[{"type":"text","content":" Historical drilling includes 24.30 g/t Au, 65.10 g/t Ag, 0.82% Cu, and 3.68% Zn over 0.76 metres Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 11, 2023) - Big Gold Inc. (CSE: BG) (FSE: H7L) (the \"Company\" or \"Big Gold\") is pleased to announce the results from the completion of Phase 1 desktop compilation as part of the 2023 exploration program at the Tabor Project (\"Tabor\" or the \"Project\") located within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario. During Big Gold's 2023 exploration program on the 3,120-hectare Tabor Project, the technical team uncovered and analyzed historical drilling on the East Divide Area of the property (see Figure 2) which intersected multiple zones of gold mineralization, with assay highlights listed in the table below. Historic drilling was sporadically sampled, but intersected numerous mineralized shear zones. Highlights included hole RS-83-01, which intersected 0.76 m of 24.30 g/t Au, 65.10 g/t Ag, 0.82% Cu, and 3.68% Zn. Another hole, RS-83-07, intersected a parallel shear zone 150 metres east of the main zone, which outlines further opportunities at the Project.

The results from Goldshore Resources' Moss Gold Project to the west and Delta Resources' Delta-1 Project to the southeast suggests that the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt could host more gold deposits, perhaps in the middle, on our Tabor Project. Historic drilling in the southwest part of the Tabor Project intersected very similar rock types to the host lithologies to the west at Mo...
