P2 Gold Initiates Metallurgical Program at Gabbs Project; Phase One Drilling Planned for Third Quarter

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — P2 Gold Inc. (“P2” or the “Firm”) (TSX-V:PGLD) studies it has initiated a metallurgical program for its gold-copper Gabbs Undertaking, positioned on the Walker-Lane Development in Nevada, and plans to undertake a drill program at Gabbs within the third quarter.

Sullivan Zone Metallurgical Program

Two 36-kilogram metallurgical samples have been collected from floor areas inside the Sullivan Zone. Assay outcomes from the 2 metallurgical samples have returned gold and copper values according to historic drilling by prior operators on this location. See Desk 1 under for assay outcomes.

Desk 1: Sullivan Zone Composite Pattern Outcomes, June 2021 ⁽¹⁾

(1)      Samples have been submitted for preparation and evaluation by Base Metallurgical Laboratories in Kamloops, BC. All samples have been analyzed utilizing multi-acid digestion with ICP end for copper and hearth assay with AA end for gold.

For plan views of the 2021 metallurgical sampling areas please see Sullivan metallurgical sampling locations.

P2’s preliminary metallurgical program will consider the restoration of copper and gold from oxide mineralization by (a) sequential leach utilizing heap leach expertise and (b) typical milling utilizing a mixture of flotation and leaching.

Prior metallurgical check work at Gabbs centered on the restoration of oxide mineralization by each heap leaching and standard milling. Relying on the tactic, historic metallurgical recoveries have been reported to vary from 70% to 85% for copper and 85% to 95% for gold. (For a abstract of the work by prior operators, see P2’s Nationwide Instrument 43-101 Technical Report Up to date Mineral Useful resource Estimate of the Gabbs Gold-Copper Property dated January 13, 2021 and filed on www.sedar.com on March 11, 2021.) P2’s metallurgical assessments of the metallurgical samples will even consider the potential course of choices outlined by earlier operators.

P2’s preliminary metallurgical program is targeted on the oxide mineralization because the Inferred Mineral Useful resource for Gabbs assumes zero restoration of oxide copper mineralization. By confirming a viable choice for restoration of copper from the oxide mineralization, the Firm believes that oxide copper may be included in future estimates of the Mineral Useful resource. P2’s preliminary metallurgical program is anticipated to be accomplished within the coming months and outcomes might be reported when this system is accomplished.

Part One Drilling

Historic drilling at Gabbs was usually lower than 100 meters deep, penetrating solely the higher half of the interpreted mineralization because the drilling was targeting the oxide mineralization. Additionally, relying on the historic operator and the metallic of focus on the time, a big share of drill gap samples have been assayed for both copper or gold however not each metals.   On the Sullivan Zone, historic drilling recognized a near-surface, larger grade gold-copper layer measuring 30 meters to 50 meters in thickness, and 200 meters lengthy on part. This larger grade layer was not domained for the 2021 Inferred Mineral Useful resource. Consequently, P2 is planning an infill drill program to check the complete thickness and lateral extent of the mineralization and decide geologic constraints, to be able to redefine the prevailing Gabbs Undertaking Mineral Useful resource.

The primary section of the infill drill program, which is deliberate to start within the third quarter, will comprise roughly 8,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling centered primarily on the Sullivan Zone, the biggest of the 4 zones recognized thus far on the Gabbs property. Gold-copper mineralization within the Sullivan Zone is hosted inside what are interpreted to be sills related to an alkaline gold/copper porphyry. Moreover, a drill program is being evaluated for the Automotive Physique Zone, the smallest tonnage, highest-grading gold zone on the property the place gold mineralization is interpreted to be low-sulphidation epithermal mineralization.

The Gabbs Undertaking is comprised of 355 unpatented lode mining claims and one patented lode mining declare protecting 4 identified zones of mineralization and comprising roughly 2,800 hectares. Nevada Freeway 361, Gabbs Pole Line Highway and a powerline cross the Gabbs Undertaking.

The Gabbs Undertaking has an Inferred Mineral Useful resource of 1.84 million ounces of gold equal or 1.26 million ounces of gold and 422.3 million kilos of copper (73.1 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t gold and 0.26% copper). The Gabbs Undertaking oxide Inferred Mineral Useful resource Estimate is 610,000 ounces of gold (26.2 million tonnes grading 0.72 g/t gold and assumes zero restoration for copper).

Certified Individuals

The Mineral Useful resource Estimate was ready by Eugene Puritch, P.Eng. and F.H. Brown, P.Geo. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. of Brampton, Ontario, Impartial Certified Individuals (“QP”), as outlined by Nationwide Instrument 43-101. Ken McNaughton, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., Chief Exploration Officer, P2 Gold, is the QP liable for the Gabbs Undertaking exploration program.

Required Early Warning Report Disclosure

Underneath the Gabbs non-public placement that closed on Might 14, 2021 and the flow-through non-public placement that closed on June 4, 2021, Ken McNaughton acquired 5 million models of the Firm and 200,000 flow-through models of the corporate, respectively. Previous to the closing of the 2 non-public placements, Mr. McNaughton owned 4,100,000 widespread shares of the Firm representing roughly 9.89% of the issued and excellent voting securities of the Firm on a non-diluted foundation as at such time. Following the closing of the 2 non-public placements, Mr. McNaughton owns 9.3 million widespread shares of the Firm representing roughly 15.7% of the issued and excellent voting securities of the Firm on a non-diluted foundation. Mr. McNaughton acquired the widespread shares for funding functions solely and intends to evaluation his holdings on a seamless foundation and such holdings could also be elevated or decreased sooner or later.
