Inventus Mining Outlines Drilling Program at the Pardo Gold Project
13 November 2024 - 12:00AM
Inventus Mining Corp. (TSXV: IVS) (“Inventus” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Phase 1 Drill
Program at the 100%-owned Pardo gold project located 65 km east of
Sudbury, Ontario, will begin in late November 2024. The fully
funded program will consist of a grid of approximately 80 vertical
holes having an average depth of 12 metres with the objective of
systematically sampling an area of known gold mineralization. The
process for drilling and sampling has been developed by Inventus to
provide data that is adequate to support a future mineral resource
estimate.
The program will use large diameter “PQ” core
(8.5 cm or 3-3/8” inch in diameter) and photon assay technology to
achieve optimal results. The use of large drill core is supported
by prior drilling programs in 2016-18, input from Snowden Optiro
consulting who have previous experience with this deposit-type, and
the results of the Company’s two previous bulk sampling programs
that returned 1,000 tonnes at 4.2 gpt
gold and 5,000 tonnes at 3.4 gpt
gold (see news releases Jan 3, 2018 and Sep 27, 2022).
The gold mineralization at Pardo is unique in
that it is flat lying and near surface to a depth of 50 metres. The
Phase 1 Drill Program will target areas of gold mineralization that
occurs at surface to a depth of 15 metres, where low-cost open cut
surface mining could potentially be used.
“The Company currently sits at an
exciting juncture; our thorough technical work has led us to a
stage where we can confidently start defining a gold resource
estimate at Pardo. The project offers several advantages due to the
shallow, flat-lying nature of the mineralization and its location
proximal to infrastructure which include: 1) Opportunity for low
cost per ounce resource definition, 2) Reduced capital requirements
for early open-cut surface mining, and 3) Favourable metallurgy
with high gold recoveries using standard techniques such as
gravity, flotation, and cyanide leaching, which provides
flexibility to consider both processing ore offsite or to build a
low-capital mill onsite. This first phase of drilling, targeting
surface-level mineralization that could be exploited by open cut
mining, will be an exciting one as we advance the project and
unlock value for our shareholders,” stated Wesley Whymark,
President and Head of Exploration.

expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”,
“anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”,
“if”, “yet”, “potential”, “undetermined”, “objective”, or “plan”.
Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and
address future events and conditions, by their very nature they
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements
are based on information currently available to the Company, the
Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet
management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors
involved with forward-looking information could cause actual
events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
information. Forward looking information in this news release
includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s objectives, goals or
future plans, statements, exploration results, potential
mineralization, the estimation of mineral resources, exploration
and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of
operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking
information include, but are not limited to the failure to identify
mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources
to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility study which
recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of
metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to
obtain required governmental, environmental or other project
approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to
accommodate First Nations and other indigenous peoples,
uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing
needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes
in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the
development of projects, capital and operating costs varying
significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the
mineral exploration and development industry, and those risks set
out in the Company’s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although the
Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing
the forward-looking information in this news release are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such
information, which only applies as of the date of this news
