HALIFAX, Jan. 7, 2020 /CNW/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to release the assay results from 5 new diamond drill holes at the Los Ricos project including 3 holes along the northern side of the Main stopes and 2 holes testing the southern extension of the Main area past the historical stopes.

Hole LRGG-19-079 was drilled to test about 25m past the north end of the historical stope on Section 500N. The hole intersected the Los Ricos quartz vein from 128.2 to 144.7m and averaged 8.77 g/t gold equivalent or 657.8 g/t silver equivalent, made up of 4.29 g/t gold and 335.8 g/t silver over 16.5 metres. Two higher grade intervals of 4.8m averaging 14.3 g/t gold equivalent and 6.2m averaging 11.0 g/t gold equivalent are included in the interval. No historical workings were encountered in this hole.

Hole LRGG-19-081 was drilled on Section 500N approximately 50m down dip of hole LRGG-19-079 and intersected 17.4m of quartz vein from 189.7 to 207.1m averaging 2.80 g/t gold equivalent or 209.8 g/t silver equivalent, including 6.1m of 7.05 g/t gold equivalent. No historical workings were encountered in the hole.

Hole LRGG-19-080 was drilled on Section 500N approximately 100m down dip of hole LRGG-19-081 and intersected two sections of the Los Ricos quartz vein. The upper intersection extended from 274.3 to 279.5m and averaged 2.01 gold equivalent over 5.2m. The hole passed through several sections of gouge and faulted ground and cut a second interval of the Los Ricos vein from 325.5 to 342.0m. Three metres of backfilled mine workings were cut in this portion of the vein. The 13.5m interval of intact core averaged 3.73 g/t gold equivalent consisting of 0.87 g/t gold and 214.8 g/t silver.

"We've drilled over 17,000m to date on the project, and continue to see wide zones of high-grade silver and gold mineralization in the Los Ricos vein, such as those in hole 79 which has potential to be a bulk mining target," said Brad Langille, President and CEO.

Holes LRGG-19-078 and 082 were drilled to test the strike extension of the Los Ricos vein past the southern end of the historical stopes.  Hole LRGG-19-078 cut 22.0m of the Los Ricos vein from 178.2 to 200.1m and averaged 0.22 g/t gold, 59.9 g/t silver and 1.01 g/t gold equivalent. No workings were cut in the hole. 

Hole LRGG-19-082 cut 26.9m of the Los Ricos vein from 169.7 to 196.6m but encountered 3.4m of backfilled mine workings. The 23.5m interval of intact core averaged 2.63 g/t gold equivalent consisting of 0.79 g/t gold and 137.8 g/t silver.

In 2019, GoGold completed 112 diamond drill holes totaling 17,373m of HQ size diamond drill core since starting the Los Ricos drilling program in March 2019. The majority of the holes (92) and metres were drilled at the Main area. Twenty short holes were drilled on the Cerro Colorado deposit. The drilling program resumes this week and will continue to test the strike and depth extensions of the Main area and other targets on the property.

Detailed intersections are listed in Table 1, and the hole locations are shown in Table 2.

The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work. 

The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ActLabs facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are assayed for gold using a 50-gram charge by fire assay (Code 1A2-50) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 1A3-50). Silver and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code 1F2 Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV Ag).

Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification
Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data. All results stated in this announcement have passed GoGold's QA/QC protocols.
