O3 Mining intersects 12.0 g/t Au Over 8.3m at Val D'or Alpha Project

Jan 24, 2022


"I am very excited about today's drill results which give us confidence in the continuity of gold mineralization and the potential of the Kappa Zone which extends at depth and remains open in many directions," O3 Mining's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jose Vizquerra said. " The proximity of the Kappa and Bulldog zones creates the potential for a sizeable project with robust grade, thickness, and continuity. We are eager to continue our 2022 winter drilling program where we will continue expansion drilling in the Kappa Zone through the coming months."

O3 Mining Inc. is providing an update on its fully-funded 250,000 metre drilling program at its Marban and Alpha properties in Val-d'Or which seeks to convert, expand, and discover new gold resources. The corporation is reporting results from three holes drilled on the Alpha property.

Drilling Highlights:

  • 12.4 g/t Au over 1.9 metres in hole O3AL-21-380 at a vertical depth of 53 metres in the Kappa zone; 
  • 12.0 g/t Au over 8.3 metres and 8.1 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and 35.9 g/t Au over 1.1 metres in hole O3AL-21-388 from a vertical depth of 625 metres to 663 metres in the Kappa zone which remains open at depth and laterally. 
  • 28.1 g/t Au over 0.9 metres in hole O3AL-21-391 at a vertical depth of 638 metres in the Kappa zone which remains open at depth and laterally. 

O3 Mining continues to extend gold mineralization with the potential to increase resources within trucking distance of the 1,600 tpd Aurbel Mill ("Aurbel"). On May 14, 2020, the Corporation signed an option agreement with QMX Gold Corporation (acquired by Eldorado Gold in January 2021) to acquire a 100 per cent interest in Aurbel, which is a fully permitted mining facility located 10 kilometres from O3 Mining's Alpha property.

Drilling Update

O3 Mining will progress its large-scale drilling program with 73,000 metres planned on its Alpha and Marban projects with updated health and safety procedures to keep its employees safe and mitigate COVID-19 transmission. As part of this program, the winter drilling season at Marban will focus on the Camflo deposit extension at depth. At Alpha, the focus will be put on the expansion of the Kappa and Bulldog deposits and exploration in the Omega sector. 

The Corporation has drilled 118,951 metres in 2021 on its Val-d'Or properties testing for Potential Economic Material ("PEM") with 100-metre step-outs aiming to expand current resources of 2.4 million ounces measured and indicated (62.0 Mt @ 1.22 g/t Au)1 and 1.3 million ounces inferred (19 Mt @ 2.13 g/t Au)1 and make new discoveries.
