GOLDPLAY SIGNS OPTION AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE 100%
INTEREST IN TWO LARGE BC PROPERTIES WITH DISTRICT SCALE POTENTIAL
FOR HIGH GRADE EPITHERMAL GOLD AND COPPER – GOLD PORPHYRY
DEPOSITS.
HISTORICAL GRAB SAMPLES ESSAYED UP TO 126 G/T GOLD, AND 1%
COPPER AND 2 METRES CHANNEL SAMPLE AVERAGED 85 G/T GOLD, 51 G/T
SILVER AND OVER 1% COPPER
VANCOUVER,
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA -- September 1, 2021 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- (TSXV:AUC),
(Frankfurt:9FY), Goldplay Mining (the "Company"
or "Goldplay"),
is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement (the
"Agreement")
with Cazador Resources Ltd. ("Cazador") to earn a 100 % interest in
two properties known as "Big Frank" and "Nuit Mountain" (together,
the "Properties").
The projects are located in the western Chilcotin District of
southwestern British Columbia (see Figure 1) and have
district
scale potential for both high-grade epithermal gold and copper-gold
porphyry deposits. Further information on the transaction is
detailed under "Terms of the Agreement" below.
Historic
Highlights
-
grab samples assaying up
to 126
grams per tonne gold and over 1% copper.
-
Historic channel samples with up
to 85
grams per tonne gold, 51 grams per tonne silver and over 1% copper
over 2 metres.
Catalin
Kilofliski, Goldplay Mining President & CEO
stated: "We are very
excited about today's announcement. Through this transaction,
Goldplay has a unique opportunity to capitalize on the earlier work
completed on the Properties and the potential to develop and
control district scale projects and become a significant gold and
copper-gold explorer in B.C. Given the encouraging historical
results, an exploration crew has already been mobilized and intends
to begin the initial work program on September 1st."
THE
PROPERTIES
The
Big Frank Property (9,470.8 hectares) covers a 20-kilometre-long
favourable geological trend and is located approximately 285 kilometres
northwest of Vancouver or alternatively about 30 kilometres north
of the head of Knight Inlet with logging roads occurring in the
western portions of the property. Five principal target areas
include:
-
Redbreast/Sawyers
Grid/Hannah/Big Frank/Discovery - the area has been variously named and at
times only partially held and explored by respective parties.
Significant ice retreat continues to expose the westward expansion
of alteration over the Redbreast area with numerous copper and
molybdenum talus fine samples (up to 1000 ppm copper and 1000 ppm
molybdenum) and sporadic rock gold anomalies up to 11.2 g/t Au.
Further to the east at the Hannah/Saffron/Big Frank, epithermal
style veins are noted.
A select grab sample assayed 126 grams per tonne gold and over 1
per cent copper. A channel sample averaged 85 grams per tonne gold,
51 grams per tonne silver and over 1 per cent copper over 2
metres.
Drilling in 1988 (9 drillholes
totalling 984 m) returned sporadic results of up to
0.53 ounce
per ton gold and 4.3 % copper over narrow intervals. Numerous untested EM
anomalies were noted and obvious propylitic (chlorite) alteration
is noted in the satellite imagery to the NE. (Source: BC Minfile

Gold Potential of the Hannah 1- 11 Claims for United Pacific Gold
Ltd by M.P Twyman & F.D Fergeron, 1988).
-
Confederation
Glacier- a
1-kilometre-wide alteration zone is noted on the northern edge of
the Confederation Glacier with the collection of
22 talus
fines collected at 50 m intervals returning up to 1,550 ppb Au, 318
ppm Cu and 11.2 ppm Ag (Source: B.C Assessment Report 31228:
Preparatory Geological & GIS Compilation Studies on the LR
Project for United Exploration Management by Carl Von Einsiedel,
2009).
