G50 Reports High-Grade Intercepts of 3.5% (35,000 ppm) Antimony from its Maiden Drilling Program at White Caps in Nevada
Rhea-AI Summary
G50 Corp (OTCQB: GFTYF) has announced significant results from its maiden RC drilling program at the White Caps project in Nevada. The program, consisting of 12 RC holes totaling 1,385 meters, revealed exceptional antimony values with a peak of 3.5% Sb (35,000 ppm) in hole WCRC25-007.
Three of four tested areas showed significant shallow gold mineralization, with high-grade intercepts (1-12 g/t Au) and broad zones of low-grade gold (0.1-0.3 g/t Au). The White Caps Mine, located 15 km south of Kinross Gold's Round Mountain Mine, historically produced over 125,000 ounces of gold at average grades of approximately 30 g/t Au between 1905 and 1964.
The project encompasses 2,501 acres across 28 patented and 74 unpatented claims, adjacent to Scorpio Gold Corp's Manhattan Mine along the significant Reliance Fault Zone structural corridor.
Positive
- Discovery of high-grade antimony (3.5% Sb) in drilling results
- Significant shallow gold mineralization found in 3 of 4 tested areas
- Strategic location 15 km south of Kinross Gold's Round Mountain Mine
- Historical production of 125,000 oz gold at exceptional grades (30 g/t Au)
- Large land position of 2,501 acres with both patented and unpatented claims
Negative
- Project remains largely underexplored despite historical operations
- Intermittent historical operation suggests potential operational challenges
The drilling program consisted of 12 RC holes drilled earlier this year, for a total of 1,385 meters. In particular, one hole (WCRC25-007), returned exceptionally high antimony values, including a peak of
This initial program confirms gold continuity with high-grade intercepts of antimony and validates the White Caps geological model developed from surface geological, geochemical and geophysical data sets. G50 conducted the first ever angled drilling at White Caps, where historical drilling by
Three of the four areas returned significant shallow gold mineralization. Intersections included high grade (1-12 g/t Au) and broad zones of low-grade (0.1-0.3 g/t Au). Silver was noted in most drill holes. Pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony were moderate to strongly anomalous and correlate well with gold and silver. Higher grade gold mineralization consistently occurred in silicified and decalcified limestone.

Wallace added that soil and rock chip sampling by G50 has uncovered a significant gold and antimony anomaly across the 2km strike of the company's exploration focus. "This exciting discovery has been further validated by our drilling efforts, which have intercepted substantial amounts of gold and antimony, reigniting our enthusiasm for this project," he said.
"This achievement highlights the incredible potential of applying modern technology and advanced processes to a historical mine," Wallace explained. The company's White Caps project covers approximately 2,501 acres across 28 patented and 74 unpatented claims. The project lies 15 km south of Kinross Gold's prolific Round Mountain Mine, offering the company access to a region with excellent infrastructure and world class geological endowment.
