Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH,OTC:GGLDF) (OTCQB: GGLDF) (FWB: GGA1) (“Getchell” or the “Company”) is pleased to present test results for drill hole FCG25-36, testing the expansion of gold mineralization to the northwest at the Company’s 100% owned Fondaway Canyon gold project in Nevada.
Key Highlights – FCG25-36
- Extends the strike of gold mineralization 70m to the NW
- New high-end discovery rating 5.8 g/t Au over 19.0 mlocated 35 meters beyond the mineral resources pit and completely open in all directions
- Two additional assessment intervals 1.4 g/t Au over 23.6m And 2.2 g/t Au over 11.2 m demonstrate the continuation of the Colorado SW zone with 40m get out to the NW
“There are a few key insights from hole FCG25-36, all of which are entirely positive and impactful. First and foremost, the results demonstrate the continuation of mineralization unabated during strike to the northwest. Second, and almost expected from the mineralization system at Fondaway Canyon, is the discovery of another high-grade gold interval that extends beyond the limits of previous drilling. Third, this region is fully open to further expansion and bodes well for future mineral resource growth.” said Mike Sieb, president of Getchell Gold Corp.
Borehole FCG25-36
Drill hole FCG25-36 was located midway up the northern slope, targeting the northwest extension of gold mineralization in a completely untested area (Figures 1 and 2). FCG25-36 targeted a region not present in previous drilling and represents the most northwestern hole drilled to date.
FCG25-36 demonstrated continuity of gold mineralization (Colorado SW zone) intersecting 1.4 g/t Au over 23.6m And 2.2 g/t Au over 11.2 m (Table 1). These gold intercepts represent a 40 meter step along the strike, leaving the gold mineralization open for extension (Figure 3).
In addition, a high-grade zone was discovered further down the borehole, 35 meters beyond the open well shell of the mineral resource, and 70 meters to the northwest of the previous drilling. 5.8 g/t Au over 19.0 m included 12.9 g/ton Au over 6.5 m (Table 1 and Figure 3). This is one of the highest quality gold intercepts reported in the Colorado SW drilling region. Gold mineralization is completely open during strikes and dips.
Given the high grade encountered, gold mineralization beyond the previously drilled extent, and the potential for further expansion, follow-up drilling is planned in this region.
Limestone/Marble Meaning
The primary lithology hosting the gold mineralization at Fondaway Canyon is a thick succession of interbedded siltstone, shale, and mudstone.
At the surface, northwest of the Colorado Pit, is a limestone/marble block that is home to the historic Upper Quick-Tung Tungsten Mine (Figure 2). This limestone/marble block is part of a series of structurally bonded limestone/marble units located between two parallel NE-SW faults spanning the distance from the Colorado Pit to the Pack Rat gold zone.
Previous drilling has occurred exclusively in the southeast of this NE-SW corridor of limestone/marble blocks, with the exception of drilling in the area north of the Colorado Pit, which has revealed high-grade gold mineralization at the surface (see company press release dated September 23, 2025). Hole FCG25-36 is the first hole to expand the drilling to the northwest and target this untested area.
The results from hole FCG25-36 show that:
- High-grade gold mineralization has been discovered and occurs in contact with and to the northwest of (i.e. on the opposite side of) a limestone/marble unit;
- The limestone/marble units and structural environment may be a feature of the gold enrichment; And
- The limestone/marble unit is itself mineralized with gold, reporting an intercept rating 0.4 g/t Au over 14.8 meters.
The key conclusion here is that the limestone/marble blocks and the NE-SW structural corridor in which they are located are not limiting gold mineralization, but may well be part of a control mechanism for gold emplacement, and that mineral resource and open pit mine expansion could be extended further northwest than currently modeled. This discovery provides additional encouragement and impetus for follow-up drilling in this region.
