Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (the “Company” or “Granada”) is pleased to provide a gold assay of 4.33 grams per tonne on its 500-tonne bulk sample taken from surface in 2020.
HIGHLIGHTS:
· A 500-tonne mineralized, and 900-tonne waste rock bulk sample were taken from surface in 2020
· A 10.5-tonne composite sample was screened from the 500-tonne mineralized bulk sample
· The 10.5-tonne composite sample was crushed, ground and screened at 20 mesh to ensure no visible gold was in the sample to be evaluated.
“The bulk sample confirms both near-surface drill results and the potential for a higher-grade open pit mining scenario. Higher grades translate to lower processing costs per ounce and lower capital expenditures for a processing plant. The bulk sample has returned a higher gold grade than the current target open pit grade of 2 g/t.”
Frank J. Basa, President and CEO
The 500-tonne bulk sample was taken 400 meters east of Pit #1 on the Vein 1 structure which trends 5.2 kilometers east-west. Historically Vein 1 was mined from underground in the thirties at 9-10 grams per tonne gold, and mined by open pit in 1993-94 at 5.17 grams per tonne gold having mined 87,000 tonnes and again in 1996 at 3.46 grams per tonne gold having mined 22,095 tonnes.
