Canadian Gold Corp (STRRF) reported impressive drill results from its Phase 4 program at the Tartan Mine in Manitoba. The company successfully expanded the South Zone by 140 meters vertically, reaching 310 meters (120%) below the 2017 resource estimate. Key highlights include an intersection of 9.4 gpt gold over 3.3 meters in the latest deep test. This follows a previous intersection of 6.1 gpt gold over 6 meters announced in March 2025. The Main Zone has already been extended from 575 meters to 1,030 meters below surface, representing a 79% increase. Additional drilling above the initial deeper hole returned 7.6 gpt gold over 4.0 meters, while testing to the east and below yielded 3.3 gpt gold over 3.0 meters. These results suggest the South Zone could have similar depth potential to the Main Zone, potentially improving the mine's restart economics.

L'azienda ha ampliato con successo la Zona Sud di 140 metri in verticale, raggiungendo 310 metri (120%) sotto la stima delle risorse del 2017. Tra i punti salienti, un'intersezione di 9,4 gpt di oro su 3,3 metri nel più recente test profondo. Questo segue una precedente intersezione di 6,1 gpt di oro su 6 metri annunciata a marzo 2025. La Zona Principale è stata già estesa da 575 metri a 1.030 metri sotto la superficie, con un incremento del 79%. Ulteriori perforazioni sopra il foro più profondo iniziale hanno restituito 7,6 gpt di oro su 4,0 metri, mentre i test verso est e in profondità hanno prodotto 3,3 gpt di oro su 3,0 metri. Questi risultati suggeriscono che la Zona Sud potrebbe avere un potenziale di profondità simile a quello della Zona Principale, migliorando potenzialmente l'economia del riavvio della miniera.

La Zona Principal ya se ha extendido de 575 metros a 1.030 metros bajo la superficie, representando un aumento del 79%. Perforaciones adicionales por encima del agujero profundo inicial arrojaron 7,6 gpt de oro sobre 4,0 metros, mientras que las pruebas hacia el este y por debajo arrojaron 3,3 gpt de oro sobre 3,0 metros. Estos resultados sugieren que la Zona Sur podría tener un potencial de profundidad similar al de la Zona Principal, mejorando potencialmente la economía para reiniciar la mina.
Canadian Gold Corp (STRRF)는 매니토바의 타탄 광산에서 진행 중인 4단계 시추 프로그램에서 인상적인 결과를 보고했습니다. 회사는 남부 구역을 수직으로 140미터 확장하여 2017년 자원 추정치보다 310미터(120%) 더 깊은 곳에 도달했습니다. 주요 하이라이트로는 최신 심층 시험에서 3.3미터 구간에서 금 9.4gpt가 포함됩니다. 이는 2025년 3월 발표된 6미터 구간에서 금 6.1gpt의 이전 교차 결과에 이은 것입니다. 메인 존은 이미 지표면 아래 575미터에서 1,030미터로 연장되어 79% 증가를 기록했습니다. 초기 심층 구멍 위쪽에서 추가 시추는 4.0미터 구간에서 금 7.6gpt를, 동쪽 및 아래쪽 테스트에서는 3.0미터 구간에서 금 3.3gpt를 산출했습니다. 이 결과들은 남부 구역이 메인 존과 유사한 깊이 잠재력을 가질 수 있음을 시사하며, 광산 재가동 경제성 개선에 기여할 수 있습니다.

La société a réussi à étendre la Zone Sud de 140 mètres en vertical, atteignant 310 mètres (120%) en dessous de l'estimation des ressources de 2017. Parmi les points clés, on note une intersection de 9,4 g/t d'or sur 3,3 mètres lors du dernier test en profondeur. Cela fait suite à une intersection précédente de 6,1 g/t d'or sur 6 mètres annoncée en mars 2025. La Zone Principale a déjà été étendue de 575 mètres à 1 030 mètres sous la surface, soit une augmentation de 79 %. Des forages supplémentaires au-dessus du trou profond initial ont donné 7,6 g/t d'or sur 4,0 mètres, tandis que les tests vers l'est et en dessous ont produit 3,3 g/t d'or sur 3,0 mètres. Ces résultats suggèrent que la Zone Sud pourrait avoir un potentiel de profondeur similaire à celui de la Zone Principale, améliorant potentiellement la rentabilité de la reprise de la mine.
Canadian Gold Corp (STRRF) meldete beeindruckende Bohrergebnisse aus seinem Phase-4-Programm in der Tartan-Mine in Manitoba. Das Unternehmen erweiterte erfolgreich die Südzone um 140 Meter vertikal und erreichte 310 Meter (120%) unterhalb der Ressourcenschätzung von 2017. Zu den wichtigsten Highlights gehört ein Schnitt mit 9,4 g/t Gold über 3,3 Meter im neuesten Tiefbohrtest. Dies folgt auf einen früheren Schnitt von 6,1 g/t Gold über 6 Meter, der im März 2025 bekannt gegeben wurde. Die Hauptzone wurde bereits von 575 Metern auf 1.030 Meter unter der Oberfläche ausgeweitet, was einer Steigerung von 79 % entspricht. Zusätzliche Bohrungen oberhalb des ursprünglichen Tiefenlochs ergaben 7,6 g/t Gold über 4,0 Meter, während Tests nach Osten und darunter 3,3 g/t Gold über 3,0 Meter lieferten. Diese Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Südzone ein ähnliches Tiefenpotenzial wie die Hauptzone haben könnte, was die Wirtschaftlichkeit eines Minen-Neustarts verbessern könnte.

South Zone Now 310m (120%) Below 2017 Resource

Flin Flon, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2025) - Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce ongoing drill results from its Phase 4 drill program at the 100%-owned Tartan Mine, near Flin Flon, Manitoba. Drilling has successfully expanded the South Zone by an additional 140 metres vertically in depth, for a total of 310 metres or 120% below the 2017 resource estimate since drilling began in March of this year (Fig. 1 & 2). The South Zone is a parallel complex of mineralization to the Main Zone that is believed to host the majority of the mine's resources.

On March 3, 2025, the Company released its first deep test of the South Zone, which successfully intersected 6.1 gpt gold over 6 metres, 170 metres below the 2017 resource estimate. The subsequent hole released today returned 9.4 gpt gold over 3.3 metres and was located a further 140 metres below the initial test (Fig. 1 & 2). This result significantly expands the South Zone mineralization at depth and has important implications, as it appears the South Zone could have similar depth potential to the Main Zone, which the Company has extended below the 2017 resource limit of 575 metres to 1,030 metres below surface-a 79% increase-and which remains open for expansion.

"We are very excited that the Phase 4 drill program continues to deliver strong results and validates our thesis that the South Zone could represent a heretofore underexplored source of significant mineralization. This significant expansion of the South Zone will have important implications for potential restart of the Tartan Mine, as it would increase the number of gold ounces per vertical metre, lowering the development costs on a per-ounce basis and allowing for higher production." - Michael Swistun, CFA, President & CEO

Additional drilling in this release focused on expanding the mineralization above the initial deeper hole TLSZ25-32 by wedging above 16 metres, and to the east and below by 18 metres (Fig. 1). The hole drilled above the initial result returned 7.6 gpt gold over 4.0 metres. The first test to the east and below also successfully intersected the zone, but at a lower grade of 3.3 gpt gold over 3.0 metres.
