Thesis Gold Inc. (TSX-V: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF) is pleased to announce assay results from the 2024 drill program at Lawyers, part of the 100% owned Lawyers-Ranch Project, located in the prolific Toodoggone Mining District of northern British Columbia.
The recently completed, positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlined a 90% Measured and Indicated potentially mineable resource. Consequently, the 2024 drill program was strategically focused on infilling, upgrading and potentially expanding the most impactful of the 10% inferred ounces by targeting those that could significantly contribute to the upcoming Prefeasibility Study planned for late 2025.
Results from the 2024 drill program successfully confirmed high-grade, near-surface mineralization, while deeper intercepts confirmed modelled stopes and point to the potential for expanding the underground mining scenario with future drill campaigns. These results will be incorporated into the upcoming Prefeasibility Study (PFS), which is expected to further define project economics and resource classification.
2024 Drill Highlights
Dr. Ewan Webster, President and CEO, commented, “These latest drill results are extremely encouraging, as they both continue to validate the high-grade potential near surface and confirm continuity of mineralization at depth. The shallow, high-grade gold and silver intercepts provide an excellent opportunity to enhance the open-pit scenario, while the deeper intervals align well with the underground stopes outlined in the PEA. With silver prices trending upwards, the substantial silver content in these intercepts provides a meaningful tailwind to the project’s economics, complementing the already projected 4 million+ ounces of average annual silver production outlined in the PEA. This progress is a key step in de-risking the project as we move toward our Pre-Feasibility Study in 2025.”
