G2 Goldfields Inc. (“
G2” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased
to announce assay results from the Company’s recently completed
maiden reconnaissance diamond drill program at the Northwest OKO
prospect, Guyana. NW OKO is the third discovery on G2’s 27,719-acre
project and is part of a 17-km-long mineralized corridor that hosts
numerous historical gold workings. NW OKO is centred approximately
3 km from the Company’s high-grade (i.e., + 9 g/t Au) gold resource
at the OMZ area [see press release dated April 25, 2022].
Significantly, multiple diamond drill holes have intersected
disseminated gold mineralization over considerable widths within
the 70m thick saprolitic horizon.
In late 2023, G2 completed a 24-hole, 2,329-meter scout drilling
program at NW OKO. Significant disseminated gold mineralization was
encountered in holes NWOD 2, 9, and 10, which returned mineralized
intercepts of 47.5m @ 0.6 g/t Au, 41.5m @
0.75 g/t Au, and 9m @ 2.1 g/t Au,
respectively. Additionally, comparatively higher grade, yet still
near-surface mineralization, was intercepted in holes NWOD 1 &
22, which returned 10.3m @ 3.7 g/t Au and
15m @ 6.3 g/t Au, respectively. A complete set of
drill results is available here.
The NW OKO shear structures are hosted on the boundaries of
ductile carbonaceous mudstones and more competent siltstones and
sandstones. The discovery area remains open in both directions and
there is potential for establishing parallel corridors of
mineralization, as evidenced by anomalous soil values and/or
extensive alluvial workings.
G2 currently has an ongoing drill program at the OKO NW
discovery whilst greenfields exploration work continues in other
areas.
Patrick Sheridan, Executive Chairman, commented, “The NW OKO
discovery, our third on this district scale property to date,
further demonstrates the potential of the OKO-Aremu project. G2 is
laser focused on continuing to grow the gold resource at OKO, and
with the completion of our recent $22.05 million financing with
AngloGold Ashanti (AU-NYSE), we are fully financed to execute
further drill programs in this emerging gold district. G2 remains
steadfast in adding value through greenfield discoveries, resource
expansion and proactively preparing for permitting a mine.”
About G2 Goldfields Inc.
The G2 Goldfields team is comprised of professionals who have
been directly responsible for the discovery of millions of ounces
of gold in Guyana as well as the financing and development of the
Aurora Gold Mine, Guyana’s largest gold mine. G2 announced its
maiden mineral resource estimate on the newly discovered Oko
property in Guyana (see press release dated April 25, 2022), and
has filed on SEDAR+ an independent technical report entitled “NI
43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Oko
Gold Property, Cooperative Republic of Guyana, South America”, with
an effective date of April 14, 2022. Mineral Resources are
estimated by Dr. Tania Ilieva, Ph.D., P.Geo. and Alan San Martin,
MAusIMM(CP), consultants of Micon International Limited.
Highlights of the report include:
- 974,000 oz. Au – Inferred Mineral
Resource contained within 3,274,000 tonnes @ 9.25 g/t Au; and
- 220,000 oz. Au – Indicated Mineral
Resource contained within 793,000 tonnes @ 8.63 g/t Au.
Significantly, all of the maiden mineral resources lies within
350 meters of surface and remains open down plunge. 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.

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 Goldfield’s quality control/quality assurance program
(QAQC). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported
herein.
