G2 Goldfields
Inc. (“
G2” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to
provide an update on the ongoing exploration program at the
Company’s 27,719-acre OKO-AREMU gold project. G2 recently announced
an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“
MRE”) for
the OKO-Aremu project comprised of
922,000
ounces of gold
(“
Indicated”) and
1,099,000 ounces of
gold (“
Inferred”) [press release dated
April 03, 2024].
Figure 1
G2’s OKO gold resource lies along a prominent 2.5 km long
north-south structure which is defined by the high grade OMZ
resource to the north [688,000
ounces Au @
9.03 g/t Au
(Indicated) and 495,000 ounces
Au at 6.38 g/t
Au (Inferred)] and the Ghanie open pit and underground
resource to the south. G2 is currently drilling the southern half
of the structure, where results demonstrate significant potential
for the expansion of the established resource.
Assays from thirteen diamond drill holes (totaling 4,205 m) are
included in this release (a complete table can be viewed
here). Highlights of the latest drill results are
reported in Table 1.

The intercepts reported are down-hole widths.
True widths are estimated between 75% and 85% of reported down-hole
widths. Gold grades are uncapped.
Diamond drilling continues to significantly expand the
mineralized envelope at the 1.2 km long Ghanie Zone, with both
near-surface and deeper drill holes intersecting gold
mineralization. Dan Noone, G2 CEO, stated, “These results continue
to demonstrate that the OKO-Aremu district is still very much in
the discovery phase. G2 is currently growing its resource by
drilling two discoveries, NW Oko and Ghanie, simultaneously, whilst
advancing numerous greenfields targets. We look forward to
continuing to add further value for our shareholders.” G2 intends
to provide an updated mineral resource estimate, the Company’s
third, in early Q1 2025.
Discussion of Drilling Results
Figure 2
Figure 3
The current drilling at Ghanie is designed to test the
continuity of gold mineralisation in the space between the South,
Central and North zones. In drilling down plunge (45 degrees to the
northeast) of previous high-grade intercepts, it has become
apparent that the Ghanie Zone is a relatively continuous zone of
mineralisation. Ghanie Central was extended 60m along strike to the
south, notably, GDD-115 returned 2.1 g/t
Au over 52.3m. Holes GDD- 112
(2.5 g/t Au
over 13.4m), GDD-113:
(2.7 g/t Au
over 20.5m) and GDD-119
(3.2 g/t Au over 7.5m) have
provided further evidence of mineralization to the north of the
central area.
Additionally, current results demonstrate a significant
extension of gold mineralization to depth. Hole GDD-117 intercepted
9.7 g/t Au over 10m (from 628m) making GDD-117 the
deepest hole drilled in the Ghanie Zone to date. GDD-104 (5
g/t Au over 13.1m) and two intercepts in GDD-120,
2.8 g/t Au over 19m and 3.5 g/t Au over
13.5m, respectively, added 125m of strike to the north and
further tested the continuity of high-grade zones in Ghanie
Central. Gold mineralization in the Ghanie area remains open along
strike and down plunge.
QA/QC
Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage
facility located on the OKO project site, Guyana. Core samples from
the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are
sent to MSALABS Guyana, in Georgetown, Guyana, which is an
accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. Samples from
sections of core with obvious gold mineralisation are analysed for
total gold using an industry-standard 500g metallic screen fire
assay (MSALABS method MSC 550). All other samples are analysed for
gold using standard Fire Assay-AA with atomic absorption finish
(MSALABS method; FAS-121). Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are
analysed utilizing standard fire assay gravimetric methods (MSALABS
method; FAS-425). Certified gold reference standards, blanks, and
field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as
part of G2 Goldfields’ quality control/quality assurance program
(QAQC). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported
herein.

owned approximately 11.7% of G2’s issued and outstanding Shares
[see press release dated January 19, 2024].
In April 2024, G2 announced an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
(“MRE”) for the Oko property in Guyana [see press
release dated April 03, 2024]. Highlights of the Updated MRE
include:
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Oko
Main Zone (OMZ):
- 495,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 2,413,000 tonnes @
6.38 g/t Au
- 686,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 2,368,000 tonnes @
9.03 g/t Au
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the
Ghanie Zone:
- 604,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 12,216,000 tonnes @
1.54 g/t Au
- 236,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 3,344,000 tonnes @
2.20 g/t Au
The MRE was prepared by Micon International Limited with an
effective date of March 27, 2024. Significantly, the updated
mineral resources lie within 500 meters of surface. The Oko
district has been a prolific alluvial goldfield since its initial
discovery in the 1870’s, and modern exploration techniques continue
to reveal the considerable potential of the district.
