Stuve Gold Corp. Provides Corporate Update
Calgary, Alberta – December 2, 2021, 2021 – Stuve Gold Corp. is pleased to provide the following
corporate overview and update to activities in Chile.
Stuve Gold Corp (‘STUVE’) is an emerging mining exploration company engaged in advancing mineral
properties in Chile. Stuve Gold is focused on opportunities that exhibit promising potential for gold,
copper, silver, and cobalt. Having successfully acquired a core inventory of five (5) high value properties
over the past 12 months, Stuve is selectively advancing these properties through exploration and
potential exploitation with the goal of uncovering their prospective value.
INCA
STUVE recently announced the final closing of the terms of the deal for the 2,941 ha INCA property in
region III of Chile (see NR dated April 22, 2021). The INCA property is located in the Maricunga Gold-
Silver Belt and covers 5 gold-silver-copper bearing acid sulphate epithermal alteration zones exhibiting
the same geological, structure and mineralogy as the zones hosting the neighboring multi-million ounce
deposits of Cerro Casale (15km to the east), Caspiche and Refugio. The Caspiche and Cerro Casale
properties have just recently been reactivated with a view to near term production and the neighboring
Santa Maria property was recently optioned for over $25M.
2
Previous geological, geochemical and geophysical programs on the INCA property yielded high grade
results of 47.6 – 290 g/t gold and 381 – 787 g/t silver over 1 – 1.5 m widths from the high sulfidation
veins and altered host rock samples averaging 2.2 g/t gold and 20.6 g/t silver over 5 – 15m. Induced
Polarization (IP) surveys were also conducted over the 1+ km2 Ojos de Agua alteration zone. STUVE´S
exploration targets at INCA are multi-million ounce acid sulphate epithermal gold-silver vein and
disseminated gold-silver-copper deposits.
The near-term objectives for field activities on INCA include:
1. Conclude the current detailed review of prior geological, geochemical and geophysical program.
2. To design and initiate a reconnaissance drilling program to test the priority targets from the
review.
Teresa/COBA SW
STUVE announced recently (NR dated September 28, 2021) the completion of the Phase 1 drill program
on the Teresa claim. The Teresa claims are contained within the 1,260 ha COBA SW land holdings
located in the Coastal IOCG belt of Region III and located on trend to the SW of the Armonia mines in the
historic Carrizal Alto mining district. Estimates from past production of high-grade copper, gold, silver
and cobalt ores from the Carrizal Alto mining district are in the three to four million tonne range from
vein systems similar to those on the Teresa claims. Of significance is the presence of previous
underground mines on the STUVE claims that are being reviewed for continuous drift and shrinkage
stope mining.
3
STUVE´s target at COBA SW is the Teresa vein system, visible at surface and continuous across the COBA
SW claims for over 2 km. The recent drill program confirmed extension of the vein system at deeper
depth below the existing mine workings to over 170m depth and continuation between north and south
shafts as well as extension to the SW by over 200m. Widths are consistently between 2m and 4m.
Grades exhibited in samples taken from the underground tunnels in February and July 2020 included
samples that averaged 3.59% Cu, 4.36 g/t Au, 5.7 g/t Ag and 0.11% Co, while the recent drill program
confirmed core samples up to 2.9% Cu, 5.37g/t Au, 34.4 g/t Ag and 0.61% Co.
The near-term objectives for field activities on Teresa include:
1. To confirm working condition of the existing underground tunnels and shaft in the Teresa SW
mine and extract additional infill chip samples at various levels within the SW mine tunnels.
2. To create an adit to the SW of the existing SW mine tunnels within the positive drill result radius
into the oxidized vein system to a length of 50m for bulk sampling. Mine workings/ore are to be
transported to the processing plant at Vallenar 50km to the SW for processing, grading and
potential cash flow through bulk sampling/small scale mining.
Additional Properties:
The other properties in the STUVE asset inventory hold significant promise for future exploration. These
claim packages include:
ROMA –
The 3,500 ha Roma Property, part of the Ovalle mining district within the Coastal IOCG/Porphyry
Copper-Gold Belt and in the same regional geological environment as the ex-Dayton gold and currently
operating Teck Resources Andacollo copper-gold mines 20 km to the NE. For more than a century small-
medium scale mining of high-grade copper, gold and silver ores grading up to 10% copper, 80 g/t gold
has been carried out in the Ovalle mining district from skarns, disseminated deposits and poly-metallic
veins systems. Prior drilling on the property yielded encouraging results.
Santa Gracia –
The 11,500 ha Santa Gracia Property located in the Coastal Cordillera of Region III, Chile, covers known
or inferred extensions of 7 past producing high-grade Cu, Au and Co bearing veins systems and covers
the southern half of the La Higuera – Santa Gracia copper-gold-cobalt mining camp. The La Higuera-Sta
Gracia mining district was one of the largest Cu-Au producers in Chile prior to 1881. In 1903 district
production was around 12,000 tons/month at an average grade of 10% copper and 15 g/t gold.
Bosque –
The 25,800 ha El Bosque Property is an early staged exploration property located within the historic Rio
Hurtado copper-gold-silver mining district in the Andean Cordillera of Region IV, Chile. At the north end
4
of one of the six 1–9 km2 alteration zones on the property a 2011 Chilean Government regional
geochemical survey detected a strong copper- gold- cobalt anomaly. Limited preliminary check sampling
upstream from this 2.5 km2 anomaly by STUVE returned values up to 0.61% Cu and 0.11 g/t Au, 38.9 g/t
Ag and 0.142% Co.
V.P. Exploration Terry Walker – Our team in Chile has been very busy evaluating and acquiring our
targeted properties of merit to build an enticing portfolio for advancement. With over 30 years of
experience and knowledge in Chile, we pursued what we consider to be the highest value opportunities
available and now look forward to advancing them further.
President Gordon Aldcorn – With 5 Project properties in hand we are excited to be advancing towards
further exploration and prospective exploitation. In late September we announced the results of our first
drill program on the Teresa/COBA SW Project, confirming extensions of a high-grade vein system that
hosts two historic mines with extensions both at depth and laterally that we are now evaluating for
prospective small-scale production. At INCA we have a project that shows similar attributes to
surrounding porphyry type deposits under development by Barrack/Goldcorp (Cerro Casales), TORQ
(Santa Maria) and further SW on trend Lundin related companies (FILO Mining – Filo Del Sol and
Josemaria Resources-Josemaria Project).
