Carlin Type Gold Mineralization Discovered At Green Springs Project

Carlin Type Gold Mineralization Discovered At Green Springs Project

VANCOUVER – Contact Gold Corp. reported the discovery of new Carlin-type gold mineralization confirmed from rock and soil sampling results from its 2023 exploration program at its Green Springs gold project located on the prolific Cortez Trend in northeastern Nevada. These new results define the Oscar Target, an exciting near-surface and large-scale drill target that encompasses the northerly projection of the unexplored northernmost portion of the Green Springs Mine Trend.

New claims cover the Oscar Target that was generated over the course of the 2023 exploration program utilizing mapping with soil and rock sampling by the Contact Gold team, adding yet another drill target generated by Contact Gold since acquiring Green Springs.  Other key targets expected to be drilled in 2024 include Whiskey, Foxtrot, and Zulu.  

Oscar Target Highlights: 800 metres from closest drill holes; Significant Carlin Type pathfinder element anomaly define the core of the target; Gold in soil values increase in the direction of the Tango Zone, located 600 metres to the east; Similar geochemical anomalies to those at Tango; and Fully permitted for the 2024 drill program.

“The new Oscar target is yet another high conviction exploration target generated by the Contact Gold team at Green Springs,” said Matt Lennox-King, President & CEO. “The geologic environment at Green Springs is very prospective for near surface, oxidized, Carlin Type gold mineralization, and when combined with the systematic exploration programs being carried out by the team, has been delivering new drill targets and newly drilled discoveries.”
