/CNW/ - Garibaldi Resources (TSXV: GGI) (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to report on developments including new
assay results from the "Casper" high-grade gold quartz vein discovery 13 km north of the Company's flagship E&L nickel-copper-cobalt massive sulphide project in
NW British Columbia
. In addition to E&L and Casper, Garibaldi owns a 100% interest in over 180 sq. kms of highly prospective mineral claims in the heart of the
historic Eskay camp, one of the richest mineral districts in the Province.
Garibaldi's Casper gold vein is a strategic low elevation target (420 meters) within a km of road access and hydroelectric power. It is located 15 km west from
Garibaldi's 1,500 hectare "Eskay North" gold prospect which borders the historic past producing
Eskay Creek
mine now being redeveloped.
Discovering a high-grade gold prospect proximal to the E&L project, is a tactical bonus allowing field crews to maintain productivity by accelerating surface
exploration at Casper during weather delays on top of Nickel Mountain.
For a summary of results from earlier backpack drilling, initial channel samples and grab samples, see Feb.28, 2020 news release announcing the discovery.
Exploration progress at the Casper gold quartz vein system in 2020 are as follows:
Highlights:
Field crews have collected 165 samples within 250 meters north of and 250 meters south of the NW-SE striking Casper vein with grades reaching as high as
249 g/t gold, 13 returned grades exceeding 10 g/t, and 23 samples with greater than 1 g/t gold (Table 1);
Mechanical trenching at the Casper gold quartz vein has further uncovered the high-grade vein over more than 120 meters, from the initial 43 meters of hand
trenching exposing the discovery;
The quartz vein remains open with mineralized rock samples extending along trend for 330 meters within a 500 meter gold-in-soil and MMI geochemical
anomaly;
Four new mineralized veins have been discovered this season most notably one 44 metres downslope from the main vein which like the Casper vein also
contains visible gold and returned 76.9 g/t Au;
The quartz vein sulphides include chalcopyrite, galena, pyrrhotite, pyrite and arsenopyrite with native gold. This discovery occurs along the robust and under-
explored McLymont Creek structural corridor;
Garibaldi has completed 86 unbiased channel samples spaced 1 meter apart throughout exposed sections of the Casper vein – assays pending. This latest
round of channel sampling will aid in drill hole planning and additional trenching to be completed this year.
Jeremy Hanson
, Garibaldi VP-Exploration, stated: "Even at this early stage, it's remarkable to see such consistent elevated gold grades in a quartz vein extending
more than 120 meters that remains open. The recent discovery of additional mineralized veins is extremely encouraging, especially with visible gold. Casper is
certainly living up to the enthusiasm generated by its initial discovery"
The discovery of the high-grade Casper gold quartz vein close to our nearby base camp is already proving to be an advantage in deploying our field crews in the
Eskay camp. Along with very promising results, this has contributed to accelerating the advancement of the Casper prospect to a planned drill stage sooner than
expected.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
All field sample batches included 5% QA/QC samples consisting of certified blanks, standards and field duplicates. Multiple certified ore assay laboratory
standards and one blank standard were used in the process. Samples for Casper were submitted to SGS Canada Inc. In
Burnaby, British Columbia
, an ISO
9001: 2008 certified lab, for base metal, sulphur and precious metal analysis using Inductivity Coupled Plasma (ICP), and Fire Assay (FA) methods.
Samples were prepared by crushing the entire sample to 75% passing 2mm, riffle splitting 250g and pulverizing the split to better than 85% passing 105 microns.
Gold was analyzed using a 50-gram fire assay and ICP-AES, or metallic screen for coarse gold. Samples with coarse visible gold are subject to the nugget
effect, may be difficult to reproduce or duplicate and may not be indicative of the overall mineralization of the vein. Samples with visible gold were analyzed using
the Metallic Screen method where a minimum 500 gram sample is crushed and separated into two batches. A Minus batch with particles less than 106 microns,
and a Plus batch with particles greater than 106 microns. Both batches of the sample are analyzed with a fire assay and finished with AAS, ICP-OES or
gravimetric depending on grade. A final weighted average is calculated from the two portions.
The performance on the blind standards, blanks and duplicates achieved high levels of accuracy and reproducibility and has been verified by
