VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2024 / SNOWLINE GOLD CORP (TSXV:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the " Company " or " Snowline ") is pleased to announce discovery of a new reduced-intrusion related gold system (RIRGS) target 12 km from its Valley discovery on its Rogue Project in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Analytical results received from the 2023 surface exploration program at the Company's new Aurelius target reveal an open, 2,000 m long by up to 500 m wide zone of anomalous gold values in talus fines and soils, with concentrations of up to 14.9 g/t Au complemented by anomalous values for RIRGS pathfinder elements bismuth and tellurium. Rock chip samples from outcrops roughly 235 m apart averaging 2.01 g/t Au over 17.0 m (open) and 2.31 g/t Au over 14.0 m (true widths not known) demonstrate the potential for significant scale and a local source to the anomaly. Based on these results, Aurelius is a high priority exploration target at Rogue and a potential drill target in Snowline's upcoming 2024 exploration program.
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华/ACCESSWIRE/2024年2月20日/SNOWLINE GOLD CORP（多伦多证券交易所股票代码：SNWGF）（“公司” 或 “Snowline”）欣然宣布，在加拿大育空地区的Rogue项目中发现了一个新的减少入侵相关黄金系统（RIRGS），目标是距离其山谷发现12公里。该公司新的奥勒留斯目标2023年地表勘探计划获得的分析结果显示，塔鲁斯细粉和土壤中存在一个长2,000米、宽多达500米的空旷金值区域，金的浓度高达14.9 g/t，再加上RIRGS探路者元素铋和钽的异常值。来自相隔约235米的露头的岩屑样本，在17.0米（空旷处）上平均为2.01克/吨金，在14.0米以上（真实宽度未知）上平均为2.31克/吨金，这表明该异常有可能出现大规模和局部来源。根据这些结果，Aurelius是Rogue的高优先勘探目标，也是Snowline即将到来的2024年勘探计划的潜在钻探目标。
"We are excited to see such strong and consistent gold numbers from the field team's discovery at Aurelius," said Scott Berdahl, CEO & Director of Snowline. "The scale, consistency and geochemistry of the surface anomaly-which remains open-demonstrates a strong gold-bearing hydrothermal system driven by a nearby intrusion. The outcrop samples show that the country rock hosts gold mineralization, a typical feature of reduced-intrusion related gold systems. Thus, we have two immediate exploration targets: country rock-hosted mineralization directly outcropping at Aurelius and driving the gold anomalism over a large area, and the potential for an intact, near-surface Valley-like intrusion-hosted target. Valley itself is visible from the new target along a prominent structural corridor that connects the two locations-we consider Aurelius a prospective location for a sibling discovery."
Snowline首席执行官兼董事斯科特·伯达尔表示：“我们很高兴看到实地团队在奥勒留斯发现的金矿数量如此强劲而稳定。”“地表异常的规模、一致性和地球化学性质仍然开放，表明了附近入侵驱动的强大含金热液系统。露头样本显示，该乡村岩石具有金矿化作用，这是与减少侵入相关的金矿系统的典型特征。因此，我们有两个直接的勘探目标：在奥勒留斯直接露出乡村岩石的矿化并推动大片区域的金异常，以及可能形成一个完好无损的、类似山谷地表的侵入性目标。从新目标沿着连接这两个地点的突出结构走廊可以看到山谷本身——我们认为奥勒留斯是兄弟发现的潜在地点。”
Grid and contour sampling of talus fine and soils at Aurelius delineates an open, 2,000 x 500 m zone of consistently elevated to anomalous gold concentrations, to a maximum of 14.9 g/t Au in talus fines. Eighty-nine of 192 samples (46%) returned >0.05 g/t Au, with 62 of these exceeding 0.1 g/t Au. Strong results along the southern, southeastern and northwestern limits of the survey suggest potential for a larger target area, as do anomalous talus fine results to the southwest of the main anomaly (Figure 1) and high gold values in historical stream sediment samples from surrounding drainages. Gold values at Aurelius have elevated bismuth (up to 352 ppm) and tellurium (up to 21.9 ppm) values along with generally low levels of arsenic-a geochemical signature similar to that of Snowline's Valley discovery. Elevated to anomalous concentrations of tungsten, silver, lead and copper are also present and correlate with gold.
