Greenheart Gold Provides an Update on Its Exploration Programs in Guyana and Suriname
LONGUEUIL, Québec, Nov. 11, 2024 -- Greenheart Gold Inc. (TSXV: GHRT) (the "Company" or "Greenheart Gold") is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities in Guyana and Suriname.
Majorodam Project, Suriname
The Majorodam project in Suriname has received results from an extensive first phase soil geochemical sampling program with over 2,000 samples collected. Results shown in Figure 1 indicate two distinct anomalous zones:
(1) a 2 km by 3 km gold in soil anomaly with values reported up to 1.13 g/t Au, located within the same volcanic units that are interpreted to host the Saramacca deposit located 12 km to the north, and
(2) a NE striking gold in soil anomaly, approx. 1 km by 5 km in extent and with assays up to 1.51 g/t Au, aligned with interpreted structural orientations as derived from a 2019 airborne magnetic survey flown over the permit.
Additional infill soil sampling is now underway. Following the results of this infill geochemical program, the Company intends to further validate these results with trenching and, in areas of significant duricrust, shallow scout RC drill programs.
Abuya Project, Guyana
At the Abuya Project in northeastern Guyana, results from the Company's first phase of widely spaced reconnaissance soil geochemical sampling were returned, indicating several anomalous zones for subsequent follow up activities. Samples were 100 m apart on 1 km spaced lines to enable a rapid reduction in search space within the 100 sq km project area. Infill sampling will be carried out at a 500 m by 50 m spacing, to be supported by geological mapping and potential geophysical surveys in early 2025. Results are shown in Figure 2 and highlight anomalous gold values of up to 0.55 g/t Au that appear to coincide with granitic / volcanic contacts and the regional fold axis orientations.
Other projects
The Company is also pleased to announce the commencement of reconnaissance activities at the Igab Project (see September 25, 2024 news release), where work is underway to set up a field camp in advance of initiating a stream sediment sampling program to evaluate the project, expected to begin mid-November. In addition, project generation activities for Greenheart Gold continue at several potential project areas in both Guyana and Suriname and additional updates on these activities are expected to be announced in due course.
Sample Preparation and Analysis
Soil samples of approximately 1 kg are collected immediately below the surface lag and leaf litter, usually at a depth of 5 cm to 30 cm depth below surface. Samples are dispatched to Actlabs in Suriname, including regularly inserted certified reference materials, for preparation that includes drying at 60 ºC and sieving to minus 177 microns. The minus fraction is then pulverized to minus 105 microns. Samples are then transferred internally by Actlabs to their analytical laboratory in Guyana, where they are analysed by 50 g fire assay using method 1A2-50. Samples greater than 5 ppm Au are analysed using a 50 g gravimetric assay.
About Greenheart Gold Corporation
Greenheart Gold is an exploration company that builds on a proven legacy of discoveries within the Guiana Shield, a highly prospective geologic terrain that hosts numerous gold deposits yet remains relatively under-explored. The Company is led by former executives of Reunion Gold, a team that was most recently noted for the discovery and delineation of the multi million-ounce Oko West deposit in Guyana, which was sold to and being advanced to production by G Mining Ventures. Greenheart Gold intends to build on its technical knowledge, strong contact base and success from exploring in the Guiana shield to assemble, maintain and explore a portfolio of early-stage exploration projects in Guyana and Suriname that are prospective for orogenic gold deposits.
Greenheart Gold trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol 'GHRT'. Additional information about the Company is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company's website (www.greenheartgold.com).
