Latest Drilling Continues to Intercept Gold Mineralization Beyond Identified Bradshaw Deposit

TORONTO, June 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gowest Gold Ltd. (“Gowest” or the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE:GWA) is pleased to announce assay results from the recently completed spring core drill program at its 100% owned Bradshaw Gold Deposit (“Bradshaw”) within the Company’s North Timmins Gold Project (“NTGP”). This latest surface drilling program was designed to assist in the development of Bradshaw’s mineable resource, and more specifically focused on the location of the vent raise, the secondary egress necessary for the production phase of the mine and on the crown pillar assessment prior to continuing the expansion of the Advanced Exploration Bulk Sample program.

Highlights:

            Successfully extended gold horizons to subsurface

            Best intercepts include:

• 2.2 m of 12.24 grams per tonne (g/t) gold intersected in hole BGMGT-01
  • Including 0.7m grading 33.9 g/t gold
• 2.5 m of 1.89 g/t gold also in hole BGMGT-03
  • Including 0.5 m grading 4.36 g/t gold

“We are pleased to be able to report that we are continuing to advance the development of Bradshaw, and to provide the results from the recent drilling at the deposit,” said Greg Romain, Gowest’s President and CEO. “In addition to the significant technical information that we have received, we can reconfirm our belief that the deposit extends beyond the currently defined outline in a new area adjacent to the existing underground infrastructure. This clearly underlines the potential to add additional ounces to our resources and reserves at the project.”

Technical Review:

This latest program included six diamond drill holes, which were completed for 330 metres (m) of surface drilling (see Figure 1 below.) Three of the holes were drilled near the mine development infrastructure to assess the crown pillar, which provides the primary support for the top of the mine. The other three holes were drilled to the north of the deposit to gather information in preparation for developing the first leg of the ventilation raise and the secondary egress for the mine (see Gowest news release dated May 6, 2020.)
