TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — G2 Goldfields Inc. (“G2” or the “Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing exploration program at the Company’s 58,000-acre OKO-Aremu gold project, Guyana. G2 currently has six rigs operating at the project, building on the Company’s current mineral resource which is comprised of 922,00 ounces of gold (Indicated) and 1,099,000 ounces (Inferred) [see press release dated April 03, 2024]. G2 continues to expand and define existing gold zones whilst discovering new high grade parallel zones of gold mineralization. The Company intends to issue an updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the OKO project in Q1 of 2025.

Subsequent to the April 3^rd MRE, to date G2 has completed an additional 124 holes totalling 42,853 meters. This drilling campaign has led to the discovery of new zones of gold mineralization along strike and down plunge of the previously defined resource [see press release of September 03, 2024]. One of the more promising new discoveries was announced on September 03, 2024. It described a new mineralized structure starting from near surface and running parallel to the central Ghanie zone. Select intercepts from the initial discovery are highlighted in Table 1.

Subsequent drilling has encountered the most expansive zone of gold mineralization discovered to date at Ghanie and has extended mineralization a further 200m down plunge. Highlights from the latest eighteen drill holes are tabulated in Table 2 below.

The intercepts reported are down-hole widths. True widths are estimated between 75% and 85% of reported down-hole widths. Gold grades are uncapped.

A complete table of drill results is available here.

QA/QC

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located on the OKO project site, Guyana. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to MSALABS Guyana, in Georgetown, Guyana, which is an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. Samples from sections of core with obvious gold mineralisation are analysed for total gold using an industry-standard 500g metallic screen fire assay (MSALABS method MSC 550). All other samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA with atomic absorption finish (MSALABS method; FAS- 121). Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard fire assay gravimetric methods (MSALABS method; FAS-425). Certified gold reference standards, blanks, and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of G2 Goldfields’ quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported herein.

In April 2024, G2 announced an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Oko property in Guyana [see press release dated April 03, 2024]. Highlights of the Updated MRE include:

Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Oko Main Zone (OMZ):

• 495,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 2,413,000 tonnes @ 6.38 g/t Au
• 686,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 2,368,000 tonnes @ 9.03 g/t Au

Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Ghanie Zone:

• 604,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 12,216,000 tonnes @ 1.54 g/t Au
• 236,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 3,344,000 tonnes @ 2.20 g/t Au

The MRE was prepared by Micon International Limited with an effective date of March 27, 2024. Significantly, the updated mineral resources lie within 500 meters of surface. The Oko district has been a prolific alluvial goldfield since its initial discovery in the 1870s, and modern exploration techniques continue to reveal the considerable potential of the district.
