iMetal Resources Announces Restart of Drilling at
Gowganda West
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2023 / iMetal Resources, Inc. (TSX.V: IMR)
(OTCQB:IMRFF) (FRANKFURT: A7V) ("iMetal" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce the restart of drilling after spring break-up at the Company's Gowganda West project,
which lies within the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt. Drilling was paused in April after
five (5) holes and 1914m were completed to accommodate the spring melt. This round of drilling
is focused on further delineating gold mineralization in the area of iMetal's ground proximal to
Aris Mining's Juby deposit.
Saf Dhillon, President & CEO, stated: "Drilling at our flagship Gowganda West project
continues and we are excited to see the pending assay results. The gold trends proximal to the
Juby deposit are of great interest to the Company and we are eager to advance the project further
throughout this year."
The Company engaged Laframboise Drilling Inc. of Earlton, Ontario for this phase of drilling at
Gowganda West. Samples are being submitted to ALS Geochemistry in Sudbury for assaying.
Completed holes have focused mainly on further delineating trends near the border with Aris
Mining, while the remaining holes will also test VTEM targets from the 2019 airborne program.
Gowganda West is an exploration-stage gold project about 100 km south-southeast of Timmins,
Ontario, contiguous to Aris Mining's Juby Project in the Shining Tree Camp of the southern part
of the Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt; contiguous also with the Knight project that is part of the
Strategic Partnership between Orefinders Resources Inc. and Agnico Eagle. iMetal completed a
2611 m drilling program in the fall of 2022 which intersected a new gold trend. The Property
also has multiple-ounce grab samples from trends that have yet to be drill tested.
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and
approved by Scott Zelligan, P. Geo (Ontario), VP Exploration of iMetal and a qualified person as
defined in National Instrument 43-101.
