NewOrigin Gold Corp. announced results from its 2021 diamond drill program at its 100% owned North Abitibi Gold Project. A total 1,875 metres ("m") were completed and all assay results from initially sampled core intervals have now been received.

The drill program consisted of 4 holes testing Induced Polarization ("IP") targets at depth in three separate zones where prior drilling was limited to approximately 150m vertical depth. Single drill holes were completed in the Road and East Central Zones and two holes completed in the Spade Lake Zone to a maximum length of 531m down hole. Drill holes completed in the Road and East Central Zones returned gold in quartz veins up to 223.6m down hole where the IP anomalies at depth intercepted pyritic zones with little to no gold values.

The final two drill holes testing IP anomalies at depth in the Spade Lake Zone both intercepted broad zones of anomalous gold mineralization. NewOrigin is likewise evaluating the detailed geological and trace element geochemical data received from this drilling to identify any additional relationships to gold mineralization that may serve as potential vectors to higher grade portions of the gold system meriting further investigation.
