[{"type":"text","content":"BTU Finds High Gold in Till Samples Associated with Artificial Intelligence Targets- New Drill Program Being Scheduled for Later This Summer -VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2020 / BTU METALS CORP. (\"BTU\" or the \"Company\") (TSX:V:BTU) provides an update on the first batch of results from the ongoing 2020 gold in till sampling program at its flagship Dixie Halo property that shares a 35-kilometre border with Great Bear Resources Ltd.'s (\"Great Bear\") Dixie property. The current sampling program has been focused on an 8-kilometre long by 5-kilometre wide portion of the property along the south-west to north-east geological and structural trend that mirrors Great Bear's 'LP' rock sequences. The gold in till sampling results include high gold grain counts up to 156 including 115 pristine in one sample and continue to show anomalous gold in till across the entirety of the surveyed area (Figure 1).Paul Wood, BTU CEO, said, \"The most recent gold in till data confirms there are sampled areas on the property that show high concentrations of gold and in a number of cases high gold grain concentrations are located proximal or directly associated with some of our recently identified AI targets. From prior work by us and others we know that there is a lot of evidence of gold in the neighbourhood and we can see from the high counts of pristine gold grains in some of our samples that some of the gold has not travelled far from its bedrock source. We are continuing with our surface and mechanical till sampling program and we expect to have the drill back in action shortly to start testing some of the areas that we see as priority targets.\"HighlightsNew high regional gold grain counts in till samples with one sample containing 156 total gold grains, 115 of which are described as pristine in nature indicating a very short transport distance from the original bedrock sourceSeveral high gold grain counts are directly associated with, or are immediately down-ice from some of the recently identified artificial intelligence (\"AI\") targetsSeveral high gold grain counts occur on areas of the property not yet assessed with AI targetingFully funded drill program to test new priority gold targets is scheduled for later summerFigure 1: Total # of gold grains from 2019 and 2020 BTU till sampling programsTracing of high gold in till sample r...
