TORONTO, Nov. 3, 2021 /CNW/ - Treasury Metals Inc. (TSX: TML) (OTCQX: TSRMF) (“Treasury” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from an additional 4,000 metres from 27 holes of a planned 22,000 metre diamond drilling program for 2021 at the Goldlund Gold Deposit (“Goldlund”) located within the larger 100% owned Goliath Gold Complex (the “Project” or “GGC”), which includes the Goliath, Goldlund and Miller deposits along a prospective 65-kilometre trend in Northwestern Ontario.

The Company has drilled approximately 22,200 metres (123 holes) to date at Goldlund.  Following the results released today, gold assays are pending on 5,200 metres (21 holes) at Goldlund.  Drilling in 2021 at Goldlund was primarily focused on infill and expansion drilling in the main Goldlund PEA pit design footprint; however, the program also targeted near surface, on strike extensions of mineralization. Drill results today are a combination of infill and expansion drill holes throughout the Goldlund project testing all mineralized zones. 

Jeremy Wyeth, President and CEO of Treasury Metals, commented: “We are pleased to report additional drill results from our 2021 Goldlund drilling campaign that show several high grade intervals and the extension into Zone 6, which lies outside to the northwest of the main Goldlund PEA pit.  The results show good mineralization of near surface material that can potentially allow for the expansion of the pits and increase our confidence in our resource model.”

Hole GL-21-073 was targeting inter-zone mineralization related to Zone 6 as well as Zone 3. This hole was a 130 metre step out to the northwest in the footwall of the main PEA Pit. The hole intersected 5.50 m grading 66.56 g/t Au including 0.70 m grading 210.00 g/t Au, 0.80 m grading 78.40 g/t Au and 1.00 m grading 138.00 g/t Au on the inter-zone mineralization related to Zone 6 at the hanging wall contact of a felsic intrusive unit. The geology team is working to better understand the relationship of this intrusive felsic dyke rock and the mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks that host Zone 4, 5, 6 and 8. A litho-structural review on the controls of mineralization in the area is underway, using structural and geochemical data from this year’s program.

Holes GL-21-080, GL-21-81 and GL-21-082 were drilled targeting Zone 4 following up on June and July’s Zone 4 results as infill holes approximately 25 metres in the footwall of the main PEA Pit. Each of these holes intersected Zone 4 mineralization which can be seen in Table 1.

Holes GL-21-080 and GL-21-082 were drilled to reach Zone 6 located in the footwall approximately 30 metres from Zone 4. The Treasury team is pleased to see that Zone 6 also showed promising results, where hole GL-21-082 intersected 4.60 m grading 12.70 g/t Au, including: 0.6 m grading 6.51 g/t Au and 1.40 m grading 37.50 g/t Au from 140.4 m to 145 m downhole. Hole GL-21-082 also intersected 8.00 m grading 3.53 g/t Au, including 1.00 m grading 26.10 g/t Au in Zone 6 from 155 m to 163 m downhole. Also, from Zone 6, hole GL-21-080 intersected 6.90 m grading 7.07 g/t Au, including: 0.50 m grading 61.20 g/t Au and 0.50 m grading 26.40 g/t Au. Results in Zone 6 from GL-21-080 and GL-21-082 were associated with mafic flows adjacent to felsic intrusive dykes. Improving the geological model for this mineralization is ongoing work for the team into 2022.

Additional positive results were returned for Zone 5 this month, including GL-21-052 intersecting 13.00 m grading 1.05 g/t Au. The new results come as the follow up Zone 5 infill drill program wrapped up in October, which tested the on strike continuity from positive results released in September.

Drilling is ongoing at the Goldlund Wild Cat Exploration targets (Ocelot and Caracal) located approximately halfway between Goldlund and Miller. This first pass drill program of approximately 1,800 metres will test two geophysical anomies with similar signatures to Goldlund and Miller.

QA / QC
The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with the CIM Exploration Best Practices Guidelines. The drill core is sawn in half with one-half of the core sample dispatched to Activation Laboratories Ltd. facility located in Dryden, Ontario. The other half of the core is retained for future assay verification and/or metallurgical testing. Other QA/QC procedures include the insertion of blanks and Canadian Reference Standards for every tenth sample in the sample stream. A quarter core duplicate is assayed every 20^th sample. The laboratory has its own QA/QC protocols running standards and blanks with duplicate samples in each batch stream.  Additional checks are routinely run on anomalous values including gravimetric analysis and pulp metallic screen fire assays. Gold analysis is conducted by lead collection, fire assay with atomic absorption and/or gravimetric finish on a 50-gram sample. Check assays are conducted at a secondary ISO certified laboratory (in this case AGAT Laboratories located in Mississauga, Ontario) following the completion of a program.

Note to United States Investors
All resource estimates included in this pess release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards, which differ in some respects from United States standards. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms “inferred mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” “measured mineral resources” and “mineral resources” that may be used or referenced are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43 101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Standards”). The CIM Standards differ significantly from standards in the United States. While the terms “mineral resource,” “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” and “inferred mineral resources” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, United States companies are only permitted to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by standards in the United States as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information regarding resources contained or referenced in this [name of disclosure document] containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies.
