[{"type":"text","content":"Avidian Gold 2019 Review and 2020 Activity PlansTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 16, 2020 / Avidian Gold Corp. (\"Avidian\" or the \"Corporation\") (TSX-V:AVG) is providing a summary of the major 2019 exploration accomplishments, 2019 corporate activity and the 2020 exploration plans. The 2019 exploration program focused on the Golden Zone and Amanita properties, situated within the gold-endowed Tintina Mineral Belt, which is known to host a number of multi-million ounce gold deposits. Both properties are easily accessible on a year round basis.Key exploration results from Avidian's 2019 exploration program follow.Amanita Property, Alaska (Figure 1)Highlights from the trenching program within the Tonsina Trend structural corridor returned 94.5 m of 3.04 g/t Au; including 22.5 m of 11.51 g/t Au or 10.5 m of 22.80 g/t Au,27 m of 4.22 g/t Au; including 6.0 m of 13.85 g/t Au. The trench results combined with the historical drilling (13.72 m of 3.02 g/t Au, 10.67 m of 1.08 g/t Au, 12.19 m of 2.28 g/t Au, 4.57 m of 11.49 g/t Au, and 3.05 m of 14.04 g/t Au) highlight the wide distribution of oxide gold mineralization with significant widths and grades.Oxide gold mineralization extends throughout the 4 km long Tonsina Trend structural corridor. The Trend has only been sparsely evaluated by trenching and drilling (drill tested to < 150 m depth) along its strike (Figure 2).Golden Zone Property, AlaskaDiscovery of a new mineralized occurrence (MJ) located 3.4 km SW of the JJ Zone; MJ returned grab samples of 5.17 g/t Au and 4.2 g/t Au and 2.77% Cu within a mineralized area at least 200 m x 200 m and open in all directions (Figure 3).Prospecting and detailed sampling at the JJ - J4 Zone discovery has extended the strike length of this occurrence to at least 750 m and it remains open in both directions; it is now identified over an area 120 m wide, 300 m in height from the valley floor and >750 m in length with highlight grab samples of gossan zones ranging from 2.08 g/t Au to 6.14 g/t Au and chip samples of 12.0 m @ 1.40 g/t Au and 6.0 m @ 1.85 g/t Au.A summer field program comprised primarily of selective core relogging, further interpretation and compilation work as well as soil sampling continues to highlight the potential to add additional gold resources to the Breccia Pipe deposit. These target areas are in the immediate Brecia...