-
Hoodoo Creek
North – a
1 km 2 open-ended historical soil anomaly (> 100
ppb Au, >500 ppm Cu, > 8 ppm Ag and > 25 ppm Mo)
is noted in
reports by Amax Corp. in 1978 and was later drilled by Utah Mines
in 1979 & 1980 along the southern portion of the anomaly
targeting potential for a deep molybdenum porphyry. Exploration efforts
did not test the better portions of the copper and gold anomaly as
much as 600 metres uphill from this
drilling. Alteration viewed in satellite imagery appears to show
room to grow this geochemical anomaly particularly to the north
towards the Darlene Minfile occurrence and along other structures
mapped to the northeast. (Source: B.C Minfile: 092N029: Hoodoo
North). Hoodoo
South:
between 1977-1982 Amax outlined molybdenite and copper
mineralization over
an area of 500 m x 500 m (Source B.C Minfile 092N 034: Hoodoo
South).
-
Breccia
– extensive alteration is
observed in satellite imagery between the Redbreast and Lancer
Mountain areas and appears to have seen little to no exploration
perhaps because the area is just recently free of snow and
ice. Further to the south and west of the
Redbreast Area the GR 16-18 series rock samples have returned up to
0.16 g/t Au and 0.17 % Cu. (Source: B.C Assessment Report 31,228:
Preparatory Geological & GIS Compilation Studies on the LR
Project for United Exploration Management by Carl Von Einsiedel,
2009).
The
Nuit Mountain Property (2,448.8 hectares) covers an 8-kilometre-long alteration
trend and is located 170
km southwest of Williams Lake or alternatively 75 kilometres east
of the Big Frank Property (see Figures 1 & 2) and has road
access to within four kilometers of the property. Exploration in
the vicinity of the Nuit Mountain Property was prompted in the
1960's by the sighting of large rusty gossans and at least seven
documented copper and gold mineral showings (Niut Mountain, Down's
Showing, Fly, Harvey Gold, Fly Creek, Rusty and
Anthony). Examples of know mineralization include a
composite sample of well mineralized rocks collected in 1972 along
the length of the Fly showing which averaged 0.677% copper over 200
m.
At Harvey Gold located 1,200
metres northeast of the Fly Showing, several historical samples
were taken with the two best samples yielding 0.159 and 0.746 g/t
gold with subdued
copper. At an unnamed occurrence, quartz vein float, was found in
2006 within the main south-flowing creek on the property and
returned 4.96 g/t
gold. Much of the
historical work at Nuit focused on the well exposed gossans along
ridges but recent programs (>2007) obtained strong copper and
gold geochemical results from heavily vegetated, and overburden
covered slopes at lower elevations. The last field program
completed in 2016 recommended additional work to follow up
geophysical and geochemical targets, many of which received little
or no systematic evaluation. (Sources: B.C Minfile and B.C Assessment
Report 35815: Geochemical Sampling and Prospecting at the Buzz
Property for Strategic Metals by A. Mitchell and H. Burrell,
2016).
THE
OPPORTUNITY
Both the Nuit Mountain and Big
Frank Properties exhibit widespread alteration, high-grade gold and
copper-gold mineralization, and favorable geology trending
over 8-20 km. They are
both relatively underexplored and have seen no systematic or modern
exploration within the last few decades whilst glacial retreat
continues to make new exposures in the case of Big Frank. Previous
exploration programs have discovered significant copper and gold
values and recommended further work. The Company and Cazador
recognize the potential for district scale mineralization in the
area. Under the terms of the Agreement, Goldplay has agreed to
incur $25,000 in expenditures on Nuit and $50,000 of expenditures
on Big Frank on or before December 31, 2021 with the intention of
preparing NI 43-101 technical reports on both
Properties.
TERMS
OF THE AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Agreement,
Goldplay may acquire a 100% interest in the Properties by
completing the following work commitments on the Properties and by

Nuit Mountain and $50K a year for Big Frank will become due
starting in Year 5. The Agreement is subject to acceptance by the
TSX Venture Exchange.
