data from a recently completed 85 km2 LiDAR survey over the Wedderburn area. Numerous areas of previously unrecognised historic surface disturbance have been identified and prioritised for systematic follow-up.

The Company is also finalizing the collar locations for a large RAB (rotary air-blast) drilling program across the Golden Jacket area on the western side of the property. The RAB program will consist of a series of long east-west traverses of closely spaced shallow holes designed to test the bedrock below post-mineralization cover rocks. The data will be used to prioritise areas for follow-up diamond drilling. The Company is also planning a short diamond drilling program consisting of three to four holes designed to test the high-grade gold potential along strike and below the historic, Golden Jacket mine, associated with the property-scale Golden Jacket fault.

Ballarat West: At Ballarat West, the Company has completed numerous road-side soil sample traverses and has also planned multiple soil grids covering areas of known prospective Ordovician rocks that locally crop-out through widespread, post-mineralization cover-rocks. Over 3,000 sample locations are planned, and sampling is set to commence once land-access agreements are in place. Structural mapping and prospecting along strike from known reef-occurrences (e.g., Gassies) has also commenced.

Glenfine: At Glenfine, the Company is awaiting final assays from the recently completed diamond and RC drill program along the Reef 2 to Glenfine South corridor (see news release dated May 19th, 2021). Planning is underway to further explore the prospective 20 km trend along the Glenfine basalt dome where widely spaced historic drilling along its eastern and western margins have outlined numerous occurrences of gold mineralization (e.g., British Banner) hosted near the basalt and meta-sediment contact.

Silver Spoon: At Silver Spoon, the Company is awaiting final grant of the Exploration Licence (EL006951). Once approved, a property-wide program consisting of soil and rock geochemistry followed by diamond drilling is anticipated. The centre of the tenement is 20 km southeast of the world-class Fosterville gold mine of Kirkland Lake Gold.

Advisor

The Company is pleased to announce that Liz Monger has agreed to advise Outback on Investor Relations and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) matters. Liz has 25 years of investor relations experience in the junior mining sector with a more recent focus on developing and implementing ESG protocols. She is currently Vice President, Investor Relations with KORE Mining Ltd. and was previously Manager, Investor Relations and Corporate Secretary at Midas Gold Inc. (now Perpetua Resources).

The Company's investor relations contract with MARS Investor Relations ended on August 12, 2021 and the Company would like to thank Neil MacRae and team for their efforts during the early stages of Outback where we raised initial funds, re-branded into Outback Goldfields and completed our qualifying transaction.

DTC Eligibility

The Company is pleased to report that it is now DTC eligible. These transfers aid funds in the US to trade Outback shares and should aid with liquidity.

DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), one of the world's largest securities depositories that manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Outback is now eligible to be electronically cleared and settled, which will streamline the process of trading and provide direct access to investors in the U.S. OTC capital markets.

Community Engagement

Outback recognises the importance of open and honest community engagement in all our exploration activities. We approach all our exploration activities in a sustainable manner and ensure our activities comply with the Victorian Code of Practice for Mineral Exploration. As such, community consultation with local landowners has commenced well and is ongoing.
