ALG Algold Resources Ltd

MONTREAL, Sept. 14, 2016  /CNW Telbec/ -ALGOLD RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: ALG) – (the "Corporation") today announced more results from its Phase I 10,000-meter drilling campaign carried out on the Corporation's Tijirit property ("Tijirit") in Mauritania. New results continue to validate the potential of a significant 3.1-kilometer strike gold zone and indicate that the northern part of the Eleonore Zone appears to hold a very rich gold system dominated by at least one major quartz vein hosting significant visible gold, which remains open in all directions.

Highlights

• Hole T16RC071 - 6 m @ 39.85 g/t Au, including 2 m @ 112 g/t Au, is situated in the northern area of Eleonore, 100 m NNE and on strike of hole T16RC024 (6 m @ 4.23 g/t Au - referenced in Algold's press release dated August 16, 2016). (Figure 1)
• Hole T16RC069 - 3 m @ 2.03 g/t Au is located under T16RC024 (6 m @ 4.23 g/t Au) indicating a possible "pinch and swell" of the vein.
• Hole T16RC072, situated between hole T16RC024 and T16RC070, intersected two zones of gold mineralization, 4 m @ 1.35 g/t Au and 2 m @ 1.94 g/t Au, thus further indicating at least two vein systems.
• Discovery hole T16RC083, intersected 2 m @ 5.47 g/t Au 10 km south of Lily, in a new area hosting an outcropping quartz vein with visible gold.

This round of drilling identified three coherent gold zones in which a minimum of two to three gold bearing quartz veins have been developed in an "en echelon-type structure" between two major structural features identified from satellite imagery. All three sectors of the Eleonore gold zone are still open in all directions, with extensions currently being drill tested. Algold is now in receipt of approximately 80% of the outstanding assay results from its Phase I drilling program.

Detailed geological descriptions of all mineralized zones can be found on Algold's website (www.algold.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) in the report entitled "Algold 43-101 Technical Report: Tijirit Maiden Mineral Resources Estimates for the Tijirit Gold Project in Mauritania".

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Analytical work for geochemical samples and rock chip samples is being carried out at the independent ALS Laboratories Ltd. in Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland, an ISO 17025 (2005) Certified Laboratory. Samples are stored at the Corporation's field camps and put into sealed bags until delivered by a geologist to the ALS preparation laboratory in Nouakchott, Mauritania, where samples are sieved and prepared for shipping. Until the end of 2015, samples were analysed at ALS facility in Bamako, Mali. Since early 2016, samples are analysed at the ALS in Ireland. Samples are logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and finely crushed to better than 70%, passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of up to 1,000 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85%, passing a 75 micron (Tyler 200 mesh) screen, and a 50-gram split is analysed by fire assay with an AA finish. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference material (standards) are being used to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis.
