Evolving Gold Continues to Hit High Grade at CarliEvolving Gold Continues to Hit High Grade at Carlin: 17.2 Meters at 9.85 Grams Per Tonne Gold Includes 4.7 Meters at 23.46 Grams Per Tonne Gold
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 4, 2012) - Evolving Gold Corp. (EVG.TO) (EV7.F) (EVOGF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce further high grade gold intercepts from drilling at its Carlin-Humboldt project, Nevada, including 17.2 meters at 9.85 grams per ton (gpt) gold (56.4 feet at 0.288 oz per tonne (opt) gold) in diamond wedge hole CAR-016.1.1. This interval includes 4.7 meters at 23.46 gpt gold (15.4 feet at 0.685 opt gold), which includes 1.2 meters at 37.00 gpt gold (3.9 feet at 1.081 opt gold). Additional significant intervals in this hole include 9.1 meters at 4.06 gpt gold (29.8 feet at 0.119 opt gold), 6.1 meters at 6.26 gpt gold (20.0 feet at 0.183 opt gold) and 1.8 meters at 16.67 gpt gold (5.9 feet at 0.487 opt gold).
"We are very pleased that our latest drilling confirms the presence of a thick zone of high grade gold mineralization at our Carlin-Humboldt project in Nevada," comments R. Bruce Duncan, CEO of Evolving Gold. "Our drilling continues to demonstrate thick intervals of high grade gold at depths and grades similar to or better than deposits already subject to underground mining elsewhere in the Carlin trend. We plan to continue to define this high grade gold system with additional drilling in 2012."
Hole CAR-016.1.1 is a wedge core hole drilled from CAR-016.1 (please see attached map and sections). The high grade intervals reported in CAR-016.1.1 are located approximately 18 meters north of similar mineralization encountered in CAR-016.1 (announced in a press release dated July 11, 2012). Depth to the top of mineralization (873.2 meters) is almost identical to CAR-016.1 (870.7 meters) and hole CAR-010 (879.8 meters) about 70 meters southwest of CAR016.1.1. This relationship indicates a potential for this high grade gold zone to be shallowly dipping and be nearly flat-lying. The high grade gold zone is open to the north, east and southeast. This hole is still in progress and assays are pending for intervals 2220-2723 and 3235 to 4085.
Core hole CAR-019, approximately 70 meters north/northeast of hole CAR-016.1, targeted extensions of the high grade gold mineralization and intersected a thick zone of highly altered sedimentary and igneous rocks, including lamprophyre and locally high arsenic values (greater than 1000 ppm). CAR-019 appears to pierce a low grade portion or margin of this high grade gold system, returning a long interval anomalous gold mineralization, (108.8 meters at 0.42 gpt gold or 356.9 feet at 0.012 opt gold).
Core hole CAR-020 is currently underway and is designed to test extensions to high grade gold intervals seen in CAR-002, and the subsequent wedges from CAR-002. The hole is collared 40 meters northwest of CAR-002 and the drill trace is trending east/northeast. The geological sequence has been consistent with what we expect from CAR-002 and assays are pending.
These positive results which continue to establish volume to our high grade gold intervals strongly influence drill targeting. With these results in mind we have put in place another pre-collar 50 Meters east/southeast of CAR-016 and are preparing to set wedges from CAR-016 and CAR-019 to continue to test mineralization expanding around the CAR-010 through CAR-016 mineralized area and to the north, east and southeast. The placement of the new pre-collar will also allow maximum coverage for wedges testing the east and south eastern extents of the currently identified zone of mineralization.
