iMetal Resources Completes Drilling at Gowganda West For Fall
2022 Drill Program
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2022 / iMetal Resources, Inc.
(TSXV:IMR)(OTC PINK:ADTFF)(FRANKFURT:A7V) ("iMetal" or the " Company") is
pleased to announce the completion of the fall 2022 drill campaign at Gowganda West ("GW").
GW is an exploration -stage gold project about 100 km south -southeast of Timmins, Ontario,
contiguous to Aris Gold Corp.'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 Mines Inc.
A total of seven drill holes were completed for a total meterage of 2611m. The objective of the
2022 program was to follow-up on the long gold intervals encountered in the lower sections of the
westernmost drill holes from the 2019 maiden drill program: 0.37 g/t gold over 29.4 metres, 0.32
g/t gold over 30.25 metres, and 0.41 g/t gold over 19.5 metres. Identified gold targets along strike
(northwest-southeast), along potential parallel trends (as seen at the adjacent Juby Project), and
potential new trends were also tested as part of this drilling program. Core logging and sampling
continues, and initial samples have begun to be shipped to ALS Geochemistry in Rouyn-Noranda
for assaying. The first batches of assay results are expected before year end.
Saf Dhillon, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are extremely pleased with the smooth execution
of our Fall Drilling Program at Gowganda West. DIAFOR Inc. did an extremely professional and
efficient job and that allowed us to complete more drilling meters than originally anticipated. We
are excited to share the assay results as soon as possible. Gowganda West is an exceptional
opportunity to drill near -surface, gold-bearing rocks in the Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt, near a
multi-million-ounce gold deposit, and we look forward to analyzing these results and then
commencing drilling again in the near future."
QA/QC Protocols
iMetal adheres to a strict QA/QC program for core handling, sampling, sample transportation and
analyses. Drill core will be securely transported to the rented core facility in Larder Lake which
has gate only access. Samples will be sawn in half, labelled, placed in sealed, securitized bags and
shipped directly to ALS Laboratories in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec for analysis. ALS Geochemistry
Rouyn-Noranda is a Standards Council of Canada (SCC) accredited facility that conforms with
both CAN-P-1579 and CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025.
QA/QC control procedures include the systematic insertion of duplicate, blank and certified
reference materials (CRM) at regular intervals into the sampling stream. Geochemistry analyses
will consist of gold by fire assay and atomic absorption spectrome try (Au-AA26) with overlimit
values subsequently analyzed using the gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22) technique. Where elected
select samples may be analyzed for multi -element using a four acid/inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry (ME-MS61) analysis.
