WARRIOR GOLD DRILLING
Recent drill programs by Warrior Gold on the Goodfish-Kirana property in Kirkland Lake, Ontario:
FALL 2021 DRILL PROGRAM
The program focused on the Jo Zone (Formerly A zone) (8 drill holes, 2,838 m) with the objective to drill-test the extension of the Jo Zone at depth and along strike.
Program Highlights:
-
Drilling on the west side of the Jo Zone has extended mineralization 100 metres down dip and confirmed the continuity of a high grade trend and integrity of the geology model. The Jo Zone remains open to the west and at depth.
-
Drill holes GK21-049 and GK21-050 intersected high grade gold in addition to visible gold in the quartz veins immediately to the north of the Jo Zone in the hanging wall of the structure.
JANUARY 2021 DRILL PROGRAM
The program focused on the Jo Zone (11 drill holes, 2,866 m) and Mel Zone (Formerly C zone) (one hole, 180 m), for a total of 12 diamond drill holes and a 40-metre extension to GK20-032 (totalling 3,066 m).
Program Highlights:
-
The continued intersection of significant gold in the Jo Zone and Mel Zone
-
Jo Zone structure was extended an additional 300 m for a total strike length of 650 m
-
Mineralization at Jo Zone remains open at depth

JULY 2020 DRILL PROGRAM
Program Highlights:
-
Nine-hole diamond drilling program (2,895 m) including seven drill holes at the Jo Zone (2,448 m), two drill holes at the Mel Zone (447 m).
-
Mineralization at the Jo Zone has been extended 50 m to the east, 100 m to the west, and 100 m down-dip confirming the continuity of the geological structure and the integrity of the geological model. The zone remains open in all directions.
-
GK20-028 intersected new high-grade, north-south trending quartz-carbonate veining that returned 6.7 g/t Au over 7.4 m (within 1.22 g/t Au over 74 m, with visible gold (“VG”)); Jo Zone NS-FW.
-
New orientation for the Mel Zone mineralization confirmed.
Gold was intersected in nine of ten drill holes, expanding the extent of known gold mineralization. In addition, new high-grade intervals south of the Jo Zone have been discovered. Selected highlighted assay results from the Fall 2019 drill program are provided in the press release
OCTOBER 2019 DRILL PROGRAM
Program Highlights:
-
Jo Zone diamond drilling program of 10 drill holes (2,106 m) at Goodfish-Kirana project.
-
Mineralized zone has been extended 100 m to the east, extended 50 m to the west and remains open in both directions and at depth.
-
Drilling intersected new high grades in a subparallel shear zone in the footwall at shallow depth.
-
Continuity of geological structure and model confirmed.
Gold was intersected in nine of ten drill holes, expanding the extent of known gold mineralization. In addition, new high-grade intervals south of the Jo Zone have been discovered. Selected highlighted assay results from the Fall 2019 drill program are provided in the table below.
MARCH 2019 DRILL PROGRAM
Program Highlights:
-
Diamond drilling program of 15 drill holes (2,218 m) at the Jo and Mel Zones.
-
Numerous significant gold assays obtained.
-
Repetition of historical high-grade assays achieved.
-
Confirmation of geological model.
The drilling program was designed to validate the historic drill results, to gain an understanding of the mineralization controls as well as to test strike length and the depth of mineralization.
MARCH 2018 DRILL PROGRAM
Program Highlights:
-
Diamond drilling program of 5 holes (610 m).
-
All holes intersected mineralization which is, in general, structurally associated with the contacts of Quartz Feldspar Porphyry dykes that are sheared. For the most part, the mineralization is associated with pyrite which is indicated by IP anomalies.
-
The Goodfish Jo Zone/ Goodfish 1934 Mine returned the most interesting values of 1.20 g/t Au over 10.53 m in a halo of 0.87 g/t Au over 16.0 m.
The structurally orientated drilling program was designed to test three of the four structural zones identified by previous work. These holes were designed to verify and interpret the structure, lithology and pathfinder elements of the following gold-bearing zones on the Goodfish property
