TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 5, 2021 / Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") (TSX:ANX)(OTCQX:ANXGF) is pleased to announce further drill results from a completed infill drill program ("Drill Program") at its 100% owned Goldboro Gold Project in Nova Scotia, Canada ("Goldboro" or the "Project"). The Drill Program was comprised of 17,941.7 metres and was designed to convert priority Inferred Mineral Resources into Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of the Goldboro Deposit as part of the ongoing feasibility study, which recognizes the opportunity for expanded open-pit mining areas as well as underground mining opportunities.

Results from the current drilling (3,241.0 metres in 27 diamond drill holes) all reflect shallow drilling (<175 vertical metres) at the East Goldbrook Gold System ("EG Gold System") at the eastern end of the Goldboro Deposit (Exhibit A). These results demonstrate that numerous near-surface mineralized zones exist in the EG Gold System with similar geometry and location to the modelled mineral resource. In particular, the highest-grade intersections reported herein are consistent with other previously reported intervals of high-grade gold (>50.0 grams per tonne ("g/t")). A total of eleven (11) visible gold occurrences were also observed in these drill holes.

Selected composited highlights from the Drill Program include:

  • 871.23 g/t gold over 0.5 metres (52.9 to 53.4 metres) and 47.87 g/t gold over 1.5 metres (63.1 to 64.6 metres) in hole BR-20-193;
  • 20.08 g/t gold over 2.4 metres (50.6 to 53.0 metres) including 74.40 g/t gold over 0.6 metres in hole BR-20-195;
  • 4.73 g/t gold over 4.5 metres (100.0 to 104.5 metres) including 20.10 g/t gold over 1.0 metre in hole BR-20-200;
  • 3.41 g/t gold over 3.2 metres (91.8 to 95.0 metres) in hole BR-20-185;
  • 1.11 g/t gold over 7.0 metres (44.0 to 51.0 metres) in hole BR-20-187;
  • 3.17 g/t gold over 6.1 metres (114.9 to 121.0 metres) including 18.10 g/t gold over 0.7 metres in hole BR-20-215; and
  • 0.55 g/t gold over 17.9 metres (23.1 to 41.0 metres) in hole BR-20-205.

A table of selected composite intersections from the Drill Program are shown in Table 1 below.

"The infill drill results from East Goldbrook show very high-grade intercepts locally as well as broader zones of lower grade mineralization, all at levels that could conceptually be mined through open pit mining methods. Of particular interest in this round of drilling is the consistency of spectacular grades from East Goldbrook indicating there may be specific opportunities for further high-grade resource growth since this zone remains open for expansion down plunge. We will use the new data gathered in this round of infill drilling to upgrade mineral resources to the Measured and Indicated categories at East Goldbrook as part of the fully updated resource estimate anticipated in the first quarter of 2021."

~ Kevin Bullock, President and CEO, Anaconda Mining Inc.

To date, a total of 17,941.7 metres in 111 drill holes (BR-20-105 to BR-20-215) have been completed under the Drill Program, with assays from drill holes BR-20-105 to BR-20-183 previously reported in news releases dated September 3, 2020; October 5, 2020; November 11, 2020; and November 19, 2020. This release outlines the results for 3,241.0 metres in twenty-seven (27) diamond drill holes from BR-20-184 to BR-20-215 (however they exclude diamond drill holes BR-20-202, -207, -210, -211 and -213, which were drilled within the West Goldbrook Gold System ("WG Gold System")). Drill results from infill drilling in the WG Gold System will be reported once all assays from that area have been received and evaluated.

The Drill Program is funded using existing flow through funds but has also benefited from a grant received from the Government of Nova Scotia through a Mineral Resources Development Fund, shared funding exploration grant MRDF-2020-SF-035.

The Company has critically considered logistical matters given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure that this Drill Program and any other programs are executed in a way that ensures the absolute health and safety of our personnel, contractors, and the communities where we operate.

This news release has been reviewed and approved by Paul McNeill, P. Geo., VP Exploration with Anaconda Mining Inc., a "Qualified Person", under National Instrument 43-101 Standard for Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

All samples and the resultant composites referred to in this release are collected using QA/QC protocols including the regular insertion of standards and blanks within the sample batch for analysis and check assays of select samples. All samples quoted in this release were analyzed at Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, NL, for Au by fire assay (30 g) with an AA finish.

All assays in this press release are reported as fire assays only. For samples analyzing greater than 0.5 g/t Au via 30 g fire assay, these samples will be re-analyzed at Eastern Analytical Ltd. via total pulp metallics. For the total pulp metallics analysis, the entire sample is crushed to -10mesh and pulverized to 95% -150 - mesh. The total sample is then weighed and screened to 150mesh. The +150 - mesh fraction is fire assayed for Au, and a 30 g subsample of the -150 - mesh fraction analyzed via fire assay. A weighted average gold grade is calculated for the final reportable gold grade. Total pulp metallics assays for drillholes sited within this press release will be updated in a future news release.

Reported mineralized intervals are measured from core lengths. Intervals are estimated to be approximately 70-100% of true widths.

A version of this press release will be available in French on Anaconda's website (www.anacondamining.com) in two to three business days.
