Reunion Gold reports further high-grade trenching results at the Oko West Gold Project, Guyana - Seite 2

On December 9, 2020, the Company had reported the assay results from 19 trenches completed at Oko West in 2020. So far, results from 25 trenches with a combined length of approximately 2,700 meters have been released. The ongoing trenching program continues to expand the footprint of three mineralized shear zones discovered in 2020, and the Company plans to test the entire 6-km long geochemical gold anomaly coinciding with a granite and volcanic contact (Figure 1). Gold mineralization is found in north-south shear zones straddling the contact of weathered granitic and volcanic rocks (Figure 2), with frequent intercalation of lithological units, and associated with quartz veining and alteration minerals like pyrite and sericite.

On February 18, 2021, the Company had reported assay results from its initial 1,000-meter diamond drilling program at Oko West. The Company also plans to conduct another diamond drilling campaign to test the encouraging gold mineralization found in the trenches further in the year.

Oko West is part of a group of permits in the Cuyuni River basin covering an area of 9,420 acres where the Company has an option to acquire a 100% ownership interest.

Sample collection, assaying and data management

Channel samples were taken horizontally and continuously in in-situ weathered rocks (saprolite) at regular intervals on trench walls. Reunion considers channel samples as sub-horizontal "drill holes" given their continuity and representative rock mass. Samples were sealed in plastic bags and shipped to the Actlabs certified laboratory in Georgetown, Guyana, respecting the best chain of custody practices. At the laboratory, samples were dried, crushed up to 80% passing 2 mm, riffle split (250 g), and pulverized to 95% passing 105 μm, including cleaner sand. 50 g of pulverized material is fire assayed by atomic absorption (AA). Initial assays with results above 3,000 ppb gold are re-assayed with gravimetric finish. Assay data is subject to QA/QC using acQuire software and management by an independent consultant.
