Galantas Gold Intersects 71 Meters at 0.76 g/t Gold in Its First Drill Hole at Andacollo Gold

 

 

 

 

 

Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V: GAL) (AIM: GAL) announces positive results from its first drill hole at Andacollo Gold project in Chile. The ongoing 15,000-meter drill program, currently with two rigs, is designed to increase confidence in the Mineral Resource, provide infill drilling for the mine plan under development, and test new exploration targets. The first hole (AN26001) was drilled in the Tres Perlas pit area and had the objective of increasing confidence in the manto-hosted gold resource. Gold and total copper assays have been received while soluble copper and cyanide-soluble copper assays are still pending.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Significant gold intersections in hole AN26001:
    • 71 meters at 0.76 grams per tonne gold from 50 m to 122 m, including 10 m at 3.15 g/t Au, which in turn included 3 m at 6.68 g/t Au
    • 17 m at 0.52 g/t Au from 145 m
    • 18 m at 0.91 g/t Au from 213 m, including 3 m at 3.24 g/t Au
    • 18 m at 0.63 g/t Au from 298 m
  • Gold mineralization in mantos: These mineralized intercepts represent manto mineralization hosted in volcanic rocks, typical of the gold mineralization comprising the Andacollo Gold Mineral Resource. The higher-grade zones appear to be related to primary mineralization in the mantos themselves and not to post-manto structures as is observed in other parts of the Andacollo Gold Mineral Resource. This suggests potential lateral continuity and therefore tonnage potential for these higher-grade zones.
  • Copper values: Copper values in the gold-mineralized intervals are low, as expected, which bodes well for heap-leaching. This drill hole did not target the chalcocite blanket that is postulated to extend from Teck’s adjacent Carmen de Andacollo porphyry copper deposit.
  • Resource confidence: AN26001 was drilled in the Inferred Resource area of the Tres Perlas pit. These drill results add confidence to this portion of the Mineral Resource.

 

Mario Stifano, the Company’s CEO, commented: “We are very encouraged by the results from our first drill hole at Andacollo Gold. The 71-meter intercept at well above average resource grade adds further confidence to the current Mineral Resource. The multiple zones of higher-grade mineralization in manto mineralization, as opposed to in cross-cutting structures, gives us confidence that we will be able to identify more zones of higher-grade mineralization for inclusion in the mine plan that is currently being developed. In addition, the low copper values in this drill hole bode well for gold heap leaching. The ongoing program will also test for copper mineralization on the Andacollo Gold project.”

Sampling and QA/QC

 

Drill core was logged, split, and sampled at site by Company personnel. Samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas, a certified Laboratory in Santiago, Chile. Samples were analyzed using Fire Assay-Atomic Absorption for gold, with gravimetric assay for samples exceeding 5 g/t Au; Atomic Absorption for total copper and total silver; and 36-element ICP-OES using total digestion (4-acid digestion). The Company’s analytical protocol includes appropriate QA/QC procedures including insertion of certified standards, blanks, and duplicates.
