Greenheart GOLD Provides an Update ON Its Exploration Activities IN Suriname
GREENHEART GOLD PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON ITS EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES IN SURINAME
• Positive results from channel sampling at the Igab Project, including 31.0 m grading 1.36 g/t Au
• Extension of two significant gold soil geochemical anomalies at the Majorodam Project
Longueuil, Québec, February 10, 2025 – Greenheart Gold Inc. (TSXV: GHRT) (the “Company” or
“Greenheart Gold”) is pleased to provide an update on results from its early-stage exploration
programs at the Igab and Majorodam projects in Suriname.
Igab Project, Suriname
Greenheart Gold has received positive results from channel sampling of an exposed outcrop at the
Lemon Tree prospect within the Igab P roject in Suriname (see Figure 1), which is located
approximately 30 km south of Newmont’s operating Me rian gold mine . These channel sample s,
including IGBT25-003 which intersected 31.0 meters (m) grading 1.36 grams per ton of gold (g/t Au),
were produced from a strongly altered deformation zone within a granitic outcrop that the Company
exposed close to an area recently mined by the titleholder. This channel sample follow s up on an
initial 3 m channel sample IGBT24 -002, which intersected 3.0 m grading 1.27 g/t Au when initially
only 3 m of the outcrop was exposed. Other channels on the same outcrop shown in Figure 1, include
IGBT24-005 intersecting 6 m grading 1.08 g/t Au and IGBT24-004 intersecting 12.0 m grading 0.99 g/t
Au. Work is ongoing to expand the outcrop extents, and to carry out further channel and/or trench
sampling in the immediate area.
In addition to the outcrop channel sample results at Igab, the Company also received encouraging
results from its property-wide stream sediment sampling program. These results, which are shown
in Figure 2, indicate two significant areas of anomalous gold stream sediments samples . The se
anomalous samples are in drainage basins lying both to the north and south, as well as downstream
of an elevated plateau in the central portion of the project area that is represented by the 500 m
contour line shown in brown in Figure 2. The areas of anomalous stream sediment s are shown
shaded as a background highlight (faded yellow) in Figure 2, with the significant assay results being
indicated by color coded call outs. This area of interest, which appears to be underlain by volcanic
and sedimentary rock units, represents a target area of approximately 2,500 m by 1,000 m and is
being referred to as the Mokro prospect. Mokro is located approximately 5 km north of and appears
to be on strike with the mineralized deformation corridor associated with the Lemon Tree prospect.
Follow-up exploration programs at Igab are currently underway and include a ridge and spur soil
geochemical survey over the areas that lie proximal to and upstream of anomalous stream sediment
samples. In addition, the Company will continue with its efforts to further uncover and sample the
altered deformation corridor associated with the Lemon Tree target. Detailed soil geochemical grid
sampling will be carried out next, prioritizing anomalous results from the ridge and spur sampling
program and this will be followed up by trenching where possible. A LiDAR survey was recently flown
and is anticipated to help with geological mapping and program planning, with a geophysical survey
also expected to be completed in the coming months . The Company expects to be in a position to
mobilize a drill rig to the Igab Project later in the year.
As announced on September 25, 2024, the Company has entered into a binding Heads of Agreement
(“HoA”) with an arm’s length private Surinamese company to acquire a 100% interest in the I gab
Project. The HoA was amended to extend the exclusive right to carry out technical and legal due
diligence for a period of up to six additional months . Based on the work completed so far, the
Company expects to enter into a definitive option agreement in the next few weeks.
Majorodam Project, Suriname
At the Majorodam Project, which lies approximately 12 km south of Zijin’s operating Saramacca mine,
Greenheart Gold has completed infill soil geochemical sampling over the Heuvel and Helling targets,
which were originally outlined in the initial project wide soil sampling survey. Results from this infill
program continue to be very encouraging, further expanding and adding definition to the Heuvel and
Helling targets as shown in Figure 3. Heuvel is in the northwestern portion of the project area and is
interpreted to be underlain by the same mafic volcanic rock package that hosts the Saramacca mine.
