[{"type":"text","content":"Contact Gold Continues to Extend Gold Mineralization at the Appaloosa Zone at Pony CreekVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 18, 2019) - Contact Gold Corp. (TSXV: C) (the \"Company\" or \"Contact Gold\") is pleased to report that exploration drill results from the 2019 program have returned broad zones of gold mineralization in the first holes drilled in two years into the Pony's \"Appaloosa Zone\" (formerly the North Zone). The Appaloosa Zone is an oxide gold corridor located 1.2 km northeast of the property's Bowl Zone, and currently extends over a 1.6 km strike length that is 200 metres wide. The Appaloosa Zone has been sparsely drilled and is open in all directions. It represents a sizeable zone of significant oxide gold mineralization at Pony Creek.Drill holes PC19-15 through PC19-18 reported today were drilled to target the extension, in both north and south directions, of the two highest grade gold intercepts in historical drilling in the Appaloosa Zone (38.1m @ 0.91 g/t Au in PC-06-03 and 36.5m @ 0.92 g/t Au in 95-08). These historical holes were not surveyed by historical operators and thus the location and projection of the mineralized intervals were uncertain. Contact Gold Drill Highlights - Appaloosa Zone:0.38 g/t Au over 28.96 m from 83.82 m in hole PC19-16Including 2.19 g/t Au over 3.05 m from 89.92 m0.84 g/t Au over 7.62 m from 85.35 m in hole PC19-17Including 1.56 g/t Au over 3.05 m from 88.39 m0.31 g/t Au over 13.72 m from 106.68 m in hole PC19-17\"The Appaloosa Zone represents the 3rd sizeable zone of shallow gold mineralization drilled by our team at Pony Creek. Future drilling at the Appaloosa Zone will leverage off these results and will also focus on the low-hanging fruit identified in the soil and rock anomalies generated by Contact Gold. We plan to aggressively advance this zone and add another shallow oxide gold corridor as we continue to grow our Pony Creek project,\" said Matt Lennox-King, President & CEO of Contact Gold. Appaloosa ZoneThe Appaloosa Zone is an at-to-near-surface oxide gold corridor stretching over 1.6 km, potentially connecting in a southwest direction 1.2km to the Bowl Zone, and to the northwest to the Mustang Target. This trend, defined by Contact Gold through soil sampling, rock sampling and drilling, ultimately terminates at Contact Gold's property boundary ...
