GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) ("GoGold", "the
Company")
is pleased to release the assay results from three new diamond drill holes at the Los
Ricos Main area and 7 core holes drilled on the
Cerro Colorado
target located
1500m
to the
southeast of the Main area.
Drill hole LRGG-19-028 intersected the Los Ricos vein from
34.5m
to
62.0m
and averaged 2.99 g/t
gold equivalent made up of 1.21 g/t gold and 133.5 g/t silver over
27.5m
; including an
11.0m
interval
averaging 6.85g/t gold equivalent made up of 2.93 g/t gold and 293.9 g/t silver.
"Our drilling program continues to show wide intervals of gold-silver mineralization in the Los Ricos
vein near surface in the short holes. We are very encouraged that our first step out drilling 1.5km
along strike to the southeast has confirmed that the near surface mineralization at
Cerro Colorado
continues. We are also in the process of step out drilling to the northwest of the main zone
expanding on the potential of our 3.2km mineralized zone." stated
Brad Langille
, President and CEO.
The
Cerro Colorado
is located approximately
1500m
to the southeast along strike from the historical
underground mine at Los Ricos. The mineralization outcrops at surface (see Press Release dated
May 30, 2019
) and geological mapping shows the continuity of the Los Ricos vein system between
Cerro Colorado
and the historical mining area. To date, 7 holes totalling
477m
of HQ size drill core
were completed on 3 drill pads testing an initial
500m
strike length along the
Cerro Colorado
target.
Two holes, LRGC-19-001 and 004 were drilled on the first drill pad located approximately 1400
metres to the south of the Los Ricos mine. Hole LRGC-19-001 intersected from 23.3 to
27.2m
,
3.9m
averaging 3.95g/t gold equivalent made up of 1.59 g/t gold and 177.3 g/t silver. The hole
intersected a fault zone between
9.0m
and
23.3m
and then immediately entered the
Cerro Colorado
vein consisting of white-grey quartz carrying pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and black silver sulphides.
Hole LRGC-19-004 was collared up-dip and intersected from 6.5 to
18.0m
, 11.5m averaging
2.71g/t gold equivalent made up of 1.28 g/t gold and 107.2 g/t silver, including
3.7m
averaging 7.29
g/t gold equivalent made up of 3.36 g/t gold and 294.6 g/t silver.
Holes LRGC-19-002, 003 and 006 were drilled on drill pad 2 located approximately 300 metres
southeast of Fence 1 along the strike of the
Cerro Colorado
vein. Drill hole LRGC-19-002 cut
3.5m
averaging 4.47 g/t gold equivalent made up of 3.27 g/t gold and 90.4 g/t silver from 0.0 to
3.5m
.
Drill hole LRGC-19-003 intersected the
Cerro Colorado
vein from
2.0m
to
8.5m
averaging 1.90 g/t
gold equivalent made up of 1.38 g/t gold and 39.0 g/t silver over
6.5m
.
Holes LRGC-19-005 and 007 were collared on drill pad 3 located approximately
200m
to the
northwest of holes LRGC-19-001 and 004 and intersected broad zones of low grade gold and silver
mineralization.
"Our first exploration holes are showing the mineralization along the
Cerro Colorado
quartz vein
system has good grades over a strike length of at least
500m
. The next phase of our work will be
to continue testing the target to locate a high-grade ore shoot in the zone similar to the ones mined
at Los Ricos," stated
Brad Langille
, President and CEO.

GoGold commenced a
10,000 m
diamond drilling program of HQ size core in conjunction with a field
program of geological mapping, sampling and trenching on the property in
March 2019
. The core
drilling campaign is focused on defining the mineralized halo around the historical high grade ore
shoots as defined by the underground workings and the 65 historical RC drill holes on the property.
The program has now been expanded for additional testing along 3.2 km of the Los Ricos
mineralized zone.
The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling.
When the sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with
one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to
the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work.
The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ActLabs facility in
Zacatecas, Mexico
.
ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing
Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are assayed for gold using a 50 gram charge by fire assay
(Code 1A2-50) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed using a gravimetric
finish (Code 1A3-50). Silver and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code 1F2
Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver are re-assayed using a
gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV Ag).
Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification
Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the
samples and includes the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials
(certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of
the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data. All
results stated in this announcement have passed GoGold's QA/QC protocols.
