Prosper Gold Extends Length of Gold-bearing System at Golden Corridor to 2.8 km, Intercepts Include 22.7 g/t Gold over 0.55 m – Golden Sidewalk Project, Red Lake, ON
17 Januar 2022 - 2:00PM
Prosper Gold Corp. ("
Prosper Gold" or the
"
Company") (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to report that it
has now intersected gold mineralization along 2.8 kilometres of the
Golden Corridor trend at the Golden Sidewalk Project Red Lake,
Ontario. The Company has completed reconnaissance drilling totaling
21,103 metres in 66 diamond drill holes over 4.8 kilometres of the
Golden Corridor (Figure 1). Drilling continues to outline a large
hydrothermal system, intersecting ankerite ± biotite alteration
with gold mineralization (Figure 2).
Highlights:
- Hydrothermal system with gold
mineralization along 2.8 kilometres of structural corridor that is
parallel and proximal to regional unconformity
- The system remains open to the
east
- High grade intervals up to 22.7 g/t
gold over 0.55 m
- Vein size, abundance, and degree of
alteration increase with depth
- $2.5 M in Company treasury –
drilling is ongoing
“Prosper has discovered a large hydrothermal
system at the Golden Corridor,” commented Peter Bernier, CEO. “The
presence of the unconformity, the geology, scale, alteration,
widespread gold in drilling and the high till samples down-ice
tells us we are on to something significant.”
The hydrothermal system drilled to date is
approximately 2.8 kilometres long and remains open to the east.
Mineralization and alteration assemblages are relatively consistent
along the mineralized trend. Pyrite ± arsenopyrite ± visible gold
occurs in quartz-ankerite ± biotite veins and within
silica-ankerite ± biotite altered wallrock.
The Company has planned a series of deeper drill
holes in the western portion of the system as vein thicknesses and
hydrothermal alteration intensities are increasing at depth. Drill
holes designed to test approximately 300 metres down-dip of the
mineralized intercepts encountered in shallow drilling to date
within the footwall (southern) fault zone at the western structural
corridor. Observations in drill core to date have shown that higher
temperature alteration, predominantly a silica-biotite assemblage,
enveloping larger veins and vein arrays persists in deeper
intersections.
Additional drilling is planned for the eastern
portion of the system where several gold intercepts were
encountered in recent drilling which will be followed up on,
including 22.7 g/t gold over 0.55 metres in drill hole DD21GC039
(Table 1). Drilling in late 2021 in the eastern portion of the
system at the Golden Corridor was successful in intersecting gold
mineralized quartz-ankerite-pyrite veins and wallrock alteration.
Drill holes DD21GC050 through DD21GC053 each intersected several
intervals of gold mineralization below the footwall fault that
coincides with the ultramafic-mafic volcanic contact.

About the Golden Sidewalk
The Golden Sidewalk is a district-scale gold
exploration project covering over 160 square kilometres of
contiguous mineral claims and mining leases (see the Company's Aug.
10, Sept. 8, and Sept. 15, 2020 news releases for details) in the
western Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt, approximately 60 km east of Red
Lake, Ontario. The vehicle-accessible project straddles 12
kilometres of the Balmer Assemblage – Narrow Lake Assemblage
unconformity, a regional-scale feature that has been the Red Lake
exploration guide, but which has seen limited exploration in the
project area. The “Golden Corridor” lies immediately north of the
unconformity and is characterized as a highly prospective trend of
coincident favourable magnetic and resistivity lineaments supported
by highly anomalous gold-in-till samples covering 7.0 by 0.5
kilometres.
QA/QC Procedures
Quality assurance and quality control measures
implemented by the Company include the insertion of certified
reference materials in the sample sequence at a rate of 1 in 20 for
both blank material and certified reference standards. Analytical
results for reference standard and blank samples are scrutinized
internally to ensure adequate analytical precision and accuracy in
both sample preparation and instrumental procedures. A chain of
custody from drilling to laboratory is strictly monitored to ensure
sample and analytical integrity and reliability. Half-split core
samples are sent to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario,
where they are analyzed in 50-gram aliquots using Fire-Assay with
ICP-OES finish. Any overlimit analyses (>10 g/t Au) are
re-analyzed with a pulp metallic screen method designed to give the
most accurate representation of gold concentration in each sample.
AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, ON, is an accredited testing
laboratory having been assessed by the Standards Council of Canada
(SCC) and found to conform with the requirements of ISO/IEC
17025:2017.
