Sky Gold’S Geochemical Sampling Yields Significant Particulate GOLD Grains ON Its Consolidated Shebandowan Property, Northwestern Ontario
SKY GOLD’S GEOCHEMICAL SAMPLING YIELDS SIGNIFICANT
PARTICULATE GOLD GRAINS ON ITS CONSOLIDATED
SHEBANDOWAN PROPERTY, NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO
April 24, 2025, Vancouver, BC, Canada – SKY GOLD CORP. (“Sky” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: SKYG) (US:
SRKZF) is pleased to announce that its basal-till geochemical sampling program involving mineral
concentration work, has yielded significant particulate gold grains on its Consolidated Shebandowan base
& precious-metals project (the “Property”).
The Property, comprising 10,487 hectares, is situated 70 km west of the City of Thunder Bay and 6 km
southwest of the past -producing Shebandowan Ni-Cu-Co-Cr-PGE mine, operated by Inco Ltd during the
period of 1970 to 1989. The Shebandowan mine yielded historical production of 8.6 million tonnes at a
grade of 2.00% nickel, 1.00% copper, 2.68 g/t platinum-group-elements.
GOLD CONCENTRATION GEOCHEMICAL RESULTS:
Fifty-two (52) 10-kilogram samples of basal till were collected from the southwestern portion of the
Property in 2024. This detailed sampling comprised part of a broader , property-wide basal-till-sampling
program completed by Sky Gold, which yielded impressive results currently slated for follow-up drilling in
2025 (see Sky Gold news release dated April 16, 2025).
Figure 1. Particulate Gold Grains - Priority Target Areas
The purpose of the 10-kilogram sampling was to verify and corroborate the results of a similar historic
geochemical survey, completed by Mingold Resources in 1990. Mingold’s work at that time outlined an
area of approximately 1 km X 1 km, reportedly yielding particulate gold grains in glacial till samples.
Highlighting Sky’s results is a cluster of 3 anomalous sample sites yielding 46, 18 and 15 gold grains ,
respectively (see Figure 1). Calculated total gold for the above 3 sample sites are 550, 285 & 215 ppb Au
(see Figure 1). Notably, the 3 sample sites are closely related to an unnamed ENE-trending fault near the
contact with intermediate volcanic rocks and granodioritic intrusive tocks, a classic favorable setting for
orogenic gold deposits to occur.
Figure 2. Total Gold (PP) – Priority Target Areas
A second cluster occurs to the south of the first and is intimately associated with the crustal -scale Tinto
Fault. Three sampling sites yielded a total of 27, 17 & 16 particulate gold grains with corresponding total
gold values of 1,872, 289 and 229 ppb gold, respectively (see Figure 2). Two of the anomalous sites yielding
particulate gold grains are also located immediately to the south of a strong conductor, yielded by the
VTEM airborne geophysical survey, suggesting a possible nearby bedrock source for the gold grains.
The 2 clusters containing particulate gold grains also coincide with strongly anomalous values in nickel,
cobalt, chrome, gold, copper & zinc, all suggestive of the presence of magmatic nickel , volcanogenic
massive sulphide as well as orogenic gold deposits.
Overburden Drilling Management (ODM) in Nepean, Ontario utilizes custom gravity concentration devices
to recover gold grains of all sizes. The refined concentrates that ODM produces are ideal for characterizing
particulate gold grains and for subsequent geochemical analyses.
UPCOMING SPRING EXPLORATION PROGRAM:
During the upcoming field season this spring, geological mapping and prospecting will be completed with
a priority placed on rock sampling and mapping of the target areas containing anomalous particulate gold
grains. This will be followed up by a subsequent program of trenching and diamond drilling, anticipated
for late summer to early fall of 2025.
