TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G2 Goldfields Inc. (“G2” or the “Company”) (TSXV: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) announces the mobilization of two additional drill rigs to the Company’s high-grade OKO-AREMU project, bringing the operational capacity to five rigs. The Company has drilled 325 holes totalling 73,980 metres to date, primarily in the Oko Main Zone (OMZ) and the Ghanie district. The expanded drill program will give the Company the capacity to drill approximately 6000 metres per month encompassing the following objectives:
- the continued expansion and delineation of the OMZ to vertical depths of 700m
- further exploration of the Ghanie district where recent results include 37.9 g/t over 11m from a vertical depth of approximately 148 metres [see press release dated October 10, 2023]
- initial drilling at the OKO Northwest target where recent trenching has returned highly encouraging values
New Discovery at OKO – Northwest
To date, G2 has completed 44 trenches totalling 4,782 metres at OKO N.W. located approximately two kilometres northwest of the OMZ (see Figure 1). A considerable volume of near surface oxidized material has been mined in this area, as evidenced by satellite imagery and ground reconnaissance.
Figure 1
Highlights of the latest trenching results are inclusive of 3.1 g/t over 10 metres and 1.2 g/t over 23 metres. Although geologically complex, the OKO N.W. target appears to hold considerable potential to host both near surface oxidized gold mineralization, amenable to open-pit mining, as well as high grade stockworks which may have significant depth potential.
Corporate Reorganization
G2 intends to distribute its non-core assets to shareholders by way of a stock dividend in Q1 2024. These non-core assets will include the Company’s holdings in the Puruni district. The new company will be known as G3 Gold Inc. and the Company intends to list the shares for trading on a Canadian stock exchange. Further information on G3 Gold, including the record date for distribution, will be made available in the near future.
