/CNW/ -
P2 Gold Inc.
("P2" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGLD)
(OTCQB: PGLDF) provides an update on its wholly-owned gold-copper Gabbs Project located on
the Walker-Lane Trend in
Nevada
and confirms the terms of the finder's fee for its convertible
debenture unit offering
Gabbs Project Preliminary Economic Assessment
The Company is re-evaluating the preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") on the Gabbs Project,
with a new PEA expected to be completed in the second quarter of this year. In re-evaluating the
PEA, the Company is assessing the benefits of incorporating the lower grade mineralized material
above the cutoff grade for heap leach and mill mineralized material that was not included in the
September 2023
PEA. The 2024 PEA is expected to comprise a heap leach operation and a mill
operation starting up after the initial heap leach capital is repaid, with the heap leach and mill
operating in tandem for the remainder of the mine life.
"Now that the outstanding project debt has been settled, we can focus on unlocking
Gabbs'
potential
by continuing to advance the project through feasibility," commented
Joe Ovsenek
, President and
CEO of P2. "Existing infrastructure at
Gabbs
includes paved access, power on the property and
historically permitted water wells. The known zones of gold-copper mineralization at
Gabbs
outcrop
at surface and remain open in multiple directions, and the property remains highly prospective for the
discovery of new zones of mineralization. We look forward to announcing the results of the 2024
PEA."
