GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) ("GoGold", "the Company")
is
pleased to release the assay results from 6 new diamond drill holes including four from the
San Juan
zone, the
first step out hole testing the El Troce area, and one from the Main area. Holes LRGG-19-050, 051, 052 and
054 were completed on the
San Juan
ore shoot located 400 metres to the northwest of the Los Ricos Main
mine area. Hole LRGG-19-053 was the first step out hole drilled at the El Troce zone located 500 metres
northwest of the Los Ricos Main mine area.
San Juan
"We are encouraged with these new results in the
San Juan
ore shoot and we are quickly demonstrating the
potential for near surface mineralization and our drilling program will continue to focus on following the ore shoot
down dip and along strike," said
Brad Langille
, President and CEO. "Holes 50 and 51 have showed very wide
intercepts up to
45m
where it appears that the vein effectively doubled up in width due to faulting."
Hole LRGG-19-050 intersected
45.3m
of the Los Ricos vein from 15.0 to
60.3m
down the hole and averaged
1.41 g/t gold equivalent made up of 0.39 g/t gold and 76.3 g/t silver; including a
6.2m
interval averaging 4.23 g/t
gold equivalent made up of 1.01 g/t gold and 241.7 g/t silver. No historical underground workings were
encountered in the hole.
Hole LRGG-19-051 was also drilled to test the Los Ricos vein in the
San Juan
area. The hole collared on the
mineralization and intersected
24.0m
from 0.0 to
24.0m
down the hole and averaged 1.55 g/t gold equivalent
made up of 0.40 g/t gold and 86.4 g/t silver. The hole passed through the fault zone and intersected the Los
Ricos vein on the footwall side of the fault between 45.7 to
70.0m
down the hole. This section averaged 1.26
g/t gold equivalent made up of 0.58 g/t gold and 51.0 g/t silver; including a
6.2m
interval averaging 2.82 g/t gold
equivalent made up of 1.67 g/t gold and 86.2 g/t silver. No historical underground workings were encountered in
the hole.
Hole LRGG-19-052 was drilled to test the
San Juan
area. The hole intersected
24.5m
of the Los Ricos vein
from 83.5 to
108.0m
down the hole. However, the hole intersected a
2.0m
wide historical underground working
between 88.0 and
90.0m
that was full of backfill material. Excluding the backfilled stope, the remainder of the
Los Ricos vein averaged 1.18 g/t gold equivalent over a length of
22.5m
and was made up of 0.32 g/t gold and
64.4 g/t silver; including a
7.5m
interval averaging 3.70 g/t gold equivalent made up of 0.68 g/t gold and 226.6
g/t silver.
El Troce
"Our first hole at El Troce demonstrates the Los Ricos vein observed in the El Troce workings (previously
reported in Press Release dated
September 10, 2019
) is possibly the start of another high-grade ore shoot in
the Los Ricos vein," stated Langille. "This hole at El Troce has shown the Los Ricos vein is open for a kilometre
from the beginning of the Main area, through
San Juan
and now in to El Troce. From El Troce to
Cerro
Colorado
encompasses 3.2 km of structure being drilled and explored."
Hole LRGG-19-053 was drilled to test the northern extension of the Los Ricos vein in the area of the El Troce
underground workings. The hole intersected
10.1m
of the Los Ricos vein from 130.9 to
141.0m
and averaged
3.72 g/t gold equivalent made up of 1.53 g/t gold and 164.3 g/t silver; including
2.8m
averaging 11.75 g/t gold
equivalent made up of 5.22 g/t gold and 489.5 g/t silver. No historical underground workings were encountered
in the hole and this is the northernmost hole drilled on the Los Ricos structure.
Detailed intersections are listed in Table 1, and the hole locations are shown in Table 2. Figure 1 provides a 3D
view of Los Ricos.

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.
