Goldseek Resources Inc. Announces Final Beschefer Drill Observations
Goldseek Resources Inc. (CNSX:GSK.CN) (FSE:4KG) (OTC:GSKKF) ("Goldseek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an update from its 5,000-meter drill program completed at Beschefer in mid-September. The Company reports two significant achievements:-
- Final holes successfully identified the geological continuity of the high-grade eastern lens with three holes completed up to 175 metres northeast of the Beschefer zone actual limit.
- Positive mineralization indicators such as the deformation, alteration style and fine grain pyritization were encountered in these final 8 holes drilled.
All holes have intersected the B14 gold-bearing shear zone structure between 100 and 250 meters deep using varied spacing between historical holes and newly drilled targets. The objective sought by this program is to validate high-grade intervals obtained historically, infill drilling on the gold zones and target the expansion of the modelled lenses (see news release dated September 2, 2021).
The Beschefer Project is located approximately 30 kilometres southwest of Wallbridge's Fenelon Gold Project. On March 3rd, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement on the Beschefer Project to earn 100% over 4 years from Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd. ("Wallbridge") (see news release dated March 3, 2021).
Visual Intercept Highlights from Final 8 Holes:
The B14 gold-bearing shear zone is a 9 to 50 meters thick interlayered package of mafic to felsic volcanic affected by a strong ductile deformation zone identified as a mylonite in previous work. The current interpretation indicates a succession of closely stacked lenses following a dip of 30 to 60 degrees to the southeast and extending along strike over nearly 1km.
East lens
Holes BE-21-08 to BE-21-11 are centred on the East lens marked historically by higher grades. These holes were all drilled on the same section as historical holes attempting to duplicate and extend the influence of historical results such as 10.3 g/t over 11.4m from hole BE12-014. The 2021 drill grid covered 100 meters along dip and this, between a vertical depth of 100 and 250 metres. Observations made so far all indicate a variable thickness of the gold-bearing structure between 9.5 and 50.3 metres. Strong alteration zones characterized by the feldspar-iron carbonate-sericite alteration were intersected in holes BE-12-08 and BE-12-09 with strong pyritization and chalcopyrite occurrences.
Step out drilling
Holes BE-21-12, BE-21-13 and BE-21-14 intersected a large felsic volcanic unit located between 100 and 175 metres northeast and along strike from the East Lens eastern limit at a vertical depth between 150 to 250 metres.
Felsic volcanics show both brecciated layer and more massive porphyric phases. A strong carbonate altered and ductile deformed structure followed at the footwall over apparent width varying between 17 and 35 metres. Visual characteristics correspond to different aspects of the Beschefer shallow dipping structure, such as banded pervasive hydrothermal replacement dominated by feldspathization, micro-fracturing and light pyritization. Secondary disseminated magnetite and sporadic chalcopyrite are two other phases identified in these holes and reflect the mineralized environment of the East lens.

True thickness of described intervals is evaluated between 85 and 100% of core length considering intersections angles and current interpretation.
Goldseek's President & CEO Jon Deluce states, "We continue to hit the targeted mineralization in all of our final holes including our 175-meter step-out on the East Zone, which is a testament to the continuity of the gold system and near resource potential. All samples have been delivered to the lab, and we expect to receive the remaining results in batches over the next month. With the recent announcement of 4.92 g/t gold over 28.65 meters in BE-21-02, we are moving forward with planning a follow-up drill program for this winter.
Also, we would like to point out the identification of what we think is a felsic volcanic centre representing the hanging wall of the Beschefer gold zone. This, combined with the copper anomaly recently highlighted, could represent another opportunity within the Beschefer gold zone."
