Gold Intersects From Drilling At Enchi Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Newcore Gold Ltd. reported on the 35,000-metre drill program underway at the Enchi Gold Project in Ghana. Shallow Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Boin Gold Deposit intersected multiple wide zones of higher-grade gold mineralization, including hole KBRC357 which intersected 4.41 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 24.0 metres (m) from 126 m, including a higher-grade interval of 9.08 g/t Au over 10.0 m from 132 m. Hole KBRC360 intersected 1.58 g/t Au over 52.0 m from 75 m, including a higher-grade interval of 3.04 g/t Au over 16.0 m from 96 m. Drilling continues to prove out the continuity of gold mineralization and potential for resource growth at Enchi.

The 35,000-metre drill program underway at Enchi is focused on resource growth and infill drilling designed to convert Inferred Resources to Indicated. The goal of the first phase of drilling is completion of drilling required for resource conversion in advance of commissioning a Pre-Feasibility Study later this year. The second phase of the drill program will focus on discovery and resource growth, including drilling targeting earlier-stage exploration targets along with drilling focused on defining the resource growth potential at depth and along strike.

Luke Alexander, President and CEO, said, "The results from the drill program underway at Enchi continue to highlight the strong continuity of mineralization as well as the potential for resource growth. Not only do we continue to encounter wide zones of gold mineralization, but we continue to encounter higher-grade zones of gold mineralization above the average grade of the deposit, and notably we continue to intersect mineralization below the limits of the pit that constrains the current Mineral Resource Estimate at Boin. These additional shallow high-grade intercepts continue to highlight the opportunity for meaningful resource growth at depth. With most drilling to date at Enchi only completed to an average vertical depth of 100 metres, we believe we have only just begun to define the potential of the Project when compared to other multi-million-ounce gold mines, including Asante’s Chirano and Bibiani mines as well as Newmont’s Ahafo mine, which are located along the Sefwi-Bibiani belt. We look forward to continuing to highlight the growth and size potential of our district scale Enchi Gold Project as we advance the Project towards a mineral resource update and Pre-Feasibility Study in H1 2026."
