  • - 3000m drill program well underway

    - First drill hole recently completed on the Newman Todd Structure since 2013

  • - New exploration model to guide current program; focus on targeting high grade infill sections, parallel structures, and depth extensions

    - Metallurgical hole to test continuity of mineralization within the hole and for met test work.

    - 41% of the 166 historic drill holes include intervals of > 20 g/t Au over various lengths

    - Over 55,000 meters of historical drilling into Newman Todd prior to 2013

  

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - TheNewswire - July 29, 2020 - Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV:TGM) (“Trillium” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce that it has completed a detailed targeting program with our exploration team and technical advisors which have extensive geological backgrounds within the Red Lake Mining Camp. The program involved integrating all of the historical geologic, geochemical, geophysical and drilling data to develop a better understanding of the controls and distribution of gold associated within the Newman Todd Structural-Stratigraphic Zone on  Trillium’s property holdings in the Red Lake camp.

Russell Starr, President and CEO states, “This is a very exciting time for all Trillium shareholders as we begin a revitilized exploration program on the underexplored Newman Todd project. Newman Todd has historically delivered consistent high-grade drill intersections in the past. With our new technical team and better understanding of the Newman Todd structure and mineralized controls, we hope to deliver tremendous value to shareholders in the near future.”

     

Gold mineralization on the property is historically recognized to be associated with the Newman Todd Zone (“NTZ”), a 200m wide structural-stratigraphic feature that trends northeasterly on the Trillium property for about 2.2 kms and dips steeply to the southeast. Most drilling to date has focused on testing the NTZ by collaring in the footwall and drilling to the southeast, potentially undercutting much of the target zone. With the new understanding of the key structures and controls on mineralization, we will drill to confirm continuity among historic high grade intersections with a greater degree of confidence. Historic drilling has always intersected high-grade gold when drilling the NTZ. An indication of the high-grade potential of the NTZ is indicated by 41% of the 166 historic drill holes include intervals of > 20 g/t Au over various lengths. In addition, nearly all drilling has been to depths less than 400m. Drilling prior to 2013 consisted of more than 55,000m of core.

 

Some of the historical intersections of note are below:

The new exploration model considers, weighs and integrates previous drilling results with structural analysis from surface mapping and core evaluation, analysis of geophysical survey results and places these interpretations into a three-dimensional framework to visualize components that are key to projecting known ore shoots as well as presenting opportunities for the discovery of new gold zones.

Based on this effort, it is recognized that gold mineralization appears to show a preference for concentrating as high grade shoots developed at the intersection of the axes of folds that are parasitic to an important ENE trending F2 regional fold, together with NNW trending cross structures or shears. A second order control on gold distribution appears to be related to a previously unrecognized, nearly horizontal structural feature that is interpreted to be flat fault or axis of a recumbent fold.

An initial 3,000m drilling program is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of these new geologic interpretations to unlock the NTZ as well as other potential parallel zones.
