Garibaldi Updates Results, 2023 Drilling Targets Bhem Anomaly

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 6, 2023 / Garibaldi Resources (TSXV:GGI) (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to announce analysis of results for holes EL-22-97b and EL-22-98. The 2022 drill program at Nickel Mountain focused on testing the large ZTEM response along trend of the E&L gabbro system and successfully intercepted semi-massive sulphides within the broad geophysical target. The deep-seated ZTEM anomaly continues below the E&L for more than 1,000 meters and represents a large volume of highly prospective rocks. The Company's 100% owned Nickel Mountain-Palm Springs claims cover 180 sq. kms and is located within the heart of the Eskay mining district of Northwest British Columbia.

The untested keel of the E&L Intrusion coincides with the ZTEM geophysical response. The presence of rocks of the E&L intrusion with magmatic sulphide mineralization containing Ni-Cu-Co and precious metals indicates a promising new zone. The two holes provide critical data projecting new areas, to target for additional mineralization along trend of the E&L mineralized gabbro system. Most importantly, the two holes provide an excellent geophysical platform for bore-hole electro-magnetic (BHEM) surveys to test a volume coincident with the ZTEM response below the keel of the intrusion.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Hole 97b was drilled northwards beneath the E&L Intrusion to 738 meters depth and intercepted E&L type orbicular-textured gabbroic and ultramafic rocks with disseminated to semi-massive sulfides at 469.4 - 477.5m depth. This interval graded 0.14 % Ni, 0.16% Cu, and 0.30 g/t Pd. Concentrations of metal in the sulfide portion of the rock (termed metal tenor) returned 3.3 and 3.4 % Ni, 3.7 and 5.3 % Cu and 3.3 and 5.7 g/t Au+Pt+Pd in mineralized samples with at least 1% S grade. A massive sulphide target with a similar range in metal tenor is the focus of 2023 exploration at E&L.
• LaMontagne Geophysics completed BHEM surveys of the 2022 holes last month, resulting in a conductive anomaly over 100 meters wide approximately 50 meters off hole east of E&L-22-97B. The broad response lies 200 meters immediately down trend of the mineralized E&L gabbro in holes EL-20-88 and EL-21-91. Historically, when drill holes have intersected semi massive sulphides at Nickel Mountain, BHEM surveys have successfully identified off hole conductive anomalies comprised of massive sulfide lenses, these anomalies remain the focus of 2023 exploration at E&L.
• The interval of mineralization encountered in hole 97b extends the strike length of the E&L system to over a 1km downslope and remains open. The interval occurs within a package of Hazelton Group sedimentary rocks containing melanocratic rocks of the Nickel Mountain Gabbroic Complex.

EL-22-98 was collared from the same setup as EL-22-97b at -67 degrees to a depth of 942m. Hole EL-22-98 intercepted intervals of Nickel Mountain Gabbro from 550 - 621m and a melagabbro interval between 789 and 793.5m which might represent a splay of the E&L Intrusion. This hole was also lined with PVC in anticipation of BHEM surveying.
