GGL Resources Corp. announced that it has commenced an underground exploration and drilling program at its road-accessible Gold Point Project in the Walker Lane Trend of Western Nevada. The previously announced reverse circulation drilling program has been upgraded and will now be completed using a core drill.

This portion of the program will consist of a fence of five diamond drill holes, totaling approximately 1500 m. The holes will be drilled along a 525 m section line that extends through three of the past-producing veins (Great Western, Grand Central and Hornsilver) and other nearby targets that GGL has identified in recent years by prospecting and soil geochemistry. Drilling will evaluate both high-grade and bulk tonnage potential related to multiple, closely spaced veins that are bisected by the section line. The section line will also cross linear gold-in-soil anomalies that are attributed to veins, and a broad zone of elevated soil values that has not been explained by surface exploration.

One of the 2022 drill holes will test the Great Western Vein along strike of hole GP-21-012, which intersected 2.22 g/t gold over 12.19 m, including 5.17 g/t gold over 4.57 m. This intersection lies 80 m north-west of the limit of the underground workings and the section line crosses the projection of the structure 75 m further to the north-west. The Company has engaged an underground mining contractor to complete the rehabilitation of shafts at the Orleans Mine, the largest of four former producers on the Gold Point Property. Work shall commence in late-October and will focus on the Orleans and Dunfee shafts.

Once safe access is established, mapping and sampling will be completed throughout all accessible portions of the mine.
