Vancouver, BC – May 2, 2022 – Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) (“Getchell” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the 2022 drill program at the Fondaway Canyon gold project in Nevada has commenced.
Key Highlights
- 2022 drill program at Fondaway Canyon is initially following up on last year’s high-grade gold discovery reporting 10.4 g/t Au over 25.0m within a broader zone grading 6.3 g/t Au over 50.7m;
- The broader drill plan is to continue expanding on the substantive zones of mineralization discovered during the previous two years of drilling; and
- The Central Area zone of gold mineralization has been traced 600m along strike and 800m down dip from surface and remains open in most directions.
“The last drill hole of 2021 far exceeded expectations, reporting our best gold intercept to date and likely represents a newly-discovered highly-mineralized structural zone.” states Mike Sieb, President, Getchell Gold Corp. “I look forward with great anticipation to the first series of drill holes that will be bracketing this zone.”
2022 Drill Program
The Company has secured two drill rigs for 2022. The first rig has commenced drilling at the Fondaway Canyon gold project while the second rig is scheduled to commence a maiden drill program at the Star high-grade Cu-Au-Ag project situated 60 km to the north in two to three weeks.
