Grondin Bulk Vein
Beauce Gold Fields Team No Comments

Montreal, Quebec — Beauce Gold Fields (Champs D’Or en Beauce) (TSXV: ¨BGF¨), (“BGF”): (“BGF” or the “Company”), referred to as “BGF” or the “Company,” is pleased to announce the results of the analysis of a preconcentrate sample, recovered from a bulk sample of fractured stockwork quartz vein from the Grondin antiform outcrop, on the Company’s Beauce gold property, located in the Beauce region of southern Quebec. The analysis returned 5.61 grams per ton of gold.

Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields, stated: “Apart from the coarse gold grains, this demonstrates that non-visible gold mineralization may play an important role in the anticline (Saddle Reef type) structures. This structure holds significant promise for further lode gold discoveries.”

A 500-gram sample was randomly taken from one of the 20-litre buckets of preconcentrates. The preconcentrates were derived from loose fragments smaller than 10 cm, recovered using a mobile placer plant equipped with a trommel and sluice box. The placer plant processed a 30-ton bulk sample of heavily fractured stockwork featuring a milky white quartz vein several meters wide, interspersed with pockets of sulfide-rich material along shear planes of blocks of lapilli tuffs (BGF press release 2023-08-22) taken from the Grondin antiform outcrop.

The preconcentrates sent for analysis contained no visible gold grains. However, over 18 visible and sharply angular grains of gold from a final concentrate were previously extracted from the preconcentrates (BGF press release 2024-03-20). SEM analysis on several of these gold grains indicated that they contained an average of 85.05% gold (Au) and 14.74% silver (Ag), with the fineness of the gold grains (calculated as 1000 ⨉ Au / (Au + Ag)) ranging between 820 and 870 (BGF press release 2024-06-13).

The Grondin outcrop is located above drill hole GR 23-01, which the company drilled in 2023 (BGF press releases, November 1, 2023, and January 18, 2024). The drill hole crossed the entire length of the mineralized zone over 36 meters, intersecting three gold zones between 11 and 24 meters. All areas are associated with stockworks that contain varying levels of sulfides. The mineralized zones are strongly affected by significant deformation, led to significant core loss, especially towards the end of the drilling process. One of the intersected zones showed a notable grade of 5.4 g/t Au over 2.2 meters.

The outcrop is within the Grondin gold zone, a mineralized structure that follows the crest of an anticline fold (Saddle Reef type) and extends along strike for eight kilometers. Cumulative exploration data suggest that Saddle Reef-type formations are the likely bedrock sources of the company’s historical placer gold deposits.

QA/QC procedures for the reported preconcentrate sample include Certified Reference Materials from MSALABS of Val-d’Or, Quebec, Test Certificate YVO2411180. Standards and blanks were inserted into the sequence of samples on-site as part of quality assurance and quality control. MSALABS is an ISO-17025 accredited laboratory for the photon assay method.
