Gaia Metals Corp. Expands Land Package Following Phase I Surface
Exploration at the Freeman Creek Property, Idaho, USA
Vancouver, September 2 nd , 20 20 – Gaia Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V:
GMC) (OTCQB: RGDCF) (FSE: R9G) is pleased to announce that it has expanded the
Freeman Creek Property (the “Property”) claim position by more than 40% though the
staking of an additional 30 claims totalling 263 ha (~650 acres). The Property, located
near Salmon, ID, USA, now comprises 106 claims totalling approximately 862 ha (~2,131
acres) and is accessible via paved highway and a network of gravel roads and trails (See
Figure below).
The expansion of the Property was initiated part way through the Company’s recently
completed Phase I surface exploration program (see news release dated August 31 st,
2020). The surface program identified potentially mineralized extensions to the Carmen
Creek Prospect in the northeast area of the Property , as well as a promising field
assessment immediately adjacent to the original claim border at the Gold Dyke Prospect
in the southwestern area of the Property.
In the Carmen Creek area, the Phase I program located the site of an historical mill from
the early 1900s as well as numerous adits and blast pits. Limited documentation exists
regarding the Carmen Creek mining operation from this period ; however, the Phase I
exploration of the area has identified historical adit and blast activity extend ing for at
least 1 km in strike length and prompted the acquisition of the additional ground. There
are no records of the Carmen Creek Prospect having been drill tested.
The Company is currently awaiting sample assays for its Phase I surface exploration
program over the Property with planning underway for a Phase II drill program.
