VANCOUVER, BC, April 26,
2023 /CNW/ - Elevation Gold Mining Corporation
(TSXV: ELVT) (OTCQX: EVGDF) (the "Company" or "Elevation Gold") is
pleased to report assay results for four reverse circulation ("RC")
holes that were drilled in the Reynolds Pit area, including
AR23-662R, which intersected 225.6 meters of nearly continuous gold
mineralization with an average grade of 0.56 g/T gold, with several
higher grade internal zones highlighted by 12.2 meters grading at
1.30 g/T gold.
Highlights
- AR23-662R, collared 80.5 meters northeast of AR22-656R
(previously reported), on a line 37.5 meters east of AR22-656R (see
Figure 1 for collar locations).
- AR22-656R intersected 108.2 meters grading 0.36 g/T Au and 2.94
g/T Ag (see press release dated March 16,
2023).
- AR23-662R intersected 225.6 meters with an average grade of
0.56 g/T Au and 2.77 g/T Ag (see Figure 2 for cross section
displaying down hole gold grades).
- Assay results are pending for AR23-663R which was collared
approximately 87.2 meters southeast of AR23-662R on a line 62.5
meters east of AR23 (see Figure 1 for collar location).
Tim Swendseid, Chief Executive
Officer of Elevation Gold stated: "The outstanding intercept of
hole AR23-662R practically speaks for itself, and I'll only add
that the average grade of the intercept is 24% higher than our
reserve grade of 0.45 g/t and is in an area already fully permitted
for mining! My hearty congratulations to our Chief Geologist, Mr.
Christopher White, for drilling in a
southerly direction and finding an unexpected mineralized
zone."
Ron Kieckbusch, exploration
geologist and consultant to the Company added: "These results
clearly show the value of continued near-mine exploration".
Reynolds Pit Area
Assay results for four RC holes drilled on two lines in the
Reynolds pit area are reported in this press release (Figure 1
shows collar locations). Three of the holes were drilled to the
north-northeast into the Moss vein and associated structures. All
three intersected gold and silver mineralization. The fourth hole
(AR23-662R) was drilled to the south-southwest into the newly
identified north-dipping structures. AR23-662R intersected 225.6
meters of nearly continuous gold and silver mineralization with an
average grade of 0.56 g/T Au and 2.77 g/T Ag. Figure 2 displays a
cross section through the area with downhole gold grades
displayed.
AR23-662R was drilled on an azimuth of 188 degrees with a dip of
-39 degrees and a total depth of 274.3 meters. It was drilled to
test a series of surface quartz vein and stockworks surface
outcrops displaying a northerly dip, conjugate to and beginning
approximately 120 meters south of the Moss vein system. Variable
amounts of free quartz with very low pyrite content were identified
and logged in the RC chips during drilling, signifying the presence
of a structure hosting a low-sulfide, epithermal stockworks and
vein system. Assay results have verified that AR23-662R intersected
a significant gold and silver bearing system (Table 1 and Figure
2).

Note:

True thickness of the
grade intersections reported in this press release should be 80-95%
of apparent thickness. Although true thickness of the
stockwork system between the Moss and Ruth Veins is generally
difficult to assess due to the variably oriented multiple veins and
veinlets that make up this zone, stockwork mineralization
intersections reported for angled drillholes in the table above are
considered reflective of the broader bulk tonnage mineralization
target zone thickness. Assay data are uncapped. AuEq = Au + Ag/75.
RC drilling was conducted by Boart Longyear. RC samples, collected
every 1.52 m, were transported in sealed bags to Skyline Assayers
and Laboratories (Skyline) in Tucson, AZ. Field control QAQC
samples, including standards, blanks, and field duplicates, were
inserted into the sample stream at a rate of three field control
samples every 20 regular samples. Gold was determined by fire-assay
fusion of 30 g sub-samples with atomic absorption spectroscopy
(method FA-01). Overlimit samples of gold were assayed by
gravimetric means (FA-02). Skyline Laboratories is accredited in
accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015.

AR23-662R is one of three RC holes across three lines drilled
over an apparent strike length of approximately 104.2 meters to
test the north dipping structures. AR22-656R, which also
intersected significant gold and silver mineralization, was drilled
on a line approximately 37.5 meters west of AR23-662R. Results for
RC hole AR22-656R were reported on March 16,
2023, highlighted by 108.2 meters grading at 0.36 g/T Au and
2.94 g/T Ag. The third hole drilled to test the north dipping
structures is AR23-663R. It was drilled on a line approximately
62.5 meters east of AR23-662R. RC chips logged from AR23-663R also
display variable amounts of free quartz with very little pyrite.
Assay results for AR23-663R are expected in early May. Only
approximately 1/3 of the potential strike length of the potential
north dipping structures have been tested, and the untested strike
length extends to both the east and west of the tested strike
length (Figure 3).