在奥勒留斯对滑石细和土壤进行网格和轮廓采样描绘了一个 2,000 x 500 米的开阔区域，金浓度持续升高至异常，塔洛斯细粉中金的最大浓度为14.9 g/t。192个样本中有89个（46％）返回的金含量超过0.05克/吨，其中62个样本的金含量超过0.1克/吨。调查的南部、东南部和西北部边界的强劲结果表明，目标区域有可能扩大，主要异常西南部的异常塔洛斯精细结果（图1）以及来自周围排水系统的历史溪流沉积物样本中的高金值也是如此。奥勒留斯的黄金价值使铋值（高达352 ppm）和钍（高达21.9 ppm）值升高，砷含量普遍较低，这种地球化学特征与雪莲谷发现的相似。钨、银、铅和铜的浓度升高到异常浓度也存在并与金相关。
Two exposed outcrops at Aurelius were sampled by continuous rock chip sampling, across distances of 100 m and 22 m respectively (Figure 1). The outcrops themselves are roughly 235 m apart. The 100 m section, sampled in 2 m subsections, returned a continuously mineralized interval of 14.0 m averaging 2.31 g/t Au and 21.1 g/t Ag, including 4.0 m @ 3.59 g/t Au and 10.2 g/t Ag, and 2.0 m @ 5.49 g/t Au and 82.9 g/t Ag, along with other zones of elevated gold values (0.1 g/t to 0.4 g/t Au, with one additional 2.0 m subsection @ 3.48 g/t Au). The 22 m section, sampled in 1 m subsections, returned a continuously mineralized interval of 17.0 m averaging 2.01 g/t Au, including 2.0 m @ 4.22 g/t Au, and 2.0 m @ 4.94 g/t Au at the open edge of the 22 m section. These rock chip samples were taken by hand using rock hammers and are thus not as representative as drill core samples. True widths for the mineralized intervals are not known, but the samples were oriented nearly perpendicular to north-south and northeast-southwest structures that appear to control mineralization.
通过连续岩屑采样，对奥勒留斯两处裸露露的露头进行了采样，取样距离分别为 100 米和 22 米（图 1）。露头本身相隔约235米。在 2 m 小节中采样的 100 m 部分返回了 14.0 m 的连续矿化区间，平均为 2.31 g/t Au 和 21.1 g/t Ag，包括 4.0 m @ 3.59 g/t Au 和 10.2 g/t Ag，以及 2.0 m @ 5.49 g/t Au 和 82.9 g/t Ag，以及其他金值升高的区域（0.1 g/t 至 0.4 g/t Au），另外还有一个 2.0 m 分段 @ 3.48 g/t Au）。在 1 m 小节中采样的 22 m 部分返回了 17.0 m 的连续矿化区间，平均为 2.01 g/t Au，包括 2.0 m @ 4.22 g/t Au，以及 22 m 段开口边缘的 2.0 m @ 4.94 g/t Au。这些岩屑样本是使用岩锤手工采集的，因此不像钻芯样本那样具有代表性。矿化区间的真实宽度尚不清楚，但样品的取向几乎垂直于似乎可以控制矿化的南北和东北-西南的结构。
Aurelius is underlain by a sequence of interlayered Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks, cut by steeply dipping north-south and northeast-southwest structures and altered by fluids from subsequent emplacement of intrusive rocks (Figures 1 and 3). Alteration takes the form of silicification, clay alteration associated with the structures and hornfels in sedimentary rocks. The highest gold values are associated with pervasive silicification in tuff sequences. The target sits 4.5 km west of the mid-Cretaceous Old Cabin Pluton. Airborne magnetics and the observation of outcropping granodiorite roughly 600 m west of the target highlight the presence of additional intrusive rocks in the vicinity of the anomaly, and the potential for a Valley-style mineralized intrusion located near surface at Aurelius.
奥勒留斯由一系列层间古生代沉积岩和火山岩所覆盖，这些岩石由南北和东北-西南的陡峭结构切割，并被随后侵入性岩石堆积产生的流体所改变（图 1 和 3）。变化以硅化、与沉积岩中的结构和角岩相关的粘土蚀变的形式出现。最高的金值与凝灰岩序列中普遍的硅化有关。目标位于白垩纪中期 Old Cabin Pluton 以西 4.5 公里处。空中磁学和对目标以西约600米处露出的花岗闪长岩的观测表明，异常点附近还有其他侵入性岩石，并且有可能在奥勒留斯地表附近出现山谷式矿化入侵。
The Company plans to follow up on the target aggressively in 2024, with additional surface sampling and mapping, an airborne ZTEM geophysical survey to assist in targeting, and potentially Phase I drilling.
