Angus Gold Inc. (TSX-V: GUS |
OTC: ANGVF)
(“
Angus” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce the third and final set of assay results from
its 2022 drill program at the Golden Sky Project in Wawa, Ontario.
Results from fifteen (15) holes were successful in confirming the
extension of the strike length of the Dorset Gold Zone 450 metres
to the west. Hole GS-22-31 which intersected 1.4 g/t Au over
12.6 metres including 2.9 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, and
GS-22-32 which intersected 3.1 g/t Au over 4.5 metres
including 5.3 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, were drilled as a fence from
north to south, 450 metres west of the historic Dorset resource.
These holes were testing a newly interpreted structural model of
the Dorset Gold Zone and were successful in identifying its
potential western extension. This western extension in combination
with the eastern extension (see news release dated February 1st,
2023) extends the strike length of the Dorset Gold Zone by almost
one kilometre. Angus is in the process of working to define the
full strike length of the gold mineralized system at Dorset that
lies within the Mishi Creek Deformation Zone (“MCDZ”), including
infill drilling between the new step out holes and the historic
resource. The MCDZ can be traced for at least seven kilometres
within the Golden Sky project. Holes GS-22-57 and GS-22-58 were
both drilled within Dorset Gold Zone and were planned to target
higher grade material. Hole GS-22-57 was successful in intersecting
a thick interval of gold mineralization of 1.5 g/t Au over 22.0
metres including a high-grade interval of 3.4 g/t over
5.1 metres, and has improved the results from adjacent holes
used to calculate the 2007 resource. Similarly, GS-22-58 has
returned an interval of 2.6 g/t Au over 10.0 metres within a
broader mineralized zone of 1.7 g/t Au over 17.0 metres has also
improved the results from adjacent holes. The Dorset Gold Zone
contains a historic estimated resource (using a 0.50 g/t Au
cut-off) of an indicated resource of 40,000 ounces grading 1.4 g/t
Au, and an inferred resource of 180,000 ounces grading 1.2 g/t Au.
Steve Burleton, Chief Executive Officer of
Angus, states: “The most recent results at Dorset are extremely
encouraging for a number of reasons. In addition to increasing
grade and continuity of the Dorset Gold Zone, we are showing the
potential of more than doubling the existing strike length of the
historic resource. Our work at Dorset is now focused on two things,
continued delineation of the higher-grade material and infilling
back from the two large step out sections in advance of a potential
resource update. Our goal is to advance the size and quality of
Dorset to demonstrate the incredible potential we see on this
structure. With a fully-functioning, self-contained camp on site we
have also increased our productivity and are looking forward to
accelerating our growth of Golden Sky in 2023, including the
upcoming drill program on our BIF Gold Zone and the new Splay Zone
to the south of the BIF. We have just completed our winter
geophysical program and are in the process of defining numerous new
drill targets to be tested in 2023.”
The ongoing drill program at Golden Sky focuses
on two target areas within the property: the Dorset Gold Zone,
which hosts a gold resource and the BIF Zone, new gold zone
discovery in a large banded iron formation.

The 2022 drill program at the Dorset Gold Zone
was designed to test exploration targets to the east and west of
the historic resource using newly interpreted structural offsets
that suggest the Au-mineralizing system has a longer strike length
than had previously been defined. Angus’ high-definition magnetics
survey, flown in 2020, in addition to grab samples collected during
the Angus field programs were used to select drill targets for the
2022 step-out drill program. The last resource calculated on the
Dorset Gold Zone was completed in 2007.
The following is a summary of drill placement
and assay results for completion of the 2022 Golden Sky Project
exploration program.
Holes GS-22-31 and GS-22-32 were drilled as a
fence over a coincident IP geophysical anomaly and an outcrop
sample collected in 2020 that assayed 7.75 g/t Au. Results from
these holes were used to plan the recently completed 2023 Dorset
drilling program and to lay the groundwork for a future resource
update.
Hole GS-22-48 was drilled 425 metres east of the
historic Dorset resource. The mineralized zone was intersected near
surface and will be used in conjunction with the previously
released GS-22-47 to vector follow-up drilling, along strike, to
the east of the Dorset Gold Zone.
Holes GS-22-51 and GS-22-53 were Angus’ first
exploration holes drilled within the Marten Zone, a deformation
zone that is subparallel to the Dorset Zone, located approximately
900 metres to the south-east.
Holes GS-22-57 and GS-22-58 were drilled within
the Dorset Gold Zone resource area. The holes were designed to test
high-grade ore shoots. Both holes were successful in improving upon
results in the adjacent drill holes that were used to calculate the
2007 Dorset resource and have provided important information
regarding the orientation of high-grade mineralization within the
Dorset Gold Zone.
The Golden Sky Project The
100%-owned Golden Sky Project is located within the Mishibishu Lake
Greenstone Belt of Northern Ontario, which is host to the
high-grade Eagle River and the Mishi open-pit gold mines of Wesdome
Gold Mines Ltd. (“Wesdome”). The Company’s
234-square-kilometres land package is located approximately
50 kilometres west of the town of Wawa and is situated
immediately between the two Wesdome mines. The project is host to
the near-surface Dorset Gold Zone, which contains a historic
estimated resource (using a 0.50 g/t Au cut-off) consisting of an
indicated resource of 40,000 ounces of gold (780,000 tonnes grading
1.4 g/t Au), and an inferred resource of 180,000 ounces of gold
(4,760,000 tonnes grading 1.2 g/t Au). For greater details on
the Golden Sky Project, please refer to the NI 43-101 technical
report for the Golden Sky Project entitled, “NI 43-101 Technical
Report Wawa Property Ontario, Canada” dated February 18, 2020, and
