Triumph Gold Announces Completion of the 2020 Field Campaign at Freegold

PR20-07) and has now completed the short but successful field-based portion of the program. The 2020 program was designed to test near-surface gold targets in both the Nucleus-Revenue and Mount Freegold areas. Field exploration proceeded as planned, although access to the Irene-Goldstar Corridor and Melissa Zone was limited due to unusually high rainfall throughout the season. This year’s exploration program produced nine diamond drill holes totaling 2068.52 metres, plus minor trenching and reconnaissance sampling. ” data-reactid=”13″Triumph Gold commenced their fully-funded exploration program at the Freegold Mountain Project on August 1st of this year (PR20-07) and has now completed the short but successful field-based portion of the program.

“The Triumph Gold exploration team conducted a productive and successful field program in 2020 despite the unprecedented challenges faced,” commented John Anderson, CEO and Chairman. “The program focused on greenfield, near-surface gold targets which coupled with a strong gold market should unlock additional value for our shareholders.” 

Jesse Halle, VP Exploration added, “The Freegold Mountain Project continues to show its exploration up-side with every drill hole and new surface exposure, even in the greenfield locations, displaying eye-opening alteration and mineralization. I’m looking forward to the assay results and to an expanded exploration program in 2021.”  

• Trench sampling of new bedrock exposed by ongoing placer gold mining at Happy Creek, revealing pyritic plutonic rock containing chalcopyrite (assays pending);
   
• Drill testing a fence of holes within the Irene-Goldstar Epithermal Corridor (PR20-03), revealing multiple broadly-mineralized zones containing arsenopyrite and local trace chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena in schists and gneiss (assays pending);
   
• Intersection of the high-grade epithermal Goldstar Vein approximately 50 vertical metres below the previously tested extent of the vein, implying continuity of the Goldstar Vein to at least 100 metres down dip (assays pending); and
   
• Reconnaissance sampling of fresh subcrop along a new access road to the Melissa Zone, exposing a massive  stibnite vein (assays pending) amongst numerous quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes in locally hornfelsed and pyritic schist and gneiss containing thick, cross-cutting quartz veins.
