G2 Goldfields Inc. (“
G2” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to
provide an update on the ongoing exploration program at the
Company’s 27,719-acre OKO-AREMU gold project. G2 recently announced
an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“
MRE”) for
the OKO-Aremu project comprised of
922,000 ounces of
gold (“
Indicated”) and
1,099,000
ounces of gold (“
Inferred”) [press
release dated April 03, 2024].
G2’s OKO gold resource lies along a prominent 2.5 km long
north-south structure which is defined by the high grade OMZ
resource to the north [688,000 ounces Au @ 9.03 g/t
Au (Indicated) and 495,000 ounces Au at 6.38 g/t
Au (Inferred)] and the Ghanie open pit and underground
resource to the south. G2 is currently drilling the southern half
of the structure, where results demonstrate significant potential
for the expansion of the established resource.
Assays from sixteen diamond drill holes (totalling 5,411m) are
included in this release. A complete set of drill results is
available here. Highlights from the recent drill
holes are contained in Table 1.

Figure 1
Follow up drilling, which was guided by hole GDD-115
(52.3m @ 2.1 g/t Au, see press releases dated June
25, 2024), has led to the discovery of a significant new gold
horizon to the south of previously defined gold mineralization. Six
new drill holes define this emerging zone which has traced gold
mineralization from surface to vertical depths of almost 400m.
Table 2 contains these holes in descending order from surface.

The intercepts reported are down-hole widths.
True widths are estimated between 75% and 85% of reported down-hole
widths. Gold grades are uncapped.
The emerging new zone bounds previously defined gold
mineralization to the north, however, remains open to the south as
well as down plunge.
FIGURE 2
In addition, drilling in the northern and southern portion of
the 1.2 km long Ghanie Zone has been successful in expanding both
near surface as well as deeper gold mineralization. Hole GDD-134
intersected 18m @ 1.1 g/t Au whilst hole GDD-121A,
located approximately 1 km further south, returned 16.5 m @
2.9 g/t Au (including 4.5m @ 6.9 g/t Au),
both holes intercepting gold mineralization at vertical depths of
approximately 100 meters. Hole GDD-126 (6m @ 4.6 g/t
Au) and GDD-132W1 (4.5 @ 3.7 g/t Au)
extended the deeper gold mineralization to the north at vertical
depths of 225m and 500m respectively. Currently, four rigs are
drilling on the Ghanie deposit.
FIGURE 3
Dan Noone, G2 CEO stated, “These recent drill results continue
to demonstrate the extraordinary exploration potential of the
greater OKO gold system. Gold mineralization in this central part
of the greater trend is truly open in all directions. With working
capital in excess of Cdn$50 million, we are well capitalized as we
continue to explore this world class camp.”
QA/QC
Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage
facility located on the OKO project site, Guyana. Core samples from
the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are
sent to MSALABS Guyana, in Georgetown, Guyana, which is an
accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. Samples from
sections of core with obvious gold mineralisation are analysed for
total gold using an industry-standard 500g metallic screen fire
assay (MSALABS method MSC 550). All other samples are analysed for
gold using standard Fire Assay-AA with atomic absorption finish
(MSALABS method; FAS- 121). Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold
are analysed utilizing standard fire assay gravimetric methods
(MSALABS method; FAS-425). Certified gold reference standards,
blanks, and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample
stream, as part of G2 Goldfields’ quality control/quality assurance
program (QAQC). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results
reported herein.

The G2 Goldfields team is comprised of professionals who have
been directly responsible for the discovery of millions of ounces
of gold in Guyana as well as the financing and development of the

current filings, AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU) currently owns 15% of
the issued and outstanding shares of G2.
In April 2024, G2 announced an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
(“MRE”) for the Oko property in Guyana [see press
release dated April 03, 2024]. Highlights of the Updated MRE
include:
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Oko
Main Zone (OMZ):
- 495,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 2,413,000 tonnes @
6.38 g/t Au
- 686,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 2,368,000 tonnes @
9.03 g/t Au
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the
Ghanie Zone:
- 604,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 12,216,000 tonnes @
1.54 g/t Au
- 236,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 3,344,000 tonnes @
2.20 g/t Au
The MRE was prepared by Micon International Limited with an
effective date of March 27, 2024. Significantly, the updated
mineral resources lie within 500 meters of surface. The Oko
district has been a prolific alluvial goldfield since its initial
discovery in the 1870’s, and modern exploration techniques continue
to reveal the considerable potential of the district.
