2020-02-25 / @accesswire

 

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 24, 2020 / Majestic Gold Corp. ("Majestic" or the "Company") (TSXV:MJS)(FSE:A0BK1D) is pleased to announce that further to its December 18, 2019 news release the Company has filed a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Fair Adelaide East Project in Western Australia.

The SRK Consulting technical report summarizes the geological environment and historical work on the 1,322 hectare property that is comprised of eight contiguous tenements owned by Plutus Resources Pty. Ltd. ("Plutus"), located approximately 60 kilometres northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Ora Banda region of Western Australia. The property is situated within the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt of the Eastern Goldfields Province. The greenstone rocks that host gold mineralisation at Fair Adelaide East play host regionally to the Siberia gold deposit, which is six kilometers to the northwest, and the Mt. Pleasant and Paddington gold deposits, which are about 20-25 kilometers to the southeast of the project area.

The geology of the project area covers predominantly mafic - ultramafic rock types which in part are covered by alluvial soils of varying depths and these areas along with a number of other prospective targets remain untested. The project area is also prospective for base metals and is located adjacent and on strike to the Cawse Lateritic Nickel Project, which is five kilometers east of the Fair Adelaide East property.

Work by past explorers includes sampling of small pits within the granite, numerous porphyry dykes and quartz veins in the sheared ultramafics that returned results meriting follow-up of RAB and reverse circulation drilling of short holes that have yielded the following intercepts within the project area:

  • 17 metres @ 1.1 g/t gold from 17 metres
  • 5 metres @ 1.1 g/t gold from 22 metres
  • 12m @ 1.28 g/t gold from 22 metres
  • 17m @ 0.61 g/t gold from 15 metres
  • 22m @ 0.27g/t gold from 8 metres

A total of 13 verification samples were taken by SRK for this technical report including six rock chip samples from old prospecting pits, six grab samples from residual material at the collars of RAB/RC drill holes and one soil grab sample to verify gold mineralization. Nine of the twelve samples were taken in the area around a zone discovered in the southwest region of the property. Previous work outlined gold mineralization in a 400 meter long zone trending northwesterly. Results are presented below. All samples were sent to Intertek Australia's laboratory in Kalgoorlie for gold assaying using fire assay.

Majestic will continue to research and review data from previous exploration given that some of the historical work like drill data from the limited drilling done on the property was not available to SRK at the time of the report. Majestic will work with Plutus to complete the evaluation of all historical data in order to formulate an exploration plan for the Fair Adelaide East Project.

The Company entered into a letter agreement (the "Agreement") with Plutus, a privately-owned Australian company, whereby Majestic has been granted an option to acquire a 51% interest in eight tenements, or any number of them, located in Western Australia. Majestic may acquire a 51% interest in the full eight tenements by paying Plutus AU$30,000 on execution of the Agreement, a further AU$30,000 on or before December 2020 and expending a total AU$2,000,000 in exploration expenses on the properties during the ensuing two years ending December 15, 2023, provided that Majestic expends a minimum of AU$500,000 on the properties during the year commencing December 15, 2021 and ending December 15, 2022.

Alternatively, Majestic may elect to acquire a 51% interest in fewer than the full eight tenements by making the two cash payments of AU$30,000 and electing to expend a minimum of AU$250,000 on any one or any number of tenements each and relinquishing the balance of the tenements back to Plutus, again provided Majestic expends a minimum of AU$500,000 during the year commencing December 15, 2021 and ending December 15, 2022.

Following Majestic having earned a 51% interest either in the full eight Tenements or any fewer number, Plutus and Majestic shall either negotiate a joint venture for the further development of the then jointly-owned properties or negotiate a sale of a 44% interest in the said properties by Plutus to Majestic.

Stephen Kenwood, P. Geo., a Director of Majestic, is the Qualified Person within the context of National Instrument 43-101 and has read and approved this news release.
