Canagold Initiates Resource Expansion Drilling at New Polaris Project
Canagold Initiates Resource Expansion Drilling at New Polaris Project
Vancouver, Canada –June 5, 2024 - Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX: CCM, OTC-QB: CRCUF, Frankfurt:
CANA) (the “Company” or “Canagold”), is pleased to announce that, in line with its commitment to
accelerating the advancement of the New Polaris Gold project towards production, drill crews have
been mobilized to the site in northern British Columbia to restart drilling operations.
The 2024 drilling program includes 12,000 meters of drilling, primarily targeting high-grade
mineralization adjacent to historic workings in the upper part of the deposit. Recent modeling of historic
drill data, comprising a total of 36 drill holes, has revealed an area of significant mineralization with
numerous high-grade intercepts, indicating potential for expansion to the north. This mineralization is
not yet well enough defined to be included in the Company’s existing resource and mining plans.
This target presents an opportunity to expand known mineralization and define high-grade resources at
a shallow depth, which could be accessed early in the mine life, thereby potentially reducing the initial
capital required to bring the property into production.
Historical intercepts* from previous drilling have yielded very attractive high-grade mineralization,
reinforcing the potential for significant resource growth.
26.2 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold (“Au”) over 4.3 m in drill hole 475 (late 1940s)
16.7 gpt Au over 1.6 m in drill hole PT9706 (1997)
11.9 gpt Au over 3.0 m in drill hole PT9618 (1996)
*True widths have not been determined. Further drilling is required to determine the mineralized body
orientation and true widths.
The 2024 drilling program is designed to add to the Indicated Resource category for possible inclusion in
the ongoing feasibility study.
"Through our thorough review and modeling of historic drill data, we are pleased to announce the
discovery of this mineralized area, presenting an opportunity to add significant high-grade, near-surface
resources," said Canagold CEO, Catalin Kilofliski. "Our current drilling program builds upon the
Company’s highly successful 2021 and 2022 campaigns. By applying the same effective geological
rationale to other parts of the deposit, we aim to confirm and expand our gold resources."
