Exploration Commenced on Bingo Property in Golden Triangle, B.C. and Provides Additional 2022 Exploration Plans
23 June 2022 - 9:45PM
Juggernaut Exploration Ltd (JUGR.V) (OTCQB: JUGRF) (FSE:
4JE) (the “Company” or “Juggernaut”) is pleased to report
exploration has commenced in preparation for drilling onto the 100%
controlled Bingo property. The Bingo property was generated by the
J2 Syndicate within the Eskay Rift region of the Golden Triangle.
The property is situated within two kilometres of the unconformity
between Lower Hazelton and Stuhini Group rocks, also known as the
“Red Line” boundary where the vast majority of large deposits have
been found in the Golden Triangle. The property has an area of 989
hectares and is located 45 km SSW of Stewart, BC and 28 km W of
Kitsault, and only 12 km to tidewater landing and roads in the
historic mining town of Anyox, providing for cost effective
exploration.
- Bingo 2016 to 2018 Historical Highlights
include:
The Bingo Main target is an original discovery
that has never been drill tested. The zone contains significant
historical gold mineralized grab, chip and channel samples over an
area of 420 metres x 320 metres. The zone is open both on surface
and to depth and is drill ready. Highlights include:
- 83% of all the samples taken
contained gold mineralization
- Historical channel cut over 4.85
metres assayed 1.77 gpt Au, and 0.20 % Cu Drill ready
- Historical channel cut over 3.2
metres assayed 1.48 gpt Au and 0.37 % Cu Drill ready
- Between 2016 and 2018, 19 chips
samples were collected and assayed up to 9.79 gpt Au and 18 grab
samples that returned assay values up to 1.22 gpt Au
- 2022 program includes ground and
drone mapping, sampling, ground geophysics and BLEG geochemistry
focussed on defining additional drill targets in preparation for
drilling.

- Exploration Up-Date:
Goldstar: 2022 planned drilling
is to commence in early July expanding upon the 5 discovery holes
drilled in 2021, all of which intersected significant widths of
high-grade gold /polymetallic mineralization in
quartz-chlorite-sulphide veins on the newly discovered Goldilocks
Zone. Drill hole GS-21-05 intersected 10.795 gpt Au (14.31 AuEq)
over 5.5 m including 29.2 gpt Au (38.37 AuEq) over 2.0 m. The
Goldilocks Zone has been traced on surface for 290 meters with 160
meters vertical relief before being covered by overburden and
remains open both along strike and to depth. With strong gold
mineralization confirmed in all the drill holes strongly suggests
the presence of a significant gold system that remains
under-explored. The 2022 drilling will focus on testing the
Goldilocks Zone on strike for up to ~300 meters and down dip up to
400 m.
Goldstandard: 2022 planned
drilling is to commence in early July following up on drilling in
2021, Drill hole GSD-21-10 intersected 2.146 gpt Au (2.302 gpt
AuEq) over 6.5 m including 3.284 gpt Au (3.498 gpt AuEq) over 4.0 m
and 8.210 gpt Au (8.638 gpt AuEq) over 1 m. The Goldzilla Zone has
been traced on surface for 800 m with a vertical relief of 300 m
and remains open both to the southeast and to depth, only a small
fraction has been drill tested (~50 meters along strike). Drilling
is planned to test both down dip and strike of three of the seven
extensive high grade polymetallic gold silver veins discovered on
surface on the property. Goldzilla, Kraken and Phoenix, only a
small portion of the Goldzilla vein has been tested to date which
confirmed gold mineralization both along strike and to depth that
remains open.
Midas: Surface exploration is
planned to commence in August focused on sampling and mapping the
discovery outcrop both along and across strike in preparation for
drilling on the recently discovered Kokomo Eskay-style Volcanic
Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) target. The Kokomo outcrop contains
high grade gold-silver polymetallic mineralization in semi-massive
to massive sulphides where a 1 m chip sample assayed 9.343 gpt Au,
117 gpt Ag, 1.58 % Cu and 1.77 % Zn. This newly discovered outcrop
is located 700 m in the headwaters of a drainage where a Bulk Leach
Extractable Gold (BLEG) stream sediment sample assayed 29 ppb Au,
613 ppb Ag, 137 ppm Cu, 54.4 ppm Pb and 462 ppm Zn. The high-grade
polymetallic gold silver mineralization remains open in all
directions where outcrops of the same or similar lithology extend
over several hundred metersStatements
Dan Stuart, President and CEO of
Juggernaut Exploration, states: “We are excited to have
begun our most expansive and aggressive exploration season at
Juggernaut to date. We are drilling and exploring four 100%
controlled original discoveries this summer, all of which have the
potential to become the next big gold discovery in BC. We look
forward to providing news around drilling, exploration and results
as the exploration program progresses this summer. Juggernaut is in
a very unique position, with a tight share structure of just over
43MM shares issued and outstanding and $4,000,000 currently in the
treasury including exploration rebates. Juggernaut is fully funded
and on track for the rapidly approaching exploration programs for
both 2022 and 2023.”

OtherThe reader is cautioned
that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not
exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are
selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or
absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative
of the material sampled. In addition, the reader is cautioned that
proximity to known mineralization does not guarantee similar
mineralization will exist on the properties.
