Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 8, 2024) - Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV: EDG) (OTC Pink: ENDGF) (FSE: 3EG) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that drill crews mobilized to site on July 4th and drilling has commenced at the Reliance Gold Property (the "Property") in southern British Columbia. Exploration crews have been active on site since May conducting target generation field work, environmental baseline studies and community consultations. The road accessible Property is located 4 kilometres ("km") east of the village of Gold Bridge, and 10 km north of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced over 4 million ounces of gold.
The planned 2024 program consists of up to 10,000 metres ("m") of diamond drilling with the objective of expanding the gold zones discovered within the Royal Shear, at depth and along strike. In the previous three seasons the Company has completed 82 diamond drill holes for 17,907 m along 1.5 km of the Royal Shear gold-mineralized trend. Drilling to date has been extremely successful with 53 of the 82 diamond drill holes returning drill intersections in excess of 10 gram X metre gold. Highlight diamond drill results include:
-
15.70 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold over 24.8 m including 26.96 gpt gold over 4.1 m.
-
8.62 gpt gold over 24.4 m including 17.02 gpt gold over 4.3 m.
-
8.47 gpt gold over 24.9 m including 16.27 gpt gold over 10.5 m.
-
5.80 gpt gold over 23.0 m including 8.52 gpt gold over 12.7 m
-
8.41 gpt gold over 12.0 m including 11.85 gpt gold over 7.7 m.
-
8.06 gpt gold over 13.5 m including 10.41 gpt gold over 5.5 m.
-
7.65 gpt gold over 12.7 m including 10.00 gpt gold over 8.7 m.
-
3.05 gpt gold over 139.9 m including 12.85 gpt gold over 12.9 m.
Drilling has been initiated at the Imperial Zone with the objective to expand high-grade mineralization along strike and to depth with four to six holes. The 2024 drilling program is anticipated to take approximately five months to complete. The program will also focus on previously untested areas between Imperial and Eagle, along strike to the northwest of Imperial, and at depth at Eagle and Imperial Zones. (see Figure 1 below).
Over the past two months the Company has completed Terraspec-assisted alteration logging on selected drill holes, a LiDAR survey that includes the Olympic Target area, a detailed drone magnetic survey along the Royal Shear trend, and geochemical surface sampling and prospecting to expand the Upper Eagle soil grid. This work will assist in generating additional drill targets along the Royal Shear trend, and in revising the 3D geologic model in anticipation of an inaugural mineral resource estimate.
