VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 29, 2023 / SNOWLINE GOLD CORP (TSX-V:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to provide a summary of key activities and achievements over the past calendar year. The scale and strength of the Valley gold target on the Company's Rogue Project has quickly come into focus on the back of a safe, productive and efficient 16,000 m drill program at Valley, with clear upside potential both at the target level and the regional scale. All five of five Phase I drill programs completed by the Company in this district on five different targets to date have hit instances of visible gold and zones of anomalous gold mineralization, demonstrating widespread regional fertility. In total, the Company drilled 22,000 m in 2023 across 6 targets. Extensive surface exploration has advanced additional untested targets and led to the identification of new targets. With more than $35M in the treasury, the Company is well positioned for an active and rigorous exploration campaign in 2024 on its >330,000 ha land position in the fertile Selwyn Basin.
Snowline's top 5 highlights from 2023:
"Our work in 2023 highlights the unique nature of the gold discovery at the Valley target on our Rogue Project," said Scott Berdahl, CEO & Director of Snowline. "The remarkable consistency and continuity of strong gold values at Valley across hundreds of meters of length, width and depth beginning from surface-with clean, non-refractory mineralization-makes not just for an exciting discovery story, but for a special asset with hallmarks of a system capable of delivering sustainable value to shareholders and to local economies for decades to come. Additional surface work and drilling on other targets suggest strong regional fertility across much of our >3,300 km2 property portfolio and the potential for Valley-style mineralization at multiple other targets within the Rogue Plutonic Complex. I would like to congratulate our entire team on an incredible year, and to thank our investors, service providers, suppliers, consultants and partners who have made this possible and who continue to support us as we advance our targets and grow as a company."
Additional highlights from 2023 include:
2024 EXPLORATION PLANS
With a strong treasury, three diamond drills parked on site at Valley and plans to mobilize a fourth drill, Snowline is looking forward to another highly active exploration season in 2024. Through the year, the Company will adhere to its commitment to safe, environmentally sound, and socially responsible exploration, building on its economic engagement within the Yukon and further strengthening lines of communication, engagement and collaboration with First Nations and Yukon communities.
The scale and nature of the 2024 program will be finalized early in the coming year, but the program will have two primary objectives: 1) to advance the Rogue Project's Valley target, which remains open, both through exploration and through a push towards collecting requisite information for economic assessment and rigorous baseline with a focus on future advanced permitting, and 2) to follow up on promising results from other targets on Rogue and on the Company's surrounding property positions with the goal of establishing a new gold district.
As of December 2023, the Company is permitted to build and operate a second 50-person camp on site at the Valley target, in additional to its current "Forks" camp 17 km away. Construction of the Valley camp in 2024 will facilitate efficient exploration at Valley and free resources for robust exploration of additional regional targets.
