Fiore Gold Ltd.: Fiore Gold Drills 45.7 Metres of 2.01 g/t Gold and 42.7 Metres of 1.17 g/t Gold, Continues to Expand Mineralization at Its Gold Rock Project, Nevada

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2021 / FIORE GOLD LTD. (TSXV:F)(OTCQB:FIOGF) ("Fiore" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional results from the resource expansion and exploration drilling program at its Gold Rock project in Nevada (Figure 1). These latest results from Gold Rock and the surrounding exploration areas show:

  • several holes with wide, higher-grade gold intercepts have defined mineralization extending at least 400 m beyond the northern end of the currently defined Gold Rock mineralization, and;
  • a new discovery of oxide gold mineralization at Jasperoid Creek approximately 1.4 km north of the current Gold Rock Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") pits.

These outstanding drill results show mineralization remains open particularly to the north, supporting our belief that Gold Rock will continue to grow beyond the scope of the project outlined in the most recent PEA.

Highlights from the seventeen holes reported here include:

  • 30.5 m of 0.79 g/t gold in hole GR20-091 from the planned South Pit area
  • 18.3 m of 0.96 g/t gold in hole GR20-102 from the Jasperoid Creek target
  • 42.7 m of 1.17 g/t gold in hole GR20-110 north of the planned North Pit
  • 18.3 m of 0.99 g/t gold in hole GR21-001 north of the planned North Pit
  • 45.7 m of 2.01 g/t gold in hole GR21-002 north of the planned North Pit

The northern extension of mineralization at Gold Rock can be seen in section 1 (long-section, Figure 2) and section 2 (cross-section, Figure 3), where holes GR20-110, GR21-001, GR21-002 and GR21-003 each intersected mineralized and silicified Joanna limestone well beyond the northern margins of the currently proposed open pit. The intercept in GR21-002 is particularly significant with 45.7 m of 2.01 g/t gold, one of the highest-grade assays encountered to date on the project.

Section 3 (Figure 4) shows results from three holes at the Jasperoid Creek target, located approximately 1.4 km north of the PEA north pit. This is an area with very little previous drilling but with highly anomalous gold values in surface samples. The prospective Joanna limestone and Pilot shale horizons outcrop at surface in the area, suggesting mineralization may be relatively shallow. Hole GR20-102 intercepted 18.3 m of 0.96 g/t gold, confirming that this target merits significant follow-up drilling.

Tim Warman, Fiore's CEO stated, "The holes to the north of the North Pit shell include some of the highest-grade intercepts we've seen at Gold Rock and highlight a very promising area that we'll return to with further drilling. To date we've completed all the planned HQ core holes and about 75% of the planned RC holes that were aimed at expanding the Gold Rock resource ahead of the Feasibility Study. We currently have gold assays in hand for all of the RC holes completed to date and are incorporating these results in an interim, in-house resource estimate that will help measure our progress and identify areas for further drilling with the remaining 25% of the planned RC holes. Results for most of the 20 HQ core holes, representing 4,667 m of drilling, are still pending although the first two holes are included in this release. We're also pleased with the results from the Jasperoid Creek target approximately 1.4 kilometres north of Gold Rock. This is an area that has seen minimal drilling, and which highlights the prospectivity of the entire Gold Rock belt, a zone of gold and pathfinder element anomalies that extends for over 15 km north and south of Gold Rock."

Work on the FS is progressing well although assay turnaround times for drill samples have been significantly longer than normal due to the impacts of COVID-19 at the assay laboratories. These delays have impacted the original schedule for the RC drilling program and in turn the overall Feasibility Study, which is now expected to be completed in the latter part of calendar Q1 of 2022. The delay in completing the FS is not expected to impact our proposed timeline for putting Gold Rock into production by early 2024.

Complete results for the fifteen RC and two HQ core holes referenced in this press release are shown in the table below.

Assay highlights are calculated with a cutoff of 0.006 opt (0.20 g/t) Au. Highlighted intervals contain less than 10 feet (3 m) of material below cutoff grade. GR-series are RC holes, GC-series are HQ core holes.

With this release, results for all the reverse circulation ("RC") holes from the most recent round of drilling are now in hand. A total of 113 RC holes representing 78,955 feet (24,065 m) of drilling were completed in 2020 and early 2021. As well, the first two of 20 HQ core holes are included in this release. Total planned footage for the drilling program to support the FS will be approximately 198,000 ft (60,000 m), with approximately 115,000 ft (35,000 m) focused on resource expansion to add Measured and Indicated resources for inclusion in the FS.

The reverse circulation (RC) drilling was performed by Boart Longyear of Salt Lake City, Utah and Alford Drilling from Elko, Nevada. All holes were drilled at angles of -50 to -90 degrees at azimuths designed to intersect targeted structures as nearly as possible to perpendicular. Consequently, all intercepts reported here are believed to be approximately true width. Drill sampling was supervised by Fiore Gold geologists, with samples transported directly to ALS Minerals Lab in Reno, Nevada where samples were prepared, and pulps generated. Fire assays were determined on a 30-gram charge with an AAS finish. An additional cyanide leach assay was also completed. Selected holes were also analyzed for a 48-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS. Fiore Gold conducts a significant QA/QC program which includes the insertion of assay standards, blanks, and duplicates in the sample stream to ensure the assay lab results are within specified performance levels. Down hole deviation surveys are provided by International Directional Services, utilizing a surface recording gyroscope, and by trained drill crews operating a north seeking gyroscope supplied by REFLEX.

Gold Rock Project and PEA Highlights

The federally permitted Gold Rock gold project ("Gold Rock", or the "Project") is located approximately 8 miles southeast of the Pan Mine in White Pine County, Nevada. The recently released Gold Rock Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") provides an updated mineral resource estimate and a base case assessment of developing the Project as a satellite open pit operation that will share significant infrastructure and management with the adjacent Pan Mine. The PEA also identifies a considerable number of opportunities to enhance the project economics as Gold Rock advances to the Feasibility stage by drilling to increase the mineral resource, further metallurgical testing aimed at optimizing recoveries, and geotechnical drilling aimed at reducing the stripping ratio. Further updates will be provided as we progress work in these areas. The PEA was prepared in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). A Technical Report with the details of the PEA is available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.

Gold Rock Mineral Resource Estimate

The Company's updated Gold Rock Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"; effective date of March 31, 2020) was completed by APEX and forms the basis for the PEA. A summary of the MRE is highlighted in the table below.

Key Assumptions, Parameters, and Methods related to the Mineral Resource Estimates:

  1. Mineral Resources were prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards (2014). Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
  2. Troy ounces per short ton ("opt") / grams per tonne ("gpt")
  3. This estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
  4. Open pit Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.003 opt/0.09 gpt gold that is based on a gold price of US$1,500/oz. A revenue price of US$1,400 is used for the base case economic model.
  5. The Mineral Resources are constrained by a pit shell with appropriate mining costs, processing costs, metal recoveries, and pit slope angles.
  6. Rounding may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade, and contained metal content.
  7. Contained gold ounces are in troy ounces.
