NewOrigin Gold Begins Drilling to Test IP Chargeability Anomalies at Depth on North Abitibi Gold Project
September 22, 2021 - NewOrigin Gold Corp. (TSXV:NEWO) (OTC:TROIF) has commenced a 2,200 metre ("m") diamond drill program on its North Abitibi Gold Project in northeastern Ontario. The drill program is designed to test four separate Induced Polarization ("IP") chargeability anomalies at vertical depths up to 550m where prior drilling was limited to 150m vertical depths. All IP drill targets represent potential extensions to known gold zones. "Historic drilling at North Abitibi has been limited to testing for near surface gold mineralization. NewOrigin's drill program is designed to test deeper IP chargeability anomalies as the source of the multiple pulses of gold mineralization defined to date over an aggregate ~3 kilometre ("km") strike length. At North Abitibi historic drilling has identified gold bearing pyrite which makes drilling the untested deeper IP targets more attractive." commented Elijah Tyshynski, Lead Director of NewOrigin Gold.

North Abitibi is a 10 km long property, covering over 4,200 hectares extending along the "Casa Berardi Break". The Property is located approximately 120 km northeast of the town of Cochrane, Ontario near the Ontario-Quebec border, approximately 40 km west of Hecla's Casa Berardi Gold Mine and approximately 50 km south of Kirkland Lake Gold's Detour Lake Gold Mine. Nearby infrastructure includes power lines servicing the Detour Lake Mine and highway and gravel road access. Edcor Drilling Services Inc. have mobilized a drill to site with the 2021 drilling campaign commencing this week.
In 2019 NewOrigin identified multiple high chargeability IP anomalies which represent possible extensions to known surface gold zones. Four diamond drill holes with an average 500m drill length are planned to test for the source of the near surface gold mineralization at depth:
-
1.Spade Lake Zone East - Historic drill intercepts with values up to 23.4 g/t Au over 1.5m, and an Untested IP trend coincident with gold bearing till surface anomaly
-
2.Spade Lake Zone - Historic near surface intersections of up 6.07 g/t Au over 6.0m
-
3.Road Zone - Historic drill intercepts with values up to 17.8 g/t Au over 1.6m
-
4.East Central Zone - Historic drill intercepts with values up to 0.74 g/t Au over 20m

NewOrigin holds 100% interest in the North Abitibi claims. The claims are subject to a back in right held by Vista Gold Corp. whereby once NewOrigin has spent $2,000,000 on the property, Vista has the option to earn back a 51% interest by spending $4,000,000 on the property over three years. If Vista declines to back in, Vista's interest will revert to a 3% NSR royalty. NewOrigin may buy back 1% NSR for $1,000,000.