The anomaly is oriented in a north-south direction, which is interpreted as being parallel to the axial
plane of a second phase of folding in the area. Heuvel is approximately 3-4 km long by up to 800 m
wide and appears to be closely associated with a second significant parallel soil anomaly of similar
magnitude located approximately 500 m to the east. This second anomaly extends approximately 1
km in length (north-south) by up to 800 m wide. The Helling target at Majorodam lies approximately
2.6 km to the southeast of Heuvel and appears to be closely associated with the interpreted folded
contact between volcanic and granitic rock units , which are oriented in a north- east, south-west
direction. The gold anomalies at the Helling target appear to be underlain by volcanic units and
covers an area of approximately 4-5 km long by 1-2 km wide.
At Majorodam, trenching and road cut sampling programs are currently underway to help further
define the Heuvel and Helling targets prior to drill testing. The Company plans to mobilize an RC drill
rig to Majorodam before the end of February to drill test both of these promising targets with an initial
drill program of 100 m deep holes, totalling approximately 1,500 m.
Other Activities
In addition to the exploration programs underway in Suriname, Greenheart Gold continues to move
its exploration programs in Guyana forward as well. At the Abuya P roject, which lies approximately
20 km west of Zijin’s Aurora mine, the Company has commenced a second phase of soil geochemical
sampling to infill the initial 1,000 m by 100 m spaced grid to 500 m by 50 m.
Consistent with its stated corporate strategy, the Company also continues to be actively engaged in
investigating and negotiating the acquisition of additional project s as it moves towards its goal of
having 5 to 6 active projects in its pipeline. Updates on these activities will be released in due course.
Sample Preparation and Analysis
Soil samples of approximately 1 kg are collected immediately below the surface lag and leaf litter ,
usually at a depth of 5 cm to 3 0 cm depth below surface. Samples are dispatched to Actlabs in
Suriname, including regular ly inserted certified reference materials , for preparation that includes
drying at 60 ºC and sieving to minus 177 microns. The minus fraction is then homogenized and
pulverized to minus 105 microns . Samples are then transferred internally by Actlabs to their
analytical laboratory in Guyana, where they are analysed by 50 g fire assay using method 1A2-50.
Samples greater than 5 ppm Au are analysed using a 50 g gravimetric assay.
Stream sediment s amples are collected from active or high energy portions of streams and are
collected from catchment basins of 1 to 2 km² in area . Sufficient material is sieved to obtain
approximately 5 kg of material at < 2 mm grain size using stainless steel sieves and ensuring
collection of all fines. Samples are transported to Actlabs in Suriname, where they are dried and
sieved to minus 450 microns before a 1 kg split is taken for BLEG (code 1A6) analysis with t he
remainder of the sample being sieved to minus 75 microns after which a 50 g Fire Assay (code 1A2-
50) split and a 0.5 g Aqua Regia ICP -MS (UT1) split are collected. The 1 kg BLEG and 50 g Fire assay
are sent to Actlabs facilities in Guyana for analysis while the 0.5 g UT1 is shipped to Actlabs facilities
in Canada for analysis.
About Greenheart Gold Inc.
Greenheart Gold is an exploration company that builds on a proven legacy of discoveries within the
Guiana Shield, a highly prospective geological terrain that hosts numerous gold deposits yet remains
relatively under-explored. The Company is led by former executives and members of the exploration
group of Reunion Gold, a team that was most recently noted for the discovery and delineation of the
multi million-ounce Oko West deposit in Guyana. Greenheart Gold intends to build on its technical
knowledge, strong contact base and previous success from exploring in the Guiana S hield to
assemble, m aintain and explore a portfolio of early -stage exploration projects in Guyana and
Suriname that are prospective for orogenic gold deposits.
