Independence Gold Corp. announced the complete final assay results from the Mint Vein System which was drilled as part of the fall drilling program at its 100% owned 3Ts Project. This vein system, along with the Ted and Tommy vein systems, has been tested under previous drill programs with results having contributed to the 2022 inferred resource as outlined in "Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the 3Ts Gold Project, Om ineca Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada".

Drilling at the Mint Vein System was designed to test key areas for additional assay data to contribute to a future update of the inferred resource. Each of the drill holes targeted the central or southern extent of the Mint Vein System and confirmed the results expected from a typical geochemical zonation that occurs in epithermal quartz veins, where gold grade gradually decreases and silver grade increases.

The true widths of the veins are approximately 85% of the reported interval width. Estimated metallurgical recovery of 97.9% for gold and 95.5% silver as determined from limited testing on composite materials from the Mint Vein and the NI 43-101 Technical Report ("Technical Report on the Mineral resource Estimate Update for the 3 Ts Gold Project, Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia,Canada" by Armitage & Millar, effective January 16th, 2024. Update on the Exploration Program.

The fall drill program was completed on November 15th, 2023, with a total of 1,805m of drilling carried out. Drilling primarily targeted the Mint Vein System with additional drill testing of the new Johnny and Ian Veins and "first-pass" exploration of the new Ootsa copper-silver target. Planning is currently underway for an approximately 5,000m drill program to commence during the first quarter of 2024.

All drill holes completed to date have been sent to SGS lab in Vancouver for sample preparation and analysis.
