Getchell Gold Corp. Continuing to Advance Gold Assets in Nevada
Toronto, Ontario – March 30, 2020 – Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH , OTCQB: GGLDF)
("Getchell" or the "Company") a leading Nevada focused Gold and Copper exploration
company, today announced that its near term strategy to advance its assets is not impacted by
the COVID-19 Corona virus. The Company continues to monitor the situation and is in compliance
with all government guidelines.
To that end, Getchell has taken possession of all of the physical data, digital data, core, cuttings,
storage and logging facilities associated with the r ecently optioned Fondaway Canyon
(“Fondaway”) and Dixie Comstock projects. (refer to Company news release dated January 7,
2020 for further details).
The Company is currently completing a new Fondaway technical report as a basis for an open -
pit mining scenario and mineral resource estimate. The 2017 technical report (see details below)
envisioned an underground operation and set the model parameters accordingly . The new
Fondaway technical report will involve a comprehensive synthesis and geological reinterpretation
of the substantial volume of data received. The data set was amassed over decades of work
across multiple exploration and small -scale mining campaigns. The objective of this internal
assessment of the data is to integrate the geology, structure, alteration and mineralization into a
revised 3D model that will provide the basis for:
1) A comparison of the revised 3D model with the geologic model used for the 2017 historic
resource estimate;
2) Assessing the impact of including the 2017 drill program results (7 holes totaling 2,534
metres) that were not used for the 2017 historic resource estimate;
3) A new, third party, NI43-101 Mineral Resources Estimate and Technical Report; and
4) Guidance on the next phase of exploration in support of a Preliminary Economic
Assessment.
“This is a low -cost strategy which could yield significant results for shareholders and we look
forward to updating the market as the results of our efforts materialize” said CEO Bill Wagener.
2017 Fondaway Technical Report
The 2017 Technical Report on the Fondaway Canyon Project was commissioned by Canarc
Resources Corp. and was authored by Techbase International Ltd. The project has a historical
estimate of Indicated resources of 409,000 oz. Au contained in 2,050,000 tonnes grading 6.18 g/t
and Inferred resources of 660,000 oz. Au contained in 3,200,000 tonnes grading 6.4 g/t, using a
1.8 m width cut-off and a cut-off grade of 3.43 g/t Au.
This historic resource estimate was completed by Techbase International Ltd of Reno, Nevada, and it
is contained within a NI 43-101 report dated April 3, 2017 that was commissioned by Canarc Resource
Corp of Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The resource estimate was compiled only from drill holes that could
be validated (591 holes @ 49,086 m), a sufficient amount to deem the historic resource as reliable.
Using Techbase software, a method of polygons was used along each vein. With a minimum 0.10 opt
Au and 1.8 m horizontal vein width used as cut-off parameters, twelve veins had sufficient composited
intercepts within the sulfide mineralization for the esti mate. No capping or cutting of grades was
applied. The historical resource estimate used classifications in accordance with NI 43-101 standards,
namely, “indicated” and “inferred”. A review and/or re- calculation of the historic resource is required
by an independent Qualified Person to confirm these as current resources as defined by NI 43-101. A
qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral
resources; and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
Scott Frostad , P. Geo., is the Qualified Person (as defined in NI 43 -101) who reviewed and
approved the contents of this news release.
