STLLR Gold Announces Remaining Tower Gold Project Infill Drilling Results

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$STLR.TO #gold--STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF) (FSE: O9D) (“STLLR” or the “Company”) announces the final assay results from the infill and confirmatory drilling program at the 55 Zone, Westaway and Windjammer North Deposits at the Golden Highway Area (western end) of the Tower Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario, Canada.

Tower Gold Project Update:

  • 135,423 m in 511 drill holes of the 2023 infill drill program have been released.

Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, President, CEO, and Director of STLLR stated: “55 Zone infill drilling results continued to intersect higher-grade, near-surface gold mineralization. The results from the 55 Zone provided critical information that allows us to update and refine the Tower MRE block model. The Westaway and Windjammer North infill drilling results continue to confirm the Tower MRE block model. We now have collected all the data from our 2023 infill drilling program.”

Infill Drilling at 55 Zone, Westaway, and Windjammer North

The 55 Zone, Westaway and Windjammer North Deposits are located on the Golden Highway Area (western end) of the Tower Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario (See Figure 1 for the Tower Gold Project - General Location Map). Mineralization at the 55 Zone is associated with the Timiskaming age clastic sediment hosted stacked quartz veins located immediately south of the regional Banded Iron Formation “A” (“BIF A”) unit and the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone (“DPFZ”). The 55 Zone Deposit is characterized by higher-grade, open-pit mineralization located in the western most portion of the Tower Gold Project. The mineralization at the 55 Zone remains open along strike to the southwest. Mineralization at Westaway is associated with extensional and stockwork-type quartz veining within Timiskaming age meta-sediments, located between 2 major splays of the DPFZ. Mineralization at Windjammer North, located immediately south of and parallel to the regional DPFZ, is hosted primarily within altered komatiitic ultramafic rocks of the Kidd-Munro assemblage in contact with basaltic flows.

The 2023 drill program at 55 Zone, Westaway and Windjammer North were focused on confirming and infilling (50 m drill-centre spacings) the Tower Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate1 (“Tower MRE”). The results at the 55 Zone provided information that allows the Company to update the Tower MRE block model. Drill hole MGH23-500 (See Figures 2, 3, and 4) returned higher-grade mineralization at depth of the deposit, while drill holes MGH23-464 and MGH23-466 (See Figures 2 and 3) returned higher-grade mineralization closer to the surface.

The drilling results at Westaway and Windjammer North appear to confirm the continuity of mineralization as estimated by the Tower MRE block model. This is evident particularly with holes MGH23-436, MGH23-438 and MGH3-488. Overall, the 2023 infill drilling program will provide critical information to update the Tower MRE. The increased drill density has the potential to upgrade the areas drilled to a higher resource category and further define future geological models.
