Maple Gold intersects multiple gold zones within 100 meters from surface at the NW Zone
(firmenpresse) -
May 6, 2020 - Montreal (Quebec): Maple Gold Mines Ltd. Maple Gold or the Company) (TSX-V: MGM, OTCQB: MGMLF; Frankfurt: M3G - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/maple-gold-mines-drilling-new-high-grade-extension-531-zone/ ) is pleased to report new assay results from its 2020 winter drilling campaign at the Douay Project. The Company planned a single drill-hole (DO-20-272) near the limit of the NW Zone this winter, a zone which has only seen two drill holes since 1997. Maple Golds geologists identified a significant drilling gap of approximately 300 metres to the west of a historical drill-hole that cut significant gold mineralization starting from only 41m downhole (3.15 g/t Au over 8.9m). This years drill-hole was collared 100m to the west and cut 4.16 g/t Au over 3.4m starting from 39.6m downhole (including 7.68 g/t Au over 1.7m), and 1.15 g/t Au over 20m starting from 50m downhole, including 8m of 1.34 g/t Au. This near-surface zone remains open for about 200m to the west and the eastern extension of the historical intercept also remains open to the east for about 150m (see Fig. 2).

Maple Golds VP, Exploration, Fred Speidel, commented: Results from our 2020 drill-hole at the NW Zone provides support for the presence of a near-surface higher-grade zone in this relatively sparsely drilled area. Last winter we drilled a single drill hole in an area (531 Zone) that hadnt been drilled much since the early 1990s and we intersected multiple high-grade zones. This year we similarly planned a single hole to test a concept at the NW Zone, which also hadnt seen much work since the 90s. The new NW Zone intercepts and lack of drilling in the immediate area is another example of the type of exploration upside that still exists within the known deposit area at Douay, not to mention the greater property package.
The geological characteristics of the NW Zone in this area are similar to those in the Main Zone at the opposite (ESE) end of the deposit, with host rocks consisting of highly foliated quartz sericite-pyrite-altered volcanic, pyroclastic and lesser sedimentary rocks. Although the NW Zone is relatively distal, the influence of the Douay alkaline intrusive-hydrothermal system is still noted by frequent carbonatite injections, relative abundance of fluorite (see fig. 3 below) and commonly elevated Rare Earth Element (REE) values. This lends further support to the Companys existing hypothesis of geological (and geophysical) continuity between these two zones, where there are several drilling gaps of about 500-1000m in length that remain to be tested, only a few of which are shown in Fig. 1 above.

Significant drilling gaps still exist in this area and additional infill drilling is warranted, with the aim of defining additional near-surface gold mineralization.

Notes: All lengths are downhole, true widths not known due to limited drilling in this area. DO-20-272 was abandoned due to drilling problems; DO-20-272A was collared about 3m from the original hole and drilled steeper. Upper and lower zones were cut in both holes; by about 70m downhole, the two holes would have been approximately 10m apart.
