P2 Gold Gabbs Update
March 29, 2023 News Release 23-07
P2 Gold Gabbs Update
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 29, 2023; P2 Gold Inc . (“P2” or the “Company”) (TSX -V:PGLD)
(OTCQB:PGLDF) provides an update on its wholly-owned gold-copper Gabbs Project located on the
Walker-Lane Trend in Nevada.
Preliminary Economic Assessment
The Company has restarted the preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) on the Gabbs Project,
which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year. The PEA was originally expected
to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022; however, the PEA was paused late in the third quarter
of 2022 waiting for the inflation rate to ameliorate.
Three-Dimensional Geophysics Interpretation
In late 2021 and early 2022, the Company completed a 48.3-line kilometer Natural Source Magneto
Telluric (“NSMT”) survey at Gabbs covering all four known zones of mineralization and the prospective
locations of the potential gold-copper porphyry source at depth.
This month, Computational Geosciences Inc. created 3 -D electrical conductivity inversion models of
the NSMT survey data. The inversion model gives a subsurface view of the conductivity/resistivity with
an estimated accuracy down to a depth of roughly sea level.
The initial interpretation by the Company of the three -dimensional NSMT inversion model has
identified a high priority area in the center of the property that host s a gold-copper porphyry
exploration target. Th is area is below the Gold Ledge Zone and confirms the two -dimensional
interpretation of the NSMT inversion model. The Company requires an additional permit in order to
drill the exploration target . A plan view and sections from the three dimensional NSMT inversion
model are available here.
