NewOrigin Gold Corp. has completed a 1,875 meter diamond drill program at its North Abitibi Gold Project in northeastern Ontario. The drill program
consisted of four holes testing six discrete Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomalies in the
vicinity of known gold-bearing zones.
Hole NA-21-01 was drilled near the center of the 10 kilometer long property at the previously
identified Road Gold Zone. It tested two separate IP anomalies. The first was intersected near surface
in the upper part of the hole and identified a pyritic zone which had not previously been drilled. The
second IP anomaly which represented a depth extension of the Road Gold Zone was intersected
further downhole at a vertical depth of about 350 meters being approximately 100 meters below the
extent of previous drilling. This intersection was intended to follow-up on high-grade intercepts of
up to 17.8 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold across 1.6 meters in nearby historic drill holes.
Hole NA-21-02 was located 4 kilometers east of hole 1 and drilled to test the extension of an IP
anomaly where a previous drill hole had returned results of 0.74 g/t of gold over 20.0 meters including
1.44 g/t of gold over 6.0 meters.
The remaining two holes (NA-21-03 & NA-21-04) were located approximately 1.5 kilometers
northeast of hole 1 along a segment of the Spade Lake Gold Zone. Both holes tested the near-surface
source of an IP anomaly north of and parallel to the Spade Lake Zone and the continuity of the Spade
Lake Zone below previous drilling which was limited to a depth of 150 meters. Previous shallow
drilling near NA-21-03 intersected 23.4 g/t of gold across 1.5 meters and 500 meters to the west at
hole NA-21-04, previous intersections included 6.1 g/t of gold over 6.0 meters. Both of the current
holes intersected broad zones of pyritic rock confirming the source of the targeted deep IP anomalies
and possible extension of the Spade Lake Zone.
The Company is pleased with the preliminary, widely-spaced drill holes it was able to complete.
The 2021 program did meet with some technical difficulties associated with early winter conditions
and the initial anticipated drill meterage was not achieved. However, all primary targets were
intersected in the current program and valuable technical information was gained for future programs.
