Goldseek Announces Beschefer Central Drilling Visual Observations



Highlights:

All holes have intersected the B14 gold-bearing shear zone between 150 and 250 metres deep using varied spacing between historical holes and newly drilled targets. The objective sought by this program is to validate high-grade intervals obtained historically, infill drilling on the gold zones and target the expansion of the modelled lenses.

Goldseek's President & CEO Jon Deluce states, "We are excited to be hitting the targeted mineralization in all holes, which is a testament to the continuity of the gold system. The accumulation of consistent results observed combined with the success of our 2021 program supports our view of the project being at a near-resource stage.

Samples have started going into the lab, and first batches will be released in April. Drilling will be finished shortly, and upon release of results, we will finalize plans for a follow-up summer drill program."

Visual Intercept Highlights:

The alteration and mineralized system are multi-phased and vary from hole to hole, taking the form of a heterogenous banding affected by late-tectonic fracturing and brecciation. Generally, shearing evidence coincides with a strong chlorite and carbonate alteration. Sericite, ankerite and pervasive feldspathization occurs at the core of the structure split in metric lenses interlayered with chlorite-sericite intervals.

The sulfide mineralization is composed of a different generation of pyrite in association with secondary magnetite and local chalcopyrite. The volume of pyrite varies continuously over the structures, anywhere between 3% and 10% locally, correlated with the shear deformation.

The following observations were made as indications of the B14 gold zone, but they are by no means correlated with gold grades at this stage. The holes are summarized following a north-east progression:

BE-22-15: Observations show this hole corresponds to the transition going westward within an intrusive environment. In the hanging wall of the gold zone, a porphyritic diorite affected by fracturing, quartz-sericite alteration and quartz-filled stockwork was cut from surface down to 220 metres(m), while the B14 structure was observed over 16.2m, from 257.8 to 274m.

BE-22-18A: A strongly sericite altered sequence of intermediate and felsic volcanic was encountered, hosting local copper sulfide stringers and veins over metric intervals. The B14 structure was intercepted over 31 metres from 190 to 221.25m, generally pyritized, locally affected by strong tectonic brecciation hosting finely crystallized pyrite.

BE-22-28: The B14 structure was observed over 12.5 metres. Inside this zone, a strong albite - carbonate - sericite alteration associated with tectonic brecciation and pyritization was observed over approximately five metres toward the footwall.
