0.696 g/t Gold with Drill Hole GSS19-49 in the Goldstorm
Zone at Treaty Creek
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2019) -
Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD) (FSE: TUC) (the
"
Company
" or "
Tudor Gold
") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the 2019 exploration program at the
Goldstorm Zone on the Company's Treaty Creek property, which totalled 9,781.8 meters within 14 diamond drill holes. This
year's drilling program generated the best near-surface results attained to date on the project. As well as several hundred meters
extension along strike to the northeast, the drilling has significantly expanded the mineralized limits to the southeast, where one
of the best near-surface intervals averaged 2.006 g/t Au over 87m, within 336 m averaging 1.004 g/t Au in hole GS19-52.
The results of the five final holes are reported below. Hole GS19-49 was drilled to 960.1 m, at -80° dip, on Section 111+00 NE
next to the previously announced vertical hole GS19-48, which yielded
0.725 g/t Au
over 838.5m, including an upper horizon
that averaged 1.048 g/t gold Au over 328.5 m.
Hole GS19-49 returned equally impressive results with a comparable
0.696
g/t Au over 826.5 m and the upper horizon averaging 0.998 g/t Au over 249 m.
Along the same section, hole GS19-52 (-
50° dip at 115° azimuth) was drilled much longer than expected because the Goldstorm System continues at least 700 m to the
southeast
; GS19-52 averaged 1.004 g/t gold
over 336 meters with a higher grade core of 2.006 g/t gold over 87 meters
within the upper horizon.
Tudor Gold Exploration Manager, Ken Konkin explains:
"Clearly the results of the previously reported deep vertical step-
out holes demonstrate the impressive size and grade consistency of the Goldstorm system. Within the overall mineralized
package of fragmental intermediate volcanic rocks there are several sub-horizontal horizons of significantly higher gold grades.
The uppermost portions of the previously reported holes
GS19-42, GS19-47 and GS19-48 contained respectively, 1.268 g/t
gold over 252 m, 0.828 g/t gold over 301.5 m and 1.048 g/t gold over 328.5 m.
We now have several other drill holes with
excellent near-surface gold values to add to this list of growing intercepts.
GS19-52 has returned the highest core gold
grades of 2.006 g/t Au over 87 m within a 336m intercept of 1.004 g/t Au.
These intercepts are part of the uppermost
portion of the Goldstorm system which we refer to as the '300 Horizon'. The '300 Horizon' remains open along strike to the
northeast as well as to the southeast. In addition, the lower horizons of the Goldstorm system also remain open in all directions
and the lowest horizon is open at depth."
Furthermore, Mr. Konkin adds
"We are seeing consistent silver and copper mineralization associated with the deeper gold
horizons such as the previously reported
151.5 m zone of 0.572 g/t gold, 8.5 g/t silver and 0.21% copper
that was
intercepted from 665.0 to 816.5 m in GS19-47 and a
66.0 m zone with 0.958 g/t gold, 3.9 g/t silver and 0.35% copper
,
which
was intercepted from 874.5 to 940.5 m in GS19-48. Similarly, we have now seen in GS19-49, a
78 m intercept
averaging 1.145 g/t gold, 11.2 g/t silver and 0.21% copper
(750-828 m) and in GS19-52 an
88.5 m interval averaging
0.352 g/t gold, 9.3 g/t silver and 0.25% copper
(515-603.5 m). Not only does the Goldstorm Zone remain open at depth and
along strike, we are now seeing base-metal associations possibly as part of a zonation within the hydrothermal system."
The final three footwall extension holes (GS19-50, GS19-51 and GS19-53) were completed on section 110+00 NE. These were
successful in extending the width of the mineralized zone to the southeast:
Hole GS19-50 returned an average of
0.602 g/t Au over 577.5 m
including
0.811 g/t Au over 267.0
m in the '300
Horizon'
.
Hole GS19-51 returned an average of
0.721 g/t Au over 246 m in the '300 Horizon' and a lower horizon that
averages 1.017 g/t Au over 40.5 m.
Hole GS19-53 returned an average of
0.984 g/t Au over 147.0 m
in the '300 Horizon'.
GS19-53 was stopped in gold
mineralization due to inclement end-of-season weather.

Walter Storm, President and CEO
,
stated
: "I am very pleased that the safe and successful 2019 exploration program has
concluded on such a positive note. All 14 exploration drill holes hit their targets and they all returned very good results. The
consistency of the mineralized intercepts from hole to hole is equally impressive. This years' drill program has vastly increased
the known size of the Goldstorm mineralized body but further drilling is essential to define the full length, width and depth of the
system which still remains open in all directions."
