April 7, 2021 / Vancouver, BC / Gold Port Corporation CSE: GPO (the “Company”) is providing a corporate update.
Groete Gold Copper Project Drill Program
Camp expansion at the Company owned Groete Gold Copper Project, located in Guyana, has been completed and the work site is now prepared for a Phase I Drill Program. All planned drill holes have been located and confirmed to be accessible. No planned drill holes are within existing mining pits. Management is reviewing several drilling proposals, and interviewing potential key staff members.
The project was last explored in 2012, which included a drill program that allowed the calculation of an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.57 million gold copper equivalent ounces within 74 million tonnes, at a grade of 0.66 grams per tonne gold copper equivalent. A cutoff grade of 0.25 gold copper ounce per tonne equivalent, a gold price of $ U.S. 1,275 and copper price of $ 3.00 per pound was used in the calculation of the Inferred Mineral Resource.
The objective of the follow up drill program will be to potentially enhance the known resource from inferred to measured and indicated, and to also expand the deposit size. The first phase of the program is anticipated to include 2,500 meters totaling 12 holes.
Mr. William Feyerabend, a Consulting Geologist and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, participated in the writing of, and has reviewed and approves of the technical disclosure contained in this press release.
