KAPA GOLD SUBMITS EXPLORATION PERMIT FOR BLACKHAWK PROJECT
Zero New Disturbance Program Reflects Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
VANCOUVER, BC – November 12, 2024 – KAPA GOLD INC. (TSXV:KAPA) (“Kapa” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce its Notice of Intent submission for mineral exploration activities utilizing a Zero
New Disturbance Program (the “ Program”) at its flagship Blackhawk Gold Project in San Bernardino
County, California. This marks a significant step in advancing exploration while upholding stringent
environmental safeguards.
"Our Zero New Disturbance Exploration Program reflects Kapa Gold's unwavering commitment to
sustainable exploration practices," stated David K. Paxton, CEO of Kapa Gold. "By leveraging existing
roadways and impacted areas, we ensure progress in a way that respects and preserves the
environment."
Program Highlights
▪ Zero New Disturbance: Operations are confined to existing roads and previously impacted
areas, ensuring no new surface disturbance.
▪ Environmental Monitoring: Biological oversight will be conducted to safeguard local wildlife
and vegetation.
▪ Innovative Drilling: Low-impact, track-mounted sonic drilling technology will be employed to
minimize water use and dust generation.
▪ Regulatory Compliance: The program aligns with General Mining Laws, 36 CFR Part 228, and
all applicable federal and local regulations.
The Program, consisting of approximately 2,000 meters , is expected to include 30 drill holes at an
average depth of approximately 65 meters. Drilling will be undertaken using a low ground pressure
tracked sonic drill rig and limited to existing disturbed areas using the existing road network. All
exploration will be undertaken outside of any environmentally sensitive areas. Following Kapa’s
commitment of zero new disturbance, Kapa will employ a biological monitor to survey the roads and
the area surrounding proposed drill site locations to ensure no critical species are located in the area
of the exploration activities.
Following our historic data integration and 3D modelling program, previously identified areas of
mineable grade mineralization were uncovered. This program is undertaken to both confirm historic
conclusions and to further investigate high-grade surface mineralization as identified by surface rock
sampling as previously reported in the Company’s August 14, 2023 press release.
This program is designed not only to test and potentially expand known mineralized areas but also to
collect environmental baseline data to facilitate future permitting of the project. The mapping,
sampling, and drilling included in the program will be used to characterize the behavior of geologic
materials as well as understand the hydrogeologic conditions on the project. Biological surveys will
serve to both avoid sensitive species and quantify the species present and their distribution relative
to the site conditions.
Subject to approval from the relative authorities, drilling will commence early in 2025. The Program
will be undertaken and managed by MFD Investment Holdings as part of their strategic partnership.
A Heritage of Responsible Exploration
Situated in the historic Blackhawk Mining District, the Blackhawk Project has a legacy of gold
