Luckystrike Resources Reports Results of 2019 Drill Program at the Lucky Strike Property, White Gold District, Yukon
18 September 2019 - 9:45PM
Luckystrike Resources Ltd. (LUKY.V) is pleased to
report the results of its 2019 diamond drill program on the Lucky
Strike Property. Four diamond drill holes totalling 1,105.82 meters
were completed (see accompanying map for collar locations here).
The Lucky Strike Property, located in the heart
of the Yukon’s White Gold District, is 100% owned by Luckystrike
Resources Ltd. with no underlying payments or royalties.
The 2019 drilling focused on the Monte Carlo
zone and was designed to target a previously discovered
1.8-kilometer long Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly.
The intent was to understand the anomaly’s relationship to gold
mineralization on the property.
Table 1 displays assay intercepts from the 2019
drill program.
- Drill hole DDLS-19-01 intersected a
broad, gold mineralized zone assaying 0.10 g/t Au over
67.0m.
- DDLS-19-01 also yielded multiple
sub-zones, such as 1.91 g/t Au over 2.0m from 249.0 to
251.0m. These intercepts are typically marked by quartz
veins with albitic alteration and pyritic mineralization.
- DDLS-19-01 intersected gold
mineralization at depth, assaying 0.88 g/t Au over 6.0m
from 273 – 279 meters downhole, indicating good potential
for deeper gold-bearing zones.
- Drill hole DDLS-19-02 intersected
multiple zones of low-grade gold mineralization. Oxidized
orthogneiss intersected near-surface assayed 0.29 g/t Au
over 4.2m from 17.0 – 21.2m. A fault zone within a mica
schist unit assayed 0.21 g/t Au over 10.3m from 67.7 –
78.0m.
- DDLS-19-02 also intersected pyritic
quartz-albite veining at depth, assaying 0.27 g/t Au over
5.0m from 199m – 204m. Small breccia units and isolated
gold-bearing quartz veins were identified towards the bottom of the
hole. These yielded assays of 0.91 g/t Au over 1.0m
from 289m - 290m and 0.48 g/t Au over 1.0m from
294 - 295m, and also indicate good potential for gold
mineralization at further depth.
The results of the 2019 drill program indicate
that the 800-meter section of the IP anomaly that was drill-tested
did not correlate well with the gold mineralization intersected in
2018 drill hole DDLS-18-06 (4.55 g/t Au over 7.6m). The source of
the IP chargeability anomaly appears to be lithological in origin,
likely caused by a magnetite-bearing chlorite schist unit.
The 2019 drilling revealed intercepts of
lode-style mineralization throughout holes DDLS-19-01 and 19-02.
Future drilling will focus on the Monte Carlo structure; a large,
kilometer-scale, northwest-trending shear zone hypothesized as the
source or main conduit of auriferous fluids occurring at Monte
Carlo. The 2019 drill program did not target this structure; rather
it was designed to test the chargeability anomaly along strike.
The Monte Carlo zone has a footprint of
1500 x 450 meters, determined from soil and rock
sampling, trenching, and geophysical surveying.
Monte Carlo is the northernmost zone of the
10 kilometer-long, SE-trending Lucky Strike
corridor. Along trend to the southeast is the Belmont,
Samson, Boss, and Maverick zones, all which remain to be drill
tested.

Message from William (Bill) Chornobay,
President and CEO:
“The results of this program indicate the
potential for deeper, structurally-controlled gold mineralization.
The 2019 data will aid in the planning of future drill programs as
we continue to gain a better understanding of the property.”
Other
Sample analysis and assaying for all of
Luckystrike’s projects have been conducted by the Vancouver
laboratory of Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories Canada (formerly
Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd), an ISO-9001 accredited company.
Rock and drill core samples were crushed, split and pulverized to
provide a 250 g pulp at 200 mesh. For gold analysis, a 50 g split
was fire assayed with an ICP-ES finish (FA350-Au). Samples assaying
>10 ppm Au were run with a gravimetric finish (FA550-Au).
Samples also underwent 45-element analysis involving a
multi-acid digestion and ICP-ES/MS analysis (MA200). Rigorous
quality assurance (QA) procedures were in place regarding sample
collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified quality
control (QC) reference material, comprising “standard” samples and
blank samples with known values, were routinely inserted into the
sample stream to ensure the accuracy and lack of contamination of
the assay process.
Carl Schulze, P. Geo., Consulting Geologist with
Aurora Geosciences Ltd, is a qualified person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, for Luckystrike's Yukon exploration
projects, and has reviewed and approved the technical information
in this release.
