Elevation Gold Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ELVT) (OTCQX: EVGDF) is pleased to report assay results for four reverse circulation holes that were drilled in the Reynolds Pit area and the ROM Pad Ramp area (see Table 1).
Highlights
Tim Swendseid, Chief Executive Officer of Elevation Gold stated: “The final results from our reverse circulation program that ended earlier this year have now been received, and the mineralized zone intercepted by AR23-662R (reported April 26, 2023) has been confirmed to continue both to the east and west, by hole AR23-663R to the east, and hole AR23-656R to the west, with grades well above our operating cutoff grade of 0.31g/T Au. This zone is located approximately ½ km from our active West Pit, in an area fully permitted for mining, and the potential for continuation even further to the east and west will be tested by additional drilling. We anticipate the identification of these additional mineralized areas will extend the operational time period of the Moss mine.
Reynolds Pit Area
Assay results for two RC holes drilled on two lines in the Reynolds pit area are reported in this press release (Figure 1 shows collar locations). AR23-661R was drilled to the north-northeast into the Moss vein and associated structures, and AR23-663R was drilled to the south-southeast across the north-dipping structures. Both holes intersected gold and silver mineralization. AR23-663 expands the zone of known mineralization in the southern Reynolds pit area to the east by about 62.5 meters.

True thickness of the grade intersections reported in this press release should be 80-95% of apparent thickness. Although true thickness of the stockwork system between the Moss and Ruth Veins is generally difficult to assess due to the variably oriented multiple veins and veinlets that make up this zone, stockwork mineralization intersections reported for angled drillholes in the table above are considered reflective of the broader bulk tonnage mineralization target zone thickness. Assay data are uncapped. AuEq = Au + Ag/75. RC drilling was conducted by Boart Longyear. RC samples, collected every 1.52 m, were transported in sealed bags to Skyline Assayers and Laboratories (Skyline) in Tucson, AZ. Field control QAQC samples, including standards, blanks, and field duplicates, were inserted into the sample stream at a rate of three field control samples every 20 regular samples. Gold was determined by fire-assay fusion of 30 g sub-samples with atomic absorption spectroscopy (method FA-01). Overlimit samples of gold were assayed by gravimetric means (FA-02). Skyline Laboratories is accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015. |
ROM Pad Ramp
Two holes were drilled between the Center pit and the crusher on the haul truck road that connects the West pit with the East pit. These holes were drilled to test for hanging wall mineralization between the crusher and the Center pit. Both holes collared on the same drill pad, and both holes intersected gold and silver mineralization, highlighted by 65.53 meters with average grade of 0.33 g/T au and 3.43 g/T Ag, including 33.53 meters with average grade 0.44 g/T Au, 4.68 g/T Ag (AR23-664R).
