[{"type":"text","content":"TORONTO, Ontario / TheNewswire / March 4, 2019 - Avidian Gold Corp. (\"Avidian\" or the \"Corporation\") (TSX-V:AVG) wishes to provide a summary of the major 2018 exploration results and corporate activity as well as its ongoing 2019 work program plans. The 2018 exploration program was focused on the Golden Zone property that is situated within the gold-endowed Tintina Mineral Belt, which is known to host a number of multi-million ounce gold deposits. The property is located 320 km north of Anchorage, Alaska and is conveniently accessed by a 16 km road west of the main highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks, which is also the main corridor for power and rail between the two cities. Key results from Avidian's exploration to date indicate the following: Exploration programs over the 15 km strike length at the Golden Zone property have defined three large gold ? base metal mineralized target areas within this district scale property. The current Breccia Pipe Deposit resource lies within one of these target areas. Copper King and the recently discovered JJ Zone lie within the other two target areas. 2018 drill results from the Mayflower and Breccia Pipe area indicate that there is an opportunity to define substantial additional resources in the neighbourhood of the Breccia Pipe Deposit. Additional targets in the immediate area of the known resource have yet to be drill tested. The Copper King/Long Creek area has the potential to host a major deposit, possibly of porphyry affiliation. The next phase of exploration will focus on drill testing identified targets. The newly discovered JJ Zone has a large surface footprint, is open in all directions and is gold bearing. It is interpreted to be the surface expression of an Intrusive Related Gold System (\"IGRS\"). In addition to IGRS mineralization, Avidian believes the Golden Zone property could yield important discoveries of large-scale porphyry style mineralization or replacement bodies in conglomerates. This is supported by drill intersections of mineralized conglomerates. Detailed Highlights of the 2018 Exploration Results: Staking of additional ground established a district scale project of over 105 sq km in size. The property now incorporates Avidian's Cohio project (grab samples of 110.0 g/t Au, 15.0 g/t Au and 9.7 g/t Au). Surface sampling and trenching along the 15 km trend at ...
