Precipitate Commences Drilling at Motherlode Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada
Precipitate Commences Drilling at Motherlode
Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2022) -
Precipitate Gold Corp.
(
TSXV:
PRG) (OTCQB: PREIF
) (the "
Company
" or "
Precipitate
") is pleased to announce the commencement
of a diamond drilling program at the Company's
Motherlode Gold Project
("Motherlode" or the
"Project") within the Burin Peninsula of southern Newfoundland, Canada.
The drill campaign calls for a minimum of 2,000 metres of diamond drilling from up to 22 permitted drill
platforms within the Project's prospective Motherlode Zone. Multiple holes can be drilled from each
platform, allowing for a significant number of possible holes and flexibility to adjust drill targeting as the
program progresses. The program is designed to test multiple induced polarization ("IP") geophysical
chargeability high anomalies located within the Motherlode Structural Corridor, with planned hole depths
ranging from 70 to 300 metres. See the accompanying geophysical IP
chargeability plan map
and
3D
Chargeability map
for additional information.
Jeffrey Wilson, Precipitate's President and CEO stated, "We are excited to announce the
commencement of this first phase of drilling at our Motherlode Zone in southern Newfoundland. Our
groundwork to date has successfully delineated favourable geological shear structures and coincident IP
geophysical anomalies which are potential hosts for gold mineralization. Drilling by prior operators
reported gold mineralization within the Motherlode Zone but failed to intersect any of the newly identified
chargeability anomalies identified in our recent IP survey. The potential to drill test those anomalies now
offers Precipitate an exciting opportunity at discovery."

The primary focus of the drilling program will be testing the recently delineated IP geophysical
chargeability high anomalies located within the 'Motherlode Structural Corridor'; where elevated
chargeability readings reflect elevated sulphide concentration related to probable gold mineralization.
The estimated three kilometre long northeast trending Motherlode Structure Corridor hosts structurally
related orogenic gold style mineralization, where gold enriched quartz veins-stockworks are associated
with an anastomosing series of quartz-sericite shears and faults with sub-vertical to steep northwest
dips, containing low pyrite and arsenopyrite sulphide concentrations. The Motherlode Zone hosts the
Project's most notable gold mineralization and related surface colour gossan identified to date, with rock
grab sample values up to
25.0 g/t gold
* and historical drill results including
3.5m at 1.4 g/t gold
.

project data.