该公司计划在2024年积极跟踪该目标，进行更多的地表采样和测绘，进行空中ZTEM地球物理调查以协助确定目标，并可能进行第一阶段钻探。
Historical work at Aurelius is sparse. The "Horn" mineral occurrence (Yukon Minfile 105O 010) roughly 1 km west of Aurelius was noted and sampled as a copper occurrence in 1970. In 1982, two soil lines intersected parts of the anomaly, returning high gold values that have not been directly verified by the Company. Snowline had previously identified the broader area west of the Old Cabin pluton, including Aurelius, as a primary target area for exploration based on historical results and magnetic anomalism. The discovery of Aurelius marks the delineation of a new RIRGS target on the Rogue Project.
奥勒留斯的历史著作很少。1970年，人们发现了位于奥勒留斯以西约1公里处的 “角” 矿物矿物（育空地区Minfile 105O 010），并作为铜矿点进行了采样。1982年，两条土壤线与异常部分相交，返回了该公司尚未直接证实的高金值。根据历史结果和磁异常，Snowline此前曾将包括奥勒留斯在内的Old Cabin岩体以西的更广阔区域确定为主要的勘探目标区域。奥勒留斯的发现标志着 Rogue Project 中一个新的 RIRGS 目标的描绘。
With steep, rocky terrain and poor soil development on parts of Aurelius, many surface geochemistry samples are classified as talus fines. Talus fines samples are produced by mechanical weathering of rocks and are less modified by chemical weathering than typical soils. Some elements in talus fine samples may have stronger geochemical responses than soils from over a bedrock geochemical anomaly. Talus fine samples are also more susceptible to a sampling bias wherein more easily weathered mineralized zones, such as sulphide-rich veins, can contribute a larger portion of the talus fine sediment load than the more durable and relatively barren country rock, resulting in a concentration of associated elements like gold.
由于奥勒留斯部分地区地形陡峭多岩且土壤发育不良，许多地表地球化学样本被归类为滑石粉。Talus 细粉样品由岩石的机械风化作用产生，与普通土壤相比，化学风化对样品的改变较少。塔鲁斯精细样品中的某些元素可能比来自基岩地球化学异常的土壤具有更强的地球化学响应。塔鲁斯精细样品也更容易受到采样偏差的影响，即更容易风化的矿化区域，例如富含硫化物的矿脉，比起更耐久和相对贫乏的乡村岩石，可以占塔鲁斯细沉积物负荷的更大比例，从而导致金等相关元素的集中。
ABOUT ROGUE
关于 ROGUE
Snowline's flagship Rogue Project hosts the Valley target, a newly discovered, bulk tonnage style, reduced intrusion-related gold system (RIRGS), with geological similarities to multi-million-ounce deposits currently in production such as Kinross's Fort Knox Mine in Alaska and Victoria Gold's Eagle Mine in the Yukon. Early drill results demonstrate unusually high gold grades for such a system, present near surface across drill intersections of hundreds of metres. Gold is associated with bismuthinite and telluride minerals hosted in sheeted quartz vein arrays within and along the margins of a one-kilometer-scale, mid-Cretaceous aged Mayo-suite intrusion. Valley is an early-stage exploration project without a resource estimate, and while initial results are encouraging, the presence or absence of an economically viable orebody cannot be determined until additional work is completed.
Snowline的旗舰Rogue Project拥有山谷目标，这是一种新发现的散装吨位、减少了入侵相关的黄金系统（RIRGS），其地质与目前在产的数百万盎司矿床有相似之处，例如阿拉斯加的金罗斯的诺克斯堡矿和育空地区的维多利亚黄金的鹰矿。早期的钻探结果表明，这种系统的金品位异常高，存在于数百米的钻探交叉点的地表附近。金与含铋和特柳化物矿物有关，这些矿物存在于一千米级、白垩纪中期的梅奥套件入侵的边缘和边缘的石英脉阵列中。Valley是一个未进行资源估算的早期勘探项目，尽管初步结果令人鼓舞，但在完成额外工作之前，无法确定是否存在经济上可行的矿体。
The Rogue Project area hosts multiple intrusions that are geologically similar to Valley along with widespread gold anomalism in stream sediment, soil and rock samples. Elsewhere, RIRGS deposits are known to occur in clusters. The Rogue Project is considered by the Company to have district-scale potential for additional reduced intrusion-related gold systems.
Rogue Project区域有多个地质学上与山谷相似的入侵物，并且在溪流沉积物、土壤和岩石样本中存在广泛的金异常。在其他地方，已知RIRGS沉积物是成群发生的。该公司认为，Rogue项目具有区域规模的潜力，可以进一步减少与入侵相关的黄金系统。
